News Corp Announces ASX Disclosures for $1B Share Repurchase Program

What Happened
News Corporation (News Corp) filed an 8-K on September 11, 2026, disclosing information provided to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) regarding the company’s ongoing stock repurchase program. The company reiterated that it is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion of its outstanding Class A and Class B common stock and is providing ASX daily transaction disclosures as required.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1 billion in the aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: the company must provide daily disclosure to the ASX of any transactions under the repurchase program.
• Exhibits: copies of the information provided to the ASX are attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 to the 8-K.
• Filing date and signature: 8-K filed September 11, 2026; signed by Michael L. Bunder, SVP, Deputy General Counsel and Corporate Secretary.
• Forward-looking statements: the ASX disclosures include forward-looking statements about intent to repurchase; the company disclaims any obligation to update those statements except as required by law.

Why It Matters
Share repurchase programs are a direct capital-allocation tool. For investors, continued disclosure to the ASX increases transparency about when and how News Corp is buying back shares. The filing does not announce specific repurchase amounts or timing—only the company’s intent and the attached ASX notices—so investors should watch the daily ASX reports or future SEC/quarterly filings for actual transaction details.
