CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Commitment to Corporate Governance and Ethical Compliance. 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:

FOX’s inaugural Political Activities Report outlines the Company’s engagement efforts in six areas of corporate political activity in 2021:

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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.

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. Burck, Carey, 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 is independent as required under applicable Nasdaq listing rules and by the Statement of Corporate Governance and committee charters.

In making the independence determination with respect to Mr. Burck, the Board considered that Mr. Burck is a partner of Quinn Emanuel Urquhart & Sullivan, LLP (“Quinn Emanuel”). The Company did not pay any fees to Quinn Emanuel during fiscal 2022. The Company has no current professional relationship with Quinn Emanuel, nor does it expect to enter into any relationship so long as Mr. Burck continues to serve on the Board. Consistent with Nasdaq listing rules, the Board determined that this matter does not interfere with the independence of Mr. Burck.

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 Chair of the Board shall be an independent member of the Board. However, pursuant to the Statement of Corporate Governance, if the Chair 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 Chair and Mr. L.K. Murdoch has served as Executive Chair 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 Chair and Executive Chair 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.

			2022 Proxy Statement				11

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board reviews 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 considers, 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.

CEO and Management Succession Planning. The Board, with the assistance of the Compensation Committee, oversees succession planning for the CEO and other members of senior management. 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 in the event of extraordinary circumstances.

As part of the succession planning process, the Chief Executive Officer provides the Compensation Committee recommendations and evaluations of candidates and their succession potential to the CEO and other senior management positions. The Compensation Committee reviews potential candidates with the Chief Executive Officer or other members of senior management as the Compensation Committee considers appropriate, which covers development needs and 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. Further, the Compensation Committee periodically reviews 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 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. 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, governance, political activities and board diversity. These engagement efforts take place through telephone calls, in-person meetings and correspondence with our investors. For further information, please see “Compensation Discussion and Analysis—Engagement with Stockholders and Compensation Committee’s Annual Review of its Compensation Practices.”

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.

For example, the Board, and its committees as appropriate, regularly discuss and receive periodic updates from the Company’s Chair, Executive Chair 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, reputational and sustainability and corporate social responsibility risks, and the plans to address these risks.

In addition, 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 by providing guidance and reports to the full Board with respect to these risks as appropriate. As described above, during fiscal 2022, the Board updated the charters of its committees to reflect their responsibilities and oversight of various matters. These changes included broadening the Audit Committee’s oversight of major risk exposures beyond financial risk exposures and expanding the responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to include oversight of sustainability and corporate social responsibility risks. The Audit Committee is responsible for reviewing the Company’s policies and practices with respect to risk assessment and management, including cybersecurity, for overseeing the Company’s major risk exposures and the steps taken to monitor and control them, and for providing guidance to the Board on such matters; 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 risks relating to the Company’s corporate governance processes and sustainability and corporate social responsibility. 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.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

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 from 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 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 Board has also adopted and, with the assistance of the Audit Committee, oversees the Company’s Ethics and Compliance Program to enforce the Standards of Business Conduct and other Company policies. 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 from the Secretary of the Company. Amendments to the Standards of Business Conduct or any 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 a diversity of professional background, expertise, perspective, age, gender and ethnicity among Board members, including by ensuring that minority and female candidates are presented for consideration with each vacancy. 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 from time to time. 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.

The following table sets forth certain diversity statistics relating to the Board members, as required by Nasdaq listing rules:

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.

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 through a self-evaluation form that assesses, among other things, Board structure and composition, Board responsibilities, Board meetings and materials and Board and management interactions. 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

During fiscal 2022, the Board held a total of four meetings. All of the Directors attended 100% of the meetings of the Board that he or she was eligible to attend, as well as the meetings of the committees on which he or she served in fiscal 2022.

It is the policy of the Board to hold regular executive sessions of the independent Directors without management present. During fiscal 2022, the independent Directors of the Board met four times without management present. Mr. Nasser currently serves as Lead Independent Director and presides over executive sessions. Directors are encouraged to attend and participate in the Company’s annual meetings of stockholders. All of the Directors attended the Company’s 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

The Board has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These committees are comprised entirely of independent Directors, as required under the rules of the Exchange Act and Nasdaq. Each committee is governed by a written charter approved by the Board. These charters are available on the Company’s website at https://www.foxcorporation.com/corporate-governance/board-committees and are available in print to any stockholder from the Secretary of the Company.

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 sophisticated 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.

The Compensation Committee has delegated to Messrs. L.K.

The Board has retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (“FW Cook”) to advise the Board and the Compensation Committee on its named executive officer and non-executive Director compensation practices and framework.

Investment in Our Human Capital Resources

Our workforce is the creative, strategic and operational engine of FOX’s success. We have taken extraordinary actions to care for our employees during COVID-19, and our commitment to grow and support our employees continues on an ongoing and sustained basis as we move forward. We aim to develop our human capital by recruiting a talented and diverse workforce, offering competitive compensation and benefits, fostering a healthy work-life balance, providing learning and development opportunities for growth, protecting health and safety, fostering workplace civility and inclusion and encouraging our employees to have an impact in their communities.

As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately 10,600 full-time employees. In the ordinary course of our business and consistent with industry practice, we also employ freelance and temporary workers who provide important production and broadcast support services. The vast majority of our workforce is based in the United States, and a portion is unionized. We have posted on our corporate website our Employment Information Report (EEO-1), showing the race, ethnicity and gender of our U.S. employees. https://www.foxcorporation.com/eeo-1-data.

Recruitment and Diversity

We are committed to diversity from the very top of the Company. Our Board of Directors requires that minority and female candidates are presented for consideration with each Director vacancy. We believe that the more voices in the room and the more diverse the experiences of our colleagues, the better FOX’s internal culture and external programming are. Our diversity enables us to be more reflective of the audiences we reach and enhances our ability to create news, sports, and entertainment programming that serves all viewers across the country. An inclusive and diverse workplace is not merely a strategy or business objective; it is fundamentally woven in the fabric of the Company. This commitment begins with our approach to talent recruitment across all of our disciplines and extends to the way we nurture and advance our colleagues’ careers.

FOX lists job openings internally and externally because we believe this is one of the best tools to reach the widest and most diverse pool of candidates. We also collaborate with an array of professional organizations that offer FOX access to talent at recruiting events and conventions. These organizations include:

CORPORATE CULTURE AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We also offer paid internships to build a diverse pipeline of early-career talent and emerging leaders. The FOX Internship Program offers students an exciting opportunity to gain practical experience, participating in real-world projects and seminars on the media industry, technology and professional development. This internship program, which runs for 8-10 weeks three times per year, welcomed over 380 students in calendar year 2021 and was listed on Vault’s 2022 “100 Best Internships.” We also partner with the Emma Bowen Foundation, the T. Howard Foundation, the International Television and Radio Society, Sports Biz CARES and the Entertainment Industry College Outreach Program to provide media internships for promising students.

In addition, FOX has developed and implemented a number of internal training programs designed to provide outstanding individuals with workforce skills and professional development opportunities. These programs build the pipeline of our next generation of leaders, many of whom are from underrepresented backgrounds. Examples include:

Employee Compensation and Benefits

We are proud to invest in our people through competitive pay and comprehensive benefits designed to attract, motivate and retain our talent. Providing equal pay for equal work, without regard to race, gender or other protected characteristics, is an imperative at FOX. We link our more senior employees’ pay to corporate performance through discretionary annual incentive compensation awards.

FOX also provides generous benefits that support the health, wellness and financial stability of our employees and their families. Full-time employees are eligible for medical insurance through a choice of several plans, in which employees also may enroll family members, including domestic partners (same-sex and opposite-sex). Freelance employees who work a minimum number of hours are also eligible for a medical plan. Many employees enjoy the convenience of covered telemedicine visits. In addition, we provide vision and dental insurance, which includes coverage for adult orthodontic care. Our coverage is generous, with employee contributions and costs more favorable than national averages according to a 2021 Mercer LLC survey. Eligible employees may participate in flexible spending accounts, health savings accounts and qualified transportation expense accounts. We also provide employees with a health advocate service, with experts who support employees and their

eligible family members in navigating a wide range of health and insurance-related issues. In addition, we have onsite fitness centers in our New York and Los Angeles worksites. To provide additional support during COVID-19, we paid our full-time employees’ medical insurance premiums from March 2020 through December 2021.

Full-time employees are eligible to receive paid holidays, paid floating holidays, paid vacation, paid sick and safe time, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment insurance, business travel accident insurance, full salary replacement for up to 26 weeks of short-term disability, basic long-term disability insurance, charitable gift matching, cybersecurity and malware protection for personal devices and an employee assistance program that offers onsite counseling in New York and Los Angeles, as well as smoking cessation and weight management programs. The FOX 401(k) Savings Plan provides employees with a company contribution, and it offers a company match, Roth and post-tax contribution options and catch-up contributions. Finally, FOX also offers employees group discounts in various voluntary benefits such as critical illness insurance, group universal life insurance, auto and home insurance, access to legal services, pet insurance, supplemental long-term disability insurance and student loan refinancing.

Work-Life Balance and Workplace Flexibility

We believe offering our employees the tools necessary for a healthy work-life balance empowers them to thrive in our modern workforce. To that end, FOX allows eligible individuals the opportunity to work on a partially remote (i.e., “hybrid”) or fully remote basis in appropriate circumstances. We support these working arrangements by deploying online collaboration tools, offering e-learning courses on effective remote work, providing reasonable office supplies and reimbursing business expenses. The Company also reimburses employees who work on a fully remote basis with a monthly stipend for business expenses (including mobile or other devices, Internet and electricity). Where appropriate, we provide technology and mobile communication devices, tailored to employee duties.

Our parental leave policy allows eligible new parents to bond with their children for a substantial period with full pay, and our workplaces have lactation rooms for our new mothers. We provide onsite subsidized childcare to full-time employees at the Los Angeles FOX Child Care Center. In addition, we offer backup child, adult, elder and return-to-work care. For calendar years 2021 and 2022, we doubled the number of days that employees may use the backup care service from 20 to 40 days per year, and we also allow employees to use their backup care benefits for virtual tutoring.

Workplace Civility and Inclusion

Trust begins in the workplace every single day. We are committed to fostering a working environment of trust for our colleagues, in which people do their best work. Harassment, discrimination, retaliation and threats to health and safety all undermine our working environment of trust and make it harder for people to excel. Therefore, it is our policy to provide a safe work environment free from this or any other unlawful conduct.

Creating and maintaining an environment free of discrimination and harassment begins at the highest leadership level of the Company and is embedded throughout our policies and practices. The FOX Standards of Business Conduct and the Preventing Harassment, Discrimination and Retaliation Policy, which are posted on our website, create our framework for addressing complaints and taking remedial measures as needed. These policies offer multiple complaint channels, including a

In addition, all new hires must complete training on the Preventing Harassment, Discrimination and Retaliation Policy, as well as compliance and business ethics, and existing employees must complete the training periodically.

FOX also facilitates nine Employee Resource Groups, which are formed around shared identity, interests or pursuits for the purpose of advancing careers, forming a more inclusive workplace community and fostering a sense of belonging:

Maintaining a work environment where employees can thrive, advance and feel included is one of our top priorities at FOX. To that end, FOX developed and launched BE INCLUDED, a toolkit-building series of learning modules and open forum discussions to enable employees to create deeper workplace connections and support colleagues in cultivating an inclusive workplace.

As a result of these and other efforts, many outside organizations have recognized FOX for our deep commitment to inclusion and diversity. For example:

Community Impact

FOX employees are deeply engaged in their communities. Nowhere is that more evident than through the commitment and involvement of our colleagues who volunteer their time, share their talents and contribute to worthy causes through our philanthropic platform, FOX Forward. Through volunteer opportunities and service projects, FOX employees support community groups, veterans services organizations, local schools and families in need, and we encourage our colleagues to donate their time and resources to change-making organizations. Over the course of fiscal 2022, across all FOX businesses, our giving programs generated over $8 million in impact to local communities.

Among this year’s initiatives, FOX and its employees across the Company supported military veterans, first responders and their families by partnering with U.S. VETS to champion their Make Camo Your Cause campaign, the Tunnel to Towers Foundation and the Elizabeth Dole Foundation’s Hidden Heroes campaign. FOX continued to serve as an Annual Disaster Giving Program partner for the American Red Cross, while also making two additional donations of $1 million each to the Southern and Midwest Tornadoes Campaign and humanitarian relief efforts in Ukraine.

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, 2023. EY has audited the books and records of the Company since the fiscal year ended June 30, 2018. 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.

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 years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 is set forth below.

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 years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021 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 years ended June 30, 2022 and June 30, 2021, 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 the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors, both with management present and separately with each 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, 2022 with management and the independent registered public accounting firm.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Audit Committee met with members of management, the independent registered public accounting firm and the corporate auditors to review the fiscal 2022 certifications provided by the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, the rules and regulations of the SEC and the overall certification process. At these meetings, management reviewed with the Audit Committee each of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act certification requirements including whether there were any (i) significant deficiencies or material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to adversely affect the Company’s ability to record, process, summarize and report financial information, and (ii) fraud, whether or not material, involving management or other employees who have a significant role in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

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, 2022, 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.

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 2022 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, 2022 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Named Executive Officers

The Board and Compensation Committee believe FOX is best served by relying on a lean group of executives that have significant cross-functional responsibilities and are charged with performing multiple roles. To that end, the Board and the Compensation Committee recruited an accomplished group of senior executives to manage the growth of 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 unique leadership talent to the Company.

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis, together with the tables and accompanying descriptions that follow, provides a comprehensive explanation of our compensation design principles and the compensation awarded to or earned by the individuals listed below, who are our named executive officers for fiscal 2022:

Compensation Design Principles

The Compensation Committee evaluates the compensation program for our named executive officers with the aim of (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 who are uniquely positioned to drive performance and deliver results for our key stakeholders. In light of these goals, the Compensation Committee designs compensation applicable to our named executive officers in accordance with the following principles:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The table above represents amounts approved by the Compensation Committee for fiscal 2022. The aggregate cost of our fiscal 2022 target total direct named executive officer compensation is approximately the 51^st percentile of our Peer Group (as defined below), which the Compensation Committee believes appropriately balances our need to engage an elite group of executives and our need to provide value to our stockholders.

Fiscal 2022 Business and Management Review

FOX once again delivered strong operational and financial results for its third consecutive full fiscal year as a standalone, publicly traded company. FOX focuses on producing and distributing quality live news, sports and entertainment content that engages and informs audiences, deepens consumer relationships and creates more compelling product offerings through its primary iconic brands, including FOX News Media, FOX Sports, FOX Entertainment and FOX Television Stations, and leading AVOD service TUBI. FOX also continued to focus on its growth in fiscal 2022, investing in both organic initiatives and inorganic opportunities, while delivering meaningful returns of capital to stockholders.

During the fiscal year, FOX continued to reach and, in some cases, exceed its strategic goals, all pursuant to its fundamental priorities of delivering quality live and on-demand programming to large and engaged audiences, securing value for its market-leading brands and content and positioning itself for long-term growth. Fiscal 2022 highlights include:

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Other fiscal 2022 highlights include the following actions and initiatives:

Use of Information on Peer Companies and Industry Trends

A competitive compensation program is essential to attract and retain talented executives with the requisite skills and experience to successfully manage the Company’s businesses. The Company competes against a relatively small number of large, complex, diversified and publicly traded broadcasting, cable and satellite, and entertainment companies. The Compensation Committee considers the compensation practices of a peer group of companies (the “Peer Group”), FOX’s performance relative to the performance of members of the Peer Group, as well as evolving broad market practices to ensure that it remains informed when making compensation decisions. Because of the complex mix of industries and markets in which the Company operates, the Compensation Committee does not target any element of compensation or total compensation to a specific range within the Peer Group. The goal of the Compensation Committee is to provide total compensation packages that are competitive with prevailing practices in our industry and are reflective of FOX’s performance in our industry relative to the Peer Group.

The Compensation Committee, with advice from FW Cook, its independent compensation consultant, annually reviews the Peer Group and approves updates to its composition as necessary to better reflect the Company’s competitive landscape and account for any corporate changes and reorganizations among members of the Peer Group as well as changes in relative size. For fiscal 2022, no changes were made to the Peer Group, which consisted of AMC Networks Inc., Charter Communications, Inc., Comcast Corporation, Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. (formed through the merger of Discovery, Inc. and the WarnerMedia business of AT&T, Inc.), The Walt Disney Company, Liberty Global plc, Live Nation Entertainment, Inc., MSG Networks Inc., Netflix, Inc., Nexstar, Sinclair, Sirius XM Holdings, Inc. and Paramount Global (formerly known as ViacomCBS, Inc.). When reviewing and approving the fiscal 2022 base salary, target non-equity incentive compensation and target long-term incentive compensation for our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee considered the compensation practices of the Peer Group.

			2022 Proxy Statement				31

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In addition, the Compensation Committee considered the cost to FOX for the compensation provided to our named executive officers in the aggregate, relative to the aggregate cost of the top five executives of our Peer Group. In light of FOX’s unique named executive officer structure, the cross-functional roles assumed by each named executive officer and the significant tenure and history of many of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee believes that evaluating the aggregate cost of compensation paid to our named executive officers relative to the aggregate cost borne by the Peer Group appropriately assesses FOX’s compensation expenditures while avoiding comparisons among individual named executive officers that may not align with their roles or contributions to our business. While the Compensation Committee does not target the aggregate cost of named executive officer compensation to a specific range within the Peer Group, the aggregate cost of our fiscal 2022 target total direct named executive officer compensation is approximately the 51^st percentile of our Peer Group, which the Compensation Committee believes appropriately balances our need to recruit, retain and motivate an elite group of executives and our need to provide value to our stockholders.

Elements of Compensation

The key elements of our executive compensation program for our named executive officers are base salary; annual incentive compensation that is based on an evaluation of Company, individual and group performance; long-term incentive awards that are broadly consistent with peer practice; and retirement benefits. In establishing the elements of our named executive officers’ compensation, the Compensation Committee considered each named executive officer’s management experience, cross-functional duties and responsibilities with the Company; each named executive officer’s 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 2022, 85% of the Chief Executive Officer’s target total direct compensation and 78% of all named executive officers’ target total direct compensation was “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 for Mr. K.R. Murdoch, were approved by the Compensation Committee in the context of each named executive officer’s particular position; the responsibilities associated with that position; his 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 principles.

Set forth below are the base salaries for each of the named executive officers for fiscal 2022.

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the base salary of each of the named executive officers, subject to the terms of any applicable employment agreements. Base salary may be adjusted if the Compensation Committee determines that an adjustment is warranted or that a different mix of compensation elements may more appropriately compensate the individual named executive officer in light of the Company’s compensation objectives. There were no base salary changes for our named executive officers for fiscal 2022.

Annual Incentive Compensation

The named executive officers have a direct influence on our operations and strategy. The Compensation Committee believes that a significant portion of each named executive officer’s total compensation opportunity should be based on individual and group contributions and the Company’s financial and operating performance and progress against strategic goals. This framework fosters a performance-driven, pay-for-performance culture that aligns our named executive officers’ interests with those of our stockholders while also rewarding the named executive officers for superior individual and group achievements.

32				2022 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee thoroughly reviewed the fiscal 2022 annual non-equity incentive compensation program (the “Annual Incentive Compensation”) and, following this review, the Compensation Committee elected not to change the performance metrics under which the fiscal 2022 Annual Incentive Compensation would be assessed. Consistent with the prior fiscal year, the Compensation Committee determined that 75% of the fiscal 2022 Annual Incentive Compensation would be based on the Company’s achievement of Adjusted EBITDA² versus the budgeted Adjusted EBITDA goal, and 25% of the Annual Incentive Compensation would be based on qualitative factors, including each named executive officer’s contributions to the Company’s financial and non-financial objectives, individually and as a group. The Compensation Committee believes that Adjusted EBITDA is widely used by investors and stockholders to measure the Company’s performance and is a material driver in stockholder returns and therefore is the appropriate quantitative metric against which our named executive officers’ performance should be assessed. The target range of the Adjusted EBITDA metric established by the Compensation Committee is designed to drive total stockholder return for our stockholders by providing our named executive officers with rigorous, but achievable, short-term Company performance metrics.

In connection with the increased ability to forecast the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA metrics following the pandemic-related uncertainty in fiscal 2021, the Compensation Committee reverted to the pre-pandemic threshold and maximum performance goals for the fiscal 2022 target Adjusted EBITDA. The Compensation Committee’s determination of the performance levels for the achievement of the financial performance metric are reflected in the table below, with performance that falls between the specified levels to be calculated on a linear basis:

The Compensation Committee approved the following target and maximum Annual Incentive Compensation opportunities for each named executive officer for fiscal 2022.

On November 9, 2021, in connection with an extension of the term of Mr. Tomsic’s employment agreement with the Company, the Compensation Committee approved an increase in the annual base salary for Mr. Tomsic to $1,750,000 beginning July 1, 2022, which results in a decrease in his target Annual Incentive Compensation to 142% of his Base Salary beginning July 1, 2022.

Quantitative Element of Annual Incentive Compensation

For fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee set threshold and maximum performance levels and target performance range for Adjusted EBITDA for the quantitative element of the Annual Incentive Compensation opportunities as follows:

			2022 Proxy Statement				33

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

A narrow target range is used, rather than a fixed dollar goal, to address challenges associated with setting performance goals with precision and to avoid unintended windfalls or shortfalls in actual payouts to the named executive officers. The target range for the Annual Incentive Compensation was designed around a midpoint that reflects the Adjusted EBITDA target for FOX’s company-wide operating plan, which was reviewed by the Compensation Committee in June 2021 and formally approved at its next meeting. This Adjusted EBITDA target reflects a rigorous target for fiscal 2022 based on macroeconomic conditions and the Company’s performance outlook, which took into account expected headwinds when compared against fiscal 2021 results due to a significant decline in political advertising revenues from the absence of the 2020 Presidential election cycle, incremental digital investment at TUBI and FOX News Media and higher programming rights amortization and production costs associated with normalized sports and entertainment schedules that were impacted by COVID-19 in the prior fiscal year. No quantitative portion of the Annual Incentive Compensation is payable below the threshold performance level and no additional amount is payable above the maximum performance level.

The Company’s fiscal 2022 Adjusted EBITDA of $2.955 billion fell between the target performance range and the maximum performance level and therefore the Compensation Committee determined that the quantitative portion of the Annual Incentive Compensation was earned at 106% of the target range. The Adjusted EBITDA metric exceeded the target performance range because the Company continued to meet and exceed its strategic goals as described further in the section titled “Fiscal 2022 Business and Management Review” above.

The quantitative portion of the fiscal 2022 Annual Incentive Compensation was calculated as follows:

The table below illustrates the calculation of the quantitative portion of our named executive officers’ Annual Incentive Compensation opportunity:

Qualitative Element of Annual Incentive Compensation

Additionally, when determining each named executive officer’s Annual Incentive Compensation, the Compensation Committee also considered the named executive officers’ performance, individually and collectively as a group, against qualitative factors and related evaluation metrics established in advance by the Committee for fiscal 2022. This assessment comprised 25% of the Annual Incentive Compensation determination.

34				2022 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The performance factors underpinning this component of the Annual Incentive Compensation help focus the named executive officers on cross-functional strategic initiatives that are imperative to the Company’s continued long-term success. In order to evaluate the extent to which the performance factors were achieved for fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee undertook a qualitative assessment of Company performance and the performance of our named executive officers, individually and collectively as a group, taking into account the following qualitative factors and fiscal 2022 achievements:

			2022 Proxy Statement				35

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

36				2022 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In order to determine the extent to which the qualitative portion of the Annual Incentive Compensation was achieved, the Compensation Committee evaluated the previously established qualitative performance factors against the achievements described above during fiscal 2022. The Compensation Committee weighted each qualitative performance metric equally when evaluating the achievement of such performance factor as a part of the entire qualitative portion of the Annual Incentive Compensation. In addition, the Compensation Committee determined that each of our named executive officers contributed equally to the achievements described above for each qualitative performance factor, and therefore the extent to which the qualitative performance factors were achieved was applied uniformly to each named executive officer’s Annual Incentive Compensation. The Compensation Committee determined that the above-described achievements of the named executive officers, individually and as a group, fully satisfied the previously-established qualitative performance metrics and therefore awarded 100% of the target qualitative portion of the Annual Incentive Compensation to the named executive officers.

In light of the Compensation Committee’s consideration of these factors, the Compensation Committee confirmed the payout multiples set forth below and calculated the Annual Incentive Compensation, which was paid in cash, as follows:

Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards

The Compensation Committee believes that the purpose of granting long-term equity-based incentive 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. The Company’s compensation design principles are to drive performance without encouraging unnecessary risk taking, support long-term growth for stockholders, and attract, retain and motivate top executive talent. Consequently, in August 2021, the Compensation Committee granted for fiscal 2022 a mix of long-term equity-based incentive awards focused on performance with the primary goal of enhancing alignment with the Company’s stockholders while also serving to reward performance and support retention. The mix of long-term equity-based incentive awards granted for fiscal 2022 is as follows:

			2022 Proxy Statement				37

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee believes that allocating 50% of FOX’s long-term equity-based incentive awards as performance-based compensation appropriately aligns our named executive officers’ interests with those of FOX’s stockholders. For comparison, only two-thirds of the members of the Peer Group grant performance-based equity as part of their regular annual long-term equity-based incentive programs; of those grants, approximately 50% were allocated to performance-based awards. Collectively, the Compensation Committee allocated 85% of the grant value of the performance-based portion of each named executive officer’s target long-term incentive award to the Stock Hurdle and Relative TSR (which we refer to collectively as the hurdled stock performance measures) and 15% of the grant value to Company financial performance. The Compensation Committee selected the hurdled stock performance measures to strengthen the alignment of interests between the named executive officers and our stockholders.

Company financial performance is measured through EPS and FCF. The Compensation Committee selected these metrics because it believes they support the Company’s long-term creation of stockholder value. EPS is one of the primary measures used by FOX’s investors and analysts to assess FOX’s and our management’s performance, and 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. The Company adjusts EPS and FCF to ensure that the measurement of performance reflects factors that management can directly control and is not artificially inflated or diminished by factors unrelated to the ongoing operation of the business. This is intended to ensure that our named executive officers neither benefit from nor are penalized for unexpected or uncontrollable events or strategic decisions that are in the long-term interest of stockholders, but may have a negative or neutral effect on our named executive officers’ compensation and thus might drive decision-making that is not aligned with our stockholders’ interests.

For the fiscal 2022-2024 performance period, in August 2021 each of our named executive officers received long-term equity-based incentive awards in the following aggregate target amount:

The grant date for long-term equity-based incentive awards is the date on which the Compensation Committee approves awards under the 2019 Shareholder Alignment Plan, with the exercise price of stock options set as the volume-weighted average price of the Class A Common Stock on Nasdaq on the date of grant and the number of RSUs and PSUs underlying each award determined based on the 20-day trailing average of the closing price of the Class A Common Stock as of the last day of the fiscal year.

Vesting of Performance-Based Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards for Fiscal 2020-2022 Performance Period

As previously disclosed in our proxy statement filed in connection with our 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in August 2019, the Compensation Committee granted long-term equity-based incentive awards that include PSUs (the “fiscal 2020 PSUs”) for the three-year performance period ended June 30, 2022 (the “fiscal 2020-2022” performance period). The fiscal 2020 PSUs vested based on the extent to which average annual adjusted EPS⁴ growth (40%), average annual adjusted FCF⁵ growth (40%), and the Company’s Relative TSR (20%) (collectively referred to as the “performance metrics”) were achieved over the fiscal 2020-2022 performance period.

In August 2019, the Compensation Committee established the following performance levels and weightings for the fiscal 2020 PSUs’ performance metrics:

In August 2022, the Compensation Committee evaluated the average annual adjusted EPS growth, the average annual adjusted FCF growth and the Company’s three-year Relative TSR and approved the weighted payout of the three performance metrics (the “Final Performance Factor”) as set forth below.

The weighted contribution disclosed in the table above reflects the percentage of the aggregate fiscal 2020 PSU performance achievement, factoring in the extent to which the applicable performance metric was achieved and the weighting placed on the applicable performance metric by the Compensation Committee. Based on the Company’s performance, the Compensation Committee determined a Final Performance Factor of 45% of target. As a result, the fiscal 2020 PSUs vested at 45% of the sum of the target number of shares of Class A Common Stock originally granted under such award plus the amount of dividend equivalents accrued on the award during the performance period. The ultimate performance payout for the fiscal 2020 PSUs reflects the initial rigor associated with the performance goals established by the Compensation Committee, as well as its commitment to maintain these original performance goals through the significant uncertainty and economic headwinds

associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. Our named executive officers received shares of Class A Common Stock in respect of the fiscal 2020 PSUs determined by multiplying the target number of fiscal 2020 PSUs awarded (including accrued dividend equivalents) by the Final Performance Factor as follows:

Retirement Benefits

In conjunction with 21CF’s spin-off of FOX and the establishment of FOX as a standalone public company in March 2019 (the “Transaction”), the Company adopted and maintains certain legacy 21CF retirement benefits in which certain of our named executive officers participate. The Compensation Committee believes maintaining these legacy 21CF retirement benefits continues to serve as an important retention tool for long-tenure executives. For additional information on these arrangements, please see the “Pension Benefits as of June 30, 2022” table and the “Potential Payments Upon Termination” table, together with the accompanying footnotes, and the section titled “Description of Pension Benefits” in “Executive Compensation” below.

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. Perquisites constitute a very small percentage of each named executive officer’s total compensation package. The perquisites received by each named executive officer in fiscal 2022, as well as their incremental cost to the Company, are reported in the Summary Compensation Table and its accompanying footnotes below.

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. Our named executive officers must adhere to a security plan developed with the assistance of a third-party consultant and assessed annually by our Compensation Committee based on the high visibility of our Company, the executives’ positions and work locations, and a review of the judgments and recommendations of internal and external security experts. The Compensation Committee, with guidance from our third-party security consultant, has determined that these security-related costs are necessary to reduce the risk to the Company associated with our named executive officers’ positions and affiliation with our business. In particular, a core aspect of our business involves broadcasting extensive news coverage of elections, sociopolitical events and public controversies and related opinion programming, which sometimes produces strong reactions from viewers and critics. In addition, the FOX brand may be subject to significant publicity related to the Company or its operations, content and individuals associated with its content, management, employees, business partners and culture, among others. Due to their tenure and prominence in our industry, certain of our named executive officers – particularly our Chair and our Executive Chair and Chief Executive Officer – are synonymous with the FOX brand and face enhanced personal risk from being viewed as extensions of the FOX brand. In light of the risk inherent in their roles and the potential adverse impact this risk could have on the Company, the Compensation Committee approved the security plan and associated costs and considers our named executive officers’ adherence to this plan within the best interests of the Company.

Framework for Fiscal 2023 Long-Term Equity-Based Incentive Awards

In order to maintain our pay for performance principles, the Compensation Committee granted equity-based awards for fiscal 2023 in a form substantially consistent with those granted for fiscal 2022, as follows:

40				2022 Proxy Statement

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Collectively, the Compensation Committee allocated 85% of the grant value of the performance-based portion of each named executive officer’s fiscal 2023 target long-term incentive award to a hurdled stock performance metric and 15% of the grant value to Company financial projections. Consistent with prior PSUs granted to our named executive officers, the PSU and PSO performance metrics for the fiscal 2023 program are designed to align to stockholder value creation while maintaining 50% of the award as performance-based compensation. The Compensation Committee believes maintaining 50% of FOX’s long-term equity-based incentive awards as performance-based compensation for fiscal 2023 appropriately aligns our named executive officers’ interests with those of FOX’s shareholders. For comparison, only two-thirds of the members of the Peer Group grant performance-based equity as part of their regular annual long-term equity-based incentive programs; when granted, the long-term incentive award mix among members of the Peer Group is allocated approximately 50% to performance-based awards.

Employment Arrangements, Severance and Change in Control Arrangements

The Compensation Committee believes that employment agreements, which are broadly used in the media industry, are important tools to attract and retain executive talent. On April 26, 2019, the Company entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. L.K. Murdoch, Nallen, Dinh and Tomsic. On November 9, 2021, the Compensation Committee approved the extension of the terms of the agreements through June 30, 2026 for Messrs. L.K. Murdoch and Tomsic and through June 30, 2025 for Messrs. Nallen and Dinh.

The employment agreements generally provide for base salary, target Annual Incentive Compensation and target grants of long-term incentive awards for each year of the term of the respective agreement. 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 titled “Employment Arrangements” and “Potential Payments Upon Termination.”

Engagement with Stockholders and Compensation Committee’s Annual Review of its Compensation Practices

At the 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company’s stockholders voted to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of our named executive officers as described in the Company’s 2021 proxy statement. The Company’s 2021 executive compensation program received the support of 95% of the votes cast. Our Board and our Compensation Committee carefully considered the results of the 2021 say-on-pay vote and senior management engaged with every stockholder who accepted an invitation to speak with us.

During fiscal 2022, senior management actively and regularly engaged with our stockholders to offer them an opportunity to provide feedback regarding the Company’s performance. As part of this engagement, over 20 meetings were conducted with our largest stockholders who collectively held approximately 38% of the unaffiliated Class B Common Stock. Members of the Board, as well as members of senior management, participated in certain of these conversations. Senior management also participated in a number of meetings with individual and group investors at investor and industry conferences, including question-and-answer sessions. They also engaged with proxy advisors covering our Company, and our investor relations group separately responded to retail investor email and telephone inquiries, which also provided access to our representatives and a forum for providing feedback. Finally, senior management also engages with proponents of stockholder proposals as part of the Company’s annual proxy process.

This continued effort allowed senior management and Board members to exchange perspectives and receive input from stockholders on a number of topics. The majority of investors commented positively on the opportunity to furnish input on the issues important to them and shared their appreciation for the work of our named executive officers and, in certain instances, our compensation program and its alignment with stockholders’ interests.

			2022 Proxy Statement				41

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Compensation Committee considered feedback from stockholders obtained in these meetings as part of its evaluation of the effectiveness of the Company’s compensation program, including the compensation program for our named executive officers, and whether the compensation program reflects the interests of various stakeholders, including stockholders and employees. The Compensation Committee also shared the feedback from these meetings with the Board.

The Compensation Committee will continue to consider feedback from and engage with stockholders and monitor trends and developments to ensure that the Company’s executive compensation programs remain competitively positioned for executive talent and aligned with the interests of various stakeholders, including stockholders and employees.

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, 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.

Prohibition on Hedging and Pledging of FOX Stock

The Company prohibits all Directors and employees, including our named executive officers (and their family members and controlled entities that are subject to its Insider Trading and Confidentiality Policy), from engaging in short sales of the Company’s securities and investing in Company-based derivative securities. In addition, the Company prohibits all Directors and employees, including our named executive officers, from pledging any Company securities that they hold directly, hedging any Company securities that they hold directly or indirectly (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) or hedging or pledging equity compensation.

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. The Board has 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 base salary as follows:

As of the end of fiscal 2022, each of our named executive officers has achieved the appropriate ownership level in accordance with 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 count for purposes of assessing an executive’s ownership level. No portion of unexercised options (such as the current “in the money” value) nor any portion of unearned performance awards count for purposes of assessing an executive’s ownership level under the ownership guidelines.

Role of Compensation Consultant

The Compensation Committee has retained FW Cook to advise 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 the section titled “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 Incentive Compensation 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.

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 2022 and this proxy statement.

THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE:

Jacques Nasser (Chair)

Chase Carey

Anne Dias

Paul D. Ryan

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

During fiscal 2022, the Compensation Committee consisted of the following non-executive Directors: Jacques Nasser (Chair), Chase Carey, 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 Compensation Committee and senior 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 has sole discretion to 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.
