Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.

Why It Matters The filing confirms News Corporation’s authority and ongoing process for share buybacks and its compliance with ASX disclosure rules. For investors, the material facts are the $1 billion authorization and that repurchase activity is reported daily to the ASX and in periodic SEC reports. The company cautions that actual repurchases depend on market price, conditions, legal requirements and other factors, and that forward‑looking statements are subject to change. Investors who track buyback activity should review the ASX disclosures and the company’s quarterly/annual reports for actual repurchase amounts and timing.
