to various risks and uncertainties. These risks and uncertainties
include, without limitation, risks relating to: entering,
maintaining and renewing major distribution agreements; WWE Network
(including the risk that we are unable to attract, retain and renew

entertaining programs and events; the possibility of 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

performance, which could adversely affect our stock; Vincent K.
McMahon exercises control over our affairs, and his interests may
conflict with the holders of our Class A common stock; a
substantial number of shares 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 historical and projected 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
