NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on January 28, 2026, reporting disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its existing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to acquire, from time to time, up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are the copies of the information provided to the ASX on the dates noted in those exhibits.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the Company must provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the Repurchase Program to the ASX.
• Disclosure documents: Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are the actual ASX notices referenced in the filing.
• Forward-looking note: statements about intent to repurchase are forward-looking and subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks; the Company disclaims any obligation to update them except as required.

Why It Matters

• The filing confirms News Corp is actively managing a sizable buyback authorization (up to $1B) and complying with ASX disclosure rules. For investors, buybacks can reduce share count and may support per-share metrics, but the Company did not announce a change in authorization or a specific new repurchase schedule—only that daily ASX disclosures were provided. The actual timing and amount of repurchases remain subject to market conditions and regulatory requirements as noted in the filing.
