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

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.
