      size to generate aggregate net proceeds of $75 million for Universal Studios, when combined with the net proceeds received by Universal Studios in our initial public offering. The follow-on offering or offerings may cause the market price of our Class A common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well and even though we will not issue any additional shares to be sold in such offering or offerings. Shares eligible for future sale may cause the market price of our Class A common stock to drop significantly, even if our business is doing well. The market price of our Class A common stock could decline as a result of sales of a large number of shares of our Class A common stock in the market or the perception that these sales could occur. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for us to sell equity securities in the future at a time and at a price that we deem appropriate. As of March 1, 2005, there were 52,174,447 shares of our Class A common stock, 50,842,414 shares of our Class B common stock and one share of our Class C common stock outstanding. The shares of Class B common stock and Class C common stock are convertible into Class A common stock on a one-for-one basis. The 33,350,000 shares of Class A common stock sold in our initial public offering, the 2,146,505 shares of our Class Acommon stock delivered to DreamWorks Studios’ and our employees (in connection with the conversion of equity-based compensation awards of DreamWorks Studios that are vested or will vest within 60 days and the grant of shares to our and DreamWorks Studios employees and advisors in connection with our initial public offering) and the 276,924 shares of Class A common stock issued to current and former employees of PDI in connection with the merger of PDI and a wholly owned subsidiary of ours are freely tradeable without restriction or further registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by persons other than our affiliates within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Securities Act. In addition to the follow-on secondary offerings described in the previous risk factor (which will occur no earlier than May 2, 2005), following the final allocation of shares by Holdco to the Holdco partners, each of Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen and Paul Allen or entities controlled by them or their permitted transferees, subject to the lock-up described below, will be able to sell their shares in the public market from time to time without registering them, subject to certain limitations on the timing, amount and method of those sales imposed by regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Entities controlled by each of Paul Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen (and certain of their permitted transferees), as well as Universal Studios in limited circumstances, will also have the right to cause us to register the sale of shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them. In addition, certain of our stockholders that are members of DreamWorks Studios on the closing date will have the right to include shares of Class A common stock beneficially owned by them (including the Class A common stock into which our Class B and Class C common stock is convertible) in certain future registration statements relating to our securities. If any of Paul Allen, Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg, David Geffen, Holdco, Universal Studios, entities controlled by them or their respective permitted transferees were to sell a large number of their shares, including in the follow-on secondary offerings described above, the market price of our Class A common stock could decline significantly. In addition, the perception in the public markets that sales by them might occur could also adversely affect the market price of our Class A common stock. In connection with our initial public offering, entities controlled by Steven Spielberg, Jeffrey Katzenberg and David Geffen agreed to a lock-up period, meaning that they and their permitted transferees may not sell any of their shares without the prior consent of the underwriters of our initial public offering until October 28, 2005. Each selling stockholder and certain other stockholders agreed to a lock-up period with the underwriters until April 26, 2005, subject to extension in certain circumstances. In addition to these lock-up agreements, sales of our Class A common stock are also restricted by lock-up agreements until April 26, 2005, subject to extension in certain circumstances, that we, our directors and executive officers entered into with the underwriters for our 33
