Item 5.03.    Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year

Reverse Stock Split

On June 20, 2023, the stockholders of Skillz Inc. (“Skillz” or the “Company”) voted at the 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to grant the Board of Directors (the “Board”) discretionary authority, at any time prior to the one-year anniversary of the Annual Meeting, to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (the “Charter”) to effect (a) a reverse stock split (the “Reverse Stock Split”) to reduce the number of shares of our outstanding Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (together, the “Common Stock”) by combining shares of our Common Stock into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock by a ratio of not less than 1-for-10 and not more than 1-for-20 shares (the “Ratio Range”) and (b) a reduction in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock by a corresponding proportion (the “Authorized Share Reduction”).

Following stockholder approval, our Board had the authority to decide, in its sole discretion, without further action by the stockholders, (i) whether to effect the Reverse Stock Split within twelve months of the Annual Meeting date, (ii) the specific timing of effectiveness of the Reverse Stock Split and (iii) the exact ratio of the Reverse Stock Split and Authorized Share Reduction within the Ratio Range (the “Final Ratio”).

On June 22, 2023, the Board approved the Final Ratio of 1-for-20. The Reverse Stock Split became effective on June 23, 2023 upon filing of a Certificate of Amendment (the “Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment”) to the Company’s Charter with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”).

As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every 20 shares of issued and outstanding Common Stock were, at the Effective Time, combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of Common Stock, and the number of authorized shares of Common Stock was reduced proportionately. The par value per share of Common Stock remains unchanged. No fractional shares will be issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Instead, stockholders of record who otherwise would be entitled to receive fractional shares will be entitled to an amount in cash (without interest or deduction) equal to the fraction of one share to which such stockholder would otherwise be entitled multiplied by the closing price of our Class A Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on June 23, 2023.

The Reverse Stock Split affects all stockholders uniformly and will not alter any stockholder’s percentage interest in the Company’s common stock, except for adjustments that may result from the treatment of fractional shares as described above.

The Company’s Class A Common Stock will begin trading on a split-adjusted basis on the NYSE at market open on June 26, 2023. The trading symbol for the Common Stock will remain “SKLZ.” The new CUSIP number for the Class A Common Stock following the Reverse Stock Split is 83067L208.

The foregoing descriptions of the Reverse Stock Split and Reverse Stock Split Certificate of Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the complete text of the Certificate of Amendment, a copy of which is filed with this report as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated into this report by reference.

Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.

On June 22, 2023, the Company issued a press release announcing the Reverse Stock Split. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

The information contained in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including in Exhibit 99.1 attached hereto, is “furnished” and not “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section. Such information shall not be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), except to the extent such other filing specifically incorporates such information by reference.

Item 8.01.    Other Events.

The information provided in Item 5.03 is hereby incorporated by reference.

The Company has registration statements on Form S-8 (File No. 333-253394 and 333-258662) on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). Commission regulations permit the Company to incorporate by reference future filings made with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, prior to the termination of the offerings covered by registration statements filed on Form S-8. The information incorporated by reference is considered to be part of the prospectus included within each of those registration statements. Information in this Item 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is therefore intended to be automatically incorporated by reference into each of the active registration statements listed above, thereby amending them. Pursuant to Rule 416(b) under the Securities Act, the amount of undistributed shares of Common Stock deemed to be covered by the effective registration statements of the Company described above are proportionately reduced as of the Effective Time to give effect to the Reverse Stock Split.
