NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on April 9, 2026, reporting other events related to its authorized stock repurchase program.
• The Company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 the information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on the dates noted in those exhibits.
• The filing includes standard forward-looking statement language and was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion (aggregate) of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program; the filing attaches the information supplied to the ASX (Exs. 99.1, 99.2).
• Filing date: April 9, 2026; includes customary forward-looking statement disclaimers and no obligation to update those statements except as required by law.
• The 8-K does not itself state specific share purchases or amounts repurchased on any given date.

Why It Matters

• The filing formalizes the Company’s transparency to the ASX about buyback activity and provides the documents investors can review to see any disclosed repurchase transactions.
• A repurchase program of this size is a material capital allocation tool; investors should watch the ASX daily disclosures and future SEC filings for any concrete repurchase activity or changes to the program.
