Item 1.

Description of Registrant’s Securities to be Registered.

On June 13, 2019, Fox Corporation (the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment to Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”) between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (the “Rights Agent”) that amends the Rights Agreement dated as of March 19, 2019 (the “Rights Agreement”) between the Company and the Rights Agent. All capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning(s) ascribed to them in the Rights Agreement.

The Amendment amends the definition of “Acquiring Person” such that a Grandfathered Stockholder may acquire additional shares of Class A Common Stock representing, in the aggregate, 1.0% of the shares of Class A Common Stock then outstanding without becoming an Acquiring Person, and to make associated changes in connection therewith.

The rights issued pursuant to the Rights Agreement are in all respects subject to and governed by the provisions of the Rights Agreement, as amended. Copies of the Rights Agreement and the Amendment are available free of charge from the Company. A copy of the Rights Agreement was previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) as Exhibit 4.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2019. A copy of the First Amendment to the Rights Agreement has been filed as Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on June 13, 2019. The foregoing descriptions of the Rights Agreement and the Amendment do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such exhibits and to the Company’s Certificate of Designation, Preferences, and Rights of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock filed on March 20, 2019, which are incorporated by reference herein.
