Explanation of Responses:
( 1 )As reported on a Form 3 dated September 8, 2008 and filed on September 17, 2008, the reporting person received a grant of 7,000 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") on August 1, 2007. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each Unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding. On August 1, 2010, the final 50% of these RSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 3,500 shares of Mattel common stock.
( 2 )Pursuant to the terms of the August 1, 2007 RSU grant, 1,284 shares of Mattel common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.
( 3 )As reported on a Form 3 dated September 8, 2008 and filed on September 17, 2008, the reporting person received a grant of 6,104 RSUs on August 1, 2008. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each Unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding. On August 1, 2010, the first 50% of these RSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 3,052 shares of Mattel common stock.
( 4 )Pursuant to the terms of the August 1, 2008 RSU grant, 1,120 shares of Mattel common stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.
( 5 )The option was granted on August 2, 2010 pursuant to the Mattel, Inc. 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan (the "2010 Plan"). The option vests and becomes exercisable with regard to (a) 33% of the shares on the first anniversary of the date of grant, (b) an additional 33% of the shares on the second anniversary of the date of grant, and (c) the remaining 34% of the shares on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
( 6 )The RSUs were granted on August 2, 2010 pursuant to the 2010 Plan. Each Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of such share). The RSUs are accompanied by dividend equivalent rights.
( 7 )The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units on the third anniversary of the date of grant. On each vesting date, for each Unit vesting on such date, the reporting person will receive one share of Mattel common stock (or, at the election of Mattel, a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of common stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding.
