Item 8.01 Other Events.
On June 2, 2024, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Maplebear Inc. (the “Company”) approved a share repurchase program with authorization to purchase up to an aggregate of $500 million of the Company’s common stock (the “Share Repurchase Program”). At the time of the authorization, no capacity remained under the $1 billion share repurchase program previously authorized by the Board in November 2023 and February 2024, which program resulted in the repurchase of approximately 34 million shares. The Share Repurchase Program has no expiration date. Repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program may be made from time to time through open market repurchases or through privately negotiated transactions subject to market conditions, applicable legal requirements, and other relevant factors. Open market repurchases may be structured to occur in accordance with the requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The Company may also, from time to time, enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate repurchases of shares of common stock under this authorization. The Company is not obligated under the Share Repurchase Program to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and the Company may terminate or suspend the Share Repurchase Program at any time. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased may depend on a variety of factors, including price, general business and market conditions, and alternative investment opportunities.

Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements other than statements of historical fact could be deemed forward-looking, including without limitation statements regarding potential repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements because they contain words such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “contemplate,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “plan,” “potential,” “predict,” “project,” “should,” “target,” “toward,” “will,” or “would,” or the negative of these words or other similar terms or expressions. These forward-looking statements are subject to known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors that may cause actual results or outcomes to be materially different from any future results or outcomes expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These risks, uncertainties, assumptions, and other factors include, but are not limited to, those related to our ability to achieve or maintain profitability and profitable growth; our ability to effectively manage the increasing scale, scope, and complexity of our business; our ability to operate our business and effectively manage our growth and margins under evolving and uncertain macroeconomic conditions; the impact of weather patterns; anticipated trends, growth rates, and challenges in our business, industry, and the markets in which we operate; our ability to attract and increase engagement of customers and shoppers; our ability to maintain and expand our relationships with retailers and advertisers; legal and governmental proceedings, new or changes to laws and regulations, and other regulatory matters and developments, particularly with respect to the classification of shoppers on our platform; competition in our markets; our ability to expand our offerings to existing or new customers, retailers, and advertisers and whether retailers and advertisers launch or utilize our offerings in the manner and timing that we expect; our ability to continue to grow across our current markets and expand into new markets; our estimated market opportunity; the occurrence of any security incidents or disruptions of service on our platform or technology offerings; our ability to develop new products, offerings, features, and use cases and bring them to market in a timely manner, and whether current and prospective customers, retailers, advertisers, and shoppers will adopt these new products, offerings, features, and use cases; our reliance on key personnel and our ability to attract, integrate, and retain management and skilled personnel; our ability to acquire and successfully integrate other businesses; or our partners’ technologies; and our reliance on third-party devices, operating systems, applications, and services that we do not control; as well as other risks described from time to time in our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024 filed with the SEC on May 10, 2024. You should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. We have based these forward-looking statements primarily on information available to us as of the date of this Current Report on Form 8-K and our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our business, financial condition, and results of operations. While we believe such information provides a reasonable basis for these statements, such information may be limited or incomplete. Our statements should not be read to indicate that we have conducted an exhaustive inquiry into, or review of, all relevant information. These statements are inherently uncertain, and investors are cautioned not to unduly rely on these statements. Moreover, we operate in a very competitive and rapidly changing environment, and new risks may emerge from time to time. It is not possible for us to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation, and do not intend, to update these forward-looking statements.
