stock repurchase program financial
"under News Corporation's stock repurchase program (the "Repurchase Program"), the Company is authorized to acquire from time to time up to $1 billion"
A stock repurchase program is when a company buys back its own shares from the market. This can make each remaining share more valuable and shows that the company believes its stock is a good investment. It’s like a business treating its shares like a limited resource, hoping to boost confidence and share prices.
forward-looking statements regulatory
"Such information contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995."
Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.
on-market buy-back financial
"The type of buy-back is ... Employee share scheme buy-back On-market buy-back Equal access scheme buy-back"
Appendix 3C regulatory
"Appendix 3C Notification of buy-back Information or documents not available now must be given to ASX"
Class A common stock financial
"up to an aggregate of US$1 billion of the Company’s Nasdaq-listed Class A common stock and Class B common stock"
Class A common stock is a category of a company’s shares that carries a specific set of ownership rights—most commonly defined voting power and claims on dividends—set out in the company’s charter. For investors it matters because the class determines how much influence you have over corporate decisions, the share’s likely dividend and trading behavior, and how it compares in value to other share classes, like choosing a particular seat with different privileges at the company’s decision-making table.
Class B common stock financial
"up to an aggregate of US$1 billion of the Company’s Nasdaq-listed Class A common stock and Class B common stock"
A class B common stock is one of multiple types of a company’s ordinary shares that carries specific rights—often different voting power or dividend priority—compared with other classes. For investors it matters because those differences affect how much influence you have over company decisions, the income you might receive, and how freely the shares trade; think of it like owning a car with different keys: some keys let you start the engine and open the trunk, others only unlock the door.
