Explanation of Responses:

1. As reported on a Form 3 dated January 31, 2018 and filed on February 9, 2018, the Reporting Person received a grant of 13,004 Restricted Stock Units ("RSUs" or "Units") on December 29, 2017. The RSUs vest as to 50% of the Units granted on the first anniversary of the date of grant and as to the remaining 50% of the Units granted on the second 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. On December 29, 2018, the first 50% of these RSUs vested, resulting in the issuance of 6,502 shares of Mattel, Inc. Common Stock.

2. Pursuant to the terms of the December 29, 2017 RSU grant, 2,249 shares of Mattel, Inc. Common Stock were automatically withheld at vesting to cover required tax withholding.
