NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (News Corp) filed an 8-K on March 31, 2026, reporting that it continues to operate its authorized stock repurchase program and has provided required daily disclosure to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) for any transactions under the program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached copies of the information it provided to the ASX (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2). The filing includes the company’s standard forward-looking statement disclosures and was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion in aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory requirement: News Corp must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any repurchases made under the program.
• Exhibits: Copies of the information provided to the ASX on the noted dates are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed March 31, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder.

Why It Matters
A company buyback program can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support per-share metrics and stock price, and daily ASX disclosures give investors transparent, near-real-time visibility into repurchase activity for News Corp’s ASX-listed securities. However, the filing stresses that repurchases are subject to market conditions, legal limits and other factors, and includes forward-looking disclaimers — meaning actual buyback amounts and timing can change. Investors should monitor the ASX disclosures and News Corp’s quarterly reports for specifics on repurchase execution and impact.
