Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On July 29, 2026, Coursera, Inc. (“Coursera,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) issued a press release and shareholder letter announcing its financial results for the quarter ended June 30, 2026. The press release and shareholder letter are furnished as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On July 28, 2026, Coursera issued a press release announcing its equity investment in LearnVector Inc. (“LearnVector”), pursuant to which Coursera entered into a Series A Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement and related ancillary agreements (collectively, the “Transaction Agreements”) with LearnVector. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreements, Coursera purchased shares of LearnVector’s Series A Preferred Stock for an aggregate purchase price of $100.0 million (the “Investment”), representing 33.33% of the ownership interest in LearnVector on a fully diluted basis as of the date of the Investment. The press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
LearnVector is an AI-native learning company founded by Andrew Ng, who also serves as Chairman of Coursera’s Board of Directors (the “Board”).
Because of the relationship between Mr. Ng and Coursera, in considering the Investment, the Board established a Special Committee comprised solely of directors that the Board determined to be independent and disinterested in the Investment (the “Special Committee”). The Board delegated to the Special Committee the power and authority to evaluate, negotiate, approve, or disapprove, the Investment and the Transaction Agreements. The Special Committee unanimously approved the Investment and authorized and directed Coursera to execute and deliver the Transaction Agreements.
The closing of the Investment occurred simultaneously with the parties’ entry into the Transaction Agreements. The Transaction Agreements contain customary representations and warranties from both Coursera and LearnVector, as well as customary covenants by the parties, including certain information, registration, notice, and pro rata rights in favor of Coursera. In addition, the Transaction Agreements provide that the parties will from time to time negotiate in good faith regarding potential commercial collaboration and/or commercial agreements that may be mutually beneficial to the parties.
The information under Items 2.02 and 8.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 hereto, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liability of that section or Sections 11 and 12(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The information contained herein and in Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3 shall not be incorporated by reference into any registration statement or other document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
