Sept 8 (Reuters) -
The Murdoch family reached a deal that will see Rupert
Murdoch's politically conservative son Lachlan Murdoch cement
control of the family media empire which includes Fox News and
the Wall Street Journal.
Fox Corp ( FOXA ) said on Monday that it has reached a
mutual resolution on the legal proceedings related to the
Murdoch Family Trust, resulting in the termination of all
litigation.
A new family trust will be established to benefit Lachlan
Murdoch, Grace Murdoch and Chloe Murdoch.
The Murdoch children will be beneficiaries of a new trust,
which will receive cash from the sale of about 16.9 million
shares of Fox Class B stock and about 14.2 million shares of
News Corp's ( NWSA ) Class B common stock. The amount of the payment was
not disclosed.
