a decade,” said Mr. Eckert. “I am confident that this next
generation of leaders, with Bryan at the helm, will take Mattel and

leadership opportunity,” said Mr. Stockton. “My experiences over
the last 12 years at Mattel have taught me that the combination of
Mattel’s power brands and our dedicated employees continues to
deliver an excellent investment opportunity to Mattel’s
stockholders. This is an exciting time to be a part of Mattel –
whether as an employee, a partner or an investor.”
