NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on June 16, 2026, reporting disclosures related to its previously announced 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 provided information it submitted to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX). Copies of the ASX disclosures are attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

• Repurchase program authorization: up to $1.0 billion aggregate for Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory disclosure: ASX rules require daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program; News Corp provided such information on the dates shown in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
• Filing date and signer: Form 8-K filed June 16, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• Forward-looking statements: The ASX information contains forward-looking statements about intended repurchases and includes standard cautionary language and no obligation to update.

Why It Matters Buyback programs can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support per-share metrics and share price; regular ASX disclosures increase transparency about any repurchase activity. This filing does not announce a new authorization or specific repurchases amount on a given date beyond the program limit—rather, it provides the routine regulatory disclosures and accompanying forward-looking cautionary language for investors.
