Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
On May 15, 2026, the board of directors of Coursera, Inc. (the “Company”) approved a stock repurchase program (the “Repurchase Program”), pursuant to which the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 million of its outstanding common stock, $0.00001 par value per share (the “common stock”), through open market purchases, including through the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, in accordance with applicable securities laws and other restrictions. The number of shares to be repurchased and the timing of the repurchases, if any, will depend on several factors, including, without limitation, business, economic, and market conditions, corporate, legal, and regulatory requirements, prevailing stock prices, trading volume, and other considerations. The Repurchase Program has no expiration date and will continue until otherwise suspended, modified or discontinued, and does not obligate the Company to acquire any amount of its common stock. The Company expects to utilize its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund repurchases under the Repurchase Program. On May 18, 2026, the Company issued a press release announcing the Repurchase Program. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
The information under Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1 hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Exchange Act or otherwise subject to the liability of that section, and shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
