Forward-Looking Statements: This
press release contains forward-looking statements pursuant to the
safe harbor provisions of the Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995, which are subject to various risks and uncertainties. These
risks and uncertainties include, without limitation, risks relating
to: WWE Network; major distribution agreements; our need to
continue to develop creative and entertaining programs and events;
a decline in the popularity of our brand of sports entertainment;
the continued importance of key performers and the services of
Vincent K. McMahon; possible adverse changes in the regulatory
atmosphere and related private sector initiatives; the highly
competitive, rapidly changing and increasingly fragmented nature of
the markets in which we operate and greater financial resources or
marketplace presence of many of our competitors; uncertainties
associated with international markets; our difficulty or inability
to promote and conduct our live events and/or other businesses if
we do not comply with applicable regulations; our dependence on our
intellectual property rights, our need to protect those rights, and
the risks of our infringement of others’ intellectual property
rights; the complexity of our rights agreements across distribution
mechanisms and geographical areas; potential substantial liability
in the event of accidents or injuries occurring during our
physically demanding events including, without limitation, claims
relating to CTE; large public events as well as travel to and from
such events; our feature film business; our expansion into new or

accounts receivable; our revolving credit facility; litigation; our
potential failure to meet market expectations for our financial
performance, which could adversely affect our stock; Vincent K.
McMahon exercising control over our affairs, and his interests may
conflict with the holders of our Class A common stock; a
substantial number of shares which are eligible for sale by the
McMahons and the sale, or the perception of possible sales, of
those shares could lower our stock price; and the relatively small
public “float” of our Class A common stock. In addition, our
dividend is dependent on a number of factors, including, among
other things, our liquidity and cash flow, strategic plan
(including alternative uses of capital), our financial results and
condition, contractual and legal restrictions on the payment of
dividends (including under our revolving credit facility), general
economic and competitive conditions and such other factors as our
Board of Directors may consider relevant. Forward-looking
