Overview
Skillsoft Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001774675. It completed its initial public offering in Jun 2019, raising $678M in gross proceeds and listing on NYSE. Class A shares trade under the ticker SKIL on NYSE. The vehicle is sponsored by Churchill Capital through Churchill Sponsor II LLC. The mandate targets financial services. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.
“Our strategy is to: • leverage the strategic and transactional experience of our founder to bring advice and attention to potential business combination targets; • deliver creative approaches to transaction sourcing; and • utilize an understanding of global financial markets and events, financing, and overall corporate strategy options.”
Reading the filings
Arithmetic on what Skillsoft Corp. has disclosed, written the way a desk would read it. These are observations, not a rating. Nothing here scores the vehicle or implies a view on it.
Trust versus the $10 unit
The trust holds $10.00 per public share, effectively the $10.00 the units were sold at, so little or no interest has accrued to the account yet.
Warrant coverage
Each unit carried one-third warrant per unit. Warrants are dilution deferred: they cost the holder nothing until exercised, and they overhang the post-combination share count. Thinner coverage is generally a sign of a stronger book at pricing.
Sponsor record
Churchill Capital has launched 12 vehicles. Of the 8 that have resolved, 7 closed a combination and 1 liquidated, a 87.5% completion rate. A sponsor's record is not a forecast, but it does tell you whether the team has taken a deal across the line before.
Underwriting
Citigroup led the offering. It has been named on 170 SPAC IPOs, book-running 114 of them, and 53.6% of its resolved vehicles closed a deal. The syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target, but the quality of the book at pricing shapes who ends up holding the units.
Filings per month since the first one. A vehicle that has gone quiet with a deadline ahead is a different proposition from one that is still working.
557 filings in all. 15 in the last three months, against a busiest month of 36.

Skillsoft Corp.: questions answered
What is Skillsoft Corp. (SKIL)?
Skillsoft Corp. is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in Delaware and registered with the SEC under CIK 0001774675. It completed its initial public offering in Jun 2019, raising $678M in gross proceeds and listing on NYSE. Class A shares trade under the ticker SKIL on NYSE. The vehicle is sponsored by Churchill Capital through Churchill Sponsor II LLC. The mandate targets financial services. Business combination closed; the company trades under a new ticker.
How much does Skillsoft Corp. hold in trust?
Approximately $697,018,229, or about $10.00 per public share, as at the most recent filing on record. Trust balances move: shareholders redeem at extension votes and at the combination vote, and sponsors pay contributions in to extend. Treat the figure as a point-in-time disclosure, not a running balance.
When must Skillsoft Corp. complete a merger?
No combination deadline appears in the filings we have indexed. The date is stated in the charter and repeated in each quarterly report; where our parser could not establish it with confidence we leave it blank rather than infer one.
What happens if Skillsoft Corp. does not find a target in time?
The charter requires the vehicle to redeem 100% of the public shares and return the trust, pro rata, to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed rather than a default. Founder shares and warrants are worthless in that outcome, which is why the sponsor's incentive is to get a deal done or to buy more time. Across the market, deadline lapsed without a deal; trust returned to public shareholders.
Can I redeem shares in Skillsoft Corp., and at what price?
Public shareholders may elect to redeem in connection with a combination vote and at each extension vote, at the pro-rata trust value on the relevant record date, most recently disclosed at about $10.00 per share. Redemption is a right attached to the public shares only; warrants and rights carry no claim on the trust. The mechanics and the deadline for electing are set out in the proxy statement for the vote in question.
What tickers does Skillsoft Corp. trade under?
Class A shares trade as SKIL on NYSE. Units trade first and separate into their component securities roughly 52 days after the IPO; only the Class A shares carry the redemption right against the trust.
Is the trust value the same as the share price for Skillsoft Corp.?
No, and the gap between them is the whole trade. Trust per share is a disclosed, contractual figure of $10.00, being what a redeeming holder receives. The market price is whatever the shares change hands at: most recently $4.75, a spread to the redemption value. Quotes on this site are delayed and indicative; confirm on your own venue before trading.
How much dilution do Skillsoft Corp.'s founder shares and warrants create?
Each unit also carried one-third warrant per unit, which is dilution deferred until exercise. Both are disclosed in the prospectus and both survive into the combined company, which is why a de-SPAC at $10 is not economically the same as an IPO at $10.
Who sponsors Skillsoft Corp., and what is their track record?
Churchill Sponsor II LLC is the sponsor entity, part of the Churchill Capital franchise. That franchise has launched 12 vehicles in total, of which 7 closed a combination and 1 liquidated, a 87.5% completion rate on resolved vehicles. Named principals: Michael Klein.
Which banks underwrote the Skillsoft Corp. IPO?
Citigroup, B. Riley Securities. Citigroup was credited as book-running manager on the cover. Syndicate membership and role are read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section.
Is Skillsoft Corp. tradeable, and where?
Yes. SKIL returned a live quote of $4.75 on NYSE. Quotes here are delayed and refreshed on a schedule rather than streamed, so treat the figure as indicative and confirm on your own venue. Units and warrants trade under their own symbols and are quoted separately.
Is Skillsoft Corp. a good investment?
That is not a question this site answers. Skillsoft Corp. is covered here as reference data: what the company filed, when it filed it, and what the numbers in those filings say. The Edge, FOMO and Potential scores on this page are derived measures with a published formula, not ratings of investment merit: they describe the setup, and every component is shown so you can take them apart. We publish no price targets and no recommendations, and nothing here should be read as advice. The figures are a starting point for your own work, and each one carries the accession number of the filing it came from.
Where does this Skillsoft Corp. data come from?
Filings Skillsoft Corp. submitted to the SEC under CIK 0001774675: the registration statement and final prospectus for the structure, quarterly and annual reports for the trust, current reports and proxy statements for deals, votes and extensions. Trust economics are taken from the registrant's own XBRL tags rather than parsed from prose, which is why they are exact. Every filing in the history above is listed with its accession number, which identifies the document uniquely on EDGAR; Pro accounts open it directly from the row.
Compiled by the SPACListing research desk
Last reconciled Nov 1, 2026
Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally the IPO prospectus (Form 424B4), quarterly and annual reports, current reports and proxy statements, the registrant's own XBRL tags for trust economics. Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
