(f/k/a New Whale Inc., "TKO") and Whale Merger Sub Inc., WWE performance stock units ("PSUs"), which were granted in February 2023, subject to financial and/or operational performance goals, were equitably adjusted into time-based WWE restricted stock units ("RSUs") at target level, subject to vesting over three years. Each WWE RSU reflects the right to receive one share of WWE Class A common stock following vesting. |
| 2. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, each share of WWE Class A common stock was converted into the right to receive one share of TKO Class A common stock. |
| 3. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, each outstanding award of WWE RSUs was converted into an award of TKO's RSUs, on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the original WWE RSUs immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion (including any provisions for acceleration) on a one-to-one basis. |
| 4. Also includes shares acquired under the Company's ESPP and/or dividend accruals, all of which are exempt under Section 16.
