Ruby Newco LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, or Newco, is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of News Corporation. Newco was formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the merger. Newco has not carried on any activities or operations to date, except for those activities incidental to its formation and undertaken in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. Upon completion of the merger, Dow Jones will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco, and Newco will be owned solely by News Corporation and former Dow Jones stockholders who receive the unit consideration in the merger, if any. Newco has made an election to be classified as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Diamond Merger Sub Corporation

1211 Avenue of the Americas

New York, NY 10036

Telephone: (212) 852-7000

Diamond Merger Sub Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco, or Merger Sub, was formed solely for the purpose of facilitating the merger. Merger Sub has not carried on any activities or operations to date, except for those activities incidental to its formation and undertaken in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement. By operation of the merger, Merger Sub will be merged into Dow Jones, Merger Sub’s separate existence will cease and Dow Jones will continue as a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco.

The Merger (Page 50)

Under the merger agreement, Merger Sub will be merged into Dow Jones. Dow Jones will be the surviving corporation in the merger. As a result of the merger, Dow Jones will become a wholly owned subsidiary of Newco, a direct subsidiary of News Corporation. As the surviving corporation following the merger, Dow Jones will continue to do business immediately following the merger as “Dow Jones & Company, Inc.”

Merger Consideration; Election to Receive Newco Class B Common Units Instead of Cash (Page 86)

Except for Dow Jones shares for which the unit election described below is made, each share of Dow Jones common stock and Class B common stock, other than shares held by stockholders who properly demand and perfect appraisal rights, will be converted in the merger into the right to receive $60.00 in cash, without interest and less any applicable withholding taxes. We refer to this as the cash consideration.

Each Dow Jones stockholder who is a record holder (other than a broker, dealer, bank or similar nominee holding shares on behalf of the beneficial owner(s)) of certificated Dow Jones shares, meaning the stockholder holds Dow Jones shares in certificated form directly and not through a broker, dealer, bank or similar nominee, will have the opportunity to elect to receive Newco Class B common units for all or a portion of those certificated Dow Jones shares, instead of receiving the cash consideration for those shares. We have limited the right to make a unit election to record holders (other than brokers, dealers, banks or other similar nominees holding shares on behalf of their beneficial owners) who hold Dow Jones shares in certificated form to provide greater transparency to Newco regarding the identities of the holders actually obtaining beneficial ownership of Newco Class B common units in the merger and thereby increase the likelihood that Newco will be successful in enforcing limitations on the number of holders receiving Newco Class B common units in the merger and limitations on the transfer of Newco Class B common units following the merger. We refer to the election to receive Newco Class B common units as the unit election. Under the merger agreement, the number of Newco Class B common units you will be entitled to receive for each Dow Jones share for which you make a valid unit election will be determined at closing by dividing $60.00 by the volume weighted average price per share of News Corporation Class A common stock on the NYSE over the five (5) trading days ending on the last trading day preceding the closing date of the merger. We refer to the Newco Class B common units payable for each Dow Jones share as the unit consideration.

Unless you make a valid election to receive the unit consideration with respect to a Dow Jones share owned by you, you will receive the cash consideration for that share.

Under the terms of the merger agreement, even if you properly elect the unit consideration for some or all of your shares of Dow Jones, your right to receive the unit consideration is subject to the following limitations:

Based on the volume weighted average price of News Corporation Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five (5) trading days ending on November [__], 2007, the last practicable date preceding the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, and assuming that Newco Class B common units were issued in exchange for 8,599,159 Dow Jones shares, the maximum number of Newco Class B common units to be issued in the merger would be [            ]. Based on the volume weighted average price of News Corporation Class A common stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the five (5) trading days ending on November [__], 2007, the last practicable date preceding the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the maximum number of shares of News Corporation Class A common stock issuable upon the exchange of Newco Class B common units and upon exercise of News Corporation equity awards issued in exchange for Dow Jones equity awards in connection with the merger would be [            ].

The merger agreement contemplates that Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, or other counsel satisfactory to Dow Jones, will deliver to Dow Jones at the closing of the merger a legal opinion, which we refer to as the tax opinion, to the effect that the transaction should qualify for tax-free treatment under Section 351 of the Code and that the Newco Class B common units should not constitute “nonqualified preferred stock” within the meaning of Section 351(g) of the Code. Delivery of this tax opinion is not a condition to the closing of the merger.

If the Dow Jones board of directors determines in accordance with the terms of the merger agreement that Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson, or other counsel satisfactory to Dow Jones, is unable to deliver the tax opinion at the closing of the merger or that the closing of the merger would be reasonably likely to be materially delayed or precluded because:

and Dow Jones provides notice of this determination to News Corporation before the later of the tenth (10^th) business day before the closing date or the second (2^nd) calendar day before the special meeting, under the terms of the merger agreement, the merger will be restructured to eliminate the unit election feature. In the event this restructuring occurs, each share of Dow Jones common stock and Class B common stock will be converted into the right to receive the cash consideration. This restructuring is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as a transaction restructuring.

In addition, if Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, or other counsel satisfactory to Dow Jones, is unable to deliver to Dow Jones the tax opinion referred to above at the closing of the merger, but the Dow Jones board of directors does not make the determination referred to above before the later of the tenth (10^th) business day before the closing date or the second (2^nd) calendar day before the special meeting, the inability to receive this tax opinion will not result in a transaction restructuring and Dow Jones stockholders will continue to be able to make unit elections for their Dow Jones shares. However, Dow Jones and News Corporation will issue a public statement disclosing that Dow Jones will be unable to receive the tax opinion. Under this circumstance, the election deadline will be extended, as necessary, to ensure that Dow Jones stockholders who previously made a unit election for their shares have at least five (5) business days after the day Dow Jones and News Corporation issue this public statement to revoke their unit elections.

In determining whether to vote to approve and adopt the merger agreement, Dow Jones stockholders should consider that, if a transaction restructuring occurs, they will not have the ability to make a unit election for their Dow Jones shares, and the cash consideration they will receive generally will be taxable to them for U.S. federal income tax purposes. They should also consider that the merger may be completed even if Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, or other counsel satisfactory to Dow Jones, is unable to deliver to Dow Jones the tax opinion referred to above at the closing of the merger.

Dow Jones does not intend to resolicit its stockholders to approve and adopt the merger agreement in the event that a transaction restructuring occurs or, in the event that Fried, Frank, Harris, Shriver & Jacobson LLP, or other counsel satisfactory to Dow Jones, is unable to deliver to Dow Jones the tax opinion at the closing, after the Dow Jones stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement.

Newco Class B Common Units (Page 144 & Page 165)

For the first 120 days after the closing of the merger, the Newco Class B common units will not be exchangeable for News Corporation Class A common stock. Between the 121^st and 180^th day after the closing of the merger, each holder of Newco Class B common units will be permitted to exchange up to 25% of the total number of units that the holder received in the merger for shares of News Corporation Class A common stock. Following the 180^th day after the closing of the merger, any or all Newco Class B common units may be freely exchanged for shares of News Corporation Class A common stock. The exchange rate will be one (1) share of News Corporation Class A common stock for each Newco Class B common unit, subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. For more information regarding the Newco Class B common units, see “Comparison of Stockholders’ Rights” beginning on page 144 and “Amended and Restated Operating Agreement of Newco” beginning on page 165.

Newco anticipates that it will pay distributions on Newco Class A common units and Newco Class B common units on a regular basis equal to the regular dividends paid on shares of News Corporation Class A common stock, subject to adjustment based on the exchange ratio then in effect. However, distributions are payable only when, as and if, declared by the Newco board of managers out of legally available funds and there is no guarantee that any distributions will be paid. Holders of Newco Class B common units will be entitled to vote in the election of managers of Newco and with respect to certain other matters as set forth in the amended and restated operating agreement of Newco.

Newco Class B common units will not be listed on any securities exchange and will be subject to significant restrictions on transfer. For example, any unit transfer that would result in Newco Class B common units being held by more than 250 record holders, require registration or qualification of the applicable Newco Class B common units under any applicable state or federal securities laws or would result in the creation or continuation of any reporting obligations of Newco pursuant to the Exchange Act will be prohibited. Consequently, trading activity, if any, in the Newco Class B common units is likely to be very limited. In addition, because the Newco Class B common units will not be listed on a securities exchange, it may be difficult to obtain pricing information with respect to Newco Class B common units. As a result, Newco expects that its Class B common units will be effectively illiquid.

Opinion of Dow Jones’ Financial Advisor (Page 71)

Goldman Sachs & Co., referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as Goldman Sachs, rendered its opinion to Dow Jones’ board of directors that, as of July 31, 2007 and based upon and subject to the factors and assumptions set forth in its opinion, the $60.00 per share of Dow Jones common stock in cash to be received by the holders of Dow Jones common stock pursuant to the merger agreement was fair from a financial point of view to the holders of Dow Jones common stock.

The full text of the written opinion of Goldman Sachs, dated July 31, 2007, which sets forth assumptions made, procedures followed, matters considered and limitations on the review undertaken in connection with the opinion, is attached as Annex E. Goldman Sachs provided its opinion for the information and assistance of Dow Jones’ board of directors in connection with its consideration of the transaction. Goldman Sachs’ opinion is not a recommendation as to how any holder of Dow Jones’ common stock should vote or make any election with respect to the transaction or any other matter. See the section “The Merger—Opinion of Financial Advisor to Dow Jones” beginning on page 71.

Recommendation of the Dow Jones Board of Directors (Page 62)

The Dow Jones board of directors has, by the affirmative vote of all twelve (12) directors present at the special meeting of the Dow Jones board of directors held on July 31, 2007, approved and declared advisable the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, determined that the terms of the merger agreement are fair to, and in the best interests of, Dow Jones and its stockholders and recommended that Dow Jones stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. Two former Dow Jones directors, Mr. von Holtzbrinck and Ms. Hill, who had at a previous meeting abstained from voting in support of a transaction with News Corporation, resigned from the Dow Jones board of directors prior to July 31, 2007 and, therefore, were not present at the July 31, 2007 meeting of the Dow Jones board of directors. In their letters of resignation, each of Mr. von Holtzbrinck and Ms. Hill expressed concerns about maintaining the editorial independence of the Dow Jones publications following the merger. The resignation letters of Mr. von Holtzbrinck and Ms. Hill are described in the section “Background of the Merger” beginning on page 50 of this proxy statement/prospectus. In addition, Dow Jones directors Christopher Bancroft and David K. P. Li were also not present at the July 31, 2007 meeting. The Dow Jones board of directors also recommends that Dow Jones stockholders vote FOR the adjournment of the special meeting, if necessary to solicit additional proxies.

You should refer to the factors considered by the Dow Jones board of directors in making its decision to approve the merger agreement and recommend that Dow Jones stockholders vote FOR the approval and adoption of the merger agreement. See “Reasons for the Merger” beginning on page 62.

The Dow Jones board of directors makes no recommendation as to whether any stockholder should make a unit election and makes no recommendation regarding the Newco Class B common units or the shares of Class A common stock of News Corporation issuable upon the exchange of Newco Class B common units. Dow Jones’ board of directors has not received an opinion from Goldman Sachs or any other advisor as to the fairness, from a financial point of view, of the unit consideration. A stockholder’s determination to make a unit election is a voluntary decision. In making this decision, you will not have the benefit of any recommendation of Dow Jones’ board of directors or any opinion of the board of directors’ financial advisor. In making a decision whether to make a unit election, you should carefully consider all of the information included or incorporated in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the Risk Factors beginning on page 35.

Interests of Dow Jones’ Directors and Executive Officers in the Merger (Page 65)

When you consider the Dow Jones board of directors’ recommendation that Dow Jones stockholders vote in favor of the approval and adoption of the merger agreement, you should be aware that executive officers and directors may have interests in the merger that may be different from, or in addition to, the interests of other Dow Jones stockholders generally.

Each executive officer and other participant in the Dow Jones severance plan for senior management will be entitled to receive a lump sum severance payment (in the case of the executive officers, equal to eighteen or twenty-four months of salary, depending on the executive’s salary grade), plus certain retirement, health and other benefits if his or her employment is terminated without “cause” or he or she resigns under circumstances

constituting a “constructive termination”, in either case within twenty-four months following the closing of the merger. In addition, each of the executive officers of Dow Jones will be entitled to full indemnification for any “golden parachute” excise taxes. If the closing of the merger occurs on December 31, 2007 and all executive officers are terminated immediately after closing, the total value of these payments to and benefits for executive officers would be approximately $34 million.

In addition, as a result of the merger, all contingent stock rights held by the executive officers of Dow Jones and other recipients will be valued at their “target” amount. After the closing, executive officers and other holders of contingent stock rights will be entitled to receive, for each quarter during the performance period applicable to their contingent stock rights, cash payments equal to the number of Dow Jones shares subject to their contingent stock rights immediately before the merger multiplied by $0.25, the amount of the regular quarterly dividend currently paid on Dow Jones shares.

If an executive officer or any other holder of a Dow Jones equity award is terminated without “cause” or he or she resigns under circumstances constituting a “constructive termination” within twenty-four months following the closing:

If the closing of the merger occurs on December 31, 2007 and all executive officers are terminated immediately after the closing, the total value of the amounts that the Dow Jones executive officers would be entitled to receive in respect of their unvested stock options, restricted stock and contingent stock rights is approximately $26 million. See “Treatment of Dow Jones Stock Options and Other Equity Awards.”

The Dow Jones board of directors was aware of these interests and considered them in approving and adopting the merger agreement and recommending that Dow Jones stockholders vote to approve and adopt the merger agreement.

Treatment of Dow Jones Stock Options and Other Equity Awards (Page 88)

At the effective time, outstanding, in-the-money Dow Jones stock options and stock appreciation rights (SARs) (whether vested or unvested), shares of restricted Dow Jones common stock, Dow Jones restricted stock units and Dow Jones contingent stock rights will generally be converted into the right to receive, at the effective time, in the case of vested stock options or SARs, and at the time of vesting, in the case of all other equity awards, the cash consideration less any applicable exercise price, or at the election of the holder in accordance with the procedures described under the section entitled “The Equity Awards Exchange” beginning on page 175, into News Corporation equity awards, pursuant to which the holder would acquire a number of shares of News Corporation Class A common stock (or an option to acquire a number of shares in the case of optionees) determined in accordance with the merger agreement. Outstanding out-of-the-money Dow Jones stock options and SARs (whether or not vested) will be converted at the effective time into options to acquire a number of shares of News Corporation Class A common stock based on the exchange ratio. Neither the board of directors nor the management of Dow Jones is making any recommendation as to whether any holder of any Dow Jones equity awards should elect to convert his or her Dow Jones equity awards into News Corporation equity awards. They are also not making any recommendation regarding the shares of Class A common stock of News Corporation that underlie those News Corporation equity awards.

The Equity Awards Exchange (Page 175)

The executive officers of Dow Jones and certain other award recipients hold Dow Jones equity awards in the form of vested and unvested stock options and SARs, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and contingent stock rights. In this proxy statement/prospectus, we refer to these Dow Jones vested and unvested stock options, SARs, shares of restricted stock, restricted stock units and contingent stock rights as Dow Jones equity awards. Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, holders of Dow Jones equity awards may elect to have some or all of their Dow Jones equity awards converted into News Corporation equity awards. The terms and conditions of the election, as well as detailed instructions for making an election, are described in the section “The Equity Awards Exchange”, beginning on page 175 and in the election form being sent to the holders of Dow Jones equity awards together with this proxy statement/prospectus.

Voting and Support Agreement / News Corporation Board Representation (Page 115)

News Corporation has entered into a voting and support agreement, referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the voting agreement, with certain members of the Bancroft family and trustees of trusts for their benefit, referred to, collectively, in this proxy statement/prospectus as the Bancroft family member and trust stockholder signatories. Under the terms of the voting agreement, the Bancroft family member and trust stockholder signatories have agreed to vote Dow Jones shares held by them representing approximately 37% of the aggregate voting power of all Dow Jones shares in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and against third party acquisition proposals and any action or proposal that would reasonably be expected to prevent or materially impede the merger.

Pursuant to the merger agreement, the News Corporation board of directors has agreed to take all requisite action to cause a member of the Bancroft family or another mutually agreed upon individual to become a member of the class of News Corporation’s board of directors with the longest remaining term as of the closing of the merger. This individual is referred to in this proxy statement/prospectus as the initial Bancroft director.

Pursuant to the voting agreement, for a period of ten (10) years following the closing of the merger, if at any time the seat on the News Corporation board of directors held by the initial Bancroft director becomes vacant or the initial Bancroft director is not re-nominated, the Chairman of the News Corporation board of directors will

propose another member of the Bancroft family to the nominating and governance committee of the News Corporation board of directors for nomination for appointment or election to the News Corporation board of directors. Once the nominating and governance committee has approved the proposed Bancroft family member for nomination or appointment to the News Corporation board of directors, News Corporation will send a notice of the approval to the special committee established under the editorial agreement for its consent. If the nominating and governance committee does not approve or the special committee does not consent, the Chairman of the News Corporation board of directors will propose another member of the Bancroft family and the process described above will continue until a Bancroft family member is nominated. This nominee will then be submitted to News Corporation stockholders for election to the News Corporation board and if not so elected or not so submitted for election another Bancroft family member shall be nominated in accordance with the procedures described above and shall be appointed to the News Corporation board of directors. These obligations will also be applicable to the replacement of any successor to the initial Bancroft director in accordance with the voting agreement during the ten (10) year period. All commitments of the News Corporation board of directors and the Chairman of the News Corporation board of directors described in the preceding two sentences will terminate if the voting agreement is terminated for any reason other than the occurrence of the effective time of the merger.

The voting agreement will terminate upon the earliest to occur of: (i) the mutual agreement of all parties to the voting agreement; (ii) the effective time of the merger; (iii) the termination of the merger agreement in accordance with its terms; (iv) the vote of a majority (in terms of aggregate voting power) of the Dow Jones

shares subject to the voting agreement by the Bancroft family member and trust stockholder signatories in connection with a “superior acquisition proposal” (as defined in the voting agreement); and (v) a public announcement by the Dow Jones board of directors expressly withdrawing its recommendation that Dow Jones stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement. Additionally, subject to a specified exception, any Bancroft family member and trust stockholder signatory may terminate the voting agreement as to that Bancroft family member or trust stockholder signatory in the event the merger agreement is amended in a manner that results in any decrease in the merger consideration. The voting agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B.

K. Rupert Murdoch, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of News Corporation, and the Murdoch Family Trust have entered into a separate agreement, which is an exhibit to the registration statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, obligating them, for a period of ten (10) years, to vote in favor of the election of the initial Bancroft director or any successor in accordance with the voting agreement at any meeting of News Corporation’s stockholders at which the initial Bancroft director or any successor stands for election. All commitments of Mr. Murdoch and the Murdoch Family Trust described in the preceding sentence will terminate upon the termination of the voting agreement for any reason other than occurrence of the effective time of the merger.

Certain Payments on Behalf of, or Reimbursement to, Certain Dow Jones Stockholders (Page 71)

Dow Jones has agreed that, in connection with the closing of the merger, it will pay on behalf of, or reimburse, certain of the Bancroft family members and trusts for their benefit an aggregate of $30 million in respect of fees and expenses of financial, legal and other advisors.

Financing of the Merger (Page 80)

Assuming Dow Jones stockholders make no unit elections with respect to shares of Dow Jones, News Corporation estimates that the total amount of funds necessary to complete the proposed merger and the related transactions is approximately $5.3 billion. News Corporation intends to use cash on hand to pay the cash portion of the merger consideration.

Editorial Agreement (Page 117)

At the closing of the merger, News Corporation and Dow Jones will enter into an agreement relating to editorial and journalistic independence and integrity, which we refer to as the editorial agreement. The editorial agreement establishes a special committee comprised of five distinguished community or journalistic leaders who are independent of News Corporation, Dow Jones, the Murdoch family and the Bancroft family. The parties have agreed that the initial members of the special committee will be Louis Boccardi, Thomas Bray, Jennifer Dunn, Jack Fuller and Nicholas Negroponte. Thomas Bray will be chairman of the special committee. The special committee will be entitled to enforce its rights and the terms of, and any decisions or determinations made under, the editorial agreement against News Corporation or Dow Jones. The special committee will have rights of approval over, and the power to arbitrate disputes regarding, the appointment and removal of the managing editor of The Wall Street Journal and the editorial page editor of The Wall Street Journal and the managing editor of Dow Jones Newswires, as well as any changes to the authority of any of those editors. The form of editorial agreement is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex C.

Newco Operating Agreement (Page 165)

At the effective time, Newco will adopt an amended and restated operating agreement which will thereafter govern the conduct of the affairs of Newco as well as the rights of the holders of equity interests in Newco, including the Newco Class B common units, if any, issued to Dow Jones stockholders in the merger. The form of amended and restated operating agreement of Newco is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex D.

Ownership of Newco Following the Merger (Page 173)

Immediately following the merger, former Dow Jones stockholders will own no greater than 10% of the outstanding equity interests of Newco through their ownership of Newco Class B common units and News Corporation will own no less than 90% of the outstanding equity interests of Newco through its ownership of Newco Class A common units.

Conditions to the Merger (Page 104)

Before the merger can be completed, a number of conditions must be satisfied or (to the extent permitted under applicable laws and the terms of the merger agreement) waived. These conditions include, among other conditions:

However, Dow Jones and News Corporation have agreed that, in the event of a transaction restructuring, the conditions to the closing of the merger relating to the effectiveness of the registration statement, of which this proxy statement/prospectus is a part, the listing of shares of News Corporation Class A common stock and certain of News Corporation’s representations and warranties will be eliminated.

On August 28, 2007, the Premerger Notification Office of the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act in connection with the merger. Consequently, the condition

with respect to termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act has been satisfied. On September 10, 2007, the required approval was received from German authorities. On September 13, 2007, the required approval was received from Irish authorities. On September 20, 2007, the required approval was received from Austrian authorities. Consequently, the condition with respect to the receipt of required approvals under the laws of Germany, Austria and Ireland has been satisfied.

Restrictions on Recommendation Withdrawal (Page 98)

The merger agreement generally restricts the ability of the Dow Jones board of directors to withdraw its recommendation that Dow Jones stockholders approve and adopt the merger agreement. However, if the Dow Jones board of directors (after consultation with its outside counsel) determines in good faith that the failure to withdraw this recommendation would be reasonably likely to be inconsistent with its fiduciary duties under applicable law, then the Dow Jones board of directors may withdraw this recommendation.

Restrictions on Solicitation of Third Party Acquisition Proposals (Page 99)

The merger agreement generally restricts Dow Jones’ ability to: (1) solicit or knowingly encourage the making of any third party proposal for the acquisition of a significant interest in Dow Jones’ equity or assets or engage in any discussions with any person who has made, or Dow Jones knows may make, a third party proposal for the acquisition of a significant interest in Dow Jones’ equity or assets, or (2) approve or recommend any third party proposal or enter into any definitive agreement providing for a third party proposal. However, under certain circumstances specified in the merger agreement, if the Dow Jones board of directors (after consultation with its independent financial advisors and outside counsel) determines in good faith that any unsolicited third party acquisition proposal constitutes or would reasonably be expected to result in a superior acquisition proposal, as defined in the merger agreement, then the Dow Jones board of directors may provide due diligence information to, and engage in discussion with, the party that made the acquisition proposal.

Termination of the Merger Agreement (Page 105)

Dow Jones and News Corporation may terminate the merger agreement by mutual written consent at any time before the completion of the merger (including after the Dow Jones stockholders have approved and adopted the merger agreement). In addition, either Dow Jones or News Corporation may terminate the merger agreement if:

In addition, Dow Jones may terminate the merger agreement if:

In addition, News Corporation may terminate the merger agreement:

Termination Fees (Page 107)

Dow Jones must pay to News Corporation a break-up fee of $165 million if:

In addition, Dow Jones must pay the actual and reasonably documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses of News Corporation in connection with the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, up to a maximum amount of $25 million, if either News Corporation or Dow Jones terminates the merger agreement because of a failure to obtain the Dow Jones stockholder approval at the special meeting. In the event that the $165 million break-up fee becomes payable, any amounts paid by Dow Jones in respect of the fees and expenses of News Corporation will be credited against the break-up fee.

For more information, see “The Merger Agreement—Termination Fees and Expenses” beginning on page 107.

Regulatory Approvals (Page 80)

Under the HSR Act, the merger may not be completed until notification and report forms have been filed with the U.S. Federal Trade Commission, or the FTC, and the Antitrust Division of the U.S. Department of Justice, or the Antitrust Division, and the applicable waiting period has expired or been terminated. On August 16, 2007, each of Dow Jones and News Corporation filed its notification and report form under the HSR Act with the FTC and the Antitrust Division. On August 28, 2007, the Premerger Notification Office of the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period under the HSR Act in connection with the merger.

The merger is also subject to, and the parties’ obligations to complete the merger are conditioned on, approval by governmental authorities in Germany, Ireland and Austria under the antitrust/competition laws of those jurisdictions. The competition filing required in Germany was made by the parties on August 21, 2007 and the required approval was received on September 10, 2007. The competition filing required in Ireland was made by the parties on August 27, 2007 and the required approval was received on September 13, 2007. The competition filing required in Austria was made by the parties on August 23, 2007 and the required approval was received on September 20, 2007.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the merger agreement, News Corporation has agreed to take all actions necessary to obtain all regulatory clearances necessary to complete the merger before the termination date specified in the merger agreement.

Rights of Stockholders to Seek Appraisal (Page 129)

Under Delaware law, holders of Dow Jones common stock or Class B common stock who do not vote in favor of adopting the merger agreement will have the right to seek appraisal of the fair value of their shares of Dow Jones common stock and/or Class B common stock as determined by the Delaware Court of Chancery if the merger is completed, but only if they comply with all applicable requirements of Delaware law. These requirements are summarized in this proxy statement/prospectus. This appraisal amount could be more than, the same as or less than the merger consideration. Among other requirements, any holder of Dow Jones common stock or Class B common stock intending to exercise appraisal rights must submit a written demand for an appraisal to Dow Jones prior to the vote on the adoption of the merger agreement and must not vote or otherwise submit a proxy in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement. Your failure to strictly follow exactly the procedures specified under Delaware law will result in the loss of your appraisal rights. See “Dissenters’ Rights of Appraisal” beginning on page 129 for information regarding these procedures. The provisions of Delaware law that address appraisal rights and govern the required procedures are attached as Annex F to this proxy statement/prospectus.

Market Price of Dow Jones Common Stock (Page 32)
