On November 15, 2019, the day after the date of the 2019 annual meeting of the stockholders of Fox Corporation (the “Company”), in accordance with the terms of that certain Rights Agreement dated as of March 19, 2019, by and between the Company and Computershare Trust Company, N.A., as rights agent (as amended, the “Rights Agreement”), the rights issued thereunder expired.

On November 20, 2019, the Company filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware a Certificate of Elimination (the “Certificate of Elimination”), which, effective upon filing, eliminated from the Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation all matters set forth in the Company’s Certificate of Designation, Preferences, and Rights of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock of Fox Corporation (the “Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock”), as filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware on March 19, 2019. The 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock previously designated as Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were eliminated and returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock, without designation. The Company’s stockholders are not required to take any action as a result of the expiration of the Rights Agreement. No shares of the Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock were issued and outstanding at the time of filing of the Certificate of Elimination.

The foregoing is a summary of the terms of the Certificate of Elimination. The summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Certificate of Elimination, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
