Coursera, Inc. Reports Early HSR Act Termination for Udemy Merger
Summary
Coursera, Inc. and Udemy, Inc. announced the early termination of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 ("HSR Act") waiting period for their previously disclosed all-stock merger. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") granted this early termination effective February 9, 2026, at 4:29 p.m. (Eastern Time). This follows the submission of Premerger Notification and Report Forms on January 9, 2026. The merger, initially agreed upon December 17, 2025, remains subject to other customary closing conditions, including additional regulatory and stockholder approvals.
Why It Matters
The early termination of the HSR Act waiting period by the FTC is a significant step towards completing the all-stock merger between Coursera and Udemy. This removes a key regulatory hurdle, signaling progress and reducing uncertainty for investors regarding the transaction's timeline and likelihood of closing.
