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

On April 6, 2023, Skillz, Inc.

The Certificate of Correction was filed to correct an inaccurate reference to the total number of authorized shares of capital stock of the Company, which failed to reference the common stock of the Company.

Pursuant to Section 103(f) of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”), the correction was effective as of December 16, 2020.

The foregoing description of the Certificate of Correction does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Certificate of Correction, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (this “Current Report”) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Items.

As previously disclosed, on March 17, 2023, the Company filed a petition in the Delaware Court of Chancery pursuant to Section 205 of the DGCL seeking validation of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and the shares issued pursuant thereto to resolve any uncertainty with respect to those matters (captioned In re Skillz Inc., C.A. No. 2023-0336-LWW (Del. Ch.), the “Section 205 Action”).

On April 5, 2023, the Court of Chancery held a hearing in the Section 205 Action and orally granted the Company’s petition and, on April 5, 2023, the Court issued an order in the Section 205 Action granting the Company’s petition validating the Certificate of Incorporation, all shares of capital stock of the Company issued pursuant thereto and all other corporate actions and transactions taken in reliance on the effectiveness of the Certificate of Incorporation. A copy of the Court’s order is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report.
