New Director

On July 13, 2021, Thomas H. Lee resigned from the Board of Directors (the "Board") of Warner Music Group Corp. (the "Company") and all committees thereof, effective upon the appointment of his replacement. Mr. Lee has served as a director since 2011. Mr. Lee's decision to resign from the Board is not the result of any disagreement with the Company or the Board. In light of his many contributions to the Company, Mr. Lee has been given the title of Director Emeritus of the Company, effective upon his resignation. Mr. Lee will also be entitled to compensation and fees as may be deemed appropriate by the Company in view of Mr. Lee's services to the Company.

Also on July 13, 2021, Nancy Dubuc was elected to the Board in accordance with the Company's certificate of incorporation, effective immediately, to fill the vacancy on the Board resulting from Mr. Lee's resignation. Ms. Dubuc was also elected to serve on the Audit Committee of the Board as chairperson, and on the Executive Committee of the Board, effective immediately. Ms. Dubuc will hold office until the next annual general meeting of stockholders or until removed from office in accordance with the Company's bylaws. There was no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Dubuc and any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director.

Ms. Dubuc is Chief Executive Officer of VICE Media Group ("VICE"), today's largest independent youth media company. Since joining VICE in 2018 she has directed the expansion and transformation of the company's global businesses and has also initiated a cultural transformation driven by processes to vastly increase communication, transparency and accountability. Prior to joining VICE, Ms. Dubuc served as President and Chief Executive Officer of A+E Networks. Ms. Dubuc currently serves on the board of directors of Vice Media LLC and Flutter Entertainment PLC. Ms. Dubuc has a reputation as a powerful creative with an additional history of overwhelming programmatic success.

The Company believes Ms. Dubuc's 25+ years of media experience, proven track record of successfully diversifying revenue through new business models, distinct ability to build effective leadership teams and financial/operational transformations give her the qualifications and skills to serve as a director of the Company.

Committee Appointments

In connection with the election of a new director to the Board, as well as the resignations of Lincoln Benet from the Finance Committee of the Board, effective as of the date of Mr. Lee's resignation and Len Blavatnik's resignation from the Compensation Committee of the Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, effective as of April 30, 2021, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board recommended certain committee changes, which the Board adopted. As noted above, Ms. Dubuc has been elected to serve on the Executive Committee. Additionally, Ceci Kurzman has been elected to serve on the Compensation Committee of the Board and Ynon Kreiz has been elected to serve on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board.
