Explanation of Responses:
( 1)  The option was granted on February 8, 2017 pursuant to the Mattel, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). The option vests and becomes exercisable with regard to 50% of the shares granted on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the shares granted on the third anniversary of the date of grant.
( 2)  The Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") were granted on February 8, 2017 pursuant to the Plan. Each Unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of Mattel, Inc. Common Stock (or, at the election of Mattel, Inc., a cash amount equal to the fair market value of such share).
( 3)  The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units granted on the second anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units granted 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, Inc. Common Stock (or, at the election of Mattel, Inc., a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding.
( 4)  The RSUs vest in equal installments on each monthly anniversary of the date of grant and will be 100% vested on the first 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, Inc. Common Stock (or, at the election of Mattel, Inc., a cash amount equal to the fair market value of one share of Common Stock on the date of vesting), subject to tax withholding.
