NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation filed an 8-K on January 5, 2026 to disclose information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase programs. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its outstanding Class A and Class B common stock. Attached to the filing are Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2, which contain the ASX disclosures (including any transactions reported on those dates). The filing includes standard forward-looking statement cautions and is signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase capacity: up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Scope: repurchases may be made "from time to time" under the Company’s repurchase programs.
• ASX requirement: the Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase programs; the filing includes the information provided on the dates noted in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
• Forward-looking: statements about intent to repurchase are forward-looking and subject to change; the Company disclaims an obligation to update them except as required by law.

Why It Matters Share repurchase programs can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share and market value when executed, so investors track them for capital allocation and share-price impact. This 8-K does not change the authorized repurchase amount but provides transparency by including the ASX disclosures and reiterates that any repurchases are subject to market conditions and other factors.
