On April 21, 2026, Adobe announced that our Board of Directors approved a new stock repurchase program granting Adobe authority to repurchase up to $25 billion in common stock through April 30, 2030. A copy of the press release is furnished and attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. Under our new stock repurchase program, which is designed to return value to our stockholders, minimize dilution from stock issuances and reduce share count over time, we may repurchase shares in the open market and also enter into structured repurchase agreements with third parties. The new stock repurchase program approved by our Board of Directors is substantially similar to our previous stock repurchase programs. The actual timing, number and value of shares repurchased under the new authorization will be determined by Adobe in its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, applicable legal requirements, Adobe’s capital needs and whether there is a better alternative use of capital. Adobe has no obligation to repurchase any amount of its common stock under our new stock repurchase program. 3 Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits.   (d)     Exhibits ​  Exhibit Number Exhibit Description 10.1 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended 99.1 P ress release issued on April 21, 2026 entit led “ Adobe Announces New $25 Billion Stock Repurchase Program ” 104 Cover Page Interactive Data File (the instance document does not appear in the Interactive Data File because its XBRL tags are embedded within the Inline XBRL document) 4 SIGNATURES   Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.   ADOBE INC.  Date: April 21, 2026 By: /s/ LOUISE PENTLAND Louise Pentland Chief Legal Officer and Executive Vice President, Legal and Government Relations 5
