Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion (aggregate) of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory context: ASX requires the Company to disclose repurchase transactions to the ASX on a daily basis, if any occur.
• Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are the copies of the ASX disclosures provided on the respective dates.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed March 17, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder.

Why It Matters

• This filing confirms News Corp’s continued authorization and intent to repurchase shares under a $1 billion program and shows the company is making required public disclosures to the ASX.
• For investors, share repurchases can reduce share count and potentially support earnings per share, but this 8-K is administrative — it does not state specific repurchase amounts executed on particular dates beyond the attached ASX notices.
• The filing reiterates that any repurchase activity is subject to market conditions, applicable laws, and the Company’s discretion; forward‑looking statements are qualified and may change.
