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. Forward-looking statements made by the Company
