NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8‑K on June 18, 2026, reporting disclosures it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) relating to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of Class A and Class B common stock in the aggregate and, under ASX rules, must provide daily disclosure of any transactions under the program. The materials provided to the ASX are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Filing date: June 18, 2026; exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 (information provided to the ASX on the referenced dates).
• Regulatory note: ASX requires daily disclosure of repurchase transactions; the company also reports repurchase activity in quarterly and annual SEC filings.
• The ASX disclosures include forward‑looking statements; News Corp says it has no obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters

• Share repurchase programs can reduce outstanding shares and potentially support the stock price or improve per‑share metrics; the $1B authorization sets the maximum scale of the program. Daily ASX disclosures improve transparency about buyback activity for investors tracking share repurchases. This 8‑K is a routine regulatory update and does not report earnings, management changes, or other operational results.
