Friday 20. June 2014 - News Corp today announced that its Board of Directors has approved an amendment to the Company's stockholder rights plan (the "Rights Plan"), which was scheduled to expire on June 28, 2014.

The amendment extends the expiration date of the Rights Plan until June 18, 2015, unless redeemed earlier by the Company as provided for in the Rights Plan.
