News Corporation Files ASX Disclosures for $1B Share Repurchase Program

What Happened

  • News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8‑K on June 22, 2026 to provide copies of information it supplied to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to buy up to $1 billion in aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock "from time to time."
  • The filing attaches Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2, which are the specific ASX disclosures provided on the dates noted in those exhibits, and reiterates that the program is disclosed in the Company’s quarterly and annual reports.

Key Details

  • Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion (aggregate) of Class A and Class B common stock.
  • ASX requirement: daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
  • Exhibits: 99.1 and 99.2 are copies of the information provided to the ASX; 104 is the Inline XBRL cover page.
  • Filing date and signature: 8‑K dated June 22, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters

  • The company retains authority to buy up to $1 billion of its stock, which can reduce shares outstanding if repurchases occur and affect metrics such as earnings per share.
  • The ASX daily-disclosure requirement and the attached exhibits increase transparency about any repurchase activity for investors and regulators.
  • The filing includes standard forward‑looking statements and a disclaimer that the company does not undertake to update those statements except as required by law.
