Item 5. Other Events.
On July 5, 2000, Mattel, Inc. ("Mattel") successfully completed an
offering in Europe of Euro 200 million aggregate principal amount (approximately
$190.7 million) of Notes due 2002. In connection with the offering, Mattel
restated its consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 1999 and 1998, and
its consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholders' equity
for the years ended December 31, 1999, 1998 and 1997 and the related notes
thereto to reflect Mattel's decision on March 31, 2000 to sell its consumer
software business, which is primarily comprised of the assets Mattel acquired in
connection with its acquisition of The Learning Company, Inc. As a result of
this decision, Mattel is reporting its net investment in, and the operating
results of, its consumer software segment as a discontinued operation. Mattel's
restated consolidated financial statements only reflect the reclassification of
the discontinued operation and do not reflect any other events subsequent to the
issuance of the consolidated financial statements in Mattel's 1999 Annual Report
on Form 10-K. Mattel also updated its risk factor disclosure in connection with
its offering of the Notes.
