Skillsoft (SKIL) Director Arthur W. Gilliland Receives RSU Award
What Happened
Arthur W. Gilliland, a director of Skillsoft Corp. (SKIL), received two restricted stock unit (RSU) awards on March 25, 2026 totaling 31,250 RSUs (25,000 RSUs and 6,250 RSUs). These are derivative awards granted at $0.00 per share (no cash paid).

This is a compensation award (routine), not an open-market purchase or sale.

Context
RSU grants are common executive/director compensation and do not reflect an immediate cash purchase or sale of stock. Because these are time- and service‑based awards, they are generally considered compensation rather than a direct signal of the insider’s market view. The economic benefit (and any tax obligation) for the reporting person will materialize only as RSUs vest and convert into actual shares.
