(the “Company”) beneficially owned by Vincent K. McMahon.  Mr. McMahon beneficially owns approximately 93% of the issued and outstanding shares of Class B Common Stock and approximately 83% of the Company’s total voting power.  Class B Common Stock is fully convertible into the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (“Class A Common Stock”), on a one-for-one basis, at any time at the option of the holder. Assuming the conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock beneficially owned by Mr. McMahon as of the date hereof, Mr. McMahon would beneficially own approximately 43% of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, based on the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding as of October 24, 2017. The number of shares reported herein as beneficially owned by Mr. McMahon excludes 566,670 shares of Class B Common Stock and 100 shares of Class A Common Stock owned by Linda E.
