NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation filed an 8-K (Accession 0001564708-25-000609) reporting disclosures provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase programs. The filing (signed Dec. 24, 2025; filed Dec. 29, 2025) includes two attachments (Exhibit 99.1 and 99.2) containing the information furnished to the ASX on the noted dates.
• The Company reiterates 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 and that ASX rules require daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase programs.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate for Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory requirement: the ASX requires daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase programs.
• Exhibits filed: Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 contain the ASX disclosures (dates shown on each exhibit).
• Forward-looking note: statements about future repurchases are forward-looking, based on management’s expectations, and may change; the company disclaims any obligation to update them except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• For investors, the filing confirms News Corp has an active authorization to buy back up to $1 billion of its shares and is complying with ASX transparency rules by providing daily transaction disclosures. Share repurchase programs can reduce share count if executed and are a mechanism management may use to allocate capital.
• The filing does not announce specific repurchase transactions or schedules — it provides the routine ASX disclosures and reiterates that future repurchases depend on market conditions and other factors described in the company’s SEC filings.
