Forward-Looking Statements: This
press release contains forward-looking statements with respect to
WWE (the “Company”) 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 complementary

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 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
