<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">On
April 27, 2018 Hasbro, Inc. (&#8220;Hasbro&#8221;) entered into a Membership Interest
Purchase Agreement (the &#8220;Purchase Agreement&#8221;) with Saban Properties LLC (&#8220;Saban
Properties&#8221;).&#160; Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement Hasbro is purchasing from
Saban Properties all of the equity interests in the following Delaware limited
liability companies: (a) SCG Power Rangers LLC, (b) SCG Characters LLC, (c) SCG
Luna Petunia LLC, (d) Saban Brands Voyagers LLC and (e) Treehouse Detectives
LLC (collectively the &#8220;SP Entities&#8221;).&#160; Following the closing of the
transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, Hasbro will be the 100%
owner of each of the SP Entities and through the SP Entities, Hasbro will own
all of the rights and interests in the Power Rangers, Julius Jr., Luna Petunia,
My Pet Monster, Popples and Treehouse Detectives properties, and related
intellectual property, as well as in certain other properties, that were
previously owned by Saban Properties, or any of their affiliates.&#160; </font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
purchase price for the interests covered by the Purchase Agreement is an
aggregate of $522 million.&#160; Hasbro previously paid Saban Brands LLC, an
affiliate of Saban Properties, $22.25 million pursuant to the Power Rangers
master toy license announced by Saban Brands and Hasbro in February 2018, that
was scheduled to begin in April 2019. Pursuant to the purchase agreement Hasbro
will pay an additional $229.75 million in cash and $270 million of Hasbro
common stock, par value $.50 per share.&#160; The cash purchase price will be paid
as follows (i) $129.75 million will be paid upon closing, (ii) $25 million will
be placed into escrow upon closing to support customary indemnification
obligations of Saban Properties, with one-half of the escrow amount to be
released on January 3, 2019, and the remaining half to be released on the
one-year anniversary of the closing date, less any claim amounts deducted from
the escrow prior to those dates, and (iii) $75 million will be paid on January
3, 2019.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
shares will be issued upon closing of the transaction and the number of shares
of Hasbro common stock to be issued (the &#8220;Shares&#8221;) will be computed by dividing
$270 million by the volume weighted average price of the shares over the twenty
consecutive trading days ending with the trading day immediately preceding the
closing date.&#160; Saban Properties is an accredited investor within the meaning of
the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the &#8220;Securities Act&#8221;), and issuance of
the Shares to Saban Properties is being made without registration in reliance
on a private placement exemption. Hasbro and Saban Properties will enter into a
Registration Rights Agreement upon the closing granting Saban Properties the
right to have the Shares registered for resale under the Securities Act.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">Upon
the closing Hasbro and Saban Brands LLC, an affiliate of Saban Properties, will
also enter a Transitional Services Agreement and a Consulting Agreement,
pursuant to which Saban Brands will provide certain transitional services and
consulting services to Hasbro.&#160; Mr. Haim Saban will be involved in providing
the consulting services.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt;text-indent:.5in;"><font face="Times New Roman,serif" lang=EN-US style="font-size:10.0pt;">The
closing of the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement is subject
to the fulfillment of certain customary conditions, including expiration or
termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act, obtaining any other required regulatory approvals and the
approval for listing of the Shares on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. </font></p>
