#### Recent Developments
 *Transactions* 

On September 8, 2025, the trustee and beneficiaries of the Murdoch Family Trust (the "MFT") informed us that they have reached a mutual resolution of the legal proceedings in Nevada related to the MFT, resulting in the termination of all litigation. Following this resolution and the transactions described below, Prudence MacLeod, Elisabeth Murdoch and James Murdoch (collectively, the "Departing Members") will cease to have any interest in the shares of Class A common stock, par value $0.01, of the Company ("Class A common stock") or shares of Class B common stock previously held by the MFT.

We have been informed that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Each of the selling stockholders in this offering is a trust established by Cruden Financial Services LLC ("Cruden"), the trustee of the MFT, for the benefit of a Departing Member and his or her respective descendants and charitable organizations (collectively, the "Departing Member Trusts");

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Three trusts (collectively, the "LGC Family Trusts") were established by the trustee of the MFT for the benefit of each of Lachlan K. Murdoch, Grace Murdoch and Chloe Murdoch and his or her respective descendants and charitable organizations, each with a term expected to extend to 2050;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; (1) 50% of the shares of Class A common stock and 50% of the shares of Class B common stock held by the MFT were transferred to the Departing Member Trusts (the "DMT Share Transfers") and (2) the remaining 50% of the shares of Class A common stock and the remaining 50% of the shares of Class B common stock held by the MFT were transferred to the LGC Family Trusts, which subsequently contributed such shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock to LGC Holdco, LLC ("LGC Holdco"), a Delaware limited liability company, which is owned by the LGC Family Trusts and initially managed by Cruden;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Subject to and conditioned upon closing of this offering, LGC Holdco will acquire, through a series of transactions (the "concurrent transfers"), all of the remaining shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by the Departing Member Trusts that are not sold in this offering; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Departing Member Trusts will receive cash for the sale of all of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by them, including from the sale of the shares in this offering.

In connection with the foregoing transactions, we have been informed that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • LGC Holdco has entered into a collateralized loan agreement (the "LGC Holdco loan agreement") with a financial institution (the "Lender"), pursuant to which LGC Holdco borrowed term loans (the "LGC Holdco loans") in an aggregate principal amount of $1,000 million to fund the purchase by LGC Holdco of a portion of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by the Departing Member Trusts in the concurrent transfers. LGC Holdco has pledged 30,404,378 shares of Class B common stock of the Company (as well as shares of Class B common stock of Fox Corporation ("FOX") owned by LGC Holdco) as collateral to secure LGC Holdco's obligations under the LGC Holdco loan agreement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Such shares of Class B common stock will be held in one or more accounts at the Lender and, upon the occurrence of certain events that are customary for this type of loan agreement, the Lender may exercise its rights to require LGC Holdco to pre-pay the LGC Holdco loans or pledge additional collateral and may also have the right to foreclose on, or otherwise dispose of, the shares of Class B common stock pledged as collateral.

The transactions described above under this heading are referred to collectively as the "Transactions" for purposes of this prospectus supplement.

We have been informed that: (i) Cruden will initially serve as the trustee of the LGC Family Trusts and the Departing Member Trusts and as the sole manager of LGC Holdco; (ii) following consummation of the Transactions and this offering, Cruden will automatically cease to serve as the trustee of the Departing Member Trusts; and (iii) separately, following consummation of the Transactions and this offering, Cruden will be replaced by Cruden 2, LLC ("Cruden 2") as the trustee and the sole manager of the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco, respectively.

We have been informed that, following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • LGC Holdco will be the beneficial owner of 14,250 shares of our Class A common stock and 62,473,709 shares of our Class B common stock, constituting less than 0.1% and approximately 33.1% of the total number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, respectively, in each case, based on the number of shares outstanding as of August 1, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Cruden 2 will become the sole manager of LGC Holdco, with the power to vote and to dispose, or direct the vote and disposition, of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The decisions of Cruden 2 with respect to the voting and disposition of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, decided throughout the term of the LGC Family Trusts solely by a managing director of Cruden 2, who is

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

appointed, and may be replaced, by Lachlan K. Murdoch; and as a result, Lachlan K. Murdoch may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco; however, Lachlan K. Murdoch will disclaim the beneficial ownership of such shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Departing Members will enter into a restrictive covenant agreement pursuant to which they and their respective affiliates, among other things, (i) will be subject to customary standstill provisions with respect to News Corp for a period of twelve (12) years from the date of the consummation of this offering, including a prohibition on acquiring debt or equity securities of News Corp for such period, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) will agree to dispose of any shares of the Company's common stock held by them outside of the Departing Member Trusts (which we understand constitutes a *de minimis* number of shares) within six (6) months of the date of the consummation of this offering, subject to applicable securities laws.

Following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering, K. Rupert Murdoch will remain our Chairman Emeritus.

 *New Stockholders Agreement* 

Prior to this offering, the Company and the MFT terminated the stockholders agreement, dated as of September 21, 2021, by and between the Company and the MFT (the "Previous Stockholders Agreement"), and immediately thereafter, the Company entered into a new stockholders agreement (the "New Stockholders Agreement"), dated as of September 8, 2025, with the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco.

The New Stockholders Agreement is substantially the same as the Previous Stockholders Agreement, including a limitation on the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco from owning, collectively with K. Rupert Murdoch, Lachlan K. Murdoch, Grace Murdoch and Chloe Murdoch (collectively, the "Murdoch Individuals"), more than 44% of the outstanding voting power of the shares of our Class B common stock (the "Ownership Threshold"). In addition, the New Stockholders Agreement provides (a) the Company with a right of first refusal with respect to any underwritten public offering of the shares of Class B common stock held by the LGC Family Trusts or LGC Holdco to anyone other than the Murdoch Individuals and their affiliates, subject to certain exceptions set forth therein, and (b) the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco with certain customary registration rights.

#### Risks Related to Ownership of Our Class B Common Stock
 ***The market price of our Class B common stock has fluctuated in the past and may fluctuate significantly in the future. Accordingly, you may not be able to resell the shares purchased in this offering at or above the price at which you purchased them.***

The market price of our Class B common stock may fluctuate significantly depending upon many factors, some of which are beyond our control. In the event of a drop in the market price of our Class B common stock, you could lose a substantial part or all of your investment in the shares. The following factors, among others, could affect our stock price:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Company's quarterly or annual earnings, or those of other companies in our industry;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • actual or anticipated fluctuations in the Company's operating results;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • success or failure of the Company's business strategy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Company's ability to obtain financing as needed;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in accounting standards, policies, guidance, interpretations or principles;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in laws and regulations affecting the Company's business or interpretations thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • announcements by the Company or our competitors of significant new business developments or the addition or loss of significant customers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • announcements by the Company or our competitors of significant acquisitions or dispositions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in earnings estimates by securities analysts or the Company's ability to meet our earnings guidance, if any;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the operating and stock price performance of other comparable companies;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • investor perception of the Company and the industries in which we operate;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • results from material litigation or governmental investigations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in capital gains taxes and taxes on dividends affecting stockholders;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • overall market fluctuations, general economic conditions, such as inflationary pressures or a general economic slowdown or recession, the imposition of tariffs or other changes in trade policy and other external factors, including pandemics, geopolitical tensions or conflicts, war and terrorism; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • changes in the amounts and frequency of dividends or stock repurchases, if any.

The stock markets in general have experienced extreme volatility that has often been unrelated to the operating performance of particular companies. These broad market fluctuations may adversely affect the trading prices of our common stock, including our Class B common stock. Securities class action litigation

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

has often been instituted against companies following periods of volatility in the overall market and in the market price of a company's securities. Such litigation, if instituted against us, could result in substantial costs, divert our management's attention and resources, and have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows. There can be no guarantee that our stock price will remain at current levels or that future sales of our common stock will not be at prices lower than those sold to investors.

 ***Issuances and sales of additional shares, or the perception of future sales, of preferred stock or common stock, including this offering of Class B common stock, could reduce the market price of our shares of Class B common stock.***

The sale by the selling stockholders of the shares in this offering could negatively impact the market price of our Class B common stock. Further, future sales of a substantial number of shares of Class B common stock by LGC Holdco which, following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering, will beneficially own approximately 33.1% of our Class B common stock (of which, we have been informed, approximately 48.7% will be pledged as collateral for the LGC Holdco loans), could significantly reduce the market price of our Class B common stock. Furthermore, pursuant to the New Stockholders Agreement, we have agreed to use our commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate potential future offers and sales of the shares of Class B common stock held by the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco upon their request. The perception that these future sales may occur could also cause the market price of our Class B common stock to decline and impair our ability to raise additional capital through the sale of our equity securities.

Under our certificate of incorporation, we are authorized to issue up to 1,500,000,000 shares of Class A common stock, 750,000,000 shares of Class B common stock, 25,000,000 shares of series common stock, par value $0.01 per share and 25,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share. Accordingly, in the future we may issue additional securities in order to raise capital or in connection with acquisitions. We may acquire interests in other companies by using a combination of cash and our common stock or just our common stock, in each case, including our Class B common stock. Further, shares of preferred stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series as our board of directors (the "Board of Directors") may from time to time determine, each such series to be distinctively designated.

Any such issuances and sales of our preferred stock or common stock could have the effect of depressing the market price for our Class B common stock, and the issuance of any such preferred stock could materially adversely affect the rights of holders of our Class B common stock. Any of these events may dilute your ownership interest in the Company and have an adverse impact on the price of our Class B common stock. We cannot predict the size of future issuances or sales of our Class B common stock or other securities or the effect, if any, that future issuances or sales of our Class B common stock and other securities would have on the market price of our Class B common stock.

We, certain of our directors and executive officers, our Chairman Emeritus, and LGC Holdco have agreed with the underwriter, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer or sell, dispose of or hedge, directly or indirectly, any shares of Class B common stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Class B common stock for a period of (i) with respect to us, such directors and executive officers and our Chairman Emeritus, 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, and (ii) with respect to LGC Holdco, 12 months from the date of this prospectus supplement, in each case, except with the prior written consent of the underwriter. See "Underwriting" for a description of these lock-up agreements. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of our Class B common stock.

 ***If securities or industry analysts cease coverage of the Company or publish unfavorable research about our business, our stock price and trading volume could decline.***

The trading market for our Class B common stock is influenced by the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. If one or more analysts cease coverage of the Company or fails to publish reports on us regularly, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline. Moreover, if our results of operations do not meet the expectations of the investor community, or one or more of the analysts who cover our Company

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

publish unfavorable research about our business, our stock price could decline. As a result, you may not be able to sell shares of our Class B common stock at prices equal to or greater than the price of the shares sold in this offering.

#### Risks Relating to Our Ownership Structure
 ***Certain of the Company's directors and significant stockholders may have actual or potential conflicts of interest because of their equity ownership in FOX and/or because they also serve as officers and/or on the Board of Directors of FOX, which may result in the diversion of certain corporate opportunities to FOX.***

Certain of the Company's directors and significant stockholders own shares of FOX's common stock, and the individual holdings may be significant for some of these individuals compared to their total assets. In addition, the Company's Chair, Lachlan K. Murdoch, also serves as Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer of FOX. This ownership of or service to both companies may create, or may create the appearance of, conflicts of interest when faced with decisions that could have different implications for the Company and FOX. For example, potential conflicts of interest could arise in connection with the resolution of any dispute that may arise between the Company and FOX regarding the terms of the agreements governing the indemnification of certain matters. In addition to any other arrangements that the Company and FOX may agree to implement, the Company and FOX agreed that officers and directors who serve at both companies will recuse themselves from decisions where conflicts arise due to their positions at both companies.

The Company's amended and restated by-laws (the "Amended and Restated By-laws") acknowledge that the Company's directors and officers, as well as certain of its stockholders, including K. Rupert Murdoch, certain members of his family and certain family trusts (so long as such persons continue to own, in the aggregate, 10% or more of the voting stock of each of the Company and FOX), each of which is referred to as a covered stockholder, are or may become stockholders, directors, officers, employees or agents of FOX and certain of its affiliates. The Company's Amended and Restated By-laws further provide that any such overlapping person will not be liable to the Company, or to any of its stockholders, for breach of any fiduciary duty that would otherwise exist because such individual directs a corporate opportunity (other than certain types of restricted business opportunities set forth in the Company's Amended and Restated By-laws) to FOX instead of the Company. This could result in an overlapping person submitting any corporate opportunities other than restricted business opportunities to FOX instead of the Company.

 ***Certain provisions of the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws and the ownership of the Company's common stock by LGC Holdco may discourage takeovers, and the concentration of ownership will affect the voting results of matters submitted for stockholder approval.***

The Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws contain certain anti-takeover provisions that may make more difficult or expensive a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by the Company's Board of Directors or certain stockholders holding a significant percentage of the voting power of the Company's outstanding voting stock. In particular, the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide for, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a dual-class common equity capital structure, in which holders of Class A common stock can vote only in specific, limited circumstances;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a prohibition on stockholders taking any action by written consent without a meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • special stockholders' meeting to be called only by the Board of Directors, the Chair or a Vice or Deputy Chair of the Board of Directors, or, after first requesting that the Board of Directors fix a record date for such meeting, the holders of not less than 20% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding voting stock;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the requirement that stockholders give the Company advance notice to nominate candidates for election to the Board of Directors or to make stockholder proposals at a stockholders' meeting;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the requirement of an affirmative vote of at least 65% of the voting power of the Company's outstanding voting stock to amend or repeal the Amended and Restated By-laws;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • vacancies on the Board of Directors to be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • certain restrictions on the transfer of the Company's shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Board of Directors to issue, without stockholder approval, preferred stock and series common stock with such terms as the Board of Directors may determine.

These provisions could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control of the Company, even in the case where a majority of the stockholders may consider such proposals, if effective, desirable.

We have been informed that, following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering: (i) LGC Holdco will be the beneficial owner of 62,473,709 shares of our Class B common stock, constituting approximately 33.1% of the total number of outstanding shares of our Class B common stock; (ii) Cruden 2 will become the sole manager of LGC Holdco, with the power to vote and to dispose, or direct the vote and disposition, of the shares of Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco; and (iii) the decisions of Cruden 2 with respect to the voting and disposition of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, decided throughout the term of the LGC Family Trusts solely by a managing director of Cruden 2, who is appointed, and may be replaced, by Lachlan K. Murdoch; and as a result, Lachlan K. Murdoch may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares of Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco; however, Lachlan K. Murdoch will disclaim the beneficial ownership of such shares.

This ownership concentration of the Class B common stock by LGC Holdco and associated concentration of voting power could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an acquisition of the Company. Additionally, such ownership concentration increases the likelihood that proposals submitted for stockholder approval that are supported by LGC Holdco will be adopted and proposals that are not supported by LGC Holdco will not be adopted, whether or not such proposals to stockholders are also supported by the other holders of Class B common stock. LGC Holdco's interests may be different from, or conflict with, the interests of our other stockholders and, as a result, this concentration of ownership may have the effect of delaying, preventing or deterring a change in control of the Company and may negatively affect the market price of our common stock, including our Class B common stock.

The Company's Board of Directors has authorized two $1 billion stock repurchase programs for Class A common stock and Class B common stock, which may increase the percentage of Class B common stock held by LGC Holdco (subject to the Ownership Threshold). Nevertheless, under the terms of the New Stockholders Agreement (and consistent with the terms of the Previous Stockholders Agreement), the Company, the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco have agreed not to take actions that would result in such stockholders owning, collectively with the Murdoch Individuals, more than 44% of the outstanding voting power of the shares of Class B common stock. The LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco agreed to forfeit votes to the extent necessary to ensure that the Murdoch Individuals, the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco, collectively, do not own more than the Ownership Threshold, except where a Murdoch Individual votes his or her own shares differently from the others on any matter.

#### USE OF PROCEEDS
We are not selling any shares in this offering, and we will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares in this offering. All of the shares in this offering are being sold by the selling stockholders, and the selling stockholders will receive all of the net proceeds from this offering. See "Selling Stockholders."

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### SELLING STOCKHOLDERS
The following table sets forth information as of August 1, 2025, with respect to the beneficial ownership of shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock by the selling stockholders referred to in the following table, after giving effect to the DMT Share Transfers and before and after giving effect to this offering and the concurrent transfers. No shares of Class A common stock are being offered in this offering.

The amounts and percentages of shares beneficially owned are reported on the basis of rules and regulations of the SEC governing the determination of beneficial ownership of securities and are based on information provided by the selling stockholders. Under rules of the SEC, a person is deemed to be a "beneficial owner" of a security if that person has or shares voting power or investment power, which includes the power to dispose, or to direct the disposition, of such security. A person is also deemed to be a beneficial owner of any securities of which that person has a right to acquire beneficial ownership within 60 days. Securities that can be so acquired are deemed to be outstanding for purposes of computing such person's ownership percentage, but not for purposes of computing any other person's percentage. Under these rules, more than one person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the same securities, and a person may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of securities as to which such person has no economic interest.

Percentage computations of beneficial ownership provided in the table below are based on 376,442,848 shares of our Class A common stock outstanding and 188,528,838 shares of our Class B common stock outstanding as of August 1, 2025.

The following table also provides the number of shares of our Class B common stock that may be offered by the selling stockholders pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the number of shares of our Class B common stock that will be beneficially owned by the selling stockholders after such an offering, assuming the sale of all of the offered shares of Class B common stock and after giving effect to the DMT Share Transfers and the concurrent transfers. Ownership percentages in the table below reflect the percentage of our outstanding Class A common stock and outstanding Class B common stock beneficially owned. Information about the selling stockholders may change over time. Unless otherwise noted, the address for each selling stockholder is c/o Cruden Financial Services LLC, 100 W. Liberty Street, Suite 750, Reno, NV 89501.

(1) Cruden, the sole trustee of each of the selling stockholders, has the power to vote and to dispose, or direct the vote and disposition, of all of the reported Class B common stock. In addition, Cruden has the power to exercise the limited vote and to dispose, or direct the limited vote and disposition, of all of the reported Class A common stock. As a result of K. Rupert Murdoch's ability to appoint certain members of the board of directors of Cruden as of the date of this prospectus supplement, K. Rupert Murdoch may be deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares held by the selling stockholders. K. Rupert Murdoch, however, disclaims any beneficial ownership of shares held by the selling stockholders.

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

#### Material Relationships with Selling Stockholders
Based on SEC filings made by Cruden, we understand that: prior to September 8, 2025, the MFT beneficially owned 14,250 shares of Class A common stock and 76,655,870 shares of Class B common stock, as determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act. At that time, Cruden, as the corporate trustee of the MFT, had the power to vote and to dispose, or direct the vote and disposition, of any Class B common stock beneficially owned by the MFT. In addition, Cruden had the power to exercise the limited vote and to dispose, or direct the limited vote and disposition, of any shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by the MFT. As a result of K. Rupert Murdoch's ability to appoint certain members of the board of directors of Cruden, K. Rupert Murdoch may have been deemed to be a beneficial owner of the shares beneficially owned by the MFT. K. Rupert Murdoch, however, disclaimed any beneficial ownership of such shares. K. Rupert Murdoch is the Chairman Emeritus of News Corporation. On September 8, 2025, the Company terminated the Previous Stockholders Agreement with the MFT and entered into a New Stockholders Agreement with the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco. See "Prospectus Supplement Summary — Recent Developments — New Stockholders Agreement." Lachlan K. Murdoch, a direct beneficiary of the MFT and one of the LGC Family Trusts and an indirect beneficiary of LGC Holdco, is the Chair of News Corp.

We have been informed that subject to and conditioned upon closing of this offering, LGC Holdco will acquire, through the concurrent transfers, all of the remaining shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by the Departing Member Trusts that are not sold in this offering; and that the Departing Member Trusts will receive cash for the sale of all of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock held by them, including from the proceeds of this offering.

We have been informed that: (i) Cruden will initially serve as the trustee of the LGC Family Trusts and the Departing Member Trusts and as the sole manager of LGC Holdco; (ii) following consummation of the Transactions and this offering, Cruden will automatically cease to serve as the trustee of the Departing Member Trusts; and (iii) separately, following consummation of the Transactions and this offering, Cruden will be replaced by Cruden 2 as the trustee and the sole manager of the LGC Family Trusts and LGC Holdco, respectively.

We have been informed that, following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • LGC Holdco will be the beneficial owner of 14,250 shares of our Class A common stock and 62,473,709 shares of our Class B common stock, constituting less than 0.1% and approximately 33.1% of the total number of outstanding shares of our Class A common stock and our Class B common stock, respectively, in each case, based on the number of shares outstanding as of August 1, 2025;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Cruden 2 will become the sole manager of LGC Holdco with the power to vote and to dispose, or direct the vote and disposition, of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The decisions of Cruden 2 with respect to the voting and disposition of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will be, subject to certain limited exceptions, decided throughout the term of the LGC Family Trusts solely by a managing director of Cruden 2, who is appointed, and may be replaced, by Lachlan K. Murdoch; and as a result, Lachlan K. Murdoch may be deemed the beneficial owner of the shares of Class A common stock and Class B common stock owned by LGC Holdco; however, Lachlan K. Murdoch will disclaim the beneficial ownership of such shares; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Departing Members will enter into a restrictive covenant agreement pursuant to which they and their respective affiliates, among other things, (i) will be subject to customary standstill provisions with respect to News Corp for a period of twelve (12) years from the date of the consummation of this offering, including a prohibition on acquiring debt or equity securities of News Corp for such period, subject to certain exceptions, and (ii) will agree to dispose of any shares of the Company's common stock held by them outside of the Departing Member Trusts (which we understand constitutes a *de minimis* number of shares) within six (6) months of the date of the consummation of this offering, subject to applicable securities laws.

Following the consummation of the Transactions and this offering, K. Rupert Murdoch will remain our Chairman Emeritus.

#### MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME AND ESTATE TAX CONSIDERATIONS TO NON-U.S. HOLDERS OF OUR CLASS B COMMON STOCK
The following discussion is a summary of material U.S. federal income and estate tax considerations generally applicable to Non-U.S. Holders (as defined herein) with respect to the ownership and disposition of shares of Class B common stock that are purchased in this offering and held as capital assets (generally, for investment). For purposes of this discussion, the term "Non-U.S. Holder" means a beneficial owner of shares of Class B common stock that is not for U.S. federal income tax purposes a partnership or any of the following:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an individual who is a citizen or resident of the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a corporation or other entity taxable as a corporation created in or organized under the laws of the U.S., any state thereof or the District of Columbia;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • an estate, the income of which is subject to U.S. federal income taxation regardless of its source; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • a trust (i) if a court within the U.S. is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of such trust and one or more U.S. persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of such trust or (ii) that has a valid election in effect under applicable U.S. Treasury regulations to be treated as a U.S. person.

If a partnership (including an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds shares of Class B common stock, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will generally depend upon the status of the partner or member and the activities of the partnership or other entity. Accordingly, partnerships (including entities or arrangements treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that hold shares of Class B common stock and partners or members in these partnerships or other entities should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income and other tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of shares of Class B common stock.

This summary does not address the potential application of the alternative minimum tax or any other U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to a Non-U.S. Holder's specific facts and circumstances and does not consider any U.S. federal tax consequences other than income and estate tax consequences (such as gift tax consequences or the Medicare tax on net investment income) or any state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences. This summary also does not apply to Non-U.S. Holders subject to special tax treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws (including, without limitation, a dealer in securities or currencies, a bank or other financial institution, an insurance company, a tax-exempt organization or entity, a person holding Class B common stock as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction, a constructive sale, or a straddle, a trader in securities that has elected the mark-to-market method of accounting with respect to its securities, a person who has owned (or is deemed to have owned), within the five-year period preceding such person's disposition of shares of Class B common stock, 5% or more of our stock, a person that received its shares of Class B common stock as compensation, a controlled foreign corporation, a passive foreign investment company, an entity or arrangement classified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes (or an investor therein), a person required for U.S. federal income tax purposes to conform the timing of income accruals with respect to shares of Class B common stock to the income accruals on its financial statements under Section 451 of the Code (as defined below), a person that purchases or sells shares of Class B common stock as part of a wash sale for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or a former U.S. citizen or permanent resident). This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"), existing and proposed Treasury regulations, Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") rulings and pronouncements and judicial decisions in effect, all of which are subject to change or differing interpretations, possibly on a retroactive basis.

 **The discussion included herein is only a summary. Accordingly, we urge you to consult your tax advisor with respect to your U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income, estate and other tax consequences in light of your particular situation with respect to holding and disposing of shares of Class B common stock.** 

#### Dividends
If we pay distributions on shares of Class B common stock, such distributions will constitute dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from our current or accumulated earnings and profits,

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. To the extent that the amount of any distribution exceeds our current and accumulated earnings and profits for a taxable year, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles, the distribution will first be treated as a tax-free return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted basis of the shares of Class B common stock, but not below zero, and the balance in excess of adjusted basis will be taxed as gain recognized on a sale or exchange. See discussion below under "— Dispositions."

Subject to the discussions below under "— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "— Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act," any dividend paid to a Non-U.S. Holder with respect to shares of Class B common stock will generally be subject to U.S. federal withholding tax at a 30% rate (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty). Generally, a Non-U.S. Holder must certify as to its status, and to any right to reduced withholding under an applicable income tax treaty, on a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN or IRS Form W-8BEN-E in order to obtain the benefit of such right. If, however, the Non-U.S. Holder provides an IRS Form W-8ECI certifying that the dividend is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business within the U.S. (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a U.S. permanent establishment or fixed base of the Non-U.S. Holder), the dividend will not be subject to withholding. Instead, such dividend will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on a net basis at regular graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons generally and, for corporate Non-U.S. Holders, may also be subject to a "branch profits tax" at a 30% rate (or a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such Non-U.S. Holder's effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments).

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax treaty.

#### Dispositions
Subject to the discussions below under "— Information Reporting and Backup Withholding" and "— Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act," a Non-U.S. Holder will generally not be subject to U.S. federal income or withholding tax in respect of any gain on a sale, exchange or other disposition of shares of Class B common stock unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the gain is effectively connected with the Non-U.S. Holder's conduct of a trade or business in the U.S. and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment or fixed base maintained by the Non-U.S. Holder in the U.S.;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Non-U.S. Holder is an individual who is present in the U.S. for 183 or more days in the tax year of the disposition and meets certain other conditions; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • we are or have been a "U.S. real property holding corporation" ("USRPHC") under Section 897 of the Code at any time within the five-year period preceding the disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding period, whichever period is shorter, and our Class B common stock has ceased to be regularly traded on an established securities market prior to the beginning of the calendar year in which the disposition occurs. We do not believe that we currently are a USRPHC, and we do not anticipate becoming a USRPHC in the future.

If you are a Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet above, you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the net gain recognized on the disposition under regular graduated rates (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) as if you were a "United States person," as defined by the Code. In addition, a corporate Non-U.S. Holder described in the first bullet above also may be subject to a branch profits tax at a 30% rate (or a lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such Non-U.S. Holder's effectively connected earnings and profits (subject to adjustments). If you are an individual Non-U.S. Holder described in the second bullet above, you will be required to pay a flat 30% U.S. federal income tax (or such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on the gain recognized on the disposition, which gain may be offset by certain U.S.-source capital losses.

Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding any applicable income tax or other treaties that may provide for different rules.

#### Information Reporting and Backup Withholding
A Non-U.S. Holder will generally be required to comply with certain certification procedures to establish that it is not a U.S. person in order to avoid backup withholding with respect to dividends on, or the proceeds of a disposition of, shares of Class B common stock. In addition, the applicable withholding agent will be required to report annually to the IRS and the Non-U.S. Holder the amount of any distributions paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless of whether any tax was actually withheld. Copies of the information returns reporting such distributions and the amount withheld, if any, may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which the Non-U.S. Holder resides or is organized under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will generally be allowed as a refund or credit against the Non-U.S. Holder's U.S. federal income tax liability, provided that certain required information is provided on a timely basis to the IRS.

#### U.S. Federal Estate Taxes
Shares of Class B common stock owned or treated as owned by an individual Non-U.S. Holder at the time of death will be included in the individual's gross estate for U.S. federal estate tax purposes and may be subject to U.S. federal estate tax, unless an applicable estate tax treaty provides otherwise.

#### Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act
Under the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act ("FATCA"), withholding at a rate of 30% generally will be required on dividends in respect of shares of Class B common stock held by or through certain foreign financial institutions (including investment funds), unless such institution (i) enters into an agreement with the Treasury to report, on an annual basis, information with respect to shares in, and accounts maintained by, the institution held by certain U.S. persons and by certain non-U.S. entities that are wholly or partially owned by U.S. persons and to withhold on certain payments, or (ii) if required under an intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, reports such information to its local tax authority, which will exchange such information with the U.S. authorities. An intergovernmental agreement between the U.S. and an applicable foreign country, or other guidance, may modify these requirements. Similarly, dividends in respect of shares of Class B common stock held by or through an investor that is a non-financial non-U.S. entity that does not qualify under certain exemptions will be subject to withholding at a rate of 30%, unless such entity (i) certifies to us that it does not have any "substantial U.S. owners"; (ii) provides certain information regarding its "substantial U.S. owners," which the applicable withholding agent will in turn provide to the Secretary of the Treasury; or (iii) otherwise qualifies for an applicable exception. Accordingly, the entity through which shares of Class B common stock are held will affect the determination of whether such withholding is required. We will not pay any additional amounts to holders in respect of any amounts withheld. Holders are urged to consult their tax advisors regarding the possible implications of these withholding taxes on their investment in Class B common stock.

#### CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase and holding of shares of our Class B common stock (including any interest in shares of our Class B common stock) by (i) employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), (ii) plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of the Code or ERISA (collectively, "Similar Laws") and (iii) entities whose underlying assets are considered to include "plan assets" of any such plan, account or arrangement (each of the foregoing described in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) referred to as a "Plan").

#### General Fiduciary Matters
ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code (a "Covered Plan") and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of a Covered Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such a Covered Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such a Covered Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such a Covered Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the Covered Plan.

In considering an investment in shares of our Class B common stock with a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary's duties to the Plan, including, without limitation, as applicable, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control, conflicts of interest and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Each Plan should consider the fact that none of the Transaction Parties (as defined below) will act as a fiduciary to any Plan with respect to the decision to acquire shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to this offering and is not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, or to give advice in a fiduciary capacity, with respect to such decision. "Transaction Party" means any of the Company, the selling stockholders, the underwriter and their respective affiliates, other than an affiliate of the underwriter that is a named fiduciary (or a fiduciary appointed by a named fiduciary) with respect to the management of the assets of the applicable Plan and acting in accordance with an applicable individual prohibited transaction exemption (the applicable conditions of which are satisfied).

#### Prohibited Transaction Issues
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit Covered Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving the Covered Plan's assets with persons or entities who are "parties in interest," within the meaning of ERISA, or "disqualified persons," within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the Covered Plan that engages in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. For example, the acquisition and/or holding of shares of our Class B common stock by a Covered Plan with respect to which the selling stockholders are considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or "PTCEs," that potentially may apply to the acquisition and holding of shares of our Class B common stock. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC)

transactions; *provided* that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of any Covered Plan involved in the transaction and provided further that the Covered Plan receives no less, nor pays no more, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. Each of the above-noted exemptions contains conditions and limitations on its application. Fiduciaries of Covered Plans considering acquiring or holding shares of our Class B common stock in reliance on these or any other exemption should carefully review the exemption to ensure it is applicable. There can be no assurance that any of the above-noted exemptions, or any other exemption, will apply to all otherwise prohibited transactions in connection with an investment in shares of our Class B common stock, or that all of the conditions of the above-described exemptions, or any other exemption will be satisfied.

Because of the foregoing, shares of our Class B common stock should not be purchased or held by any person investing the assets of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code, as applicable, or a similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

#### Representation
Accordingly, by acceptance of shares of our Class B common stock, each purchaser and subsequent transferee of shares of our Class B common stock (including any interest in shares) will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire or hold shares of our Class B common stock constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) (a) the acquisition and holding of shares of our Class B common stock by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws, and (b) none of the Transaction Parties is its fiduciary with respect to its investment in shares of our Class B common stock pursuant to this offering.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing shares of our Class B common stock on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of shares of our Class B common stock.

The sale of shares of our Class B common stock to a Plan is in no respect a representation or recommendation by us, the selling stockholders or the underwriter that such an investment meets all relevant legal requirements with respect to investments by Plans generally or any particular Plan, or that such an investment is appropriate or advisable for Plans generally or any particular Plan. Purchasers of shares of our Class B common stock have the exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their purchase and holding of shares of our Class B common stock, or any interest therein, complies with the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA and does not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or any applicable Similar Laws.

#### DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES
The following summary describes the general terms and provisions of the debt securities. In this Description of Debt Securities, all references to the "Issuer" are to News Corporation only and not to its subsidiaries. The particular terms of any debt securities will be described more specifically in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities. The debt securities the Issuer may issue may be senior, senior subordinated or subordinated, and secured or unsecured obligations, and may be issued in one or more series. The debt securities may have the benefit of future guarantees by one or more of the Issuer's subsidiaries, and such guarantors, if any, will be added as registrants pursuant to a post-effective amendment.

The debt securities issued by the Issuer will be issued under the indenture to be entered into later between the Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as Trustee, the form of which has been filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part (the "indenture"). The trustee (if other than the Trustee), registrar, paying agent, transfer agent, collateral agent, calculation agent and/or foreign currency agent (collectively, the "agents"), as applicable, shall be named in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The following description of debt securities describes general terms and provisions of a series of debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. The particular terms of each series that is offered by a prospectus supplement will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement and those stated in the indenture (including any supplemental indentures or similar documents that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities). If any particular terms of the debt securities or the indenture described in a prospectus supplement differ from any of the terms described in this prospectus, the terms described in the applicable prospectus supplement will supersede the terms described in this prospectus. Unless otherwise indicated, the terms of the debt securities will include those stated in the indenture (including any supplemental indentures or similar documents that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities) as well as those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the "Trust Indenture Act"), as in effect on the date of the indenture. The indenture, and any supplemental indentures thereto, are subject to and governed by the terms of the Trust Indenture Act.

You should review the form of indenture, the form of any applicable supplemental indenture and the form of certificate evidencing the applicable debt securities, which forms have been or will be filed as exhibits to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part or as exhibits to documents which have been or will be incorporated by reference in this prospectus. To obtain a copy of the form of indenture, the form of any such supplemental indenture or the form of certificate for any debt securities, see "Where You Can Find More Information" in this prospectus. The following summary and the summary in the applicable prospectus supplement are qualified in their entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the indenture, any supplemental indenture and the certificates evidencing the applicable debt securities, which provisions, including defined terms, are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

All debt securities of one series need not be issued at the same time, and may vary as to interest rate, maturity and other provisions and, unless otherwise provided, a series may be "reopened," without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of that series, for issuance of additional debt securities of that series ranking equally with debt securities of that series and otherwise similar in all respects except for issue date and issue price.

Debt securities may be issued as original issue discount securities to be sold at a substantial discount below their principal amount.

Certain U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to original issue discount securities will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

The terms of the debt securities of any series may differ from the terms of the debt securities of any other series, and the terms of particular debt securities within any series may differ from each other. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities, the Issuer may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities of any series, reopen an existing series of debt securities and issue additional debt securities of that series.

#### Highly Leveraged Transaction

#### Registration, Transfer and Payment
Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, each series of debt securities will be issued in registered form only, without coupons.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, registered debt securities will be issued in denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will be payable and may be surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange at an office or agency maintained by the Issuer in the United States of America. However, the Issuer, at its option, may make payments of interest on any registered debt security by check mailed to the address of the person entitled to receive that payment or by wire transfer to an account maintained by the payee with a bank located in the United States of America. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, no service charge shall be made for any registration of transfer or exchange of debt securities, but the Issuer may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with that transaction.

Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Issuer will not be required to:

#### Book-Entry, Delivery and Form
The debt securities of a series may be issued in whole or in part in the form of one or more global debt securities. Global debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, a depository, which, unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the series, will be DTC. Global debt securities may be issued in either temporary or permanent form. Unless and until it is exchanged in whole or in part for individual certificates evidencing debt securities, a global debt security may not be transferred except as a whole by the depository to its nominee or by the nominee to the depository, or by the depository or its nominee to a successor depository or to a nominee of the successor depository.

The Issuer anticipates that global debt securities will be deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC and that global debt securities will be registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co. All interests in global debt securities deposited with, or on behalf of, DTC will be subject to the operations and procedures of DTC and, in the case of any interests in global debt securities held through Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V. ("Euroclear") or Clearstream Banking, *société anonyme* ("Clearstream"), the operations and procedures of Euroclear or Clearstream, as the case may be. Additional or differing terms of the depository arrangements may be described in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 *Certain Book-Entry Procedures for Global Debt Securities* 

The descriptions of the operations and procedures of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream set forth below are provided solely as a matter of convenience. The information in this section concerning DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream and their book-entry systems has been obtained from sources that the Issuer believes to be reliable, but the Issuer takes no responsibility for the accuracy thereof. These operations and procedures are solely within the control of the respective settlement system and are subject to change by them from time to time. The Issuer takes no responsibility for these operations or procedures, and holders of any debt securities are urged to contact the systems or their participants directly to discuss these matters.

The Issuer has been advised by DTC that it is (i) a limited-purpose trust company organized under the New York Banking Law, (ii) a "banking organization" within the meaning of the New York Banking Law, (iii) a member of the Federal Reserve System, (iv) a "clearing corporation" within the meaning of the New York Uniform Commercial Code and (v) a "clearing agency" registered pursuant to the provisions of Section 17A of the Exchange Act. DTC holds and provides asset servicing for U.S. and non-U.S. equity issues, corporate and municipal debt issues and money market instruments that DTC's participants ("Direct Participants") deposit with DTC. DTC also facilitates the post-trade settlement among Direct Participants of sales and other securities transactions in deposited securities, through electronic computerized book-entry transfers and pledges between Direct Participants' accounts. Direct Participants include both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations. Access to the DTC system is also available to others, such as both U.S. and non-U.S. securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies and clearing corporations that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Direct Participant, either directly or indirectly ("Indirect Participants").

Purchases of debt securities under the DTC system must be made by or through Direct Participants, which will receive a credit for the debt securities on DTC's records. The ownership interest of each purchaser of debt securities represented by global debt securities is in turn to be recorded on the Direct and Indirect Participants' records. Holders of debt securities will not receive written confirmation from DTC of their purchase. Holders of debt securities are, however, expected to receive written confirmations providing details of the transaction, as well as periodic statements of their holdings, from the Direct Participant or Indirect Participant through which the holder of debt securities entered into the transaction. Transfers of ownership interests in the debt securities are to be accomplished by entries made on the books of Direct Participants and Indirect Participants acting on behalf of holders of debt securities. Holders of debt securities will not receive certificates representing their ownership interests in the debt securities, except in the event that use of the book-entry system for the debt securities is discontinued. See "— Certificated Debt Securities" below.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

To facilitate subsequent transfers, all debt securities deposited by Direct Participants with DTC are registered in the name of DTC's nominee, Cede & Co., or such other name as may be requested by DTC. The deposit of debt securities with DTC and their registration in the name of Cede & Co. or such other DTC nominee do not effect any change in beneficial ownership. DTC has no knowledge of the actual holders of debt securities; DTC's records reflect only the identity of the Direct Participants to whose accounts such debt securities are credited, which may or may not be the holders of debt securities. The Direct Participants and Indirect Participants will remain responsible for keeping account of their holdings on behalf of their customers.

So long as DTC or its nominee is the registered owner of the global debt securities, DTC or such nominee, as the case may be, will be considered the sole owner or holder of any debt securities represented by the global debt securities for all purposes under the indenture and under the debt securities represented thereby. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in the global debt securities will not be entitled to have debt securities represented by such global debt securities registered in their names, will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of certificates for the debt securities and will not be considered the owners or holders thereof under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee thereunder. Accordingly, each holder of debt securities must rely on the procedures of DTC and, if such holder of debt securities is not a Direct Participant or an Indirect Participant, on the procedures of the participant through which such holder of debt securities owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a holder of debt securities under the Indenture or such global debt securities. The Issuer understands that under existing industry practice, in the event that it requests any action of holders of debt securities, or a holder of debt securities desires to take any action that DTC, as the holder of the global debt securities, is entitled to take, DTC would authorize the participants to take such action and the participants would authorize holders owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instruction of such holders. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee nor any paying agent under the indenture will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of the beneficial interests in the global debt securities, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial interests.

Neither DTC nor Cede & Co. will consent or vote with respect to debt securities unless authorized by a Direct Participant in accordance with DTC's procedures. Under its usual procedures, DTC mails an omnibus proxy as soon as possible after the record date. The omnibus proxy assigns Cede & Co.'s consenting or voting rights to those Direct Participants to whose accounts debt securities are credited on the record date (identified in a listing attached to the omnibus proxy).

The Issuer will make all payments on any global debt securities to Cede & Co., or such other nominee as may be designated by DTC, in immediately available funds. DTC's practice is to credit Direct Participants' accounts upon DTC's receipt of funds and corresponding detail information from the Issuer or the Trustee, on the applicable payment date in accordance with their respective holdings shown on DTC's records. Payments by participants to holders of debt securities will be governed by standing instructions and customary practice, as is now the case with securities held for the accounts of customers in bearer form or registered in the names of nominees for such customers. Such payment will be the responsibility of such participant and not of DTC, the Issuer or the Trustee, subject to any statutory or regulatory requirements as may be in effect from time to time. All payments to Cede & Co. (or such other nominee designated by DTC) are the responsibility of the Issuer or the Trustee, disbursement of such payments to Direct Participants will be the responsibility of DTC, and disbursement of such payments to the holders of debt securities will be the responsibility of Direct Participants and Indirect Participants.

DTC may discontinue providing its services as depository with respect to any debt securities at any time by giving reasonable notice to the Issuer or the Trustee. Under such circumstances, in the event that a successor depository is not obtained, certificates for the debt securities are required to be printed and delivered. The Issuer may decide (subject to DTC's procedures) to discontinue use of the system of book-entry-only transfers through DTC (or a successor securities depository). In that event, certificates for the debt securities will be printed and delivered to DTC. See "— Certificated Debt Securities."

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

With respect to Euroclear, the Issuer understands that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Euroclear is operated by Euroclear Bank S.A./N.V., as operator of the Euroclear System (the "Euroclear Operator"), under contract with Euroclear Clearance Systems S.C., a Belgian cooperative corporation (the "Cooperative");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Euroclear Operator conducts all operations, and all Euroclear securities clearance accounts and Euroclear cash accounts are accounts with the Euroclear Operator, not the Cooperative. The Cooperative establishes policy for Euroclear on behalf of Euroclear participants. Euroclear participants include banks (including central banks), securities brokers and dealers and other professional financial intermediaries;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Indirect access to Euroclear is also available to other firms that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a Euroclear participant, either directly or indirectly;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Securities clearance accounts and cash accounts with the Euroclear Operator are governed by the Terms and Conditions Governing Use of Euroclear and the related Operating Procedures of the Euroclear System, and applicable Belgian law (collectively, the "Terms and Conditions");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • The Terms and Conditions govern transfers of securities and cash within Euroclear, withdrawals of securities and cash from Euroclear, and receipts of payments with respect to securities in Euroclear. The Euroclear Operator acts under the Terms and Conditions only on behalf of Euroclear participants, and has no record of or relationship with persons holding through Euroclear participants; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Distributions with respect to securities held beneficially through Euroclear will be credited to the cash accounts of Euroclear participants in accordance with the Terms and Conditions, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Euroclear.

With respect to Clearstream, the Issuer understands that:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • As a professional depositary, Clearstream is subject to regulation by the Luxembourg Commission for the Supervision of the Financial Section;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Clearstream participants include underwriters, securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and certain other organizations;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Indirect access to Clearstream is also available to others, such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a participant either directly or indirectly; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • Distributions with respect to the securities held beneficially through Clearstream will be credited to cash accounts of Clearstream participants in accordance with its rules and procedures, to the extent received by the U.S. depositary for Clearstream.

Secondary market trading between Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants will occur in the ordinary way in accordance with the applicable rules and operating procedures of Euroclear and Clearstream and will be settled using the procedures applicable to conventional eurobonds in immediately available funds.

Cross-market transfers between persons holding directly or indirectly through DTC, on the one hand, and directly or indirectly through Euroclear or Clearstream participants, on the other, will be effected within DTC in accordance with DTC's rules on behalf of the relevant European international clearing system by its U.S. depositary; however, such cross-market transactions will require delivery of instructions to the relevant European international clearing system by the counterparty in such system in accordance with its rules and procedures and within its established deadlines (European time). The relevant European international clearing system will, if the transaction meets its settlement requirements, deliver instructions to its U.S. depositary to take action to effect final settlement on its behalf by delivering or receiving the debt securities in DTC, and making or receiving payment in accordance with normal procedures. Euroclear participants and Clearstream participants may not deliver instructions directly to their respective U.S. depositaries.

Because of time-zone differences, credits of securities received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of a transaction with a DTC participant will be made during subsequent securities settlement processing

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

and dated the business day following the DTC settlement date. Such credits, or any transactions in the securities settled during such processing, will be reported to the relevant Euroclear participants or Clearstream participants on that business day. Cash received in Euroclear or Clearstream as a result of sales of securities by or through a Euroclear participant or a Clearstream participant to a DTC participant will be received with value on the business day of settlement in DTC but will be available in the relevant Euroclear or Clearstream cash account only as of the business day following settlement in DTC.

Although DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream have agreed to the preceding procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in global debt securities among participants of DTC, Euroclear and Clearstream, they are under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures and they may discontinue the procedures at any time. Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will have any responsibility for the performance by DTC or of its respective Direct Participants or Indirect Participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

 *Certificated Debt Securities* 

If (i) DTC notifies the Issuer that it is unwilling or unable to continue as a depository for the global debt securities of any series (and a successor depository is not appointed within 90 days of such notice or of the Issuer becoming aware of such cessation), (ii) DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act (and a successor depository is not appointed within 90 days of such notice or of the Issuer becoming aware of such cessation), (iii) the Issuer, at its option, determines (subject to DTC's procedures) that the debt securities of a series will no longer be represented by one or more global debt securities or (iv) upon the occurrence of certain other events as provided in the indenture, then, in each case, upon surrender by DTC of the global debt securities of such series, certificates for the debt securities of that series will be issued to each person that DTC identifies as the beneficial owner of the debt securities of such series represented by the global debt securities. Upon any such issuance, the Trustee is required to register such certificates for the debt securities in the name of such person or persons (or the nominee of any thereof) and cause the same to be delivered thereto.

Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will be liable for any delay by DTC, any Direct Participant or any Indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related debt securities and each such person may conclusively rely on, and shall be protected in relying on, instructions from DTC for all purposes (including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the respective principal amounts, of the debt securities to be issued).

#### Redemption and Repurchase
The debt securities of any series may be redeemable at the option of the Issuer or may be subject to mandatory redemption by the Issuer as required by a sinking fund or otherwise. In addition, the debt securities of any series may be subject to repurchase or repayment by the Issuer at the option of the holders. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms, the times and the prices regarding any optional or mandatory redemption by the Issuer or any repurchase or repayment at the option of the holders of any series of debt securities.

#### Certain Covenants
We will describe any covenants for any series of debt securities and those stated in the indenture (including any supplemental indentures or similar documents that specify the terms of a particular series of debt securities) in the applicable prospectus supplement.

 *Reports* 

The Issuer, pursuant to Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, shall, so long as debt securities of any series are outstanding, file with the Trustee such information, documents and other reports as may be required to comply with the provisions of Section 314(a) of the Trust Indenture Act, *provided* that (i) any failure of the Issuer to comply with this provision shall not constitute a Default or an Event of Default and (ii) only the Trustee may institute a legal proceeding against the Issuer to enforce such delivery obligation.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the Issuer files the information and reports referred to in the preceding paragraph with the SEC and such information is publicly available on the internet, the Issuer shall be deemed to be in compliance with its obligations to furnish such information to the Trustee.

#### Merger, Consolidation and Sale of Assets
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture provides that the Issuer will not consolidate or merge with or into or wind up into, or sell, assign, transfer, lease, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any Person unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Issuer is the surviving entity or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Issuer) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition will have been made is an entity organized or existing under the laws of the United States or any state thereof, the District of Columbia, or a member state of the European Union or any political subdivision thereof (such Person, as the case may be, being herein called the "Successor Company");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Successor Company, if other than the Issuer, shall expressly assume all the obligations of the Issuer pursuant to a supplemental indenture or other documents or instruments in form reasonably satisfactory in form to the Trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • immediately after giving effect to the transaction described above, no Event of Default under the indenture, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time or both would become an Event of Default under the indenture, shall have occurred and be continuing; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Trustee shall have received the officer's certificate and opinion of counsel called for by the indenture.

In the case of any such merger, consolidation, sale, assignment, transfer, lease, conveyance or other disposition in which the Issuer is not the continuing entity and upon execution and delivery by the Successor Company of the supplemental indenture described above, such Successor Company shall succeed to, and be substituted for the Issuer and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer under the indenture with the same effect as if such Successor Company had been named as the Issuer therein, and the Issuer shall be automatically released and discharged from all obligations and covenants under the indenture and the debt securities issued under that indenture.

#### Events of Default
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, an "Event of Default" with respect to the debt securities of any series is defined in the indenture as being:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 1. default in payment when due and payable, upon redemption, acceleration or otherwise, of principal of, or premium, if any, on the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 2. default for 30 days or more in the payment when due of interest on or with respect to the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 3. default in the performance, or breach, of any covenant of the Issuer in the indenture, and continuance of such default or breach for a period of 90 days after there has been given written notice by the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities (with a copy to the Trustee) specifying such default or breach and requiring it to be remedied;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 4. the Issuer, pursuant to or within the meaning of any Bankruptcy Law: (i) commences proceedings to be adjudicated bankrupt or insolvent; (ii) consents to the institution of bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings against it, or the filing by it of a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization or relief under applicable Bankruptcy Law; (iii) consents to the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, trustee, sequestrator or other similar official of it or for all or substantially all of its assets; (iv) makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (v) generally is not paying its debts as they become due;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 5. a court of competent jurisdiction enters an order or decree under any Bankruptcy Law that: (i) is for relief against the Issuer in an involuntary case or proceeding; (ii) appoints a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of the Issuer or any substantial part of the assets of the Issuer; or (iii) orders the liquidation of the Issuer; and, in each case in this clause (5), the order or decree remains unstayed and in effect for 90 consecutive days; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 6. any other Event of Default established for the debt securities of that series.

No Event of Default with respect to any particular series of debt securities necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The indenture provides that, within 90 days after the occurrence of any default with respect to the debt securities of any series, the Trustee will mail to all holders of the debt securities of that series notice of that default. Except in the case of a default relating to the payment of principal, premium, if any, or interest on debt securities of any series, the Trustee may withhold from the holders notice of any continuing default if and so long as a committee of its responsible officers in good faith determines that withholding the notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities. The Trustee shall not be deemed to know of any default unless a responsible officer of the Trustee has actual knowledge thereof or unless written notice of any event which is such a default is received by the Trustee at the corporate trust office of the Trustee.

The indenture provides that if any Event of Default (other than an Event of Default specified in clause (4) or (5) of the second preceding paragraph with respect to the Issuer) occurs and is continuing under the indenture, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the then total outstanding debt securities may declare the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding debt securities to be due and payable immediately. Upon the effectiveness of such declaration, such principal and interest shall be due and payable immediately. The Trustee shall have no obligation to accelerate the debt securities if and so long as a committee of its responsible officers in good faith determines acceleration is not in the best interest of the holders of the debt securities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Event of Default arising under clause (4) or (5) with respect to the Issuer, all outstanding debt securities shall be due and payable immediately without further action or notice. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities by written notice to the Trustee may on behalf of all of the holders rescind an acceleration and its consequences if the rescission would not conflict with any judgment or decree and if all existing Events of Default (except nonpayment of principal, interest or premium that has become due solely because of the acceleration) have been cured or waived.

Subject to the provisions of the Trust Indenture Act requiring the Trustee, during the continuance of an Event of Default under the indenture, to act with the requisite standard of care, the Trustee is under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of debt securities of any series unless those holders have offered the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, fees and expenses and liabilities which might be incurred in compliance with such request or direction. Subject to the foregoing, holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series issued under the indenture have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee under the indenture with respect to that series. The indenture requires the annual filing by the Issuer with the Trustee of a certificate which states whether or not the Issuer is in default under the terms of the indenture.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, no holder of any debt securities of any series shall have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture, or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any other remedy under the indenture, unless:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • such holder has previously given written notice to the Trustee of a continuing Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of such series;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the holders of not less than 25% in aggregate principal amount of the total outstanding debt securities of such series shall have requested the Trustee to pursue the remedy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders have offered to the Trustee security or indemnity reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against any loss, liability or expense incurred in compliance with such request;

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • the Trustee has not complied with such request within 60 days after the receipt thereof and the offer of security or indemnity; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the total outstanding debt securities have not given the Trustee a direction inconsistent with such request within such 60-day period.

Notwithstanding any other provision of the indenture, the right of any holder of a debt security to receive payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest on the debt security, on or after the respective due dates expressed in the debt security, or the contractual right expressly set forth in the indenture or the debt securities, or to bring suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after such respective dates, shall not be impaired or affected without the consent of such holder.

#### Amendment, Supplement and Waiver
Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture permits the Issuer and the Trustee, with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series issued under the indenture and affected by a modification or amendment, to modify or amend any of the provisions of the indenture or of the debt securities of the applicable series or the rights of the holders of the debt securities of that series under the indenture. However, no such modification or amendment shall, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • change the stated maturity of the principal of, or installment of interest, if any, on, any debt securities, or reduce the principal amount thereof or the interest rate thereon or any premium payable upon redemption thereof;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • change the currency in which the principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such debt securities are denominated or payable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • adversely affect the right of repayment or repurchase, if any, at the option of the holder after such obligation arises, impair the right of any holder to receive payment of principal or interest, or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, any payment under any sinking fund or amend the contractual right expressly set forth in the indenture or the debt securities to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or after the stated maturity thereof (or, in the case of redemption, on or after the redemption date);

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • reduce the percentage of holders whose consent is required for modification or amendment of the indenture or for waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • modify the provisions that require holder consent to modify or amend the indenture or that permit holders to waive compliance with certain provisions of the indenture or certain defaults,

without in each case obtaining the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security issued under the indenture affected by the modification or amendment.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the indenture also contains provisions permitting the Issuer and the Trustee, without the consent of the holders of any debt securities issued under the indenture, to modify or amend the indenture, among other things:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to evidence the succession of another entity to the Issuer under the indenture and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Issuer in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to add to the covenants for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power herein conferred upon the Issuer;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to add any additional Events of Default;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to change or eliminate any of the provisions of the indenture, *provided* that any such change or elimination shall become effective only when there are no outstanding debt securities of any series created prior to the execution of such supplemental indenture that is entitled to the benefit of such provision and as to which such supplemental indenture would apply;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to secure the debt securities;

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to establish the form or terms of the debt securities;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to evidence and provide for the acceptance of appointment hereunder by a successor trustee and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture necessary to provide for or facilitate the administration of the trusts by more than one trustee;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to cure any ambiguity, omission, defect or inconsistency or to correct or supplement any provision in the indenture which may be defective or which may be inconsistent with any other provision in the indenture, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the indenture;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to supplement any of the provisions of the indenture to such extent necessary to permit or facilitate the defeasance and discharge of the debt securities, *provided* that any such action does not adversely affect the interests of the holders of the debt securities in any material respect;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to change any place or places where the principal of and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on the debt securities shall be payable, the debt securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer, the debt securities may be surrendered for exchange, and notices and demands to or upon the Issuer may be served;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to conform the text of the indenture or the debt securities to any provision of the section regarding the description of the notes contained in the prospectus supplement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to make any amendment to the provisions of the indenture relating to the transfer and legending of debt securities as permitted by the indenture, including, without limitation to facilitate the issuance and administration of the debt securities; *provided*, *however*, that (i) compliance with the indenture as so amended would not result in debt securities being transferred in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable securities law and (ii) such amendment does not materially and adversely affect the rights of holders to transfer debt securities; or

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • to add guarantees with respect to the debt securities of any series under the indenture or to add to the covenants of the Issuer such further covenants, restrictions, conditions or provisions for the protection of the holders of the debt securities of any series.

Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive the compliance of the Issuer with certain covenants and change of control provisions, and certain other provisions of the indenture and, if specified in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities, any additional covenants applicable to the debt securities of such series. The holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may, on behalf of all holders of debt securities of that series, waive any past default under the indenture with respect to debt securities of that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on debt securities of that series or, in the case of any debt securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for other securities or property, a default in any such conversion or exchange, or a default in respect of a covenant or provision which cannot be modified or amended without the consent of the holder of each outstanding debt security of the affected series.

#### Satisfaction, Discharge and Defeasance
Unless otherwise provided in the applicable prospectus supplement, the Issuer may discharge certain obligations to holders of the debt securities of a series that have not already been delivered to the Trustee for cancellation and that either have become due and payable or will become due and payable within one year (or scheduled for redemption within one year) by depositing with the Trustee, in trust, funds in U.S. dollars in an amount sufficient to pay the entire indebtedness including the principal, premium, if any, and interest to the date of such deposit (if the debt securities have become due and payable) or to the maturity thereof or the redemption date of the debt securities of that series, as the case may be.

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

The indenture provides that the Issuer may elect either (1) to defease and be discharged from any and all obligations with respect to the debt securities of a series (except for, among other things, obligations to register the transfer or exchange of the debt securities, to replace temporary or mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen debt securities, to maintain an office or agency with respect to the debt securities and to hold moneys for payment in trust) ("legal defeasance") or (2) to be released from its obligations to comply with the restrictive covenants under the indenture, and any omission to comply with such obligations will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of a series and clauses (3) and (6) under "— Events of Default" will no longer be applied ("covenant defeasance"). Legal defeasance or covenant defeasance, as the case may be, will be conditioned upon, among other things, the irrevocable deposit by the Issuer with the Trustee, in trust, of an amount in U.S. dollars, or U.S. government obligations, or both, or other applicable currency or government obligations as set forth in a prospectus supplement, applicable to the debt securities of that series which through the scheduled payment of principal and interest in respect thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay the principal or premium, if any, and interest on the debt securities on the scheduled due dates therefor.

If the Issuer effects covenant defeasance with respect to the debt securities of any series, the amount in U.S. dollars, or U.S. government obligations, or both, or other applicable currency or government obligations as set forth in a prospectus supplement, on deposit with the Trustee will be sufficient, to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from such Event of Default. However, the Issuer would remain liable to make payment of such amounts due at the time of acceleration.

In the case of either legal defeasance or covenant defeasance of the debt securities of a series, the Issuer will be required to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel that the deposit and related defeasance will not cause the holders and beneficial owners of the debt securities of that series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. If the Issuer elects legal defeasance, that opinion of counsel must be based upon a ruling from the U.S. Internal Revenue Service or a change in law to that effect.

The Issuer may exercise its legal defeasance option notwithstanding its prior exercise of its covenant defeasance option.

Unless otherwise provided by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, Amended and Restated By-laws, the rules or regulations of any stock exchange applicable to the Company, applicable law or pursuant to any regulation applicable to the Company or its securities, (a) at all meetings of stockholders for the election of directors, each director shall be elected by a majority of the votes cast unless the election is contested, in which case the directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast and (b) any other question brought before any meeting of stockholders shall be determined by the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast thereon by the holders represented and entitled to vote thereon.

#### Dividends
Holders of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are, generally, entitled to such dividends, if any, as may be declared by the Company's board of directors (the "Board of Directors") from time to time in its sole discretion out of the Company's legally available assets or funds, subject to the following provisions:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • if dividends are declared on the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock that are payable in shares of common stock, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, common stock, the dividends payable to the holders of Class A Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class A Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class A Common Stock), the dividends payable to holders of Class B Common Stock shall be paid only in shares of Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Class B Common Stock), and such dividends shall be paid in the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis of the Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the same number of shares (or fraction thereof) on a per share basis of such class of common stock), respectively; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; • in no event shall the shares of the Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock be split, divided, or combined unless the outstanding shares of the other class shall be proportionately split, divided or combined.

Any dividends declared by the Board of Directors on a share of common stock shall be declared in equal amounts with respect to each share of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion), *provided* that in the case of dividends payable in shares of the Company's common stock, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, the Company's common stock, or dividends or other distributions (including, without limitation, any distribution pursuant to a stock dividend or a "spin-off," "split-off" or "split-up" reorganization or similar transaction) payable in shares or other equity interests of any corporation or other entity which immediately prior to the time of the distribution is a subsidiary of News Corp and which possesses authority to issue class A Common Stock or equity interests and class B Common Stock or equity interests (or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, such shares or equity interests) with voting characteristics identical or comparable to those of News Corp Class A Common Stock and News Corp Class B Common Stock, respectively, such dividends shall be paid as provided for in the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, including the limitations described above.

#### Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws

#### Size of Board and Vacancies; Removal
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock then outstanding, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide that the total number of directors constituting the entire Board of Directors shall be not less than three (3), with the then-authorized number of directors being fixed from time to time exclusively by the Board of Directors. Subject to the special rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

or any vacancies in the Board of Directors resulting from death, resignation, retirement, disqualification, removal from office or other cause shall be filled solely by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office, even though less than a quorum of the Board of Directors. Any director so chosen shall hold office until the next election of directors and until his or her successor shall be elected and qualified. No decrease in the number of directors shall shorten the term of any incumbent director.

#### Stockholder Action by Written Consent
Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Company's stockholders may act only at an annual or special meeting of stockholders and may not act by written consent.

#### Amendment of By-laws
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide that the Board of Directors is authorized to adopt, repeal, alter or amend the Amended and Restated By-laws by a vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors. In addition to any requirements of law and any other provision of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company's stockholders may, with the affirmative vote of holders of 65% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the Amended and Restated By-laws.

#### Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the affirmative vote of the holders of 65% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class, is required to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, certain provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation.

#### Transfer Restrictions
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that an Owner (as defined therein) of shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock may not sell, exchange or otherwise transfer Ownership (as defined therein) of such shares to any person who has made an Offer (as defined therein) pursuant to such Offer unless such Offer relates to both Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, or another Offer or Offers are contemporaneously made with such Offer by such person such that, between all the Offers, they relate to both Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock, and the terms and conditions of such Offer or Offers as they relate to each of the shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock are Comparable (as defined therein).

Additionally, the acquisition of interests in securities of News Corp is subject to the Australian *Foreign Acquisitions and Takeovers Act 1975* (Cth) ("FATA"). Given that News Corp owns Australian media businesses, the acquisition by a "foreign person" (within the meaning of the FATA) of 20% or more of News Corp's securities will constitute a "notifiable action" and "significant action" under the FATA and therefore the acquisition can only be made with prior approval from the Australian Treasurer under the FATA. Failure to obtain such prior approval is an offence and also will entitle the Australian Treasurer, upon a determination that the acquisition is contrary to Australia's national interest, to order the divestment of the securities that have been acquired. The Restated Certificate of Incorporation grants the Board of Directors the power to refuse to permit or honor transfers of the Company's shares, or to redeem shares, where such transfers could result in any regulatory violation or certain other adverse consequences to the Company.

#### Stockholder Meetings and Requirements for Advance Notice of Stockholder Nominations and Proposals
Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws provide that special meetings of stockholders (i) may be called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the total number of directors then constituting the entire Board of Directors, (ii) may be called by the chair or a vice or deputy chair of the Board of Directors or (iii) shall be

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

called by the secretary of News Corp upon the written request of holders of record of not less than 20% of the outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock, proposing a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL at such special meeting, *provided* that (a) no stockholder may submit a special meeting request pursuant to clause (iii) without first submitting a request, in proper written form, to the secretary of News Corp, that the Board of Directors fix a record date for determining stockholders entitled to submit a special meeting request, (b) no such special meeting of stockholders shall be called pursuant to clause (iii) if the written request for a special meeting by such holders is received less than 135 days prior to the first anniversary of the date of the preceding annual meeting of stockholders of News Corp and (c) any special meeting called pursuant to clause (iii) shall be held not later than 100 days following receipt of the written request by such holders, on such date and at such time and place as determined by the Board of Directors.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, the Amended and Restated By-laws contain advance-notice and other procedural requirements that apply to stockholder nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors at any annual meeting of stockholders and to stockholder proposals that stockholders take any other action at any annual meeting. In the case of any annual meeting, a stockholder proposing to nominate a person for election to the Board of Directors or proposing other business must give the Company's secretary written notice of the proposal at the Company's principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the 90th day, nor earlier than the close of business on the 120th day, prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year's annual meeting. These stockholder proposal deadlines are subject to exceptions if the annual meeting date is set more than 30 days before or 70 days after such anniversary date, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, in which case notice by such stockholder, to be timely, must be so delivered not earlier than the close of business on the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to the date of such annual meeting, or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such annual meeting is first made. If a special meeting of stockholders is called for the election of directors, a stockholder proposing to nominate a person for that election must give the Company's secretary written notice of the proposal at the Company's principal executive offices not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such special meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. The Amended and Restated By-laws prescribe specific information that any such stockholder notice must contain, including, without limitation, certain additional background information regarding the proposing stockholders, proposed nominees or business, as applicable, and other persons related to such matter, and other specified matters.

#### Authorized but Unissued Shares
Our authorized but unissued shares of common stock, Series Common Stock and Preferred Stock will be available for future issuance generally without the approval of the Company's stockholders. The Company may use additional shares for a variety of purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, to fund acquisitions and as employee compensation. The existence of authorized but unissued shares of common stock, Series Common Stock and Preferred Stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise.

#### Liquidation
In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of News Corp, after distribution in full of the preferential and/or other amounts to be distributed to the holders of shares of any outstanding series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock, Class B Common Stock and, to the extent fixed by the Board of Directors with respect thereto, the Series Common Stock and Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive all of the Company's remaining assets available for distribution to its stockholders, ratably in proportion to the number of shares held by them (or, with respect to any series of the Series Common Stock or Preferred Stock, as so fixed by the Board of Directors).

#### Preferred Stock and Series Common Stock
The Restated Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Board of Directors to designate and issue from time to time one or more series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock without stockholder

------

[**TABLE OF CONTENTS**](#TOC3)

approval, *provided* that the Board of Directors shall not issue any shares of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock which entitle the holders thereof to more than one vote per share without an affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the capital stock of News Corp entitled to vote generally in the election of directors. Under the terms of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Board of Directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by the DGCL and by the Restated Certificate of Incorporation, to issue up to twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of Preferred Stock and up to twenty-five million (25,000,000) shares of Series Common Stock, each in one or more series, without further action by the holders of the Company's common stock. The Board of Directors is vested with the authority to fix by resolution the designations, preferences and relative, participating, optional or other special rights, and such qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, including, without limitation, redemption rights, dividend rights, liquidation preferences and conversion or exchange rights of any class or series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, and to fix the number of classes or series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, the number of shares constituting any such class or series and the voting powers for each class or series.

The Board of Director's authority to issue Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock could potentially be used to discourage attempts by third parties to obtain control of the Company through a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise by making such attempts more difficult or more costly. See "Anti-Takeover Effects of Various Provisions of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated By-laws" The Board of Directors may issue Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock with voting rights or conversion rights that, if exercised, could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of common stock.

#### No Preemptive Rights
No holder of any News Corp capital stock has any preemptive rights to subscribe to any News Corp securities of any kind or class.
