(e)

On March 10, 2017, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Warner Music Group Corp. (the “Company”) approved the Second Amended and Restated Senior Cash Flow Plan (the “Amended Plan”), which amends and restates the Amended and Restated Senior Cash Flow Plan. These amendments were made to enable the Company to grant new award opportunities under the Amended Plan that are on a vesting and payment schedule similar to the schedule applicable to existing awards in the plan, and on similar terms, but keyed off different start dates. Corresponding changes are being made to the limited liability company agreement of WMG Management Holdings LLC (the LLC, and such amended agreement, the “Second Amended LLC Agreement”), which, together with the Amended Plan, governs equity awards granted in connection with the plan. In addition, the amendments included in the Amended Plan increase the free cash flow pool that is allocated under the plan from 7.5% to 8%, which has the effect of increasing the amount of bonuses that may be deferred under the Plan and the amount of profits interests in the LLC that may be granted under the Amended Plan.

These descriptions of the Amended Plan and the Amended LLC Agreement do not purport to be complete and are subject to, and are qualified in their entirety by, the complete text of the Amended Plan and the Amended LLC Agreement, respectively, copies of which will be filed as exhibits to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2017 or the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2017.
