News Corp Files 8-K on Ongoing $1B Share Repurchase Program Disclosures

What Happened

• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on August 27, 2026 to provide information the company supplied to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) about its ongoing stock repurchase program. The Company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion in the aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock. The filing attaches the ASX disclosures provided on the dates shown in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and reiterates customary forward-looking statement cautions.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase program size: up to $1.0 billion (aggregate for Class A and Class B shares).
• Filings: Information supplied to the ASX is attached as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 to the 8-K.
• Form filed: Current Report on Form 8-K, filed August 27, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder (SVP, Deputy General Counsel & Corporate Secretary).
• Note: The disclosure reiterates that repurchases are “from time to time” and that forward‑looking statements are subject to market and regulatory risks.

Why It Matters

• Share repurchase programs can support shareholder value by reducing shares outstanding or signaling management’s view of the stock. This 8-K does not announce a change to the $1 billion authorization or specific new repurchase amounts; it provides the routine ASX disclosures required under exchange rules. Investors seeking concrete buyback activity should review the attached ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1/99.2) and monitor ongoing ASX daily disclosures for actual repurchase transactions.
