Acquisitions, Disposals and Other Transactions ACQUISITIONS, DISPOSALS AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS
The Company’s acquisitions support the Company’s strategy to strengthen its core brands, grow its digital businesses and selectively enhance production capabilities for its digital and linear platforms. The Company records any noncontrolling interests in an acquiree at their acquisition date fair value. When there is a business combination, the initial accounting, including the allocation of the consideration transferred, is based on provisional amounts. The amounts allocated to intangible assets and goodwill, the estimates of useful lives and the related amortization expense are subject to changes pending the completion of the final valuations of certain assets and liabilities. A change in the allocation of consideration transferred and any estimates of useful lives could result in a change in the value allocated to the intangible assets that could impact future amortization expense.
During fiscal 2026, the Company’s acquisitions were not material. During fiscal 2025, the Company acquired controlling ownership interests in two digital media companies. The incremental revenues and Segment EBITDA (as defined in Note 17—Segment Information) related to the fiscal 2026 and 2025 acquisitions, included in the Company's results of operations, were not material individually or in the aggregate. During fiscal 2024, the Company made no acquisitions.

On June 14, 2026, the Company and Roku, Inc. (“Roku”) entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) under which the Company has agreed to acquire Roku for a combination of cash and FOX Class A Common Stock (the “Roku Transaction” or the “Merger”). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, FOX will pay $96.00 in cash and 0.9693 shares of FOX Class A Common Stock for each share of Roku Class A Common Stock and Roku Class B Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the merger. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted. Following the completion of the Merger, Roku will be a wholly-owned subsidiary of FOX.
Each of the Boards of Directors of FOX and Roku have unanimously approved the transaction, which is also subject to requisite approval by FOX and Roku stockholders, clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, the receipt of consents or approvals under certain other antitrust laws and certain investment screening laws and other customary conditions. The Merger Agreement contains customary termination rights and provides that each party will be required to pay the other party a termination fee of approximately $866 million if the Merger Agreement is terminated in certain circumstances, including due to a change in the recommendation of its board of directors. In addition, FOX will be required to pay Roku a termination fee of approximately $1.2 billion if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances related to the failure to obtain certain regulatory approvals or upon the entry of a permanent restraint under certain antitrust laws or investment screening laws.
