NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8‑K on June 29, 2026, reporting information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) concerning the Company's ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to buy up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock and attached the ASX disclosures as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2. The filing also includes customary forward‑looking statement disclaimers.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Disclosures attached: Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 contain the information provided to the ASX on the respective dates.
• Filing date and signature: 8‑K dated June 29, 2026, signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters The filing confirms News Corp’s active repurchase program and the company’s ongoing disclosure of any repurchase activity to the ASX and in periodic SEC reports. For investors, the program means the company has authority to buy shares (up to $1B), which—if executed—would reduce shares outstanding; however, the filing includes forward‑looking disclaimers and does not commit to specific repurchase timing or amounts. The daily ASX reporting increases transparency about any repurchase transactions.
