Stock History

Instructure's stock history reflects a pattern of public listings interspersed with private equity takeovers, beginning with its initial privatization in 2020. Prior to that, the company had been publicly traded on the (NYSE) since its original IPO in 2013. In December 2019, announced its intent to acquire Instructure, initially offering $47.60 per share, which represented an 18% premium to the unaffected closing price at the time. Following shareholder pushback and a failed initial vote, raised its offer to $49 per share in February 2020, valuing the equity at approximately $2 billion. The deal closed in March 2020, with the tender offer completed and remaining shares converted in a merger, leading to delisting from the NYSE in December 2020. In July 2021, under Thoma Bravo's ownership, Instructure returned to public markets through a second IPO on the NYSE under the "INST." The company priced 12.5 million shares at $20 per , raising $250 million in gross proceeds before underwriting discounts. The shares began trading on July 22, 2021. Post-IPO, the stock experienced initial gains, reaching a high closing of $25.22 in October 2021 amid optimism in the edtech sector. However, broader market conditions, including economic pressures and sector-specific challenges, led to volatility; the stock dipped to a low of $16.06 in May 2022 before recovering to a peak of $28.35 in July 2023. By late 2023, shares were trading around $24, reflecting a general decline from earlier highs. In July 2024, Instructure announced its second privatization, agreeing to be acquired by investment funds managed by KKR, with participation from Dragoneer Investment Group, for $23.60 per share in an all-cash deal valued at approximately $4.8 billion including debt. This price represented a 16% premium over the unaffected closing price of $20.27 on May 17, 2024, the last trading day before acquisition rumors emerged. , which held about 84% of the shares, sold its majority stake in the transaction. The deal received shareholder approval and closed on November 13, 2024, delisting Instructure from the NYSE once again. As of 2025, the company remains privately held, supported by KKR and Dragoneer to drive long-term growth in its learning ecosystem without the pressures of public markets.

Data Privacy Concerns

In March 2025, a titled Hernandez-Silva et al. v. Instructure, Inc. was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of (Case No. 2:25-cv-02711), alleging that Instructure illegally collected, shared, and monetized from millions of K-12 students through its without . The complaint claimed violations of the (COPPA) and various state privacy laws, asserting that Instructure used student information for commercial purposes, including and sales to third parties. The case was dismissed on August 14, 2025, with individual claims dismissed with prejudice and class claims without prejudice, due to the plaintiffs' failure to provide sufficient specificity in their allegations. Earlier data privacy concerns emerged in 2020 amid Instructure's acquisition by private equity firm for approximately $2 billion, raising worries among students and educators about potential changes to data protection contracts and the handling of sensitive educational information. Stakeholders expressed fears over transparency in how student data would be managed post-acquisition, particularly regarding compliance with regulations in higher education and K-12 settings. In 2021, the (EFF) criticized the reliability of proctoring tools integrated with platforms like , highlighting instances where log data from these systems led to unfounded cheating accusations and invasive of students during remote exams. The EFF argued that such tools often produced false positives and lacked protections, exacerbating risks in . In response to these issues, Instructure has maintained commitments to compliance with the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), emphasizing transparent data practices and role-based access controls to prevent unauthorized viewing of student information. Company officials stated during the 2020 acquisition process that no alterations would be made to existing data protection contracts, ensuring continuity in privacy safeguards. In 2025, as part of its global partnership with to integrate AI features into , Instructure introduced specific AI privacy guidelines, prioritizing educational integrity and data protection by limiting AI processing to anonymized or user-controlled inputs. These guidelines include an Privacy Notice outlining how AI tools handle in compliance with applicable laws. These privacy concerns underscore broader risks in the edtech sector, particularly for Instructure's platform, which serves millions of K-12 users and handles vast amounts of sensitive student data across U.S. schools. The 2025 lawsuit and prior criticisms highlight ongoing challenges in balancing with robust data protections, prompting increased scrutiny of how edtech companies like Instructure manage biometric, behavioral, and academic information to avoid violations of federal and state privacy standards.

Other Litigation

In 2021, Instructure initiated a lawsuit against Canvas Technologies, Inc., a diversity-focused job platform, claiming that the defendant's use of the "Canvas" name and domain (canvas.com) violated Instructure's federally registered trademarks for its . The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of (Case No. 2:21-cv-00454), argued that the branding caused consumer confusion and diluted Instructure's established mark in the education technology sector. In January 2022, the granted Instructure's motion for a preliminary , ordering Canvas Technologies to immediately cease using the "" mark, rebrand its services, and transfer the canvas.com domain to Instructure to prevent ongoing harm. Canvas Technologies was found in later that year for non-compliance with the , leading to additional sanctions. The parties reached a settlement in May 2022, under which Canvas Technologies (by then rebranded as part of Untapped Group) agreed to the domain transfer and permanent cessation of the infringing use, resolving the dispute without further litigation. This case highlighted Instructure's efforts to protect its core branding amid the growth of edtech competitors. Beyond this matter, Instructure's litigation history remains limited, with no major public contractual or operational disputes reported as of 2025. The company's standard user agreements and service contracts frequently incorporate mandatory binding clauses, administered by bodies such as the , to facilitate private resolution of potential conflicts and reduce exposure to court proceedings.
