Coupang, Inc. 8-K/A

What Happened
Coupang, Inc. filed a Form 8‑K (Item 5.02) reporting that director Kevin M. Warsh resigned from the Board effective May 13, 2026 after the U.S. Senate confirmed his appointment as Chair of the Board of Governors of the U.S. Federal Reserve. Mr. Warsh had been nominated by President Trump (announced January 30, 2026) and informed Coupang on February 3, 2026 that he would resign if confirmed. The resignation was required under U.S. federal ethics and conflict-of-interest rules and was not the result of any disagreement with the Company.

Key Details

• Filing: Form 8‑K (Item 5.02) filed May 14, 2026.
• Resignation effective date: May 13, 2026 (following U.S. Senate confirmation).
• Mr. Warsh will not stand for re‑election at the upcoming annual meeting and any votes cast for him will not be counted.
• The Board will reduce its size by one director following his departure.
• Report signed by Harold L. Rogers, General Counsel and Chief Administrative Officer.

Why It Matters
A director resignation reduces Coupang’s board size and removes an experienced member (Kevin M. Warsh) who was serving on the Board. For investors, this is a governance change to note—especially ahead of the company’s annual meeting—though the filing states the resignation was for public service and not due to any dispute with the company. Management did not announce any immediate replacement in this filing.
