Item 3.02 Unregistered Sale of Equity Securities
As previously reported on the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed on December 18, 2023 and January 31, 2024, on December 18, 2023, Coupang, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain funds managed and/or advised by Greenoaks Capital Partners, LLC (“Greenoaks”) established a limited partnership named Surpique LP (f/k/a Athena Topco LP), a Delaware limited partnership (“Surpique LP”), for the purpose of acquiring all of the business and assets of Farfetch Holdings plc, a public limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales, and, following the closing of the transactions described therein, the Company held an 80.1% equity interest and Greenoaks held a 19.9% equity interest in Surpique LP.
On April 7, 2025, the Company entered into a Master Transaction Agreement (the “Agreement”), by and among Greenoaks Capital Opportunities Fund V LP, a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership and a fund managed by Greenoaks, the Company, Surpique GP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, Surpique LP, Surpique Holdings Limited, a private limited company incorporated under the laws of England and Wales, and Surpique Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, pursuant to which, among other things, the parties completed certain reorganization and acquisition steps resulting in the indirect acquisition by the Company of Surpique LP’s limited partner units representing all of Greenoaks’ equity interest in Surpique LP, and all rights and obligations associated with such limited partner units. In consideration of the foregoing, concurrently with the execution of the Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated thereby, the Company has paid to Greenoaks an aggregate purchase price of $140,096,101, consisting of a $14,096,101 cash payment and the issuance to Greenoaks of 5,465,099 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), at a price per share equal to the volume weighted average price of Class A Common Stock for the 30-trading day period ending as of the close of markets on April 4, 2025. None of the shares of Class A Common Stock issued in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement will be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, amended (the “Securities Act”), at the time of such issuance, in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act.

In addition, Greenoaks and certain funds and accounts to which Greenoaks serves as the investment adviser and related persons or entities, including Mr. Mehta, collectively own approximately 3.2% of the Company’s Class A Common Stock.
