JBS N.V. agreed to acquire Flora Produtos de Higiene e Limpeza S.A., a Brazilian personal care and household products company, from its controlling shareholder J&F, in a transaction valued at US$542 million including assumed debt.

Coursera's board adopted a limited-duration stockholder rights plan, effective immediately, in response to a stockholder that its recent filings show owns about 14.7% of the common stock. The plan is designed to trigger if any person or group acquires 15% or more without board approval, which would dilute that holder's stake and could deter open-market accumulation.
- The board declared a dividend of one preferred share purchase right per common share, payable November 19, 2026 to holders of record on that date.
- Each right allows purchase of one one-thousandth of a preferred share for $19.50, becoming exercisable only after a person or group acquires 15% or more.
- The rights expire November 7, 2027, and the board may redeem them for $0.01 per right before any person becomes an acquiring person.
- The Certificate of Designations was filed with the Delaware Secretary of State on November 9, 2026.
