Coursera (NYSE: COUR) adopted an immediately effective stockholder rights plan after a shareholder accumulated approximately 14.7% of its common stock. The board unanimously approved the plan, which expires November 7, 2027.
Coursera is issuing one right per outstanding common share, distributed November 19, 2026, to holders of record that day. The rights generally become exercisable when a person or group acquires beneficial ownership of 15% or more. Other rights holders could then buy common shares at a 50% discount to the current market price, or Coursera could exchange each right for one common share; the triggering holder’s rights would become void. The company intends the plan to protect long-term investment value and guard against control acquisitions without an appropriate premium for all stockholders.
