<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><FONT style="font-size: 10pt"><B>Item&nbsp;8.01 Other Events.</B>
</FONT>

<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">On August&nbsp;7, 2018, Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. (&#147;21CF&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;) issued a press release
announcing that it has posted an offer document (the &#147;Offer Document&#148;) and a form of acceptance to
accept the offer (the &#147;Form of Acceptance&#148;) to shareholders of Sky plc (&#147;Sky&#148;) in respect of its
previously announced cash offer for the fully diluted share capital of Sky which the Company and
its affiliates do not already own (the &#147;Sky Acquisition&#148;) at a price of &#163;14.00 for each Sky share
(the &#147;Offer&#148;), that would be implemented by way of a takeover offer.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">It is a requirement of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the &#147;City Code&#148;) that the Company
publish an offer document in respect of its previously announced cash offer by no later than August
9, 2018 (being the date falling 28&nbsp;days after the satisfaction or waiver of the last outstanding
pre-condition to the previously announced cash offer). The Company satisfied this requirement by
posting the Offer Document and Form of Acceptance.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company announced that it intends to implement the Sky Acquisition by way of a takeover offer
within the meaning of Part&nbsp;28 of the Companies Act 2006 (the &#147;Act&#148;) rather than by means of a
scheme of arrangement in accordance with Part&nbsp;26 of the Act, which was the proposed structure of
the Sky Acquisition prior to the announcement.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Sky Acquisition is conditional on, among other things, the Company securing valid acceptances
of the Offer in respect of Sky shares which represent 75% or more of the Sky shares to which the
Offer relates. The Company reserves the right to reduce this acceptance condition to a level which
is not less than a simple majority of all Sky shares (including those held by the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries).


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Company notes that, in accordance with Rule&nbsp;32.1 of the City Code, the deadline for publication
of a revised offer document is&nbsp; September&nbsp;22, 2018, or such later date as the UK Panel on Takeovers
and Mergers may determine in accordance with the City Code.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">The Sky Acquisition is subject to the full terms and conditions set out in the Offer Document and
Form of Acceptance. A copy of the Company&#146;s press release is filed as Exhibit&nbsp;99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt"><U><B>Cautionary Notes on Forward Looking Statements</B></U>


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">This announcement and the Offer Document may contain certain forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of Section&nbsp;21E of the US Exchange Act, and Section&nbsp;27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of 21CF or Sky
and certain plans and objectives of 21CF with respect thereto. All statements other than statements
of historical fact included in this document may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements also often use words such as &#147;anticipate&#148;, &#147;target&#148;, &#147;expect&#148;, &#147;estimate&#148;, &#147;intend&#148;,
&#147;plan&#148;, &#147;goal&#148;, &#147;believe&#148;, &#147;hope&#148;, &#147;aims&#148;, &#147;continue&#148;, &#147;will&#148;, &#147;may&#148;, &#147;should&#148;, &#147;would&#148;, &#147;could&#148;,
or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements (including those relating to the
consummation of the Sky Acquisition and the anticipated benefits thereof) by their nature address
matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. These and other forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding any failure to complete the Sky Acquisition or to make any filing or
take any other action required to complete the Sky Acquisition in a timely manner or at all, are
subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors. A number of important factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking
statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: (i)&nbsp;the risk that the Sky
Acquisition may not be completed on anticipated terms and timing or at all, (ii)&nbsp;the ability of Sky
and 21CF to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated benefits, (iii)&nbsp;the
risk that disruptions from the Sky Acquisition or risks associated with future business
combinations or dispositions will harm Sky&#146;s or 21CF&#146;s businesses, (iv)&nbsp;legislative, regulatory,
economic, political and market developments, (v)&nbsp;changes in the global, political, economic,
business and competitive environments, market and regulatory forces, and unpredictability and
severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of
war or hostilities, (vi)&nbsp;the risks due to fluctuations in exchange and interest rates, and (vii)
the risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors set forth in the public filings made by Sky
and the public filings with the SEC made by 21CF, including the section titled &#147;Risk Factors&#148; in
21CF&#146;s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2017 and quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September&nbsp;30, 2017, December&nbsp;31, 2017 and March&nbsp;31, 2018
and any updating information in subsequent SEC filings. While the list of factors presented here is
considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all
potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to
the realization of forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
information, plans and estimates at the date of this document. Due to such uncertainties and risks,
readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this document. 21CF and Sky disclaim any obligation to update any
forward-looking or other statements contained in this document, except as required by applicable
law.

Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 7, 2018, Twenty-First Century Fox, Inc. ("21CF" or the "Company") issued a press release
announcing that it has posted an offer document (the "Offer Document") and a form of acceptance to
accept the offer (the "Form of Acceptance") to shareholders of Sky plc ("Sky") in respect of its
previously announced cash offer for the fully diluted share capital of Sky which the Company and
its affiliates do not already own (the "Sky Acquisition") at a price of £14.00 for each Sky share
(the "Offer"), that would be implemented by way of a takeover offer.
It is a requirement of the City Code on Takeovers and Mergers (the "City Code") that the Company
publish an offer document in respect of its previously announced cash offer by no later than August
9, 2018 (being the date falling 28 days after the satisfaction or waiver of the last outstanding
pre-condition to the previously announced cash offer). The Company satisfied this requirement by
posting the Offer Document and Form of Acceptance.
The Company announced that it intends to implement the Sky Acquisition by way of a takeover offer
within the meaning of Part 28 of the Companies Act 2006 (the "Act") rather than by means of a
scheme of arrangement in accordance with Part 26 of the Act, which was the proposed structure of
the Sky Acquisition prior to the announcement.
The Sky Acquisition is conditional on, among other things, the Company securing valid acceptances
of the Offer in respect of Sky shares which represent 75% or more of the Sky shares to which the
Offer relates. The Company reserves the right to reduce this acceptance condition to a level which
is not less than a simple majority of all Sky shares (including those held by the Company and its
wholly-owned subsidiaries).
The Company notes that, in accordance with Rule 32.1 of the City Code, the deadline for publication
of a revised offer document is  September 22, 2018, or such later date as the UK Panel on Takeovers
and Mergers may determine in accordance with the City Code.
The Sky Acquisition is subject to the full terms and conditions set out in the Offer Document and
Form of Acceptance. A copy of the Company's press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
Cautionary Notes on Forward Looking Statements
This announcement and the Offer Document may contain certain forward-looking statements, within the
meaning of Section 21E of the US Exchange Act, and Section 27A of the US Securities Act of 1933, as
amended, with respect to the financial condition, results of operations and business of 21CF or Sky
and certain plans and objectives of 21CF with respect thereto. All statements other than statements
of historical fact included in this document may be forward-looking statements. Forward-looking
statements also often use words such as "anticipate", "target", "expect", "estimate", "intend",
"plan", "goal", "believe", "hope", "aims", "continue", "will", "may", "should", "would", "could",
or other words of similar meaning. Forward-looking statements (including those relating to the
consummation of the Sky Acquisition and the anticipated benefits thereof) by their nature address
matters that are, to different degrees, uncertain. These and other forward-looking statements,
including statements regarding any failure to complete the Sky Acquisition or to make any filing or
take any other action required to complete the Sky Acquisition in a timely manner or at all, are
subject to risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors. A number of important factors could
cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed in any such forward-looking
statements. These risk factors include, but are not limited to: (i) the risk that the Sky
Acquisition may not be completed on anticipated terms and timing or at all, (ii) the ability of Sky
and 21CF to integrate the businesses successfully and to achieve anticipated benefits, (iii) the
risk that disruptions from the Sky Acquisition or risks associated with future business
combinations or dispositions will harm Sky's or 21CF's businesses, (iv) legislative, regulatory,
economic, political and market developments, (v) changes in the global, political, economic,
business and competitive environments, market and regulatory forces, and unpredictability and
severity of catastrophic events, including, but not limited to, acts of terrorism or outbreak of
war or hostilities, (vi) the risks due to fluctuations in exchange and interest rates, and (vii)
the risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other factors set forth in the public filings made by Sky
and the public filings with the SEC made by 21CF, including the section titled "Risk Factors" in
21CF's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2017 and quarterly reports on
Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2017, December 31, 2017 and March 31, 2018
and any updating information in subsequent SEC filings. While the list of factors presented here is
considered representative, no such list should be considered to be a complete statement of all
potential risks and uncertainties. Unlisted factors may present significant additional obstacles to
the realization of forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based on
information, plans and estimates at the date of this document. Due to such uncertainties and risks,
readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking statements, which speak
only as of the date of this document. 21CF and Sky disclaim any obligation to update any
forward-looking or other statements contained in this document, except as required by applicable
law.
