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

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
