Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets. On July 6, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Skillsoft Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Skillsoft”), completed the sale (the “Transaction”) of all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests of Global Knowledge Training LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Company,” and together with the Company’s direct and indirect subsidiaries, the “Transferred Companies”), pursuant to and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the previously-disclosed Sale and Purchase Agreement, dated May 20, 2026 (the “SPA”), by and between GK Holdings, Inc, a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Skillsoft (“Seller”) and EHJob GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of Enduring Ventures (“Purchaser”). The Transferred Companies operate Skillsoft’s former Global Knowledge business, which provides instructor-led training delivered both in-person and virtually. Pursuant to the SPA, Purchaser acquired Skillsoft’s Global Knowledge business for consideration comprised of: (i) initial consideration of approximately $5.4 million (after the application of agreed adjustments based on the estimated working capital (including cash) and indebtedness of the Transferred Companies immediately prior to the Closing Date), which amount is subject to final adjustment in accordance with procedures set forth in the SPA; and (ii) commencing nine months after the Closing Date, deferred consideration of $10.0 million, less approximately $2.0 million related to long-term employee liabilities, payable in five equal quarterly installments, subject to certain off-set rights. The initial consideration was funded by a note issued by the Company to the Seller (the “Seller Note”), payable on July 31, 2026 (with $2.0 million of the principal amount extendable to October 31, 2026), secured by the Company’s cash and accounts receivable. The Purchaser’s obligation to pay the deferred consideration is guaranteed by the Company and secured by the Transferred Companies’ intellectual property rights. In the event of a sale, merger, recapitalization or similar transaction involving all or a material portion of the shares or the assets of the Transferred Companies on or before the third anniversary of the Closing Date, the Purchaser is obligated to pay 30% of the net sales proceeds or distributed sales proceeds of the transaction to the Seller.
