NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on May 26, 2026 reporting Other Events related to its stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provided copies of the information it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 are the ASX disclosures for the dates noted in those exhibits. The filing includes the company’s forward‑looking statements disclaimer.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory disclosure: under ASX rules, the company provides daily disclosure of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Filing date: May 26, 2026; attached Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the specific ASX submissions.
• The filing reiterates forward‑looking statement cautions and that the company does not undertake to update such statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• A $1 billion buyback authorization gives News Corp the ability to repurchase shares, which can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support per‑share metrics over time.
• This 8-K is informational — it confirms the program and the company’s ASX disclosure process but does not announce a new, specific repurchase commitment or amount purchased on any given day. Investors should monitor future ASX disclosures and company filings for actual repurchase activity.
