“outlook,” “target,” “goal,” “guidance” and similar expressions are
intended to identify forward-looking statements, although not all

expectations and intentions and are not historical facts and
accordingly involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties and
other factors that may cause the actual results or the performance
by us to be materially different from expected future results or
performance expressed or implied by any forward-looking
statements.
These forward-looking statements are subject to uncertainties
relating to, without limitation, the impact of the actions
described herein; the ability of Mr. McMahon, through his
beneficial ownership of a substantial majority of our Class B
common stock, to exercise ultimate control over our affairs; the
complexity of the Company’s rights agreements across distribution
mechanisms and geographical areas; the recent changes relating to
the composition of the Board; the assumption by Nick Khan of the
role of sole CEO of the Company; perception by the Company’s
management, stockholders, customers, talent and partners of the
actions described herein; reputational harm to the Company’s
relationships with its stockholders, customers, talent and
partners, which may have adverse financial and operational impacts;
and future financial and operational results, including our outlook
for future financial results, among other factors.
Such forward-looking statements are based on available current
information and our current expectations, including beliefs and
forecasts concerning future developments and the potential effects
of such developments on us. The following additional factors, among
others, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
contained in forward-looking statements: COVID-19, which may
continue to affect negatively world economies as well as our
industry, business and results of operations; our ability to enter,
maintain and renew major distribution and licensing agreements (on
attractive terms or otherwise); the Company’s review of strategic
alternatives and the outcome(s) thereof; a rapidly evolving and
highly competitive media landscape; WWE Network; computer systems,
content delivery and online operations of our Company and our
business partners; privacy norms and regulations; our need to
continue to develop creative and entertaining programs and events;
our need to retain and continue to recruit key performers; the
possibility of a decline in the popularity of our brand of sports
entertainment; 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/or our inability to compete
effectively, especially against competitors with greater financial
resources or marketplace presence; 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; potential
substantial liability in the event of accidents or injuries
occurring during our physically demanding events; large public
events as well as travel to and from such events; our expansion
into new or complementary businesses, strategic investments and/or
acquisitions; our accounts receivable; the construction and move to
our new leased corporate and media production headquarters;
litigation and other actions, investigations or proceedings; a
change in the tax laws of key jurisdictions; our feature film
business; inflationary pressures and interest rate changes; our
indebtedness including our convertible notes; our potential failure
to meet market expectations for our financial performance;
conflicts of interests between holders of our Class A common stock
and Mr. McMahon, our controlling stockholder with beneficial
ownership of a substantial majority of our Class B common stock;
our share repurchase program; 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 cause our stock price to
decline; and the volatility in trading prices of our Class A common
stock. In addition, our dividend and share repurchases are
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 may consider relevant.
