#1ANALYST DAY PRESENTATION February 2021 skillsoft#2Introduction Strategy Content DISCLAIMER Platform Go-To-Market Finance Q&A IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL INFORMATION AND WHERE TO FIND IT This communication is being made in respect of the proposed merger transaction involving Churchill II and Skillsoft. Churchill II has filed a registration statement on Form S-4 with the SEC, which includes a proxy statement of Churchill II and a prospectus of Churchill II, and Churchill II has filed and will file other documents regarding the proposed transaction with the SEC. A definitive proxy statement/prospectus will also be sent to the stockholders of Churchill II and Skillsoft, seeking any required stockholder approval. Before making any voting or investment decision, investors and security holders of Churchill II and Skillsoft are urged to carefully read the entire registration statement and proxy statement/prospectus and any other relevant documents filed with the SEC, as well as any amendments or supplements to these documents, because they contain important information about the proposed transaction. The documents filed by Churchill II with the SEC may be obtained free of charge at the SEC's website at www.sec.gov. In addition, the documents filed by Churchill II may be obtained free of charge from Churchill II at www.churchillcapitalcorp.com. Alternatively, these documents can be obtained free of charge from Churchill II upon written request to Churchill Capital Corp II, 640 Fifth Avenue, 12th Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attn: Secretary, or by calling (212) 380-7500. Churchill II, Skillsoft and certain of their respective directors and executive officers may be deemed to be participants in the solicitation of proxies from the stockholders of Churchill II, in favor of the approval of the merger. Information regarding Churchill II's directors and executive officers is contained in Churchill II's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2020, June 30, 2020, and September 30, 2020 which are filed with the SEC. Additional information regarding the interests of those participants, the directors and executive officers of Skillsoft and other persons who may be deemed participants in the transaction may be obtained by reading the registration statement and the proxy statement/prospectus and other relevant documents filed with the SEC. Free copies of these documents may be obtained as described in the preceding paragraph. This communication does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities or a solicitation of any vote or approval, nor shall there be any sale of any securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of such other jurisdiction. FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS; NON-GAAP This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, Churchill II's, Skillsoft's and Global Knowledge's expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled," "anticipates" or "intends" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Churchill II's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and in the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and none of Churchill II, Skillsoft or Global Knowledge is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the filings, which Churchill II has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC. In addition to factors previously disclosed in Churchill II's filings with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the Skillsoft merger, including approval by stockholders of Churchill II and Skillsoft, and the Global Knowledge merger on the expected terms and schedule and the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; delay in closing the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transactions; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transactions; business disruption following the transactions; risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge; risks related to Churchill II's, Skillsoft's or Global Knowledge's indebtedness; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and risks of demand for, and acceptance of, our products and for cloud-based technology learning solutions in general; our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets and changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets in which we operate; our ability to develop new products; failure of our information technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security; future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in our industry; the impact of natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events; our ability to attract and retain key employees and qualified technical and sales personnel; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to protect or obtain intellectual property rights; our ability to raise additional capital; the impact of our indebtedness on our financial position and operating flexibility; and our ability to successfully defend ourselves in legal proceedings. Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Churchill II's, Skillsoft's and Global Knowledge's control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Churchill II and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Churchill II. All subsequent written and oral forward- looking statements concerning Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, the proposed transactions or other matters and attributable to Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Some financial information in this communication, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin projections, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Churchill II is unable to provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of the necessary information for such calculations. skillsoft 2#3Introduction Strategy CHURCHILL CAPITAL ● MICHAEL KLEIN Chief Executive Officer TODAY'S SPEAKERS Investment banking executive with extensive transaction experience skillsoft Content Platform skillsoft Go-To-Market JEFF TARR Incoming Chief Executive Officer Previously served as CEO of DigitalGlobe, President & COO of IHS and CEO of Hoover's Finance MARK ONISK Chief Content Officer ● 20-year track record in learning content and product management Previous GM of Books 24x7 and VP, Learning Products at Element K Q&A APRATIM PURAKAYASTHA Chief Technology Officer ● ● ● Software and SaaS product executive 20 years experience in collaboration and learning software Previously served as Director at IBM and Group President at ACI Worldwide PATRICK MANZO Chief Revenue Officer ● ● Experience leading all phases of revenue operations Public, private and transactional operating experience MICHELLE BOOCKOFF-BAJDEK Chief Marketing Officer ● Global marketing leader passionate about exceptional customer experiences Most recently served as CMO of IBM Watson 3#4Introduction Strategy Content skillsoft Platform AGENDA 01 Introduction 02 Strategy 03 Content 04 Platform 05 Go-to-Market 06 Finance 07 Q&A Go-To-Market Finance Q&A Michael Klein Jeff Tarr Mark Onisk Apratim Purakayastha Patrick Manzo & Michelle Boockoff-Bajdek Jeff Tarr 4#5Introduction Strategy skillsoft Content Platform Go-To-Market Finance Q&A INTRODUCTION 5#6Introduction Strategy WHO WE ARE A unique model, the first GP team focused purely on public equity vehicles OVERVIEW CHURCHILL CAPITAL A track record of acquiring proven, profitable, growing businesses of scale skillsoft Content Platform Go-To-Market Creating value by leveraging the active engagement of high performing Fortune 500 CEOS A competitive edge in global sourcing Finance Q&A A pioneer in public. equity vehicles for scale investments The demonstrated best partner for prospective targets THE CHURCHILL COMPANIES ASSET Vehicle Acquisition Announced Churchill Partner Equity Value Firm Value ►Clarivate™ CHURCHILL CAPITAL I January 2019 Jerre Stead $19B $22B CHURCHILL CAPITAL IV CHURCHILL CAPITAL II skillsoft Raised Jun. 2019 Raised Jul. 2020 $690M $2.07B CHURCHILL CAPITAL V iMultiPlan.

The adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 is primarily related to Skillsoft reorganization gain, offset by Skillsoft goodwill impairment. Refer to pages 146 and 196 in the S-4 for additional detail for Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, respectively. 6 Pro forma combined EBITDA includes the historical results of Churchill, Skillsoft, and Global Knowledge, and related pro forma adjustments as referred to within the section "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" in the S-4. EBITDA represents net (loss) income plus or minus net interest, plus provision for income taxes, depreciation, amortization, and impact of the re-organization gain as a result of fresh-start reporting as they relate to Skillsoft's historical financial statements. 7 Refer to pages 144 and 196 in the S-4 for a description of non-GAAP adjustments. 8 Combined Adjusted EBITDA includes the historical results of Churchill, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, and excludes the impact of pro forma adjustments as referred to within the section "Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information" in the S-4. Savings expected from cost and operating synergies are not reflected in the Combined Adjusted EBITDA. Adjusted EBITDA represents EBITDA plus primarily non-cash items and non-recurring items that we consider useful to exclude in assessing our operating performance (e.g., stock-based compensation expense, restructuring charges, retention costs, recapitalization and transaction-related costs, net foreign currency impact and other net gains and losses, certain impacts of fresh-start and purchase accounting, and one-time impact of the deconsolidation of Canada). 72#73RECONCILIATION OF NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES (S-4) ($M) Net Revenue Impact of fresh-start and purchase accounting One-time impact of the deconsolidation of Canada Adjusted Net Revenue Reseller Fees Adjusted Gross Revenue Net income (loss) - GAAP Interest expense, net Provision for income taxes Depreciation and amortization Impairment of goodwill and intangible assets Impact of fresh-start and purchase accounting EBITDA Non-recurring retention and consulting costs Recapitalization and transaction-related costs Restructuring and contract terminations Integration and migration related Foreign currency and other non-cash expense Other add backs Adjusted EBITDA skillsoft Skills oft (1/31/20) Source: S-4 1 Calculation pursuant to credit agreement operative in those periods. 2 Reflects nine months ended 10/31/20A. 3 Reflects nine months ended 10/2/20A.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS; NON-GAAP This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 including, but not limited to, Churchill II's, Skillsoft's and Global Knowledge's expectations or predictions of future financial or business performance or conditions. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions. Generally, statements that are not historical facts, including statements concerning our possible or assumed future actions, business strategies, events or results of operations, are forward-looking statements. These statements may be preceded by, followed by or include the words "believes," "estimates," "expects," "projects," "forecasts," "may," "will," "should," "seeks," "plans," "scheduled," "anticipates" or "intends" or similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that may cause actual events, results or performance to differ materially from those indicated by such statements. Certain of these risks are identified and discussed in Churchill II's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 under Risk Factors in Part I, Item 1A and in the registration statement on Form S-4 discussed above. These risk factors will be important to consider in determining future results and should be reviewed in their entirety. These forward-looking statements are expressed in good faith, and Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe there is a reasonable basis for them. However, there can be no assurance that the events, results or trends identified in these forward-looking statements will occur or be achieved. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and none of Churchill II, Skillsoft or Global Knowledge is under any obligation, and expressly disclaim any obligation, to update, alter or otherwise revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law. Readers should carefully review the statements set forth in the filings, which Churchill II has filed or will file from time to time with the SEC. In addition to factors previously disclosed in Churchill II's filings with the SEC and those identified elsewhere in this communication, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements or historical performance: ability to meet the closing conditions to the Skillsoft merger, including approval by stockholders of Churchill II and Skillsoft, and the Global Knowledge merger on the expected terms and schedule and the risk that regulatory approvals required for the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger are not obtained or are obtained subject to conditions that are not anticipated; delay in closing the Skillsoft merger and the Global Knowledge merger; failure to realize the benefits expected from the proposed transactions; the effects of pending and future legislation; risks related to disruption of management time from ongoing business operations due to the proposed transactions; business disruption following the transactions; risks related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the financial condition and results of operations of Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge; risks related to Churchill II's, Skillsoft's or Global Knowledge's indebtedness; other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms; and risks of demand for, and acceptance of, our products and for cloud-based technology learning solutions in general; our ability to compete successfully in competitive markets and changes in the competitive environment in our industry and the markets in which we operate; our ability to develop new products; failure of our information technology infrastructure or any significant breach of security; future regulatory, judicial and legislative changes in our industry; the impact of natural disasters, public health crises, political crises, or other catastrophic events; our ability to attract and retain key employees and qualified technical and sales personnel; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates; our ability to protect or obtain intellectual property rights; our ability to raise additional capital; the impact of our indebtedness on our financial position and operating flexibility; and our ability to successfully defend ourselves in legal proceedings. Any financial projections in this communication are forward-looking statements that are based on assumptions that are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and contingencies, many of which are beyond Churchill II's, Skillsoft's and Global Knowledge's control. While all projections are necessarily speculative, Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge believe that the preparation of prospective financial information involves increasingly higher levels of uncertainty the further out the projection extends from the date of preparation. The assumptions and estimates underlying the projected results are inherently uncertain and are subject to a wide variety of significant business, economic and competitive risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in the projections. The inclusion of projections in this communication should not be regarded as an indication that Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, or their representatives, considered or consider the projections to be a reliable prediction of future events. Annualized, pro forma, projected and estimated numbers are used for illustrative purpose only, are not forecasts and may not reflect actual results. This communication is not intended to be all-inclusive or to contain all the information that a person may desire in considering an investment in Churchill II and is not intended to form the basis of an investment decision in Churchill II. All subsequent written and oral forward- looking statements concerning Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge, the proposed transactions or other matters and attributable to Churchill II, Skillsoft and Global Knowledge or any person acting on their behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements above. Some financial information in this communication, including Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA margin projections, have not been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Churchill II is unable to provide reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP measures without unreasonable effort due to the uncertainty of the necessary information for such calculations. skillsoft 76
