Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported, under News Corporation's (the "Company's") stock
repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), the Company is authorized to
acquire from time to time up to $1 billion in the aggregate of the Company's
outstanding shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock. Under the
rules of the Australian Securities Exchange (the "ASX"), the Company is required
to provide to the ASX, on a daily basis, disclosure of transactions pursuant to
the Repurchase Program, if any. The Company also discloses information
concerning the Repurchase Program in the Company's quarterly and annual reports.
Attached as Exhibit 99.1 and Exhibit 99.2 are copies of the information provided
to the ASX on the respective dates noted therein. Such information contains
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include, but are
not limited to, statements regarding the Company's intent to repurchase, from
time to time, the Company's Class A common stock and Class B common stock. These
statements are based on management's current expectations and beliefs and are
subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary
materially from those expressed or implied by such statements due to, among
other factors, changes in the market price of the Company's stock, general
market conditions, applicable securities laws and alternative investment
opportunities, as well as the risks, uncertainties and other factors described
in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The
"forward-looking statements" included in such information are made only as of
the date of this report. We do not have and do not undertake any obligation to
publicly update any "forward-looking statements" to reflect subsequent events or
circumstances, and we expressly disclaim any such obligation, except as required
by law or regulation.
