• News Corporation (NWSA) filed an 8-K on September 25, 2026, reporting disclosures made to the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) in connection with its stock repurchase program. The company is authorized to buy up to $1.0 billion aggregate of its Class A and Class B common stock and provides ASX with daily transaction disclosures, when applicable. The filing includes copies of the information provided to the ASX as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and was signed by Michael L. Bunder, Senior VP & Corporate Secretary.

Key Details

• Authorized repurchase amount: up to $1.0 billion aggregate of Class A and Class B common stock.
• ASX requirement: daily disclosure of any transactions made under the repurchase program.
• Filing date: September 25, 2026; Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 contain the specific ASX notices.
• The disclosures include forward-looking statements about the company’s intent to repurchase shares and note that actual repurchases depend on market and legal conditions.

Why It Matters

• Share repurchase programs can support the stock price and return capital to shareholders; this filing confirms News Corp’s ongoing authority and its compliance with ASX disclosure rules.
• The filing is informational rather than a commitment to a specific purchase amount or schedule—actual repurchases depend on market conditions and legal constraints, and forward-looking statements are subject to change.
