NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8‑K on March 10, 2026 (Item 8.01) to disclose information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase, from time to time, up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The filing attaches Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 (copies of the information supplied to the ASX on the noted dates) and includes the Company’s forward‑looking statements disclaimer. The report was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company provides daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program; Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2 are those ASX notices.
• Ongoing reporting: Company also discloses repurchase program information in its quarterly and annual reports.
• Forward‑looking statements: Statements about intent to repurchase are based on current expectations, subject to market conditions and other risks; no obligation to update such statements.

Why It Matters
This filing is primarily regulatory disclosure about News Corp’s share buyback program and the Company’s compliance with ASX reporting rules. Buyback programs can affect share count and support per‑share metrics, but this filing does not commit News Corp to repurchase a specific amount or on specific dates. Retail investors should watch the company’s ASX notices and future quarterly reports for actual repurchase activity and amounts.
