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
