In connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 17, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Issuer, Coursera, Inc. ("Coursera"), and Chess Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Coursera ("Merger Sub"), Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer (the "Merger"), with the Issuer continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Coursera.

Consequently, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the PSU award was subject only to time-based vesting conditions. At the Effective Time, each share of common stock of the Issuer ("Udemy Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than certain excluded shares) was converted into the right to receive 0.800 shares of common stock of Coursera ("Coursera Common Stock") and each restricted stock unit award that was not subject to performance-based vesting conditions and was not granted in respect of services as a non-employee director of Udemy (each, a "Udemy RSU Award") was assumed by Coursera and converted into a restricted stock unit award covering a number of shares of Coursera Common Stock equal to the product of (1) the number of shares of Udemy Common Stock that were subject to the Udemy RSU Award as of immediately prior to the Effective Time, multiplied by (2) 0.800 (rounded to the nearest whole number).

performance-based restricted stock unit financial
"Represents shares of common stock under a performance-based restricted stock unit ("PSU") award granted effective August 15, 2025."
A performance-based restricted stock unit is a promise of company shares given to an employee that only becomes actual stock if specific performance targets are met and any required time at the company is completed. For investors, these awards matter because they can dilute existing shares when earned and signal management’s confidence or the company’s expected future performance, much like a bonus cheque that only clears when pre-set goals are reached.
Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"In connection with that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 17, 2025 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among the Issuer, Coursera, Inc."
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
change of control financial
"Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), a change of control was deemed to occur with respect to the PSU award"
A change of control occurs when the ownership or management of a company shifts significantly, such as through a sale, merger, or acquisition, resulting in new leadership or ownership structure. This change can impact the company's direction and decision-making, which is important for investors because it may affect the company's stability, strategy, and future prospects.
Effective Time regulatory
"Immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"), a change of control was deemed to occur"
restricted stock unit award financial
"each restricted stock unit award that was not subject to performance-based vesting conditions and was not granted in respect of services as a non-employee director of Udemy"
A restricted stock unit award is a promise by a company to give an employee a specified number of company shares at a future date if certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company or hitting performance goals. For investors, these awards matter because they can increase the total number of shares outstanding when converted, diluting existing holders, and they align employees’ incentives with shareholders’ interests much like giving a rising bonus that becomes real only after conditions are satisfied.
