**Item 3.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.**

The information set forth under Item 5.03 below is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.

**Item 5.02&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.**

On November 18, 2025, News Corporation (the "Company") and Ruth Allen, Chief Human Resources Officer of the Company), entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement, to be effective as of January 1, 2026 (the "Allen Agreement"). The Allen Agreement extends Ms. Allen's term of employment until December 31, 2028 and provides for an annual base salary of $900,000; (ii) an annual bonus with a target of $900,000 (subject to pro ration for fiscal 2026); and (iii) an annual long-term equity incentive award with a target of $1,100,000, with approximately 69% of Ms. Allen's target compensation being "at risk." All bonus payments and equity grants are subject to the Company's clawback policies.

If Ms. Allen's employment is terminated by the Company other than for cause (as defined in the Allen Agreement), death or disability, or by Ms. Allen for Good Reason (as defined in the Allen Agreement), the Allen Agreement provides that Ms. Allen will receive (i) her then-current base salary and target annual bonus paid in the same manner as though she continued to be employed for 24 months following the date of termination; (ii) a pro rata portion of the annual bonus she would have earned for the fiscal year of termination had no termination occurred (a "Pro-rated Annual Bonus"), as well any prior year bonus amount to the extent unpaid as of the date of termination; (iii) continued vesting of equity incentive awards granted prior to the date of termination in the same manner as though she continued to be employed for two years following the date of termination, with payments made at the same times they would have been made had Ms. Allen continued to be employed through such date; and (iv) Company-paid premiums under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended, for Ms. Allen and her eligible dependents for up to18 months following the date of termination. The Allen Agreement also provides for a transition period of up to six months, in the event of termination in connection with the commencement of a Board-approved successor Chief Human Resources Officer. If Ms. Allen's employment is terminated due to her death or disability, she or her surviving spouse or estate, as applicable, would be entitled to: (i) in the case of death, salary continuation for up to 12 months; and (ii) any Pro-rated Annual Bonus and unpaid prior year bonus. If, following the completion of the term under the Allen Agreement on December 31, 2028, Ms. Allen is not offered a new employment agreement by the Company on terms at least as favorable to her as the terms set forth in the Allen Agreement, and Ms. Allen is subsequently terminated without cause, then she will be entitled to receive the payments and benefits summarized above with respect to a termination by the Company other than for cause (using the same base salary and target annual bonus as in effect immediately prior to the expiration of the term on December 31, 2028). Payment of any compensation or benefits upon termination is subject to Ms. Allen's execution of the Company's then-standard separation agreement and general release and continued compliance with the terms therein. The Allen Agreement continues to have confidentiality, non-competition and other covenants to protect the Company.

In addition, the Allen Agreement provides that if Ms. Allen is entitled to receive any "excess parachute payments" under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, in connection with a change in control, those payments will either be (i) reduced below the applicable threshold, or (ii) paid in full, whichever is more favorable for Ms. Allen on a net after-tax basis. Ms. Allen is not entitled to any golden parachute excise tax or other tax "gross-up" payments.

**Item 5.03&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.**

The Company held its Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") on November 19, 2025.

On November 19, 2025, to effect the Proposed Amendments, the Company filed a Certificate of Amendment of the Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Certificate of Amendment") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which became effective upon its filing. On the same day, the Company subsequently filed a Restated Certificate of Incorporation of the Company (the "Restated Certificate of Incorporation") with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which incorporated the Certificate of Amendment and became effective upon its filing.

Except as otherwise provided for or fixed pursuant to the provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock) relating to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock to elect additional directors, 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.

Except with respect to directors who may be elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock (the "Preferred Stock Directors") or by holders of any series of Series Common Stock (the "Series Common Stock Directors"), the directors of the Corporation shall be elected annually at each annual meeting of stockholders of the Corporation. The directors will hold office for a term of one year or until their respective successors are elected and qualified, subject to such director's earlier death, resignation, disqualification or removal.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock then outstanding, newly created directorships resulting from any increase in the authorized number of directors 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.

Except for such additional directors, if any, as are elected by the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, any director, or the entire Board of Directors, may be removed from office at any time by the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the total voting power of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors ("Voting Stock"), voting together as a single class. At any time that there shall be three or fewer stockholders of record, directors may be removed with or without cause.

Except as otherwise provided by the Board of Directors in the resolution or resolutions establishing such series, whenever the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock having such right to elect additional directors are divested of such right pursuant to the provisions of such stock, the terms of office of all such additional directors elected by the holders of such stock, or elected to fill any vacancies resulting from the death, resignation, disqualification or removal of such additional directors, shall forthwith terminate and the total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall be reduced accordingly.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, whenever the holders of outstanding shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock issued by the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a series or as a separate class with one or more such other series, to elect directors at an annual or special meeting of stockholders, the election, term of office, removal, filling of vacancies, and other features of such directorship shall be governed by the terms of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (including any Certificate of Designation relating to any series of Preferred Stock or Series of Common Stock) applicable thereto.

Section 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The election of directors need not be by written ballot.

In furtherance and not in limitation of the powers conferred upon it by law, the Board of Directors is expressly authorized to adopt, repeal, alter or amend the by-laws of the Corporation by the vote of a majority of the entire Board of Directors or such greater vote as shall be specified in the by-laws of the Corporation.

A director or officer of the Corporation shall not be liable to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or officer, except to the extent such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the DGCL as the same exists or may hereafter be amended.

## Exhibit 99.1

**Exhibit 99.1**

![image_0.jpg](image_0.jpg)<br>**Remarks of the Chair and the Chief Executive <br>Prepared for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders**

**November 19, 2025**

**CHAIR:**

News Corp has a long tradition of great journalism, profound creativity, clever innovation and entrepreneurship. Fiscal 2025 was no exception. We continue to meet the moment at a time when the media landscape is evolving rapidly. That spirit of ingenuity and purpose helped make fiscal 2025 a record year as we focused on strengthening our core pillars and deepening our digital expertise. Simply put, our robust results in fiscal 2025 are no accident.

In the age of Artificial Intelligence, human insight and judgment are crucial. Journalism, books and quality data, information and analysis are vital components of a healthy society. Intellectual property must be respected, and we will continue to fight for IP rights. That fight is important for both our company and for our broader community as well.

The strength of the company's fiscal 2025 financial performance is also a testament to the leadership across all of News Corp. I extend my thanks to our Chairman Emeritus, Rupert Murdoch, whose leadership and vision continue to inspire us. I am also grateful to our Chief Executive, Robert Thomson, for his guidance of the company. I thank our employees for their collective efforts and our loyal shareholders for their enduring faith. We remain acutely conscious of our responsibility to those investors.

**CHIEF EXECUTIVE:**

As Lachlan articulated, fiscal 2025 was an outstanding year for News Corp. We achieved record-breaking profitability on a continuing operations basis, and reported robust earnings across all four quarters. Our performance reflects the enduring value of our world-class content and the resilience of our distinguished portfolio of brands, which are thriving in the AI age.

Revenues rose 2% to nearly $8.5 billion, and Total Segment EBITDA improved 14% to just over $1.4 billion, a record for the company, while our net income from continuing operations increased 71% to $648 million.

These benchmark results enhanced our financial position and thus our ability to return capital to shareholders. That potency was reflected in our free cash flow for fiscal 2025, which was $571 million compared to $540 million in the prior year. Hence the Board authorized a new $1 billion stock repurchase program in early fiscal 2026, in addition to the approximately $300 million remaining from the previous $1 billion program authorized four years ago, and we markedly increased the rate of repurchases in the first quarter.

We remain dedicated to generating value with a focus on our three growth pillars—Dow Jones, Digital Real Estate Services and Book Publishing—which accounted for the majority of our Total Segment EBITDA for the year. The recent sale of Foxtel Group to our partners at DAZN further focused our portfolio and bolstered our cash position.

It has become clearer over the past year that discerning audiences crave valuable content amidst a morass of mediocrity and mendacity. Our journalists and writers and creators of all kinds are conscious of both the responsibility and the opportunity, cognizant that we are at an historic inflection point in the age of AI.

The value of intellectual property remains vital if we are collectively to realize our potential. Much is made of the competition with China, but America's advantage is ingenuity and creativity. To undermine that comparative advantage by stripping away IP rights is to vandalize our virtuosity.

Companies are spending tens of billions on data centers, tens of billions on chips and tens of billions on energy generation. These same companies need to spend tens of millions or more on the content crucial for their success. They also need to ensure that the information eco-system remains healthy, that there is a range of varied and verifiable sources, and that Woke AI does not become the digital default.

Turning now to our fiscal 2025 performance, Dow Jones had another strong year, fueled by growth in the Professional Information Business. The addition of Dragonfly Intelligence and Oxford Analytica further solidified Risk and Compliance as a premier source for any business aiming to thoughtfully and legally navigate complex global landscapes. And as for *The Wall Street Journal*, we reported a 10% increase in digital circulation revenues for the Dow Jones consumer division in the fourth quarter.

Digital Real Estate Services revenues rose 9% for the year, and posted increased Segment EBITDA growth of 18%. At Move, fiscal 2025 finished strongly, with fourth quarter revenue rising 3%, supported by the company's three growth areas—Rentals, New Homes and Seller. Momentum continued into the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with revenues rising 9%, the highest growth rate in nearly four years.

REA posted another healthy year in Fiscal 2025 with 12% revenue growth to $1.25 billion, alongside continued improvement in audience reach. We are pleased to welcome new Chief Executive Officer Cameron McIntyre, whose experience in driving digital businesses will be invaluable. And we sincerely thank Owen Wilson for his outstanding contributions over the last decade.

Book Publishing posted its second-best revenue year on record in fiscal 2025, along with notable Segment EBITDA growth. Performance was weighted to the first half, due to the impact of a strong front list and the success of *Hillbilly Elegy* and *Wicked*. Digital revenues expanded, supported by our partnership with Spotify, which extended its audiobook offerings across key markets.

Profitability at News Media improved, driven by editorial creativity and cost consciousness. There were also benefits to our mastheads from our digital partnerships with the principled technology platforms, and subscription growth at News UK and News Corp Australia. *The Times* and *The Sunday Times* increased their circulation base, closing the year with 640,000 paying digital subscribers, up from 594,000 a year ago.

The increased reach and the improvement in profitability over the past decade of the *New York Post* continued. The masthead plays a unique role in the New York area and well beyond. That potency will expand with the launch of the *California Post*, a new Los Angeles-based masthead, in early 2026.

To conclude, the company's impressive performance is a testament to our transformation. That success would simply not be possible without the savvy leadership of Lachlan Murdoch and the enduring resonance of our Chairman Emeritus, Rupert Murdoch, as well as the thoughtful engagement of an astute Board. We also salute the invaluable contributions of our employees around the world as we collectively remain dedicated to creating value for all our shareholders.
