Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensation Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On May 25, 2022, at the annual meeting of stockholders (the "Annual Meeting") of
Mattel, Inc. ("Mattel"), Mattel's stockholders approved the Sixth Amendment to
the Mattel, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation
Plan (the "Plan Amendment"). The Plan Amendment, effective May 25, 2022, amends
the Mattel, Inc. Amended and Restated 2010 Equity and Long-Term Compensation
Plan (as amended, the "Plan").
The purpose of the Plan is to promote the interests of Mattel and its
stockholders by enabling Mattel to offer an opportunity to employees,
non-employee directors and consultants to receive grants of equity-based and
cash-based incentive awards, so as to better attract, retain, and reward them,
to align their interests with those of stockholders, and to provide them with an
incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to Mattel
stockholders.
The Plan Amendment increases the maximum number of shares that may be issued
pursuant to the Plan by 10 million shares, enabling Mattel to continue to use
the Plan as a critical tool to attract, motivate, reward, and retain its key
employees and directors. In addition, the Plan Amendment revises the full-value
share debiting rate for awards granted after March 1, 2022 from one and
nine-tenths-to-one (1.9:1) to one and five-tenths-to-one (1.5:1).
The foregoing summary description of the Plan Amendment is qualified in its
entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Plan Amendment, a copy of which
is attached as Appendix A to Mattel's Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule
14A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 12, 2022 (the
"Proxy Statement").
