Mattel's 2019 Senior Notes due 2027 were issued pursuant to an indenture dated November 20, 2019, and its 2021 Senior Notes due 2026 and 2021 Senior Notes due 2029 were issued pursuant to an indenture dated March 19, 2021. These indentures contain covenants that limit Mattel's (and some of its subsidiaries') ability to, among other things: (i) incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of their capital stock or make other restricted payments; (iii) make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries; (iv) create liens; (v) enter into certain sale/leaseback transactions; (vi) merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all of their assets; and (vii) designate future guarantors. The indentures also provided that certain of these covenants would be suspended if Mattel achieved a debt rating of BBB-, Baa3, and/or BBB- (or higher) from any two of S&P, Moody's, and Fitch, respectively, and no event of default has occurred. In 2024, Fitch changed Mattel's credit rating from BB+ to BBB- with a stable outlook, S&P changed Mattel's credit rating from BBB- to BBB with a stable outlook, and Moody's maintained Mattel's credit rating of Baa3 with a stable outlook. As a result of the current credit ratings and no events of default, the covenants limiting Mattel's ability to incur additional debt or issue certain preferred shares, pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock or make other restricted payments, and make investments in unrestricted subsidiaries, and certain provisions of the covenant limiting Mattel's ability to merge or consolidate, or sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of substantially all of its assets and designate future guarantors, are suspended. If Mattel ceases to have credit ratings of BBB-, Baa3, and/or BBB- (or higher) from any two of S&P, Moody's, and Fitch, respectively, Mattel will thereafter be subject to the suspended covenants with respect to future events.
