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, Exhibit 99.2, Exhibit 99.3 and Exhibit 99.4 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
