1 SKILLZ 2020 OMNIBUS INCENTIVE PLAN RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AWARD AGREEMENT THIS RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made effective as of May 11, 2022 (the “Grant Date”) by and between Skillz Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Jerry Bruckheimer (the “Participant”), pursuant to the Skillz Inc. 2020 Omnibus Incentive Plan, as in effect and as amended from time to time (the “Plan”). Capitalized terms that are not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Plan. WHEREAS, the Company has adopted the Plan in order to grant Awards from time to time to certain key Employees, Directors and Consultants of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Affiliates; and WHEREAS, the Participant is an Eligible Recipient as contemplated by the Plan, and the Administrator has determined that it is in the interest of the Company to make this grant to the Participant. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Plan, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. Grant and Vesting of Restricted Stock Units. (a) Shares Subject to Award. As of the Grant Date, the Participant will be credited with 381,679 Restricted Stock Units. Each Restricted Stock Unit is a notional amount that represents the right to receive one Share of Class A Common Stock of the Company, subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and this Agreement, if and when the Restricted Stock Unit vests. (b) Vesting. The Restricted Stock Units shall vest according to the schedule set forth on the Appendix hereto, subject to the Participant’s continuous service (“Service”) with the Company under the Consulting Agreement between the Participant and the Company effective as of April 1, 2022 (the “Consulting Agreement”) from the Grant Date through each vesting date. 2. Rights as a Stockholder. (a) Unless and until a Restricted Stock Unit has vested and the Share underlying it has been distributed to the Participant, the Participant will not be entitled to vote in respect of that Restricted Stock Unit or that Share.

2 (b) If the Company declares a cash dividend on its Shares, then, on the payment date of the dividend, the Participant will be credited with dividend equivalents equal to the amount of cash dividend per Share multiplied by the number of Restricted Stock Units credited to the Participant through the record date. The dollar amount credited to the Participant under the preceding sentence will be credited to an account (“Account”) established for the Participant for bookkeeping purposes only on the books of the Company. The balance in the Account will be subject to the same terms regarding vesting and forfeiture as the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units awarded under this Agreement, and will be paid in cash in a single sum at the time that the Shares associated with the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are delivered (or forfeited at the time that the Participant’s Restricted Stock Units are forfeited). 3. Termination of Service; Breach of Restrictive Covenants. (a) In the event of termination of the Consulting Agreement by the Company pursuant to Section 9.1 thereof (for convenience), by Participant pursuant to Section 9.3 thereof (for Good Reason) or termination due to the Participant’s death or disability, any Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder that remain unvested as of the date of termination shall accelerate and vest in full effective as of the effective date of termination. (b) In the event of termination of the Consulting Agreement by Participant pursuant to Section 9.1 thereof (for convenience) or by the Company pursuant to Section 9.2 thereof (for Cause), vesting shall cease and any Restricted Stock Unit unvested as of the date of termination shall be forfeited. 4. Timing and Form of Payment. Once a Restricted Stock Unit vests, the Participant will be entitled to receive a Share in its place. Delivery of the Share will be made as soon as administratively feasible following the vesting of the associated Restricted Stock Unit (but in any event no later than 30 days following the vesting of such Restricted Stock Unit). Shares will be credited to an account established for the benefit of the Participant with the Company’s administrative agent. The Participant will have full legal and beneficial ownership of the Shares at that time. 5. Tax Withholding. The Company does not intend to withhold cash or Shares that are distributable to the Participant in order to satisfy any federal, state, or local withholding tax requirements relating to such transaction; it shall be the Participant’s sole responsibility to pay any taxes due in connection with the vesting of any Restricted Stock Unit granted hereunder. 6. Nontransferability of Restricted Stock Units. The Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder may not be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned, encumbered or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution or, on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish, to a permitted transferee.

3 7. Beneficiary Designation. The Participant may from time to time name any beneficiary or beneficiaries (who may be named contingently or successively) by whom any right under the Plan and this Agreement is to be exercised in case of his or her death. Each designation will revoke all prior designations by the Participant, shall be in a form reasonably prescribed by the Administrator, and will be effective only when filed by the Participant in writing with the Administrator during his or her lifetime. 8. Adjustments. The Shares subject to the Restricted Stock Units may be adjusted in any manner as contemplated by Section 5 of the Plan. 9. Requirements of Law. The issuance of Shares following vesting of the Restricted Stock Units shall be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required. No Shares shall be issued upon vesting of any portion of the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder, if such issuance would result in a violation of applicable law, including the U.S. federal securities laws and any applicable state or foreign securities laws. 10. No Guarantee of Continued Service. Nothing in the Plan or in this Agreement shall interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company or an Affiliate thereof to terminate the Participant’s Service at any time or confer upon the Participant any right to continued Service. 11. No Rights as a Stockholder. Except as provided in Section 2 above or as otherwise required by law, the Participant shall not have any rights as a stockholder with respect to any Shares covered by the Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder prior to the date on which he or she is recorded as the holder of those Shares on the records of the Company. 12. Interpretation; Construction. Any determination or interpretation by the Administrator under or pursuant to this Agreement shall be final and conclusive on all persons affected hereby. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Plan, in the event of a conflict between any term of this Agreement and the terms of the Plan, the terms of the Plan shall control. 13. Miscellaneous.
