          businesses in a number of ways, including those described below:</div>

        <div style="text-align: left; margin-left: 27pt;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />

          as a result of widespread business closures, social distancing measures and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. However, the Company has seen increases in digital paid subscribers, including at the <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">Wall Street Journal</span>, <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">The Times</span> and <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">The Sunday Times</span>, as well as digital audience gains at online versions of its news properties, as people look to its quality journalism for reliable information.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />
          </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />
          </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">Subscription Video Services</span>: The Company expects the cancellation or postponement of sports events for which it has broadcast rights to
          adversely affect subscription revenue from broadcast and Kayo subscribers and, together with adverse economic conditions, to negatively impact advertising revenue.&#160; In addition, closures of pubs and clubs and lower occupancy at hotels throughout
          Australia are expected to adversely impact commercial subscription revenues.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />
          </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />
          </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">Book Publishing</span>: Sales are expected to be adversely affected by shipping restrictions and delays imposed by online retailers, as well
          as closures of brick-and-mortar retail stores. However,&#160;in recent weeks&#160;the Company&#160;has seen an increase in&#160;sales of digital formats&#160;of its titles, which remain readily available from online retailers.<br />
          <span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />
          </span><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-style: italic;">Digital Real Estate Services</span>: The real estate markets in both Australia and the U.S. have been negatively impacted as a result of
          social distancing measures, business closures and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19.&#160; Weakness in new listing volumes and other adverse effects, as well as measures the Company has taken to support its customers in these challenging
          times, including re-list and re-upgrade offers for new listings and price concessions, are expected to adversely affect revenues. </div>

        <div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;">The Company is working proactively to offset a portion of anticipated revenue losses by reducing variable costs and implementing

          </span>The ultimate impact of the&#160;COVID-19&#160;pandemic, including the extent of adverse impacts on the Company&#8217;s businesses, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on, among other things, the duration and spread of the pandemic,
          the impact of governmental actions and consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak and global economic conditions, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be
          predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic could also further disrupt global financial and capital markets, which could negatively affect the Company if it impacts the availability and cost of financing or results in significant and adverse exchange rate
          fluctuations.&#160; The evolving and uncertain nature of this situation makes it challenging for management to estimate the future performance of the Company&#8217;s businesses, including the supply and demand for the Company&#8217;s products and services, its
          cash flows, its advertising revenues and the impact on rights payments, which are subject to negotiation.&#160; However, the&#160;COVID-19&#160;pandemic is expected to adversely affect the Company&#8217;s business and results of operations, as described above, and
          could have a material adverse impact on the Company&#8217;s business, results of operations and financial condition, particularly over the near to medium term.<br />

        The Company expects to provide a further update in its earnings release for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Given the uncertainties described above, the Company advises investors not to rely on existing analyst earnings forecasts as they may not
        include any or all of the impacts that COVID-19 may have on the Company&#8217;s businesses.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />

        As previously disclosed, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had $1.27 billion of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. In addition, the Company has access to a committed $750 million revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn. The
        Company has no upcoming corporate debt maturities in the next 12 months.<span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif;"><br />

        financial condition or results of operations, including expected impacts from COVID-19. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors, such as
        the risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19 and the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the Company&#8217;s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) (many of which may be amplified by COVID-19), could cause
        actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. The Company does not ordinarily make projections of its future operating results, and the forward-looking statements in this document speak only as of
        this date.&#160; The Company undertakes no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
        Readers should carefully review this document and the other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.

Item 8.01
Other Events.
Impact of COVID-19
The impact of coronavirus disease 2019 ("COVID-19") and measures to prevent its spread have created significant volatility, uncertainty and economic disruption and are affecting News Corporation's (the "Company")
          businesses in a number of ways, including those described below:
News and Information Services
: The Company expects advertising and single-copy sales revenues in the segment to be adversely affected
          as a result of widespread business closures, social distancing measures and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19. However, the Company has seen increases in digital paid subscribers, including at the
Wall Street Journal
,
The Times
and
The Sunday Times
, as well as digital audience gains at online versions of its news properties, as people look to its quality journalism for reliable information.
Subscription Video Services
: The Company expects the cancellation or postponement of sports events for which it has broadcast rights to
          adversely affect subscription revenue from broadcast and Kayo subscribers and, together with adverse economic conditions, to negatively impact advertising revenue.  In addition, closures of pubs and clubs and lower occupancy at hotels throughout
          Australia are expected to adversely impact commercial subscription revenues.
Book Publishing
: Sales are expected to be adversely affected by shipping restrictions and delays imposed by online retailers, as well
          as closures of brick-and-mortar retail stores. However, in recent weeks the Company has seen an increase in sales of digital formats of its titles, which remain readily available from online retailers.
Digital Real Estate Services
: The real estate markets in both Australia and the U.S. have been negatively impacted as a result of
          social distancing measures, business closures and economic uncertainty resulting from COVID-19.  Weakness in new listing volumes and other adverse effects, as well as measures the Company has taken to support its customers in these challenging
          times, including re-list and re-upgrade offers for new listings and price concessions, are expected to adversely affect revenues.
The Company is working proactively to offset a portion of anticipated revenue losses by reducing variable costs and implementing
            cost-savings initiatives across its businesses
.
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including the extent of adverse impacts on the Company's businesses, results of operations and financial condition, will depend on, among other things, the duration and spread of the pandemic,
          the impact of governmental actions and consumer behavior in response to the pandemic, the effectiveness of actions taken to contain or mitigate the outbreak and global economic conditions, all of which are highly uncertain and cannot be
          predicted. The COVID-19 pandemic could also further disrupt global financial and capital markets, which could negatively affect the Company if it impacts the availability and cost of financing or results in significant and adverse exchange rate
          fluctuations.  The evolving and uncertain nature of this situation makes it challenging for management to estimate the future performance of the Company's businesses, including the supply and demand for the Company's products and services, its
          cash flows, its advertising revenues and the impact on rights payments, which are subject to negotiation.  However, the COVID-19 pandemic is expected to adversely affect the Company's business and results of operations, as described above, and
          could have a material adverse impact on the Company's business, results of operations and financial condition, particularly over the near to medium term.
The Company expects to provide a further update in its earnings release for the third quarter of fiscal 2020. Given the uncertainties described above, the Company advises investors not to rely on existing analyst earnings forecasts as they may not
        include any or all of the impacts that COVID-19 may have on the Company's businesses.
Liquidity
As previously disclosed, as of December 31, 2019, the Company had $1.27 billion of cash and cash equivalents on its balance sheet. In addition, the Company has access to a committed $750 million revolving credit facility, which remains undrawn. The
        Company has no upcoming corporate debt maturities in the next 12 months.
Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains statements that constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 21E of the Exchange Act and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. All statements
        that are not statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements. The words "expect," "estimate," "anticipate," "predict," "believe" and similar expressions and variations thereof are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These
        statements appear in a number of places in this document and include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of the Company, its directors or its officers with respect to, among other things, trends affecting the Company's
        financial condition or results of operations, including expected impacts from COVID-19. Readers are cautioned that any forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks and uncertainties. Many factors, such as
        the risks and uncertainties related to COVID-19 and the risks, uncertainties and other factors described in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") (many of which may be amplified by COVID-19), could cause
        actual results to differ materially from those described in these forward-looking statements. The Company does not ordinarily make projections of its future operating results, and the forward-looking statements in this document speak only as of
        this date.  The Company undertakes no obligation (and expressly disclaims any obligation) to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
        Readers should carefully review this document and the other documents filed by the Company with the SEC.
