The Company is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. Copies of the ASX notices are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2. The filing was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the Company must disclose, on a daily basis, any transactions made under the Repurchase Programs to the ASX.
• Exhibits: Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are the ASX notices provided on the dates shown in those exhibits.

Why It Matters

• The filing confirms ongoing buyback authority and continued disclosure to the ASX, providing transparency about repurchase activity. For investors, repurchase programs can affect shares outstanding and per‑share metrics; this report does not announce new authorization or specific repurchase amounts/timing beyond the existing $1 billion program. The forward‑looking statement caution reminds investors that actual repurchases depend on market conditions, applicable laws and Company decisions.
