01—Abstract

Summary

Summary of the 8-K filed June 11, 2026. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.

Coupang, Inc. announced on June 11, 2026, via an 8-K filing, that its Korean subsidiary, Coupang Corp., has been assessed administrative fines totaling approximately $410 milliona by the Korean Personal Information Protection Commission (PIPC).

The fines are comprised of two parts: approximately $278 millionb related to a previously disclosed November 2025 data incident, and approximately $132 million for alleged violations of the Korean Personal Information Protection Act concerning the collection and storage of data for a third-party advertising program. The PIPC has also directed Coupang Corp. to implement specific corrective actions for both matters. The Company intends to vigorously contest these penalties through judicial review at the Seoul Administrative Court, as the PIPC's formal written decisions have not yet been received, and the final amounts, findings, and corrective measures may differ.

Coupang Corp. will recognize the estimated aggregate fine of $410 millionc as an operating expense within its second quarter 2026 results, which will not be tax-deductible. Investors should note that the final outcome of the judicial process is uncertain and could impact the company's financial performance.
