Item 8.01 Other Events.

On January 5, 2026, Okta, Inc. (“Okta”) announced that its board of directors approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to $1 billion of its Class A Common Stock, effective immediately (the “Share Repurchase Program”).

Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions, or otherwise, with the amount and timing of repurchases to be determined at Okta’s discretion, depending on market conditions and corporate needs. Open market repurchases will be structured to occur in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including within the pricing and volume requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Okta may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of its shares under this authorization. This program does not have a fixed expiration date, does not obligate Okta to acquire any particular amount of Class A Common Stock, and may be modified, suspended, or terminated at any time at the discretion of Okta’s board of directors.

A copy of the press release announcing the Share Repurchase Program is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
