NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on December 29, 2025, disclosing information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about the Company's ongoing stock repurchase programs.
• The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and is providing ASX disclosures on a daily basis as required by ASX rules. The filing includes exhibits with the specific ASX disclosures provided on the listed dates.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion in aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory requirement: daily disclosure to the ASX for any transactions made under the repurchase programs.
• Filing date and signer: Form 8-K filed December 29, 2025; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• Exhibits: information provided to the ASX is attached as Exhibits 99.1–99.4; these include forward-looking statements and related cautionary language.

Why It Matters

• The filing confirms News Corp is maintaining an active share repurchase program and is complying with ASX disclosure rules, increasing transparency about any buybacks.
• Buybacks reduce shares outstanding when executed, which can affect per-share metrics (e.g., EPS) and shareholder ownership percentages; however, the filing does not commit to repurchasing a specific amount or schedule.
• Investors should note the forward-looking statements and that actual repurchase activity depends on market conditions, legal requirements and management decisions; daily ASX notices allow investors to track repurchase activity as it occurs.
