NEWS CORP 8-K

What Happened News Corporation (News Corp) filed a Form 8-K on July 2, 2026 to report other events relating to its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of Class A and Class B common stock and attached copies of the information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2. The filing notes that, under ASX rules, the Company provides daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program and included a standard forward‑looking statements disclaimer. 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 aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: daily disclosure of any transactions under the repurchase program; the 8-K attached those daily ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2).
• Filing date: July 2, 2026; signature by Michael L. Bunder.
• Filing includes forward‑looking statements about intent to repurchase and disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters This is a regulatory update confirming News Corp’s ongoing share buyback authority and its routine ASX reporting—useful for investors tracking share counts and buyback activity. A buyback program can reduce outstanding shares and potentially support earnings per share, but the filing does not commit to specific repurchase amounts, timing, or future market impact. The daily ASX disclosures provide transparent, near‑real‑time visibility into any repurchase transactions.
