NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on March 24, 2026 reporting other events tied to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reminded investors that it is authorized to acquire up to $1 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provided copies of the information it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing also includes the company’s forward-looking statements disclaimer and was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Repurchase Program authorized amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX rule: News Corp must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Exhibits: Copies of the ASX disclosures are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to the 8-K.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed March 24, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder.

Why It Matters A $1 billion repurchase program can reduce outstanding share count and potentially support earnings per share and market price over time; the ASX daily reporting requirement gives investors timely transparency on any buybacks. The filing does not report specific repurchase amounts or changes to the program—only the disclosure submissions and the company’s forward‑looking statement caution—so investors should look for future daily ASX updates or SEC filings for transaction-level details.
