NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation filed an 8-K on March 2, 2026, announcing disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding the company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock from time to time. The filing includes copies of the information provided to the ASX (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) and notes that those communications contain forward‑looking statements.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Filing date: March 2, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary.
• ASX requirement: Company must disclose repurchase transactions to the ASX on a daily basis, and the company also reports repurchase activity in its quarterly and annual SEC reports.
• Forward‑looking statements in the ASX notices reflect management’s intent to repurchase shares but are subject to market conditions, applicable laws and other risks; the company disclaims any obligation to update these statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• The repurchase program is material because share buybacks can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support shareholder value, subject to execution. The ASX daily disclosures provide transparency about any repurchase activity. Investors should note this filing does not announce new authorization or specific repurchase transactions—only the routine ASX disclosures and related forward‑looking statements.
