Item 1. Security and Issuer
This
Statement on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) relates to shares of the common stock, par value $0.001 per share
(the “Common Stock”), of JAKKS Pacific, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company” or the “Issuer”),
whose principal executive offices are located at 2951 28th Street, Santa Monica, CA 90405.
Item 2. Identity
and Background.
| (a) | This
Schedule 13D is being filed by Lawrence I. Rosen (the “Reporting Person”).
|
| (b) | The
business address of the Reporting Person is 1578 Sussex Turnpike (Bldg. 5), Randolph,
NJ 07869. |
| (c) | The
Reporting Person is the founder and Chairman of LaRose Industries LLC, the parent company
of Cra-Z-Art, a privately held company based in Randolph, New Jersey, which manufactures
and sells classic toys, arts and crafts kits, puzzles, and school supplies. The business
address of LaRose Industries LLC is 1578 Sussex Turnpike (Bldg. 5), Randolph, NJ 07869. |
| (d) | The
Reporting Person has not been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations
or similar misdemeanors) during the last five years. |
| (e) | During
the last five years, the Reporting Person has not been a party to a civil proceeding
of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such
proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations
of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, United States federal or state
securities laws or finding any violation with respect to such laws. |
| (f) | The
Reporting Person is a citizen of the United States. |
Item 3. Source and
Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The
shares of Common Stock to which this Schedule 13D relates have been purchased from time to time in open market transactions at
an aggregate cost of approximately $18,361,000 with the Reporting Person’s working capital including margin account borrowings
made in the ordinary course of business. In such instances, the positions held in the margin accounts are pledged as collateral
security for the repayment of debit balances in the account, which may exist from time to time. Since other securities are held
in the margin accounts, it is not possible to determine the amounts, if any, of margin used to purchase the shares of Common Stock
reported herein.
Item 4. Purpose
of Transaction.
This
Schedule 13D is being filed because Rule 13d-1(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires
persons reporting on Schedule 13G to file a Schedule 13D when beneficial ownership equals or exceeds 20 percent of the class of
equity securities. The Reporting Person holds the Common Stock for investment purposes. The shares of Common Stock were not acquired
by the Reporting Person, and are not held by the Reporting Person for the purpose or with the effect of changing or influencing
the control of the Company. The Reporting Person may, from time to time, acquire additional shares of Common Stock and/or retain
and/or sell all or a portion of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Person in open market or in privately negotiated
transactions, in compliance with the federal securities law. Except as set forth above, the Reporting Person has no present plans
or intentions which would result in or relate to any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4
of Schedule 13D.
