Updated Employee FAQs: July 7, 2026

This FAQ addresses questions that we have received from employees in connection with the pending acquisition of Roku by Fox Corporation.

We unfortunately cannot provide answers to all questions that we have received at this time, in particular questions that relate to integration matters or Fox's plans for the combined company following the closing of the transaction.

Equity and Stock

I own Roku stock. What happens to my shares?

Subject to the terms of the merger agreement, Roku shareholders will be entitled to receive $96.00 in cash and 0.9693 shares of Fox Corporation Class A common stock for each share of Roku stock they own at the close of the transaction, which is expected in the first half of 2027.

I hold unvested Roku RSU awards. What happens to my unvested Roku RSUs?

Upon the transaction closing, each unvested Roku RSU will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive the following:

(i)

a cash-based award that represents the right to receive $96.00 for each Roku share underlying the Roku RSU; and

(ii)

an award of Fox RSUs that represents the right to receive 0.9693 shares of Fox Class A common stock.

Fox will be able to decide whether to pay out the cash-based award in cash or shares of Fox Class A common stock (valued based on the closing trading price of the Fox Class A common stock on the day before the payment date), or a combination of both. These converted awards, including the cash-based award, will continue to vest on the same schedule (including any contractual acceleration rights) that applied to the applicable Roku RSUs immediately before closing. All amounts payable are subject to deduction for applicable withholding taxes.

An illustrative example is provided below.

•

Assume, for illustrative purposes, the acquisition closes on February 1, 2027 and you remained employed with Roku through June 1, 2027, subject to any contractual termination protections.

•

Immediately before the closing you had unvested RSUs with respect to 20 Roku shares, 10 of which are set to vest on March 1, 2027, and the last 10 on June 1, 2027.

•

At the closing, your unvested RSUs will be cancelled and converted into:

o

a cash-based award that represents the right to receive (subject to the same vesting schedule): $1,920 (20 shares * $96/share); and

o

an award of Fox RSUs that represents the right to receive (subject to the same vesting schedule): 19 shares of Fox Class A common stock (20 shares * 0.9693, rounded to the nearest whole share).

•

On March 1, 2027, you would now have the right to receive (subject to the merger agreement):

o

$960, payable in cash or in Fox Class A shares with a value of $960, based on the closing per share price of Fox Class A common stock on the last trading day before payment, or a combination thereof with the same value; PLUS

o

10 shares of Fox Class A common stock.

•

On June 1, 2027, you would now have the right to receive (subject to the merger agreement):

o

$960, payable in cash or in Fox Class A shares with a value of $960, based on the closing per share price of Fox Class A common stock on the last trading day before payment, or a combination thereof with the same value; PLUS

o

9 shares of Fox Class A common stock.

I have vested Roku options. What happens to my vested Roku options?

I have unvested Roku options. What happens to my unvested Roku options?

All amounts payable with respect to your Fox Options and Cash Awards are subject to deduction for applicable withholding taxes.

Can I sell shares received upon settlement of my RSUs that are not yet vested but will vest prior to the closing of the transaction?

I have resigned from Roku. What happens to my equity awards?

•

Unvested awards will be cancelled upon your termination date.

•

Vested but unexercised options are retained for the period of time defined in your grant agreement. Upon closing of the transaction, if still outstanding, they will be treated like all other vested but unexercised options.

I have a 10b5-1 plan. Does this remain in effect?

•

10b5-1 plans that were in progress but not yet finalized at the time the window closed (on June 15th) have been cancelled.

•

10b5-1 plans that were in place at the time the merger agreement was signed remain in effect.

•

For additional questions regarding 10b5-1 plans, please email [email protected].

Workforce and Transitions

What if I do not want to continue with the combined company after closing?

•

You can voluntarily resign but you would not be eligible for any severance.

Treatment of health benefit plans will be confirmed closer to closing.

I'm on a work visa. What does this mean for me?

Roku will continue to provide support to employees currently on sponsored visas in the ordinary course.

Why Fox and Roku

Roku is merging with Fox because the Roku board and senior management believe this will ensure a better future for the company. As Anthony stated in our press release on June 15, "Over the past two decades, we've built Roku into the leading TV streaming platform, reaching more than 100 million households globally and reshaping how people discover and enjoy entertainment. I'm incredibly proud of what our team has built, and the combination with FOX is an extraordinary opportunity to accelerate our vision, scale faster, and innovate more aggressively for viewers, partners, and advertisers. That's why our Board of Directors unanimously determined after concluding its strategic review process that this transaction offers a significant premium to Roku shareholders while also providing them with the opportunity to participate in the compelling future upside of the combined company. I couldn't be more excited about what we'll accomplish together."
