Stored market dataWhy It Matters

Udemy shareholders approved and closed a merger into Coursera; trading in UDMY ceased (last trade May 8) and suspension effective May 12. Each Udemy share converts into 0.8 shares of Coursera, meaning Udemy holders become Coursera shareholders and Coursera’s outstanding share count will rise materially.
