Udemy, Inc. filings document the company’s transition from a Nasdaq-listed online learning platform to a wholly owned subsidiary of Coursera after the completed merger. The record includes Form 8-K disclosure of the merger closing, termination of a secured revolving credit facility, and related capital-structure changes, as well as a Form 25 notification covering removal of Udemy common stock from Nasdaq listing and Section 12(b) registration.
Earlier filings cover operating and financial results, material agreements, shareholder voting matters, governance, risk factors, and capital-structure disclosures for Udemy’s enterprise and consumer learning businesses.
Coursera and Udemy are moving forward with a proposed merger they say will reshape their online learning businesses. Leadership describes the deal as combining two complementary platforms to invest, innovate, and execute at greater scale. Pro forma revenue is expected to be roughly $1.5 billion, with the combined company about half consumer and half enterprise.
Coursera ended the year with about $793 million of unrestricted cash and no debt, and is planning a sizable share repurchase program after the Udemy transaction closes. Management expects annual run-rate cost synergies of $115 million within 24 months of closing, with most achieved in the first year, mainly from go-to-market and G&A efficiencies. The companies are progressing through regulatory and shareholder approvals, with timing guided to the second half of the year but with a wide potential range.
Udemy, Inc. filed a current report to note that it has released its financial results for the three- and twelve-month periods ended December 31, 2025. The company furnished a press release as an exhibit, making the detailed quarterly and full-year figures available outside this report. The information is furnished rather than filed, which limits how it is incorporated into other securities law documents.
Udemy shares an update with its instructor community about the planned combination with Coursera, emphasizing that the Udemy brand will continue and is not being retired. The message stresses that Udemy’s open marketplace of expert-led courses remains a foundational part of the future combined company, describing it as a highly effective model for creating relevant, high-quality content from practitioners worldwide.
The communication frames the transaction as part of a broader vision to build a comprehensive learning ecosystem that connects university faculty, industry partners, and practitioner-instructors to serve different learner needs. Udemy notes that integration planning has begun, but actual integration will not start until the transaction closes, and that until then it is business as usual and Udemy continues to operate as a separate company. The company also highlights legal limits on what can be shared before closing but reiterates that both the Udemy brand and open marketplace are critical to the future combined organization.
Udemy, Inc. Chief Financial Officer Sarah Blanchard reported an automatic share withholding related to equity compensation.

Both companies highlight the role of AI in reshaping the skills economy and position the transaction as a way to accelerate innovation and expand global reach.

Udemy, Inc. has agreed to be acquired by Coursera, Inc. in an all-stock merger. Each share of Udemy common stock will be converted into the right to receive 0.800 shares of Coursera common stock, with cash paid instead of any fractional Coursera shares. Udemy will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Coursera, and the companies intend for the transaction to qualify as a tax-free reorganization under U.S. tax law.
Udemy equity awards will roll into Coursera equity, largely preserving existing vesting terms, while certain director awards vest at closing. After closing, Coursera’s board will have nine members, including three Udemy directors. The deal is subject to shareholder approvals at both companies, NYSE listing of new Coursera shares, effectiveness of a Form S‑4 registration statement, and antitrust and other regulatory clearances. Either side may owe a $40.5 million termination fee in specified break scenarios, and an $8.0 million expense reimbursement applies if required shareholder approvals are not obtained. Voting agreements cover roughly 12% of Coursera shares and 26% of Udemy shares in support of the transaction.
