NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on March 12, 2026 to provide information about disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its existing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to acquire, from time to time, up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are copies of the information given to the ASX on the dates noted in those exhibits. The filing also includes the company’s forward-looking statement disclosures and customary disclaimer about updates.

Key Details

• Repurchase authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the copies of the ASX notifications referenced in the filing.
• Form signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary, dated March 12, 2026.

Why It Matters

• This filing increases transparency about News Corp’s ongoing share buyback program and confirms the company’s compliance with ASX daily-disclosure rules. For investors, the important takeaway is that the repurchase program remains authorized up to $1 billion and that daily ASX notices (plus quarterly/annual reports) are the sources to monitor for actual repurchase activity and timing. The filing does not itself announce a specific purchase amount or schedule—investors should review the attached ASX notices and future disclosures for transaction-level details.
