News Corp Reports Routine ASX Updates on Existing $1 Billion Buyback Program

News Corp’s latest update covers its existing $1 billion share-buyback program, with no increase to the authorization. The notices don’t specify whether shares were purchased, so the scale of any recent repurchases remains unclear.

News Corp reported routine daily notices to the Australian Securities Exchange about its existing share-repurchase program. The program permits the company to buy back up to $1 billion of its Class A and Class B shares in total; this announcement does not change that authorization.

  • The company says it provides the ASX with daily information on repurchase activity, if any, and also reports on the program in its quarterly and annual reports.
  • The attached notices contain the relevant daily information, but the transaction details—including any shares purchased, prices paid and dates—are not included in the material provided here.
  • News Corp says its intention to make future repurchases may change with its share price, market conditions, securities-law requirements and other investment opportunities.

What it means: This is an update on the existing buyback, not a new capital-allocation plan or an increase in the program’s $1 billion limit. The announcement alone does not establish whether shares were bought back on the dates covered by the attached notices.
