News Corporation Borrowings

As of June 30, 2026, News Corporation had (i) borrowings of $2.0 billion, including the current portion, consisting of its outstanding 2021 Senior Notes, 2022 Senior Notes (collectively, the “Senior Notes”) and the 2026 Term A Loans (as defined below), and (ii) $1 billion of undrawn commitments available under the 2026 Revolving Facility (as defined below).

2026 Amended and Restated Credit Agreement

In March 2026, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “2026 Credit Agreement”) that provides $1.5 billion of unsecured credit facilities (the “2026 Facilities”) to the Company to refinance its 2022 Credit Agreement and for general corporate purposes. The 2026 Facilities are comprised of a $1 billion five-year unsecured revolving credit facility (the “2026 Revolving Facility”) and a $500 million five-year unsecured term loan A credit facility (the “2026 Term A Facility,” and the loans under the 2026 Term A Facility are collectively referred to as “2026 Term A Loans”). The 2026 Revolving Facility has a sublimit of $100 million available for issuances of letters of credit. Under the 2026 Credit Agreement, the Company may request increases with respect to either of the 2026 Facilities in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $250 million.

The loans under the 2026 Revolving Facility will not amortize. The 2026 Term A Loans will amortize in equal quarterly installments in an aggregate annual amount equal to 0.0%, 2.5%, 2.5%, 5.0% and 5.0%, respectively, of the original principal amount of the 2026 Term A Facility for each 12-month period commencing on June 30, 2026. All outstanding amounts under the 2026 Credit Agreement with respect to the 2026 Facilities are due on March 27, 2031, unless earlier terminated in the circumstances set forth in the 2026 Credit Agreement. The Company may request that the maturity date of the revolving credit commitments under the 2026 Revolving Facility be extended under certain circumstances as set forth in the 2026 Credit Agreement for up to two additional one-year periods. The Company may also request that the maturity date of the 2026 Term A Facility be extended under certain circumstances as set forth in the 2026 Credit Agreement by at least one year.

Interest on borrowings is based on either (a) an Alternative Currency Term Rate formula, (b) a Term SOFR formula, (c) an Alternative Currency Daily Rate formula ((a) through (c) each, a “Relevant Rate”) or (d) the Base Rate formula, each as set forth in the 2026 Credit Agreement. The applicable margin for borrowings under the 2026 Facilities and the commitment fee for undrawn balances under the 2026 Revolving Facility are based on the pricing grid in the 2026 Credit Agreement, which varies based on the Company’s debt rating as defined in the 2026 Credit Agreement. As of June 30, 2026, the Company was paying commitment fees of 0.15% on any undrawn balance under the 2026 Revolving Facility and, with respect to any outstanding borrowings under the 2026 Facilities, an applicable margin of 0.25% for a Base Rate borrowing and 1.25% for a Relevant Rate borrowing.

The 2026 Credit Agreement contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default with customary exceptions, including limitations on the ability of the Company and the Company’s subsidiaries to incur liens, merge into or consolidate with any other entity, incur subsidiary debt or dispose of all or substantially all of its assets or all or substantially all of the stock of all subsidiaries taken as a whole. In addition, the 2026 Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain an adjusted operating income net leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0, subject to certain adjustments following a material acquisition.

Senior Notes

The Senior Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Company and rank equally in right of payment with the Company’s other senior debt, including borrowings under the 2026 Facilities. In the event of specified change in control events, the Company must offer to purchase the outstanding Senior Notes from the holders at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amount, plus any accrued and unpaid interest. There are no financial maintenance covenants with respect to the Senior Notes. The indentures governing the applicable Senior Notes contain other covenants that, among other things and subject to certain exceptions, (i) limit the Company’s ability and the ability of its subsidiaries to incur any liens securing indebtedness for borrowed money and (ii) limit the Company’s ability to consolidate or merge with or into another person or sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole).

REA Group Debt

As of June 30, 2026, REA Group had A$200 million of undrawn commitments available under its unsecured syndicated credit facility (the “2024 REA Credit Facility”). During the fiscal year ended June 30, 2026, REA Group amended its 2024 REA Credit Facility to reduce the total amount available under the facility to A$200 million. REA Group is a consolidated but non wholly-owned subsidiary of News Corp, and its indebtedness is only guaranteed by REA Group and certain of its subsidiaries and is non-recourse to News Corp.

Borrowings under the 2024 REA Credit Facility accrue interest at a rate of the Australian BBSY plus a margin of between 1.45% and 2.35%, depending on REA Group’s net leverage ratio. The 2024 REA Credit Facility carries a commitment fee of 40% of the applicable margin on any undrawn balance. REA Group may request increases in the amount of the 2024 REA Credit Facility up to a maximum amount of A$500 million, subject to the terms and limitations set forth in the syndicated facility agreement.

The syndicated facility agreement governing the 2024 REA Credit Facility requires REA Group to maintain (i) a net leverage ratio of not more than 3.5 to 1.0 and (ii) an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 to 1.0. The agreement also contains certain other customary affirmative and negative covenants and events of default. Subject to certain exceptions, these covenants restrict or prohibit REA Group and its subsidiaries from, among other things, incurring or guaranteeing debt, disposing of certain properties or assets, merging or consolidating with any other person, making financial accommodation available, entering into certain other financing arrangements, creating or permitting certain liens, engaging in non-arms’ length transactions with affiliates, undergoing fundamental business changes and making restricted payments.

HarperCollins Equipment Lease

In October 2025, HarperCollins entered into a finance leasing arrangement for up to $120 million of equipment for a new warehouse (the “Equipment Lease”). Interest accrues on amounts drawn under the Equipment Lease based on the Term SOFR plus a margin of 1.475%. The Equipment Lease may be drawn on until June 30, 2028, after which lease payments commence for a term of 7 years. The lease obligations are secured by the acquired equipment, and ownership of the equipment acquired under the Equipment Lease will transfer to HarperCollins at the end of the lease term. The Equipment Lease will be classified as a finance lease on the Company’s balance sheet upon commencement.

Covenants

The Company’s borrowings and those of its consolidated subsidiaries contain customary representations, covenants and events of default, including those discussed above. If any of the events of default occur and are not cured within applicable grace periods or waived, any unpaid amounts under the applicable debt agreements may be declared immediately due and payable. The Company was in compliance with all applicable covenants at June 30, 2026.
