Item 4.01. Changes in Registrant’s Certifying
Accountant.
On July 2, 2021, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of Skillsoft
Corp. (the “Company”) approved a resolution appointing Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s
independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending
January 31, 2022, as well as for the transition period between January 1, 2021 and January 31, 2021 (given that the Company has changed
its fiscal year to the period commencing on February 1 of each calendar year and ending on January 31 of the following calendar year)
replacing Marcum LLP (“Marcum”), which is dismissed from its role as the independent registered public accounting firm
for Churchill Capital Corp II (“Churchill”). Churchill, now known as Skillsoft Corp., was the predecessor special purpose
acquisition company prior to the merger with Software Luxembourg Holding S.A.
Marcum’s reports on the Churchill financial statements for the
period from April 11, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 did not contain an adverse
opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, nor were the reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. Additionally,
at no point during the period from April 11, 2019 (inception) through December 31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020
and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K were there any disagreements with Marcum on any
matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if
not resolved to the satisfaction of Marcum, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection
with its reports.
The Company has provided Marcum with a copy of the foregoing disclosure
and has requested that Marcum furnish the Company with a letter addressed to the SEC stating whether or not it agrees with the statements
made herein, each as required by applicable SEC rules. A copy of Marcum’s letter to the SEC is filed as Exhibit 16.1 to this
Current Report on Form 8-K.
During the period from April 11, 2019 (inception) through December
31, 2019 and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 and the subsequent interim period through the date of this Current Report on
Form 8-K, the Company did not consult with EY regarding any of the matters or events set forth in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii) of
Regulation S-K.
Item 9.01. Financial Statement and Exhibits.
(d) Exhibits.
The list of exhibits is set forth on the Exhibit
Index of this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
