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; 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 speak
