News Corp Announces Stock Repurchase Disclosures to ASX
What Happened
- News Corporation (News Corp) filed an 8-K on June 9, 2026, reporting disclosures related to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and provides transaction information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on a daily basis when repurchases occur.
- The filing attaches four items (Exhibits 99.1–99.4) containing the information provided to the ASX on the respective dates and includes the standard forward-looking statement caution. The report is signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
Key Details
- Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion in the aggregate.
- Stock classes covered: Class A common stock and Class B common stock.
- ASX requirement: Company must disclose repurchase transactions to the ASX daily (if any).
- Filing date and signature: 8-K filed June 9, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder.
Why It Matters
- Repurchase programs can reduce share count over time and can support the stock price or return capital to shareholders; this filing documents News Corp’s compliance with ASX disclosure rules for that program.
- The attachments give investors up-to-date transaction information (when trades occur) and the filing reiterates that any forward-looking statements are subject to change and not updated publicly except as required by law.
