following additional factors, among others, could cause actual
results to differ materially from those contained in
forward-looking statements: the COVID-19 outbreak, which may
continue to affect negatively world economies as well as our
industry, business and results of operations; entering, maintaining
and renewing major distribution and licensing agreements; 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

jurisdictions; our feature film business; a possible decline in
general economic conditions and disruption in financial markets
including any resulting from COVID-19; our indebtedness including
our convertible notes; our potential failure to meet market
expectations for our financial performance; through his beneficial
ownership of a substantial majority of our Class B common stock,
our controlling stockholder, Vincent K. McMahon could exercise
ultimate control over our affairs, and his interests may conflict
with the holders of our Class A 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 lower our stock price; and the volatility 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 of Directors may consider relevant.
