Exact text from the filing

On March 21, 2023, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Skillz Inc. (the “Company”), in consultation with management of the Company, concluded that the Company’s previously issued consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 and the previously issued unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements in 2020 and 2021 and the first three quarters of 2022 (collectively, the “Relevant Periods”), as well as the associated earnings press releases, were materially misstated and therefore the financial statements should be restated and the financial statements and earnings press releases should no longer be relied upon.
