Whom do I contact if I never received my stock certificate?

Shareholders of WWE sometimes own their stock under what's referred to as a "street name" through their broker. Occasionally, shareholders do not receive their certificates unless specifically requested. To avoid this at the time of purchasing stock, please advise your broker that you would like to "hold the physical certificate". This will ensure that you will obtain the stock certificate, as well as all shareholder materials. If this scenario has already occurred, please contact the original broker or investment institution that handled the transaction.

If you are a registered stockholder, all matters concerning address changes, stock transfers, and lost securities for common stock should be brought to the attention of our Company's transfer agent. Please notify by phone or mail:

When does World Wrestling Entertainment's fiscal year end?

The company's fiscal year for 2006 ended on April 30. In June, 2006, the Board of Directors elected to change the Company’s fiscal year end to a calendar basis beginning with calendar year 2007.  This change is intended to simplify our communication and will enable us to report our financial results in a timeframe consistent with the majority of our media and entertainment peers. WWE will therefore establish an eight month transition period from May 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006.  During this transition period, WWE will continue to file its quarterly reports on Form 10-Q under our current fiscal reporting schedule.
