In no event shall the shares of either 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.

(ii)    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 however that in the case of dividends (i) payable in shares of Common Stock of the Corporation, or securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, Common Stock of the Corporation, or (ii) payable in Comparable Securities, such dividends shall be paid as provided for in Section 4(b)(i) hereof.

(c)    Merger or Consolidation

In the event of any merger or consolidation of the Corporation with or into another entity (whether or not the Corporation is the surviving entity), the holders of the Class A Common Stock and the holders of the Class B Common Stock shall be entitled to receive substantially identical per share consideration as the per share consideration, if any, received by the holders of such other class; provided that, if such consideration shall consist in any part of voting securities (or of options, rights or warrants to purchase, or of securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, voting securities), then the Corporation may provide in the applicable merger or other agreement for the holders of shares of Class A Common Stock to receive, on a per share basis, either non-voting securities or securities with a vote comparable to the voting rights associated with the Class A Common Stock hereunder (or options, rights or warrants to purchase, or securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, nonvoting securities or securities with a vote comparable to the voting rights associated with the Class A Common Stock). Any determination as to the matters described above shall be made in good faith by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion.

If (i) any stockholder, other Owner or Proposed Transferee from whom information is requested should fail to respond to such request pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5 within the period of time (including any applicable extension thereof) determined by the Board of Directors, or (ii) whether or not any stockholder, other Owner or Proposed Transferee timely responds to any request for information pursuant to paragraph (b) of this Section 5, the Board of Directors shall conclude that effecting, permitting or honoring any Transfer or the Ownership of any shares of capital stock of the Corporation, by any such stockholder, other Owner or Proposed Transferee, could result in any Violation, or that it is in the interest of the Corporation to prevent or cure any such Violation or any situation which could result in any such Violation, or mitigate the effects of any such Violation or any situation that could result in any such Violation, then the Corporation may (A) refuse to permit any Transfer of record of shares of capital stock of the Corporation that involves a Transfer of such shares to, or Ownership of such shares by, any Disqualified Person, (B) refuse to honor any such Transfer of record effected or purported to have been effected, and in such case any such Transfer of record shall be deemed to have been void ab initio, (C) suspend those rights of stock ownership the exercise of which could result in any Violation, (D) redeem such shares in accordance with paragraph (d) of this Section 5, and/or (E) take all such other action as the Corporation may deem necessary or advisable in furtherance of the provisions of this Section 5, including, without limitation, exercising any and all appropriate remedies, at law or in equity, in any court of competent jurisdiction, against any Disqualified Person. Any such refusal of Transfer or suspension of rights pursuant to subclauses (A), (B) and (C) respectively, of the immediately preceding sentence shall remain in effect until the requested information has been received and the Board of Directors has determined that such Transfer, or the exercise of any such suspended rights, as the case may be, would not constitute a Violation.

(d)    Redemption by the Corporation. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to the contrary, but subject to the provisions of any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted pursuant to this Article IV creating any series of Series Common Stock or any series of Preferred Stock, outstanding shares of Common Stock, Series Common Stock or Preferred Stock shall always be subject to redemption by the Corporation, by action of the Board of Directors, if in the judgment of the Board of Directors such action should be taken with respect to any shares of capital stock of the Corporation of which any Disqualified Person is the stockholder, other Owner or Proposed Transferee. The terms and conditions of such redemption shall be as follows:

(1)    the redemption price of the shares to be redeemed pursuant to this paragraph (d) shall be equal to the Fair Market Value of such shares;

(2)    the redemption price of such shares may be paid in cash, Redemption Securities or any combination thereof;

(3)    if less than all such shares are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be selected in such manner as shall be determined by the Board of Directors, which may include selection first of the most recently purchased shares thereof, selection by lot or selection in any other manner determined by the Board of Directors;

(4)    at least 30 days’ written notice of the Redemption Date shall be given to the record holders of the shares selected to be redeemed (unless waived in writing by any such holder); provided that the Redemption Date may be the date on which written notice shall be given to record holders if the cash or Redemption Securities necessary to effect the redemption shall have been deposited in trust for the benefit of such record holders and subject to immediate withdrawal by them upon surrender of the stock certificates for their shares to be redeemed;

(5)    from and after the Redemption Date, any and all rights of whatever nature in respect of the shares selected for redemption (including without limitation any rights to vote or participate in dividends declared on stock of the same class or series as such shares), shall cease and terminate and the record holders of such shares shall thenceforth be entitled only to receive the cash or Redemption Securities payable upon redemption; and

(6)    such other terms and conditions as the Board of Directors shall determine.

(e)    Legends. The Corporation shall, to the extent required by law, note on the certificates of its capital stock that the shares represented by such certificates are subject to the restrictions set forth in this Section 5.

Section 1.    The business and affairs of the Corporation shall be managed by, or under the direction of, the Board of Directors. 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.

During any period when the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock have the right to elect additional directors, then upon commencement and for the duration of the period during which such right continues: (i) the then otherwise total authorized number of directors of the Corporation shall automatically be increased by such specified number of directors, and the holders of such Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, as applicable, shall be entitled to elect the additional directors so provided for or fixed pursuant to said provisions, and (ii) each such additional director shall serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, unless such director’s right to hold such office terminates earlier pursuant to said provisions, subject in all such cases to his or her earlier death, disqualification, resignation or removal. 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.    The election of directors need not be by written ballot.

Section 3.    Advance notice of nominations for the election of directors shall be given in the manner and to the extent provided in the by-laws of the Corporation.

Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, at any time that there shall be more than three stockholders of record, any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be effected at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected by any consent in writing by such stockholders. Except as otherwise required by law and subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock or Series Common Stock, special meetings of stockholders of the Corporation (a) may be called by the Board of Directors pursuant to a resolution approved by a majority of the entire Board of Directors or as otherwise provided in the by-laws of the Corporation and (b) shall be called by the Secretary of the Corporation 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 (i) no such special meeting of stockholders shall be called pursuant to this clause (b) if the written request 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 the Corporation and (ii) any special meeting called pursuant to this clause (b) 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.

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. In addition to any requirements of law and any other provision of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted pursuant to Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may be specified by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any such resolution or resolutions), the affirmative vote of holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required for stockholders to adopt, amend, alter or repeal any provision of the by-laws of the Corporation.

In addition to any requirements of law and any other provisions of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors adopted pursuant to Article IV of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation (and notwithstanding the fact that a lesser percentage may specified by law, this Restated Certificate of Incorporation or any such resolution or resolutions), the affirmative vote of the holders of sixty-five percent (65%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares of Voting Stock, voting together as a single class, shall be required to amend, alter or repeal, or adopt any provision inconsistent with, Section 5 of Article IV, Article V, Article VII, this Article VIII, or Article IX of this Restated Certificate of Incorporation. Subject to the foregoing provisions of this Article VIII, the Corporation reserves the right to amend, alter or repeal any provision contained in this Restated Certificate of Incorporation, in the manner now or hereafter prescribed by statute, and all rights conferred upon stockholders herein are subject to this reservation.

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. Any amendment, modification or repeal of the foregoing sentence shall not adversely affect any right or protection of a director or officer of the Corporation hereunder in respect of any act or omission occurring prior to the time of such amendment, modification or repeal.

The Corporation hereby elects not to be governed by Section 203 of the DGCL.

[Reserved.]

Unless the Corporation, in writing, selects or consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Corporation, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any director, officer or other employee of the Corporation to the Corporation or the Corporation’s stockholders, (iii) any action arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, or (iv) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine (or, if the Court of Chancery does not have jurisdiction, another state court or a federal court located within the State of Delaware). In addition, unless the Corporation, in writing, selects or consents to the selection of an alternative forum, the sole and exclusive forum for any complaint asserting a cause of action arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be the federal district courts of the United States of America. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to have notice of and consented to the provisions of this Article XII.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, News Corporation has caused this Restated Certificate of Incorporation to be executed by its duly authorized officer on this 19th day of November 2025.

Remarks of the Chair and the Chief Executive
Prepared for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders

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.

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.
