News Corp Files 8-K: Stock Repurchase (Buyback) Disclosures to ASX

What Happened
News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K (Item 8.01) on September 2, 2026 to report information it provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding its ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reaffirmed the Repurchase Program authorizes up to $1 billion to buy back Class A and Class B common stock and attached the ASX disclosure documents as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.

Key Details

• Repurchase Program authorization: up to $1 billion aggregate to acquire Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company provides daily disclosure of any transactions under the Repurchase Program; the 8-K includes the information provided on the dates shown in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2.
• Filing date/signature: Form 8-K filed September 2, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• Forward-looking statements: the ASX disclosures include forward-looking statements about intent to repurchase; the company disclaims obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters
This filing confirms News Corp’s continued buyback authority and its compliance with ASX reporting rules. For investors, buyback programs can affect share supply and potentially support the stock price, but this 8-K does not disclose amounts actually repurchased on specific days—only that related ASX disclosures were filed. Investors should review the attached ASX notices (Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2) and the company’s periodic reports for details on actual repurchase activity.
