James Murdoch of News Corp (NWSA) Comments on Awarded Bonus

September 2, 2011 2:33 PM EDT
In light of the current controversy surrounding News of the World, I have declined the bonus that the company chose to award to me. While the financial and operating performance metrics on which the bonus decision was based are not associated with this matter, I feel that declining the bonus is the right thing to do. I will consult with the Compensation Committee in the future about whether any bonus may be appropriate at a later date.

News Corporation (NASDAQ: NWS) (Nasdaq: NWSA) had total assets as of June 30, 2011 of approximately US$62 billion and total annual revenues of approximately US$33 billion.
