NEWS CORP 4

News Corp CEO Robert J. Thomson received an award of 444,341 cash‑settled performance stock units tied to Class A Common Stock following performance achievement.

On August 4, 2026, News Corp CEO Robert J. Thomson was granted 444,341 cash‑settled performance stock units, each economically equivalent to one share of the company’s Class A Common Stock, following the achievement of predetermined performance measures over a three‑year period. These units are scheduled to vest on August 15, 2026, and upon vesting they will be settled in cash rather than shares, so the transaction does not immediately change Thomson’s direct share ownership. Because the filing does not disclose a contemporaneous market price and the award is cash‑settled, the dollar value is not precisely determinable from the form, but it likely represents a material performance‑based compensation award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale.
