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

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed a Form 8-K on September 1, 2026 announcing disclosures made under its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterates it is authorized to acquire up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock and has provided information to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) on the dates shown in the attached notices. The filing is signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, 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: the Company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions made under the repurchase program.
• Attachments: Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are the copies of the information provided to the ASX on the respective dates.
• Disclosure includes forward-looking statements about intent to repurchase; the company states these statements are subject to market conditions, securities laws and other risks and will not be updated except as required by law.

Why It Matters
A $1 billion buyback authorization signals the company has a program to repurchase shares, which can reduce shares outstanding and potentially support earnings per share and market price when repurchases occur. The daily ASX disclosures and attached notices provide transparency about activity under the program. Investors should note the filing does not change the authorized amount and that actual repurchases depend on market conditions, legal rules and management decisions.
