About 0.2% of the shares they held or received (after tax withholding) during the period. The usual measure, against starting holdings alone, can't be used here because most of the shares sold arrived during the period.
No officer or director trades were reported for the past 30 days. The most recent before that:

"% of total stake" is the shares in this event against all the vested shares the person held that day, across every share class and holding entity, after that day's vesting. "n/a" means the person's holdings don't reconcile, or the row is a purchase. "Holdings record incomplete" means more shares were sold than the filings show the person held that day, so a percentage would be wrong.
Percentages cover 7 of 13 officers and directors. 6 are left out Disclosed company stock is not an insider's whole wealth.i
Left out: Keith Murdoch (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Robert Thomson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2020); Ana Pessoa, Masroor Siddiqui and David Kline (held no vested shares at the start); Natalie Bancroft (most holdings were last confirmed in 2014).
Officers and directors, past 12 months. Each bar is the insider's vested stake at the start of the period (Oct 8, 2025). The gold part is what they sold.
Officers and directors, Oct 2025 to Oct 2026. Each sale is counted once: under a disclosed plan, else to cover taxes, else no plan disclosed.
LGC Holdco, LLC, MURDOCH FAMILY TRUST and MFT SH Family Trust reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months. Large shareholders and the funds or companies that board members represent are not part of management, so they are left out of the figures above.
No. Robert Thomson reported no open-market sales in the past 12 months.
Filings rarely give a reason, and we don't guess at one. What they show is how the sales were made: 0% of sales by value ran under 10b5-1 trading plans disclosed in the filings and 100% had no disclosed plan. A trading plan schedules sales in advance.
No. Officers and directors reported no purchases in the past 12 months.
About 0.2% of the shares they held or received (after tax withholding) during the period. The usual measure, against starting holdings alone, can't be used here because most of the shares sold arrived during the period. That covers the 12 months to Oct 8, 2026 and counts vested shares reported on SEC Forms 3, 4 and 5, which is not an insider's whole wealth.

13 of 13 insiders fully reconciled: starting holdings plus reported transactions match ending holdings (13 exactly, 0 with a minor or footnoted difference). Percentages cover 7 of 13 officers and directors. Left out: Keith Murdoch (most holdings were last confirmed in 2022); Robert Thomson (most holdings were last confirmed in 2020); Ana Pessoa, Masroor Siddiqui and David Kline (held no vested shares at the start); Natalie Bancroft (most holdings were last confirmed in 2014). "Still held" compares ending with starting vested shares; a plus sign means the holding grew.
Officer and director open-market sales: $3.2M across 110,779 shares. Plan status and stated purpose are separate questions, and a sale can have both.
Sales with no 10b5-1 plan and no tax reference in the filing. $1.5M of it is David Pitofsky. No plan disclosed is a statement about the filing, not about why the sale happened. Largest such sale: David Pitofsky, Aug 17, 2026
393,996 shares ($11.5M) were withheld by the company for taxes, which isn't a market sale.
Gifts the filings describe as charitable. Gifts are not sales and are not included in the sale totals.

Open-market sales (Form 4 code S) by people who were officers or directors, in split-adjusted shares. Earlier years include people who have since left. A sale that an outside holder also reports (a family trust, a fund) is counted with outside holders in every year. Shares, not dollars, are compared, so a change in the stock price doesn't look like a change in selling. Years the filings don't fully cover are shown but left out of the average.
Every officer and director reconciles for this period.
Inferred rename: "G&CM Trust" is treated as the same holder as "GRCLT LLC", because the old name was never reported again and the new one opened with the same balance (2,182,358 shares). Old name, new name
External context: we only cite outside events when a documented connection exists. None is shown for this period.
All 816 Forms 3, 4 and 5 filed for News Corp (SEC CIK 1564708) from Jun 18, 2013 to Oct 2, 2026, retrieved from SEC EDGAR on Oct 8, 2026. Prices are the ones reported in each filing, often weighted averages. 2 filings were left out because News Corp filed them as an owner of another company's stock.
Holdings. Each holding line (a share class plus an owner, such as a trust or LLC) carries its last reported balance forward. Entities first reported during the period start at zero, so transfers between an insider's own trusts don't count as selling. Lines not reported for three years or more are listed separately and left out of totals.
Sales. A sale counts as under a 10b5-1 plan if its footnote cites one or the filing's Rule 10b5-1 box is checked, and as tax-related if its footnote cites tax obligations or sell-to-cover. Shares withheld by the company for taxes are listed separately. Sales with neither attribute are labeled "no plan disclosed".
