NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on June 15, 2026 reporting disclosures provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) related to the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion of its Class A and Class B common stock and, under ASX rules, provides daily disclosure of any repurchase transactions. Copies of the information provided to the ASX are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to the filing. The report was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior Vice President, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Filing date: June 15, 2026; includes ASX disclosures provided on the dates shown in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
• ASX requirement: daily disclosure of any transactions made under the repurchase program.
• The ASX disclosures contain forward-looking statements; News Corp states it does not undertake an obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters This filing does not announce a new buyback authorization but provides the routine ASX disclosures tied to News Corp’s existing $1 billion repurchase program. For investors, ongoing repurchases can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share and market demand, while daily ASX disclosures improve transparency about actual repurchase activity. The filing also reiterates management’s caution that forward-looking statements are subject to market and regulatory risks.
