NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on May 22, 2026 to report information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about transactions under its existing stock repurchase program. The Company reiterated that it is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provided copies of the ASX disclosures as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory disclosure: Under ASX rules, News Corp must provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program; the 8-K attaches the ASX communications.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed May 22, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder (Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary).
• Forward-looking statements: The ASX information contains forward-looking statements about future repurchases and the company disclaims any obligation to update them except as required by law.

Why It Matters
Routine disclosures like this inform investors about the company’s ongoing capital-allocation activity. A repurchase program of this size can, if executed, reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share; the 8-K itself does not announce new authorization or specific repurchase trades beyond the attached ASX notices. Retail investors should watch subsequent ASX daily disclosures and News Corp filings for details on actual repurchase volumes and timing.
