NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8‑K on March 27, 2026, disclosing information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its existing stock repurchase program. The Repurchase Program authorizes the company to buy up to $1.0 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The filing attaches the ASX disclosure materials as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and notes these materials include forward‑looking statements.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company provides daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Exhibits: copies of the information submitted to the ASX are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.
• Filing date and signature: Form 8‑K filed March 27, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters

• The filing reflects regulatory disclosure and transparency around News Corp’s ongoing buyback authority but does not announce a change in the authorization level or disclose specific purchase amounts in this 8‑K. For investors, the existence of an active $1 billion repurchase program is relevant because share repurchases can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share and share price over time. The filing’s forward‑looking statements are subject to market and regulatory risks and will not be updated except as required by law.
