to: the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on our business, results of
operations and financial condition; entering, maintaining and
renewing major distribution agreements; a rapidly evolving media

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 including possible disruptions and
reputational risks; 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 volatility 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,
