CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Corporate Governance and Compliance Commitment. The Company is committed to maintaining robust governance practices and a strong ethical culture that benefit the long-term interests of our stockholders. The Company, along with the Board, regularly reviews, updates and enhances its corporate governance practices and compliance and training programs, as appropriate, in light of stockholder feedback, changes in applicable laws, regulations and stock exchange requirements, and the evolving needs of the Company’s business. The Company’s corporate governance and compliance practices include:

Independent Directors. The Board considers the criteria contained in the definition of “Independent Director” as set forth in the Nasdaq Stock Market (“Nasdaq”) Listing Rule 5605(a)(2) in its determination of whether a Director shall be deemed to be independent of the Company. However, the Board may determine that a Director is not independent for any reason it deems appropriate.

			2019 Proxy Statement				7

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

During its review of Director independence, the Board considers all relevant facts and circumstances. The Board considers transactions and relationships between each Director, or any member of his or her immediate family and the Company and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The Board also examines transactions and relationships between the Directors or their affiliates and members of the Company’s senior management or their affiliates. The purpose of this review is to determine whether any such relationships or transactions are inconsistent with a determination that the Director is independent.

As a result of its review, the Board affirmatively determined that Ms. Dias and Messrs. Hernandez, Nasser and Ryan are independent of the Company and its management under the standards set forth in the Nasdaq listing rules. A majority of Directors are independent as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules and by the Statement of Corporate Governance and committee charters.

In making this determination with respect to Mr. Hernandez, the Board considered that Mr. Hernandez also serves on the Board of MGM Resorts International. The Company has adopted procedures to protect sensitive information regarding the Company’s partnership with The Stars Group on sports wagering. For example, Mr. Hernandez will not receive information about, and will recuse himself from Board deliberations on, the operations of the Stars Group partnership. Additional procedures may be adopted in the future as appropriate, and as the business of the Company or MGM Resorts International evolves. As a result, the Board determined that this matter did not interfere with the independence of Mr. Hernandez.

Board Leadership Structure. The Board is responsible for establishing and maintaining the most effective leadership structure for the Company. To retain flexibility in carrying out this responsibility, the Board does not have a policy on whether the Chairman of the Board shall be an independent member of the Board. However, pursuant to the Statement of Corporate Governance, if the Chairman is not an independent Director, an independent, non-executive Director shall be elected annually by a majority of the independent, non-executive Directors of the Board as Lead Independent Director. Since March 19, 2019, the date on which the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, Mr. K.R. Murdoch has served as Chairman and Mr. L.K. Murdoch has served as Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer.

The independent Directors have elected Mr. Nasser as the Lead Independent Director. As set forth in the Statement of Corporate Governance, the Lead Independent Director’s responsibilities include:

The Board believes that this management and Board leadership structure, combined with the oversight of the Board comprised of a majority of independent Directors, a strong Lead Independent Director with significant responsibilities and the Company’s robust corporate governance policies and procedures, effectively maintains independent oversight of management and is in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Having Messrs. K.R. Murdoch and L.K. Murdoch, who each are deeply involved with the Company’s businesses, serve as Chairman and Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, provides strong leadership to the Board in the execution of the Company’s strategy and facilitates the flow of information between the Board and management.

The Board will review its leadership structure at least annually taking into account the responsibilities of the leadership positions and the Directors qualified to hold such positions. In conducting this review, the Board will consider, among other things: (i) the policies and practices in place that provide independent Board oversight; (ii) the Company’s performance and the effect a particular leadership structure may have on that performance; (iii) the structure that serves the best interests of the Company’s stockholders; and (iv) any relevant legislative or regulatory developments.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CEO Succession Planning. The Board, with the assistance of the Compensation Committee, oversees CEO succession planning. As set forth in the Statement of Corporate Governance, the Board, in coordination with the Compensation Committee, also sees that the Company has in place appropriate steps to address emergency CEO succession planning in the event of extraordinary circumstances.

As part of the CEO continuity succession planning process, the Chief Executive Officer provides to the Compensation Committee recommendations and evaluations of appropriate candidates and their succession potential to the CEO position. The Compensation Committee reviews potential candidates with the Chief Executive Officer or other members of senior management as the Compensation Committee considers appropriate, which review includes development needs and developmental progress with respect to specific individuals. Directors engage with potential candidates at Board and committee meetings and periodically in less formal settings to allow personal assessment of candidates by the Directors. Further, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews the overall composition of the qualifications, tenure and experience of members of senior management. The Lead Independent Director also participates in the Compensation Committee’s evaluation of the performance of the Chief Executive Officer.

The Compensation Committee reports on its succession planning review to the full Board, and the full Board reviews succession planning at least annually at a regularly scheduled Board meeting.

Emergency CEO succession planning enables the Company to respond to an unexpected vacancy in the CEO position while continuing the effective operation of the Company and minimizing any potential disruption or loss of continuity to the Company’s business and operations, including in the case of a major catastrophe.

Stockholder Engagement. The Board values engaging directly with the Company’s stockholders. Since the closing of the Transaction on March 19, 2019, the Company has conducted an investor day, which provided investors with a detailed overview of the Company’s operating businesses, corporate strategy, objectives and goals. The investor day was accessible to all investors live via webcast and a replay of the event, a transcript and other investor day materials are available on the Investor Relations section of the Company’s website. In addition, the Company has participated in several investor conferences and has held numerous meetings with institutional stockholders to discuss various topics, including its financial performance, strategy, corporate governance and executive compensation program. The Company is committed to ongoing engagement with its investors on all matters, including executive compensation and governance. These engagement efforts take place through telephone calls, in-person meetings and correspondence with our investors.

Board Oversight of Risk. Risk management is primarily the responsibility of the Company’s management; however, the Board has responsibility for overseeing management’s identification and management of those risks. The Board does not view risk in isolation; it considers risks in making significant business decisions and as part of the Company’s overall business strategy. The Board uses various means to fulfill this oversight responsibility. The Board, and its committees as appropriate, regularly discuss and receive periodic updates from the Company’s Chairman, Executive Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Legal and Policy Officer, Chief Financial Officer and other members of senior management regarding significant risks to the Company, including in connection with the annual review of the Company’s business plan and its review of budgets, strategy and major transactions. These discussions include operational, strategic, legal and regulatory, financial and reputational risks, and the plans to address these risks.

Each of the Board’s committees assists the Board in overseeing the management of the Company’s risks within the areas delegated to that committee, which then reports to the full Board as appropriate. For example: the Audit Committee is responsible for risks relating to its review of the Company’s financial statements and financial reporting processes and cybersecurity; the Compensation Committee is responsible for monitoring risks associated with the design and administration of the Company’s compensation programs; and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee oversees risk as it relates to the Company’s corporate governance processes. Each committee has full access to management, as well as the ability to engage advisors. The independent Board members also discuss the Company’s significant risks when they meet in executive session without management.

Statement of Corporate Governance. The Board has adopted a Statement of Corporate Governance that sets forth the Company’s corporate governance guidelines and practices. The full text of the Statement of Corporate Governance may be found on the Company’s website at https://www.foxcorporation.com/corporate-governance/statement-corporate-governance/ and is available in print to any stockholder requesting a paper copy of the document by contacting the Secretary of the Company. Each Director has certified that he or she has reviewed the Statement of Corporate Governance, has complied with it and will comply with it.

Standards of Business Conduct. The Board has adopted a code of ethics, the Standards of Business Conduct. The Standards of Business Conduct confirm the Company’s policy to conduct its affairs in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and observe the highest standards of business ethics. The Standards of Business Conduct also apply to ensure compliance

			2019 Proxy Statement				9

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

with stock exchange requirements and to ensure accountability at a senior management level for that compliance. The Company intends that the spirit, as well as the letter, of the Standards of Business Conduct be followed by all Directors, officers and employees of the Company, its subsidiaries and divisions, including the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer. This is communicated to each new Director, officer and employee and was communicated to those in such positions at the time the Standards of Business Conduct were adopted. The full text of the Standards of Business Conduct may be found on the Company’s website at https://www.foxcorporation.com/corporate-governance/sobc/ and is available in print to any stockholder requesting a paper copy of the document by contacting the Secretary of the Company. Amendments to the Standards of Business Conduct or any grant or waiver from a provision of the Standards of Business Conduct requiring disclosure under applicable SEC rules will also be disclosed on the Company’s website.

Director Nomination Process. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee develops criteria for filling vacant Board positions, taking into consideration such factors as it deems appropriate, including the candidate’s education and background; his or her leadership and ability to exercise sound judgment; his or her general business experience and familiarity with the Company’s businesses; and whether he or she possesses unique expertise or perspective that will be of value to the Company. Candidates should not have any interests that would materially impair their ability to exercise independent judgment or otherwise discharge the fiduciary duties owed as a Director to the Company and its stockholders. All candidates must be individuals of personal integrity and ethical character, and who value and appreciate these qualities in others. It is expected that each Director will devote the necessary time to the fulfillment of his or her duties as a Director. In this regard, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will consider the number and nature of each Director’s other commitments, including other directorships. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee seeks to promote through the nomination process an appropriate diversity on the Board of professional background, experience, expertise, perspective, age, gender, ethnicity and country of citizenship. In addition, the Board evaluates diversity as part of its annual review and evaluation of the Board’s conduct and performance.

Russell Reynolds Associates Inc. has been retained to assist the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in its work in identifying and vetting candidates. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee makes its recommendation to the full Board, which makes the final determination whether to nominate or appoint Director candidates.

Stockholder Nomination Procedure. The Company’s Amended and Restated By-laws (the “By-laws”) provide procedures for stockholders to nominate persons for election as Directors.

Pursuant to the By-laws, to be timely for the 2020 Annual Meeting (as defined below), stockholder nominations must be in writing and received by the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive offices between the close of business on July 17, 2020 and close of business on August 16, 2020. Stockholder nominations must contain all information relating to the stockholder and the stockholder nominee as would be required pursuant to the By-laws. For further information, see “2020 Annual Meeting of Stockholders” below.

Director candidates recommended by stockholders should meet the Director qualifications set forth under the heading “Director Nomination Process.” Director candidates recommended by stockholders who meet these Director qualifications will be considered by the Chair of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, who will present the information on the candidate to the entire Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. All Director candidates recommended by stockholders will be considered by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee in the same manner as any other candidate.

Communication with the Board. Stockholders play an integral part in corporate governance and the Board ensures that stockholders are kept fully informed through:

It is the policy of the Company to facilitate communications of stockholders and other interested parties with the Board and its various committees. Stockholders may raise matters of concern at the annual meetings of stockholders. In addition, any stockholder or other interested party wishing to communicate with any Director, including the Lead Independent Director, any committee of the Board or the Board as a whole, may do so by submitting such communication in writing and sending it by regular mail to the attention of the appropriate party or to Mr. Jacques Nasser, Lead Independent Director, Fox Corporation, 1211 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036. This information is also posted on the Company’s website at www.foxcorporation.com.

Director Evaluation Policy. The Lead Independent Director and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are responsible for conducting an annual review and evaluation of the Board’s conduct and performance based upon completion by Directors of a self-evaluation form that includes an assessment, among other things, of the Board’s maintenance and implementation of the Standards of Business Conduct and the Company’s other corporate governance policies. The review seeks to identify specific areas, if any, in need of improvement or strengthening and culminates in a discussion by the full Board, as well as a separate discussion among the independent Directors, of the results and any actions to be taken. In addition, each standing committee of the Board evaluates its performance annually and reports to the Board on such evaluation.

Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors

Between March 19, 2019, the date on which the Company became a standalone publicly traded company, and June 30, 2019, the Board held a total of five regularly scheduled and special meetings.

Each committee is governed by a written charter approved by the Board.

The Audit Committee Charter provides that its members shall consist entirely of Directors who the Board determines are “independent” in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board determined that each member of the Audit Committee meets the foregoing independence requirements and that each member of the Audit Committee is financially literate in accordance with the Nasdaq listing rules. The Board also determined that Ms. Dias, Mr. Hernandez and Mr. Nasser are “audit committee financial experts” as defined under the SEC rules.

PROPOSAL NO. 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Subject to stockholder ratification, the Audit Committee has selected Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the books and accounts of the Company for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020. EY also audited the books and records of the Company in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 and audited the books and records of 21CF since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2002. A representative of EY is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting to respond to appropriate questions and will be given the opportunity to make a statement if the representative desires to do so.

The Board unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the proposal to ratify

Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public

accounting firm for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2020.

Fees Paid to Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm. Accordingly, the Audit Committee has appointed EY to perform audit and other permissible non-audit services for the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company has formal procedures in place for the pre-approval by the Audit Committee of all services provided by EY. These pre-approval procedures are described below under “Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures.”

The description of the fees for professional services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries by EY for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 is set forth below. No independent registered public accounting firm provided any services to the Company during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018, as the Company had not yet separated from 21CF.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

The Audit Committee has established policies and procedures under which all audit and non-audit services performed by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee’s policy provides for pre-approval of audit, audit-related, tax and certain other services specifically described by the Audit Committee on an annual basis. In addition, individual engagements anticipated to exceed pre-established thresholds, as well as certain other services, must be separately approved. The policy also provides that the Audit Committee can delegate pre-approval authority to any member of the Audit Committee provided that the decision to pre-approve is communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next meeting. The Audit Committee has delegated this responsibility to the Chair of the Audit Committee. Management has also implemented internal procedures to ensure compliance with this policy. As required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, all audit and non-audit services provided in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 have been pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with these policies and procedures. The Audit Committee also reviewed the non-audit services provided by EY during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and determined that the provision of such non-audit services was compatible with maintaining the auditor’s independence.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The following Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed to be soliciting material or to be filed with the SEC under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or incorporated by reference in any document so filed.

In accordance with its written charter, the Audit Committee assists the Board in its oversight of:

The Audit Committee provides an avenue of communication among management, the independent registered public accounting firm, the corporate auditors and the Board. Management has the primary responsibility for the preparation of the Company’s financial statements and the reporting process, including the system of internal control over financial reporting. The independent registered public accounting firm has the responsibility for the audit of those financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. The Audit Committee is directly responsible for the appointment and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm, including review of their qualifications, independence and performance and their compensation.

A discussion of the Audit Committee’s composition is included in this proxy statement in the section titled “Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors.”

In discharging its oversight responsibility as to the audit process, the Audit Committee (i) obtained from the independent registered public accounting firm a report describing all relationships between the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company that might bear on the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence and affirming its independence consistent with applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, (ii) discussed with the independent registered public accounting firm, which documented the discussion, any relationships that may impact the firm’s objectivity and independence, and (iii) considered whether the non-audit services provided to the Company by EY are compatible with maintaining the accountants’ independence. The Audit Committee reviewed with both the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors their identification of audit risks, audit plans and audit scope. The Audit Committee discussed with management, the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors the corporate audit function’s organization, responsibilities, budget and staffing.

The Audit Committee also discussed and reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm all communications required by generally accepted auditing standards, including those described in Auditing Standards No. 1301, “Communication with Audit Committees,” as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board. The Audit Committee met with each of the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors, both with management present and in private sessions without management present, to discuss and review the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of the financial statements, including the independent registered public accounting firm’s evaluation of the accounting principles, practices and judgments applied by management, the results of the corporate audit activities and the quality and adequacy of the Company’s internal controls.

The Audit Committee discussed the interim financial information contained in each of the quarterly earnings announcements with Company management and the independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also reviewed the audited financial statements of the Company as of and for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

The Audit Committee has reviewed with the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors the overall scope and specific plans for their respective audits, and the Audit Committee is monitoring the progress of both in assessing the Company’s preparedness for future compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee also reviewed any anonymous complaints received through the Alertline reporting system to assist the Audit Committee in administering the anonymous complaint procedures outlined in the Company’s Standards of Business Conduct. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act required the Audit Committee to establish procedures for the confidential submission of employee concerns regarding questionable accounting, internal controls or auditing matters.

Based on the above-mentioned review and discussions with management, the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, for filing with the SEC.

The Audit Committee annually reviews the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence and performance in connection with the Audit Committee’s determination of whether to retain EY or engage another firm. In the course of these reviews, the Audit Committee considers, among other things, such factors as:

In accordance with the SEC rules and EY’s policies, audit partners are subject to rotation requirements to limit the number of consecutive years an individual partner may provide service to our Company. For lead partners, the maximum number of consecutive years of service in that capacity is five years. The process for selection of the Company’s lead partner pursuant to this rotation policy involves meetings between the Chair and members of the Audit Committee and the candidate for the role, as well as a discussion by the full Audit Committee and with management.

Based on the above-mentioned review, the Audit Committee believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to retain EY to serve as our independent registered public accounting firm.

Accordingly, the Audit Committee also recommended the reappointment, subject to stockholder ratification, of EY as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and the Board concurred in such recommendation.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: ADVISORY VOTE TO APPROVE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION

As required pursuant to Section 14A of the Exchange Act, the Company provides our stockholders the opportunity to vote, on an advisory, nonbinding basis, on whether to approve named executive officer compensation.

As described in detail in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” the Compensation Committee seeks to closely align the interests of our named executive officers with the interests of the Company’s stockholders. The Company’s executive compensation program is designed to attract, retain and motivate top executive talent, and support both short-term and long-term growth for stockholders. In light of the Transaction, our fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 is not representative of the compensation programs the Compensation Committee will establish for future fiscal years for our named executive officers, as many decisions regarding the compensation granted to our named executive officers for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 were made by 21CF prior to, and, for certain elements, in connection with, the closing of the Transaction.

The Board recommends that stockholders indicate their support for the Company’s compensation of its named executive officers. The vote on this resolution, commonly known as a “say on pay” resolution, is not intended to address any specific element of compensation but rather the overall named executive officer compensation program as described in this proxy statement. Although this vote is advisory and not binding on the Company or the Board, the Compensation Committee, which is responsible for developing and administering the Company’s executive compensation philosophy and program, will consider the results as part of its ongoing review of the Company’s executive compensation program.

Accordingly, we ask our stockholders to vote on the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s stockholders approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The Board unanimously recommends an advisory vote “FOR” the

approval of the compensation of our named executive officers.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Introduction

Fiscal 2019 was a transformational year for FOX in light of the Disney Merger and the Transaction. On March 19, 2019, the Company was formed and commenced its independent operations, and shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock began trading independently on The Nasdaq Global Select Market. At that time, any prior compensation arrangements our named executive officers had with 21CF were terminated. Compensation for the named executive officers up until the date of the Transaction was provided by 21CF and not by the Company. Effective as of the formation of the Company, the Compensation Committee established the Company’s compensation framework and the specific compensation elements for each of our named executive officers. Compensation elements related to the Transaction for former 21CF named executive officers were disclosed as part of the Transaction, which was approved by 99.6% of the 21CF stockholders that voted on the proposal. The compensation program for fiscal 2020 and beyond focuses on paying for performance, mitigating excessive risk taking and aligning the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders. To give initial effect to this alignment, immediately following the Transaction, our Compensation Committee approved one-time initial equity-based awards under the 2019 SAP.

Background

FOX became a standalone publicly traded company on March 19, 2019, when 21CF distributed, on a pro rata basis, all the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company to 21CF stockholders. In connection with the Transaction, the Company was formed with a focused portfolio of domestic media assets in live news and sports and original entertainment programming, including leading brands FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment and FOX Television Stations. The remaining 21CF assets were acquired by Disney through a series of transactions contemplated by the 21CF Disney Merger Agreement.

Thus, for fiscal 2019, decisions governing compensation paid to the named executive officers were made by two groups of directors: prior to the Transaction, the compensation decisions for 21CF’s named executive officers were made by the 21CF Board and the Compensation Committee of the 21CF Board (the “21CF Compensation Committee”), and following the Transaction, the compensation decisions were made by the Board and the Compensation Committee. Despite the separate involvement of 21CF and the Company in the compensation decisions for the named executive officers, SEC rules and regulations require the aggregation of our named executive officer’s compensation from 21CF and the Company as if it were fully granted by the Company, which it was not. Because of the Transaction, fiscal 2019 is a transitional year in which the compensation objectives of 21CF and the Company were different. While the compensation decisions made by 21CF and the Company were each focused on providing annual and long-term incentive programs, 21CF was particularly focused on compensation decisions relating to the successful completion of the Transaction, including the formation of the Company, and recruitment of the Company’s leadership, for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. As a result, the compensation granted to our named executive officers during fiscal 2019 prior to and upon the closing of the Transaction is not necessarily reflective of the compensation design and arrangements that the Board and Compensation Committee have established going forward.

Therefore, to provide a full explanation and understanding of the compensation payable during fiscal 2019 to our named executive officers, this Compensation Discussion and Analysis is structured in two parts. The first section describes the compensation analysis, theory and goals of the Compensation Committee from and following the Transaction, both for the Company’s portion of fiscal 2019 and looking forward to our 2020 fiscal year (“fiscal 2020”) and beyond. This section discusses the compensation to our named executive officers after March 19, 2019 and how the Compensation Committee will implement the executive compensation program for the benefit of our stockholders going forward. The second section describes compensation evaluations and decisions made by the 21CF Compensation Committee prior to the closing of the Transaction, which were primarily effectuated by 21CF. These compensation decisions were heavily influenced by 21CF’s desire to ensure the success of the Transaction and to recruit and retain a management team that would position the Company for success from and following the Transaction. The second section should be considered against the backdrop of a unique and transformational period that unlocked significant value for stockholders and warrants specific consideration.

As required by SEC rules, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that follows and the Executive Compensation section below, including the tables that appear therein, present compensation granted to our named executive officers by 21CF prior to the Transaction.

Named Executive Officers

To lead the Company on a path of growth and success, the 21CF Board and 21CF Compensation Committee recruited to the Company an accomplished suite of senior leaders. Our lean team of multi-functional executives serves multiple roles within the Company to lead and manage one of the country’s leading news, sports and entertainment companies in a fast-changing

competitive environment. Each of our named executive officers brings institutional knowledge, breadth of expertise and superior leadership talent to the Company. Additionally, our named executive officers have increased cross functional responsibility. This Compensation Discussion and Analysis provides a comprehensive explanation of the compensation awarded to, earned by, or paid to the individuals listed below, who are our named executive officers for fiscal 2019:

Establishing Compensation Following the Closing of the Transaction for Fiscal 2019 and Beyond

Compensation Design Principles

The Compensation Committee evaluates the compensation of our named executive officers with the goal towards (a) creating a holistic program to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders, (b) maintaining the Company’s competitive position as a best-in-class employer and (c) encouraging retention of key talent. In addition, the Compensation Committee recognizes that the roles and responsibilities of our named executive officers following the closing of the Transaction have increased when compared to the roles and responsibilities of similar executives of 21CF; therefore, the Compensation Committee seeks to motivate executives in recognition of their unique skills, broader roles and increased responsibilities. In light of these goals, the Compensation Committee designs compensation applicable to our named executive officers in accordance with the following principles:

^*85% of the Chief Executive Officer’s target direct compensation is at risk.

Fiscal 2019 Business and Management Review

The formation of FOX created a focused company that produces and distributes compelling live news and sports and entertainment content through our iconic brands, FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment and FOX Television Stations. The breadth and depth of our footprint allow us to deliver content that engages and informs audiences, develop deeper consumer relationships and create more compelling product offerings. FOX will continue to be focused on growth, investing in both organic and external opportunities, whether for acquisitions of businesses, programming, or expanding our capabilities – while maintaining an efficient capital structure and providing appropriate returns of capital to stockholders.

With the successful closing of the Transaction, the Company obtained a tax basis in its assets equal to their respective fair market values. This will result in estimated annual tax deductions of approximately $1.5 billion, principally over the next 15 years related to the amortization of the additional tax basis. The amortization is estimated to reduce the Company’s annual cash tax liability by approximately $370 million per year at the current combined federal and state applicable tax rate of 25%. A

detailed discussion of the taxes paid in connection with the Transaction appears in Note 1 to the audited consolidated and combined financial statements of the Company included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, filed with the SEC on August 9, 2019.

Even with the transformative events in the formation of the Company and closing of the Transaction, the Company delivered strong operational and financial performance in fiscal 2019. Following the Transaction, the Company continues to make progress towards our fundamental priorities of delivering quality live programming to power our core brands, securing full value for our content and positioning ourselves for long-term growth. Our fiscal 2019 highlights include:

Use of Information on Peer Companies and Industry Trends

Following the closing of the Transaction, the Compensation Committee retained FW Cook to identify and compile a new peer group appropriate for the Company as a standalone publicly traded company. Because the Company competes to recruit and retain executives against a relatively small number of large, complex, diversified and publicly traded advertising, broadcasting, cable and satellite, entertainment software, interactive home entertainment and movies and entertainment companies, when reviewing the base salary, target bonus compensation and target long-term incentive compensation to be awarded to our named executive officers from and following the closing of the Transaction, the Compensation Committee focused on the compensation practices of Activision Blizzard, Inc., CBS Corporation, Charter Communications, Inc., Comcast Corporation, Discovery, Inc., Disney, Electronic Arts, Inc., Liberty Global plc, MSG Networks Inc., Netflix, Inc., Nexstar Media Group, Inc., Omnicom Group Inc., Sinclair Broadcast Group, Inc., Sirius XM Holdings, Inc. and Viacom Inc. (collectively, the “Peer Group”).

In reviewing and establishing the compensation payable to our named executive officers for fiscal 2019 following the closing of the Transaction, the Compensation Committee regularly reviewed the compensation practices of the Peer Group, reviewed FOX’s performance relative to the performance of members of the Peer Group, as well as evolving broad market practices to ensure that it remained informed when making compensation decisions. Because of the complex mix of industries and markets in which the Company operates, the Compensation Committee did not target any element of compensation or total compensation to a specific range within the Peer Group. The goal of the Compensation Committee was to provide total compensation packages that are competitive with prevailing practices in our industry and in the geographic markets in which

24						2019 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

the Company conducts business and reflective of FOX’s performance in our industry relative to the Peer Group. As further discussed above in the section entitled “Fiscal 2019 Business and Management Review,” Fox outperformed its peers operationally and financially in a transformative year, successes that the Compensation Committee took into consideration when evaluating the compensation packages provided to our named executive officers.

Elements of Compensation

The key elements of our executive compensation program for our named executive officers consist of base salary, annual bonus compensation that is based on an evaluation of Company and individual and group performance, long-term incentive awards that are broadly consistent with peer practice and retirement benefits. Our named executive officers also receive certain perquisites, but the perquisites are not a key element of compensation. In establishing the elements of our named executive officers’ compensation following the Transaction, the Compensation Committee considered each named executive officer’s management experience, duties and responsibilities with the Company; duration of service to the Company and 21CF, the industry and peer group in which the Company competes for talent; and, in certain instances, the compensation required to recruit and retain the named executive officer into a role with the Company. For fiscal 2020, the first full year implementing these compensation principles and policies, 85% of the Chief Executive Officer’s target total direct compensation and 74% of the other named executive officer’s target total direct compensation will be “at risk.”

Base Salary

One element of compensation needed to attract and retain an employee in any organization is base salary. Base salary is the fixed element of a named executive officer’s annual cash compensation and does not vary with performance. The base salary provided for by the respective employment agreements of Messrs. L.K. Murdoch, Nallen, Dinh and Tomsic, and the base salary approved by the Compensation Committee for Mr. K.R. Murdoch were evaluated and discussed by 21CF and approved by the Compensation Committee immediately following the closing of the Transaction in the context of the named executive officer’s particular position; the responsibilities associated with that position; his length of service with the Company; experience, expertise, knowledge and qualifications; market factors; the industry in which we operate and compete; recruitment and retention factors; and the Company’s overall compensation philosophy.

The Compensation Committee charter provides that the committee will review annually the base salary of each of the named executive officers. Set forth below are the base salaries for each of the named executive officers for fiscal 2019:

Annual Incentive Compensation

In accordance with the agreements negotiated by 21CF in conjunction with the Disney Merger that was approved by 99.6% of the 21CF stockholders that voted on the proposal, and as further discussed below in the section entitled “Pre-Transaction Annual Incentive Compensation,” in the event the Transaction closed prior to the payment of fiscal 2019 annual bonuses, each named executive officer would become entitled to receive a cash bonus for fiscal 2019 based on the achievement of the target level of performance and prorated based on the number of days in the fiscal 2019 performance period that elapsed as of the closing of the Transaction. Because the Transaction closed nearly three quarters of the way through fiscal 2019, performance goals applicable to the remaining portion of fiscal 2019 did not exist. As a result, the Compensation Committee determined to pay each of our named executive officers a prorated portion of their annual target bonus in respect of fiscal 2019 based on the period of time elapsed between the closing of the Transaction and the conclusion of fiscal 2019.

For fiscal 2020 and going forward, the annual bonus applicable to our named executive officers will be based 75% on the attainment of the Company’s achievement of total segment EBITDA² versus the budgeted total segment EBITDA goal, and 25% on qualitative factors, including each named executive officer’s contributions to the Company’s financial and non-financial objectives, individually and as a group. Although the annual bonus programs maintained by members of the Peer Group typically measure financial performance using two or three unique measures, the Compensation Committee believes that total

			2019 Proxy Statement				25

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

segment EBITDA is widely used by investors and stockholders to measure the Company’s performance and therefore is the appropriate metric against which our named executive officers’ performance should be assessed. The Compensation Committee has determined that our annual bonus for named executive officers will provide incentive compensation that is variable, contingent and specifically designed to motivate our named executive officers to achieve pre-established performance goals.

The Compensation Committee approved the following target and maximum annual bonus opportunities for each named executive officer for fiscal 2020.

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards

The Compensation Committee believes the purpose of granting long-term equity-based awards to our named executive officers is to align their compensation with the long-term performance of the Company and thereby link the named executive officers’ interests directly to those of the Company’s stockholders. In furtherance of this purpose, the Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards for fiscal 2020 in the following form:

PSUs granted to our named executive officers will vest following the completion of the three-year performance period, based upon the extent to which the following performance metrics meet or exceed targets established by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the performance period (collectively, the “Performance Metrics”):

The Compensation Committee selected these Performance Metrics because it believes these metrics are critical to the Company’s long-term creation of stockholder value. Specifically, EPS is one of the primary measures used by FOX, investors and analysts to assess FOX’s and our management’s performance; FCF gives a clear view of the Company’s ability to generate cash that can be used for investments in the business, returns to stockholders and other actions that enhance stockholder value; and Relative TSR strengthens the alignment with the long-term interests of our stockholders while considering a broad and stable collection of comparator group companies that offer alternative capital investment opportunities. FOX will adjust EPS and FCF to ensure that the measurement of performance reflects factors that management can directly control and that payout levels are not artificially inflated or diminished by factors unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business. These adjustments will ensure that the decisions made by our named executive officers are not unduly influenced by unexpected and uncontrollable events or by strategic events that are in the long-term interest of stockholders because the executives would neither benefit nor be penalized by the impact of these events on the Company.

26						2019 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

For the fiscal 2020-2022 performance period, each of our named executive officers received a long-term incentive award in the following aggregate target amount:

As further discussed below under the section entitled “Transitional Long-Term Incentive Program,” 21CF was paramount in planning, discussing and recommending that our newly constituted Compensation Committee give appropriate consideration to the approval of the grant of initial awards under the 2019 SAP, which became effective immediately upon the closing of the Transaction.

Retirement Benefits

As further discussed below in the section entitled “Legacy Retirement Benefits,” in conjunction with the Transaction, FOX adopted and maintains certain legacy 21CF retirement benefits in which former 21CF employees, including certain of our named executive officers, participated.

Perquisites

Our named executive officers are provided with limited types of perquisites and other personal benefits that the Compensation Committee determined are reasonable and consistent with the overall compensation philosophy applied to our named executive officers. Perquisites constitute a very small percentage of each named executive officer’s total compensation package. Some perquisites are generally intended to serve a specific business need for the benefit of the Company, including the safety and security of our named executive officers. The perquisites received by each named executive officer in fiscal 2019, as well as their incremental cost to the Company, are reported in the Summary Compensation Table and its accompanying footnotes below.

Employment Arrangements, Severance and Change in Control Arrangements

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, our newly constituted Compensation Committee discussed, reviewed and evaluated the executive compensation programs established and implemented by 21CF in anticipation of FOX’s business needs following the closing of the Transaction and in light of our desire to recruit and retain superior talent for our emerging business. As a result of this analysis, the Compensation Committee concluded that employment agreements are important tools to attract and retain executive talent, and that the employment agreements that each of our named executive officers maintained with 21CF were in need of updates to reflect our new business and strategy. Accordingly, on March 19, 2019, immediately following the closing of the Transaction, the Compensation Committee and Board approved compensatory arrangements for each of our named executive officers and on April 26, 2019, the Company entered into employment agreements formalizing these compensatory arrangements with each of Messrs. L.K. Murdoch, Nallen, Dinh and Tomsic.

The employment agreements generally provide for base salary, target annual bonus and target grants of long-term incentive awards for each year of the three-year term. The employment agreements also provide for severance protection in the event of a termination of the executive’s employment during the term and bind the executives to restrictive covenants in favor of the Company. None of the named executive officers’ employment agreements or other arrangements contains provisions that guarantee a payment upon a change in control of the Company. The employment agreements and severance arrangements contained therein are further described below in the sections entitled “Employment Arrangements” beginning on page 38 and “Potential Payments Upon Termination” beginning on page 42.

Recoupment of Previously Paid Named Executive Officer Performance-Based Compensation

The Board has adopted policies requiring the recoupment of performance-based compensation paid to the named executive officers in the event of certain financial restatements or of other bonus compensation in certain other instances. Specifically, if an executive is engaged in acts or omissions that are determined, by final judicial decision or order from which there is no further right to appeal, to involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or if an executive is engaged in harassment, discrimination or retaliation, including, but not limited to, the failure to respond to allegations or complaints of such behavior, then the Compensation Committee has sole discretion to require reimbursement of all or any portion of performance-based compensation or discretionary bonus paid to the executive.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging of FOX Stock

FOX prohibits all employees, including its Directors and named executive officers (and their family members and controlled entities that are subject to its Insider Trading and Confidentiality Policy), from hedging FOX securities (including through the purchase of financial instruments, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars, and exchange funds that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of FOX’s securities) that they hold directly or indirectly or hedging or pledging equity compensation. In addition, FOX prohibits all Directors and employees, including its named executive officers, from engaging in short sales of the Company’s securities.

Executive Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Compensation Committee believes that the named executive officers of the Company should have an appropriate equity ownership in the Company to more closely align their economic interests with those of other Company stockholders. In connection with the closing of the Transaction, the Board adopted stock ownership guidelines that require the named executive officers to own equity securities of the Company equal in value to at least a defined multiple of the executive’s salary as follows:

Each executive is required to achieve the appropriate ownership level within five years from the end of the fiscal year in which the executive first becomes subject to the ownership guidelines. All fully owned shares held by the executive or direct family members, vested shares held in retirement and deferred compensation accounts, shares held by the executive or direct family members in trust, and all unvested restricted shares or time-based RSUs will count for purposes of assessing an executive’s ownership level. To ensure executives make continuous progress toward their respective targets, executives must own 25% of the guideline by the end of the second fiscal year after becoming subject to the guidelines, 50% after the end of the third fiscal year and 75% by the end of the fourth fiscal year. If an executive’s guideline increases, then after the initial five-year compliance period, the executive will have an additional three years to achieve the increased guideline. The Compensation Committee assesses compliance with the ownership guidelines in light of applicable circumstances at the end of each fiscal year. As of the end of fiscal 2019, each of our named executive officers has achieved the appropriate ownership level in accordance with the ownership guidelines.

Role of Compensation Consultant

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, 21CF retained the services of FW Cook as an external compensation consultant to advise the 21CF Compensation Committee on compensation practices to be implemented prior to the closing of the Transaction for FOX’s named executive officers and non-executive directors. The Board has retained FW Cook to advise the Board and the Compensation Committee on its named executive officer and non-executive Director compensation practices and framework. For information on the Compensation Committee’s consideration of FW Cook’s independence, please see page 13 in the section entitled “Committees and Meetings of the Board of Directors—Compensation Committee.”

Compensation Deductibility Policy

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, generally prohibits executive compensation in excess of $1 million per year to be deducted by the Company as a compensation expense. The Compensation Committee has approved, and may continue to approve, compensation exceeding the $1 million limitation, including with respect to a portion of base salary, annual bonus and long-term incentives, in order to provide appropriate compensation. While accounting and tax treatment are relevant issues to consider, the Compensation Committee believes that stockholder interests are best served by not restricting flexibility in designing compensation programs, even though such programs may result in nondeductible compensation expenses for tax purposes.

Establishing Fiscal 2019 Compensation Prior to the Closing of the Transaction

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, the 21CF Compensation Committee established all elements of each of our named executive officer’s total compensation package. For fiscal 2019, the 21CF Compensation Committee reviewed the full complement of executive compensation arrangements that had been contemplated in December 2017 as part of the 21CF Board’s approval of the Disney Merger. While acknowledging that compensation at the Company after the Transaction was exclusively the responsibility of the Compensation Committee, the 21CF Compensation Committee conveyed its view that the Company should give appropriate consideration to the compensation arrangements the 21CF Compensation Committee had reviewed, including the initial equity awards granted to our named executive officers under the 2019 SAP.

28						2019 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In light of the unique circumstances surrounding the Transaction, the compensation arrangements established by 21CF in fiscal 2019 were particularly focused on the successful completion of the Transaction, including the formation of the Company and recruitment of the Company’s leadership, for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. Therefore, the 21CF Compensation Committee and 21CF Board recalibrated their prior pay mix, a significant portion of which was performance-based and at-risk, in favor of retention-focused pay in furtherance of efforts to ensure the successful closing of the Transaction, which unlocked significant value for stockholders. In addition, the practical considerations of assessing performance during a year in which each of 21CF and FOX underwent a significant corporate transaction and the need to provide certainty to 21CF and FOX executives during a period of change, in our view, further influenced the 21CF Compensation Committee’s decision to provide retention-focused pay. These compensation costs were primarily borne by 21CF.

Elements of Compensation

We understand that the 21CF Compensation Committee historically considered such characteristics as the named executive officer’s leadership and management expertise, performance history, the complexity of the position and responsibilities, growth potential, term of service with the Company, reporting structure and internal parity in making individual compensation decisions. The 21CF Compensation Committee also historically took into account certain other market factors, such as the significance of the industry and geographic markets (particularly New York City and Los Angeles) in which we operate and compete to the Company’s ability to attract and retain talent.

Legacy Base Salary

In designing compensation programs for 21CF’s executive officers, certain of whom would become FOX’s named executive officers, the 21CF Compensation Committee established base salaries in the context of the nature of the executive officer’s particular position, the contractual obligations 21CF maintained with the applicable named executive officer, and the retention needs associated with the consummation of the Transaction.

Pre-Transaction Annual Incentive Compensation

In August 2018, the 21CF Compensation Committee approved the framework for the fiscal 2019 short-term incentive program (together with the annual short-term incentive compensation program approved by 21CF for the benefit of its employees other than named executive officers, the “Annual Incentive”) in accordance with 21CF’s ordinary annual performance bonus program. The 21CF Compensation Committee determined that two-thirds of the Annual Incentive would be based on achievement of a target financial performance metric and one-third would be based on qualitative factors, including the contributions, individually and as a group, of its named executive officers. The 21CF Compensation Committee selected adjusted OIBDA³ as the financial performance metric for the Annual Incentive, a key performance metric historically applied by the 21CF Compensation Committee. Adjusted OIBDA reflected the financial objective of 21CF for which the 21CF named executive officers, some of whom became FOX named executive officers, had direct responsibility. For fiscal 2019, the 21CF Compensation Committee set a target performance range for OIBDA of $7.30 billion to $7.40 billion and set threshold and maximum performance levels at 80% and 120%, respectively, of the midpoint of the target performance range. In addition, the 21CF Compensation Committee approved the following target and maximum Annual Incentive opportunities for fiscal 2019 for each of Messrs. K.R. Murdoch, L.K. Murdoch and Nallen.

In accordance with the agreements negotiated by 21CF in conjunction with the Disney Merger, in the event the Transaction closed prior to the payment of fiscal 2019 Annual Bonuses, each named executive officer would become entitled to receive a cash bonus for fiscal 2019 based on the achievement of the target level of performance and prorated based on the number of days in the fiscal 2019 performance period that elapsed as of the closing of the Transaction. Effective as of the closing of the Transaction on March 19, 2019, each of Messrs. K.R. Murdoch, L.K. Murdoch and Nallen became entitled to receive a prorated Annual Incentive from 21CF based on target performance. Mr. Dinh did not participate in the Annual Incentive program in light of his start date with 21CF. Instead, Mr. Dinh received a signing bonus of $4.5 million (the “Signing Bonus”) and became eligible to receive a bonus in the amount of $3.75 million from 21CF immediately following the closing of the Transaction pursuant to his employment agreement with 21CF (the “Contractual Bonus”).

Mr. Tomsic did not participate in the Annual Incentive program for 21CF named executive officers as he did not serve as a named executive officer of 21CF. Instead, Mr. Tomsic participated in the Annual Incentive program for employees other than named executive officers with a target annual short-term incentive award equal to $1,275,000, a prorated portion of which was paid upon the Transaction at the greater of fiscal 2019 target and the actual bonus received in respect of 21CF’s 2018 fiscal year, in accordance with the agreements negotiated by 21CF in conjunction with the Disney Merger. In addition, in recognition of Mr. Tomsic’s efforts in furtherance of the Transaction, on March 19, 2019, immediately following the closing of the Transaction, 21CF paid a discretionary cash bonus to Mr. Tomsic in the amount of $2.0 million (the “Discretionary Bonus”).

The Annual Incentives, Signing Bonus, Contractual Bonus and Discretionary Bonus provided by 21CF to our named executive officers prior to and upon the consummation of the Transaction were as follows:

Transitional Long-Term Incentive Program

Ordinary-Course Annual Equity Awards

In accordance with the agreements negotiated by 21CF in conjunction with the Disney Merger that was approved by 99.6% of the 21CF stockholders that voted on the proposal, in February 2018, the 21CF Compensation Committee made a special grant of restricted stock units (the “21CF Retention RSUs”) to its executives, including executives who would become FOX’s named executive officers, to provide retention incentives to individuals deemed key to the success of the Transaction. Because the 21CF Compensation Committee granted the 21CF Retention RSUs, it did not grant an annual equity award in fiscal 2019 to any executive who received a 21CF Retention RSU. In addition, Mr. Dinh received a signing grant of restricted stock units (the “Signing RSUs”) in connection with his commencement of employment with 21CF, which will vest 20% on September 30, 2019, 40% on June 30, 2020 and 40% on June 30, 2021. In accordance with the agreements negotiated by 21CF in conjunction with the Disney Merger, upon the closing of the Transaction, outstanding PSU awards (“21CF PSU Awards”) for the fiscal 2017-2019 performance period previously granted to all participants by 21CF, including our named executive officers, were paid out based on the target level of performance and the 21CF PSU Awards for the fiscal 2018-2020 performance period, previously granted to all participants by 21CF, and for the employees of the Company, including our named executive officers, had performance conditions that were deemed achieved based on target performance, were converted into FOX time-based restricted stock units that settle in FOX shares, and continue to be subject to time-based vesting conditions in accordance with the original vesting schedule (subject to accelerated vesting upon certain terminations of employment).

2019 Initial Shareholder Alignment Plan Awards

As further discussed below, upon the closing of the Transaction, FOX granted each of its named executive officers an initial, one-time equity award under the 2019 SAP designed to compensate executives for forfeited 21CF separation payment opportunities and immediately align its newly-hired executives’ interests with those of our stockholders.

Before the closing of the Transaction, 21CF engaged in extensive efforts to ensure FOX was well positioned to thrive as a standalone publicly traded company, including taking a best-in-class approach to both retaining internal executives from 21CF and recruiting new executives externally who had the experience and ability to drive our continued success following the Transaction and to enhance stockholder value.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In building our executive team before the closing of the Transaction, 21CF realized that each of the individuals who would be our named executive officers, and certain of the individuals who would be our other key executives, would forfeit significant compensation to join our executive team upon the closing of the Transaction. Each of our named executive officers and key executives who joined us from 21CF either (1) forfeited significant severance payments, equity acceleration and other welfare benefits that they would have received upon a qualifying termination if they had stayed with 21CF or (2) forfeited the opportunity to receive new grants of Disney equity-based awards if they did not incur a qualifying termination and had stayed with 21CF. Our other named executive officers and key executives who were newly hired by 21CF in anticipation of the Transaction forfeited compensation opportunities, including unvested and/or deferred compensation from prior employers. To attract the right team of executives to foster our continued success following the Transaction and align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders, 21CF took these types of forfeited compensation opportunities into account in designing the executive compensation programs that would be in place for our executives following the closing of the Transaction.

In light of the foregoing, and to assist in the successful recruitment of legacy 21CF executives and recruiting of newly hired executives, 21CF established and approved the 2019 SAP to provide equity-based compensation to our key executives, including our named executive officers. In January 2019, the 21CF Compensation Committee, while acknowledging that compensation at FOX is exclusively the responsibility of the Compensation Committee and the Board, asked Mr. Nasser (who had been appointed as the sole member of the Compensation Committee) to convey the 21CF Compensation Committee’s view that FOX should give appropriate consideration to implementing the Initial Shareholder Alignment Plan (the “ISAP Awards”). The ISAP Awards were designed to incentivize key executives to drive future growth in our business, align the interests of key executives with those of our stockholders, reward our key executives for their contributions to the successful Transaction and establishment of FOX as a standalone publicly traded company, and, in many cases, begin to make executives whole for compensation opportunities, including equity-based compensation and severance opportunities, that were forfeited as a result of the Transaction or as a result of a key executive’s decision to leave his or her former employer to join FOX. During recruiting efforts in the months leading up to the Transaction, 21CF outlined the amount, form, vesting schedule and other material terms and conditions of the ISAP Awards to be granted to our named executive officers upon the closing of the Transaction and communicated these terms to our named executive officers to incent them to join FOX.

In connection with the closing of the Transaction and taking into consideration the 21CF Compensation Committee’s view that we should give appropriate consideration to implementing the ISAP Awards, our Board formally adopted the 2019 SAP and the Compensation Committee granted the ISAP Awards on March 19, 2019. The aggregate grant date fair value of the ISAP Awards, which was outlined by 21CF prior to the closing of the Transaction, is $123 million, of which $51 million was granted to our named executive officers as outlined and allocated by 21CF, approximately $60 million was granted to other key executives and the remaining balance was granted to the rest of the Company’s employees pursuant to the allocations recommended by our Chief Executive Officer and other senior executives. Each ISAP Award granted to our named executive officers under the 2019 SAP consists of 25% stock options and 75% restricted stock units. Fifty percent (50%) of the ISAP Awards granted to our named executive officers will vest on June 15, 2020, and the remaining 50% will vest on June 15, 2021, in each case, generally subject to continued employment through the applicable vesting date. For additional information regarding the value of equity-based awards granted to our named executive officers, please see the Summary Compensation Table and its accompanying footnotes below beginning on page 35.

Legacy Retirement Benefits

Prior to the closing of the Transaction, 21CF maintained several qualified and nonqualified retirement benefit plans in which 21CF employees, including certain of our named executive officers, participated. These 21CF retirement plans served as an important retention tool for long-term employees, and in conjunction with the negotiation of the agreements relating to the Disney Merger and the Transaction, FOX adopted retirement plans that are substantially similar to the retirement plans maintained by 21CF to ensure that FOX employees who participated in 21CF legacy retirement plans would maintain their right to receive previously accrued retirement benefits upon their retirement from FOX.

FOX maintains a broad-based, tax-qualified pension plan and administers a Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”), which provides for retirement benefits for participants above the amounts available under our broad-based plan, as limited by the Internal Revenue Code. Certain of our named executive officers participated in 21CF Individual Supplemental Employee Retirement Agreements (“ISERAs”) prior to the closing of the Transaction. In connection with the Transaction, FOX assumed the ISERAs in which certain of our named executive officers participate. The FOX ISERAs, like the 21CF ISERAs, provide enhanced pension benefits and enhanced retirement health benefits to the participating executives and their spouses. No changes were made by the Company to the terms of the legacy 21CF ISERAs. The FOX SERP and the FOX ISERAs are nonqualified plans for tax purposes and are funded using a grantor trust. The assets in the grantor trust are unsecured funds of the Company and could be used to satisfy the Company’s obligations in the event of bankruptcy or insolvency. For additional information on these arrangements and plans, please see the Pension Benefits Table and the Potential Payments Upon Termination Table, together with their accompanying footnotes, and the section entitled “Description of Pension Benefits.”

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and discussed it with the Company’s management. Based on the Compensation Committee’s review and discussions with management, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal 2019 and this proxy statement.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE:

Jacques Nasser (Chairman)

Anne Dias

Paul D. Ryan

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During fiscal 2019, the Compensation Committee consisted of the following non-executive Directors: Jacques Nasser (Chairman), Anne Dias and Paul D. Ryan, all of whom the Board has determined are independent in accordance with Nasdaq listing rules. There are no interlocking relationships as defined in the applicable SEC rules.

RISKS RELATED TO COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES

The Compensation Committee has been delegated the authority to oversee the risk assessment of the Company’s compensation policies and practices. At the direction of the Compensation Committee, members of senior management conducted the risk assessment. Such members gathered and reviewed information regarding pay practices and risk-mitigation factors within the Company’s principal business units and its corporate division. Following an analysis of the data with the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee does not believe there are any risks from the Company’s compensation policies and practices for its employees that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, the Company’s compensation programs include sufficient risk mitigation features, such as management discretion and oversight, a balance of annual and long-term incentives for senior executives, the use of multiple performance metrics which are generally set at the beginning of the performance period, award opportunities that are fixed or capped, and recoupment provisions for named executive officers’ performance-based and other bonus compensation in the event of certain financial restatements or certain other instances. Specifically, if an executive is engaged in acts or omissions that are determined, by final judicial decision or order from which there is no further right to appeal, to involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law or if an executive is engaged in harassment, discrimination or retaliation, including, but not limited to, the failure to respond to allegations or complaints of such behavior, then the Compensation Committee will require reimbursement of all or any portion of performance-based compensation paid to such executive. The Compensation Committee annually oversees an assessment of risk related to compensation policies and practices.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

The following section, and the tables that appear herein, sets forth information with respect to total compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019, and, with respect to the Summary Compensation Table below, the fiscal years ended June 30, 2018 and June 30, 2017, respectively, for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the other most highly compensated executive officers of the Company (collectively, the “named executive officers”) who served in such capacity on June 30, 2019.

For fiscal 2019, decisions governing compensation paid to the named executive officers were made by two groups of directors: prior to the Transaction, the compensation decisions for 21CF’s named executive officers were made by the 21CF Board and the 21CF Compensation Committee, and following the Transaction, the compensation decisions were made by the Board and the Compensation Committee. All compensation granted to or received by our named executive officers prior to March 19, 2019 was established, granted and provided by 21CF. Because of the Transaction, fiscal 2019 is a transitional year in which the compensation objectives of 21CF and the Company were different. While the compensation decisions made by 21CF and the Company were each focused on providing annual and long-term incentive programs, 21CF was particularly focused on compensation decisions relating to the successful completion of the Transaction, including the formation of the Company, and recruitment of the Company’s leadership, for the benefit of the Company’s stockholders. As a result, the compensation granted to our named executive officers during fiscal 2019 prior to and upon the closing of the Transaction is not necessarily reflective of the compensation design and arrangements that the Board and Compensation Committee have established going forward.

As fiscal 2019 was a unique year in light of the Transaction, in addition to the information required to be provided under Item 402 of Regulation S-K, which requires the aggregation of our named executive officers’ compensation received from 21CF and the Company, the section that follows includes supplemental information regarding the compensation payable to our named executive officers in order to provide our stockholders with a better understanding of the compensation payable to FOX’s named executive officers going forward.

FOX is presenting three supplemental tables within this Executive Compensation section in addition to the Summary Compensation Table traditionally presented. The first table is presented to give our stockholders a better understanding of the annual target compensation approved by the Compensation Committee for our named executive officers that will be applicable going forward, and excludes compensation-related decisions approved by 21CF. The second table is presented to give our stockholders a better understanding of the compensation received by our named executive officers during fiscal 2019, but excluding certain elements of compensation that were based on or related to the Disney Merger and the Transaction. This transaction-related compensation is instead presented in the third table, which is included to give our stockholders a better understanding of the portion of the compensation reflected in the Summary Compensation Table that is nonrecurring and was granted and paid only due to the Disney Merger and the Transaction. The compensation reflected in the second table, when combined with the compensation reflected in the third table, is equal to the fiscal 2019 compensation presented in the Summary Compensation Table, which is presented as required by Item 402 of Regulation S-K.

FOX Pro Forma Compensation Table

The following supplemental table shows the total compensation for each named executive officer on a pro forma basis using only their contractual salary, target Annual Incentive and annual target equity-based incentive award approved by the Compensation Committee and Board on March 19, 2019, immediately following the closing of the Transaction, and as further described in the section entitled “Employment Agreements.” This supplemental table is not required, but in light of the extraordinary and transitional nature of fiscal 2019, the Company provides this summary as representative of the annual compensation programs FOX would expect to pay its named executive officers on a go-forward basis. Please refer to the Summary Compensation Table below for complete disclosure of the total compensation of our named executive officers reported in accordance with the SEC disclosure requirements.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Table for the Fiscal Year Ended June 30, 2019 Excluding Transaction-Related Compensation

The following supplemental table shows the compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 for each named executive officer excluding the Signing Bonus, Contractual Bonus, Discretionary Bonus, Signing RSUs and the ISAP Awards, further discussed in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section above, as these compensation amounts were paid in connection with the Transaction and are not representative of the Company’s annual compensation program going forward. In connection with the Transaction, the outstanding 21CF PSU Awards for the fiscal 2017-2019 performance period granted to the Company’s named executive officers were paid out based on the target level of performance (the “21CF PSU Awards Modification”), which are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table below. The table below excludes the effect of the 21CF PSU Awards Modification for the fiscal 2017-2019 performance period as it is not representative of FOX’s approved compensation program going forward.

Fiscal 2019 Transaction-Related Compensation

The following supplemental table shows the amount of our named executive officers’ compensation for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2019 attributable to the Signing Bonus, Contractual Bonus, Discretionary Bonus, Signing RSUs and the ISAP Awards, and includes the effect of the 21CF PSU Awards Modification for the fiscal 2017-2019 performance period.
