An announcement from News Corporation Shs B Chess Depository Interests repr 1 Sh ( (AU:NWS) ) is now available.

News Corporation has disclosed details of an ongoing share repurchase program covering its Nasdaq‑listed Class A and Class B common stock, under which the board previously authorised up to US$1 billion of buy-backs in 2021 and added a further US$1 billion authorisation in July 2025. The company, which had 371,106,271 Class A shares on issue at the time of the notice, plans to execute these buy-backs from time to time in the open market or otherwise, subject to market conditions and other factors, but confirmed that no ASX‑listed CDIs will be repurchased under these programs, a decision that concentrates capital management benefits on holders of U.S.-listed shares rather than Australian CDI investors.
