Skillsoft completes sale of Global Knowledge unit; initial consideration about $5.4 million
Skillsoft completed the sale of its Global Knowledge training business to an affiliate of Enduring Ventures on July 6, 2026. Initial consideration of approximately $5.4 million was paid in a seller note, and deferred consideration of $10.0 million, less about $2.0 million for long-term employee liabilities, is due in installments starting nine months after closing. The filing shows the business's pre-sale results removed from continuing operations, so Skillsoft's reported results will reflect a smaller, AI-focused skills platform.
Key points
- Closing date was July 6, 2026; buyer is EHJob GP LLC, an affiliate of Enduring Ventures
- Initial consideration of approximately $5.4 million, funded by a seller note payable July 31, 2026 ($2.0 million of principal extendable to October 31, 2026)
- Deferred consideration of $10.0 million, less about $2.0 million, payable in five equal quarterly installments starting nine months after closing
- If the business is sold again within three years of closing, Skillsoft is entitled to 30% of net sale proceeds
