The disclosures include forward-looking statements about the Company's intent to repurchase shares and a standard disclaimer about uncertainties and no obligation to update those statements.

Key Details

• Repurchase authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase programs.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the specific ASX disclosure documents attached to the 8-K.

Why It Matters
Stock repurchase programs can reduce outstanding shares if and when the company buys stock, which can affect per-share metrics (like earnings per share) and be a use of corporate cash. This filing does not announce completed buys or amounts traded; instead it documents regulatory disclosures to the ASX and reiterates management’s intent to repurchase shares subject to market conditions, legal rules and other factors. Retail investors should monitor the ASX daily notices and future SEC/quarterly filings for any actual repurchase activity or changes to the program.
