Mattel is including this Cautionary Statement pursuant to the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 (the “Act”). Certain statements made in this presentation may include forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Act relating to the future performance (including, without limitation, future revenues, strategies, prospects, goals, and all other statements that do not relate strictly to historical or current facts) of Mattel and its subsidiaries’ overall businesses, brands, and products lines. These statements are based on currently available operating, financial, economic, and other information and they are subject to a number of significant risks and uncertainties. A forward-looking statement is neither a prediction nor a guarantee of future events or circumstances, and those future events or circumstances may not occur. A variety of factors (e.g., consumer preferences, product mix, global economic conditions) many of which are beyond our control, could cause actual future results to differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are described in the “Risk Factors” section of Mattel’s 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K, in our 2018 quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, and in other filings Mattel makes with the SEC from time to time, as well as in Mattel’s other public statements. Mattel does not update forward-looking statements and expressly disclaims any obligation to do so. Forward-Looking Statements Forward Looking Statements

In March 2018, the Board adopted an amendment to the Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan – subject to stockholder approval Source: Mattel 2018 Proxy Statement Stockholder Approval for First Amendment to Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan This amendment enables Mattel to continue to provide equity-based awards and incorporates key governance enhancements We are requesting 13 million additional shares, which are necessary to cover annual equity award grants scheduled to be made in August 2018 Other plan changes include: Addition of minimum vesting requirement such that awards granted under the Amended Plan will not vest earlier than the first anniversary of grant date (subject to limited exceptions) Prohibition on payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to unvested awards unless and until underlying award subsequently vests, and prohibition on the grant or payment of dividends or dividend equivalents with respect to stock options and stock appreciation rights Modification of change in control provisions of 2010 Plan to provide that in the event of a change in control, if a performance-vesting award granted on or after the date of the 2018 Annual Meeting is not assumed or substituted in connection with such change in control, such award will vest based on the greater of (i) actual performance through the date of the change in control or (ii) pro-rated target performance General prohibition on accelerated vesting of time-vesting awards upon the occurrence of a change in control Deletion of a provision in the 2010 Plan permitting Board or Compensation Committee, without stockholder approval, to cancel outstanding awards and replace them with new awards having equivalent value Equity represents an important compensation tool that is key to our ability to attract, motivate, reward, and retain our team, and to directly link pay with long-term stockholder value creation

FOR the election of director nominees In response to challenging performance and substantial market headwinds, the Board took significant action to reposition Mattel for future revenue improvement and profit growth FOR ratification of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP as Mattel’s independent registered public accounting firm for the year ending December 31, 2018 FOR the advisory vote to approve named executive officer compensation Our Board and Compensation Committee remain focused on closely aligning pay with performance, as evidenced by payouts that reflect recent performance challenges New CEO compensation incorporates rigorous, long-term targets and tightly aligns with stockholder value creation For 2017 and 2018, Committee took actions necessary to hire essential expertise, enhance retention during a critical period for Mattel, and align our incentive compensation programs to the current state of our transformation FOR the First Amendment to Mattel’s Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan Equity represents an important compensation tool that is core to our ability to attract, motivate, reward, and retain our team, and to directly link pay with long-term stockholder value creation AGAINST Stockholder proposal regarding an independent Board Chairman Our Board routinely evaluates its leadership structure, and believes it is important to retain flexibility to determine the appropriate structure for Mattel given the circumstances at any time – particularly as we navigate this critical period of transformation and significant industry shifts Going forward, combined Chair and CEO role will permit tight coordination between management and the Board, direct and timely communication, and optimal prioritization of the Board agenda – all at a key juncture in Mattel’s transformation Robust Independent Lead Director role provides strong independent oversight The stockholder proposal, if approved, would establish a prescriptive and rigid leadership structure that would eliminate the Board’s ability to determine the best Board leadership structure to drive long-term value ©2018 Mattel, Inc.
