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; 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
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 complementary
businesses and/or strategic investments; our computer systems and
online operations; privacy norms and regulations; a possible
decline in general economic conditions and disruption in financial
markets; our 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 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 Board of Directors may consider relevant.
