Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Officers.

(b) Elly Ryu informed Skillz Inc. (the “Company”) that she has decided to step down from her position as Corporate Controller and Global Head of Accounting effective as of September 8, 2023. Ms. Ryu has served in this role since April 3, 2023. Ms. Ryu’s decision to step down was due to personal reasons and not as a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to its operations, policies or practices. Ms. Ryu has agreed to provide consulting and transition services to the Company for an interim period through the date the Company files its next report on Form 10-Q to provide operational continuity during the transition process. We thank Ms. Ryu for her dedicated service to the Company.

The Company has appointed Jason Roswig, its President and Chief Financial Officer, to the role of Interim Corporate Controller and Global Head of Accounting, and is in the process of searching for a qualified candidate to hire as the new full-time Corporate Controller and Global Head of Accounting.

Item 8.01. Other Events.
(c) On August 31, 2023, in order to more directly incentivize the key employees of the Company’s subsidiary, Aarki, Inc. (“Aarki”), the Company made the determination to allow certain key employees of Aarki to receive equity awards in Aarki, consisting of a combination of option awards and restricted stock awards, which will vest over the next four years. On a fully diluted basis, the awards would represent approximately 20% of the ownership of Aarki. In connection with the grant of awards, the Company is also investing $5,000,000 in the form of Series A Preferred Stock of Aarki to properly allocate working capital to the business. The Company does not intend to grant any future Skillz equity awards to any Aarki employees, and all unvested Skillz equity awards have been surrendered by Aarki employees.

In connection with the foregoing, Aarki is also being designated as an unrestricted subsidiary under the indenture governing the Company’s 10.250% Secured Notes due 2026.
