NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on April 1, 2026 (Item 8.01) to provide copies of information it delivered to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reaffirmed that it is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached the ASX notices as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing includes customary forward-looking statements and was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX reporting: under ASX rules the company provides daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Disclosures attached: copies of the information provided to the ASX are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the 8-K.
• Forward-looking statements: the notices include forward-looking language and the company disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters
A $1 billion repurchase program can affect share count and, if executed, may support the stock price and potentially increase earnings per share by reducing outstanding shares. The filing does not commit the company to buy a specific amount or on a set schedule; it primarily provides transparency by documenting the ASX notifications and the company's disclosure practices for investors.
