The disclosure under Item 3 hereof is incorporated by reference.

The Reporting Persons may purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock or similar securities from time to time, either in brokerage transactions in the over-the-counter market or in privately-negotiated transactions. Any decision by any Reporting Person to increase her or its holdings of Class A Common Stock or Class B Common Stock will depend on various factors, including, but not limited to, the price of the shares of Class A Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions. The Reporting Persons may acquire beneficial ownership of additional shares of Class B Common Stock from time to time in connection with any future gifts by Vincent McMahon.

The Reporting Persons also may, at any time, subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, dispose of some or all of their Class B Common Stock depending on various factors, including, but not limited to, the price of the shares of the Class A Common Stock, the terms and conditions of the transaction and prevailing market conditions, as well as liquidity, family planning and diversification objectives.

The Reporting Persons intend to participate in and influence the affairs of the Issuer through the exercise of their voting rights with respect to their shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock. In addition, Ms. Levesque is the Chief Brand Officer of the Issuer and, as a result, in the ordinary course or otherwise, may take actions to influence the management, business and affairs of the Issuer.

None of Ms. Levesque, the 2004 Trust or the 2008 Trust, as a stockholder of the Issuer, has any plan or proposal other than as described herein that relates to or would result in any of the transactions or other matters specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D. Each of the Reporting Persons may, at any time and from time to time, review or reconsider her or its position and/or change her or its purpose and/or formulate plans or proposals with respect thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Ms. Levesque, in her position as Chief Brand Officer of the Issuer, intends to approve such matters and take such actions as she deems to be in the best interests of the Issuer, which matters and actions could potentially involve items described in Items 4(a) through 4(j) of Schedule 13D.

(a)(i) According to information provided by the Issuer in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 1, 2013, as of October 30, 2013 there were 31,302,790 shares of Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding, and 43,797,830 shares of Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding.

Generally, each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to ten votes per share.

(ii) The 2004 Trust may be deemed the beneficial owner for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 609,733 shares of Class B Common Stock, which may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into 609,733 shares of Class A Common Stock. Such shares represent approximately 0.8% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 30, 2013, 1.4% of the total Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date, 1.9% of the total Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date (on an as-converted basis) and approximately 1.3% of the Issuer's total voting power.

(iii) The 2008 Trust may be deemed the beneficial owner for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act of 1,849,393 shares of Class B Common Stock, which may be converted at any time on a one-for-one basis into 1,849,393 shares of Class A Common Stock. Such shares represent approximately 2.5% of the total number of shares of Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of October 30, 2013, 4.2% of the total Class B Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date, 5.6% of the total Class A Common Stock issued and outstanding as of such date (on an as-converted basis) and approximately 3.9% of the Issuer's total voting power.

(b) Ms. Levesque may be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the 51,945 shares of Class A

Common Stock owned directly by Ms. Levesque. Ms. Levesque, as sole beneficiary and Investment Director of the 2004 Trust, may also be deemed to have the sole power to direct the voting and disposition of the 609,733 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the 2004 Trust. Ms. Levesque, as beneficiary and Investment Director of the 2008 Trust, may also be deemed to have sole dispositive control over the 1,849,393 shares of Class B Common Stock held by the 2008 Trust.
