What Happened

• News Corporation filed an 8-K on July 9, 2026, reporting disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) under its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provides ASX with daily transaction disclosures, when applicable. Copies of the information provided to the ASX are included as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the filing.
• The filing reiterates forward-looking language about the company’s intent to repurchase shares from time to time and notes those statements are subject to market conditions and other risks; the company does not undertake to update those statements except as required by law.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• Regulatory requirement: Daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the Repurchase Program.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed July 9, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, SVP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.

Why It Matters

• Share buybacks can reduce outstanding shares and potentially boost earnings per share (EPS) and shareholder value if the company repurchases stock. This filing does not announce a new authorization but confirms ongoing reporting and the company’s authority to repurchase up to $1 billion.
• The daily ASX disclosures increase transparency about any repurchase activity; investors should watch those ASX reports and News Corp’s quarterly/annual filings for actual buyback amounts and timing. The company’s forward-looking statements warn repurchases depend on market conditions and other risks.
