JAKKS PACIFIC ANNOUNCES 2025 ANNUAL MEETING DATE AND RESTRUCTURING OF BOARD OF DIRECTORS

SANTA MONICA, Calif., March 28, 2025 – JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) today announced that the Board of Directors (the “Board”) approved the scheduling of the 2025 annual meeting for June 20, 2025, and also announced changes to the Board as part of the Company’s successful completion of the transition from its 2019 recapitalization transactions.

As part of the restructuring, the Board announced the planned departure of three current directors appointed to the Board as part of the Company’s 2019 recapitalization process. The Board announced the resignation of Matthew Winkler, one of the directors appointed in 2019 as part of the recapitalization process, effective as of the 2025 annual meeting, and approved the nomination of two candidates to fill the other two director seats in Class II of the Board for election at the 2025 annual meeting, currently occupied by Joshua Cascade and Carole Levine, the two other directors appointed in 2019.

The Board approved the nomination of Messrs. Jonathan R. Liebman and Jordan Moelis as candidates for election to Class II of the Board, together with Alexander Shoghi, one of the current Class II directors, who would then constitute the three members of Class II. Mr. Liebman is the co-CEO and chair of Los Angeles, CA-based production and management company Brillstein Entertainment Partners, and is also part of the leadership team at Los Angeles, CA-based talent representation and marketing firm Wasserman Media Group LLC. Mr, Moelis is the Managing Partner of Deep Field Asset Management LLC, a private investment firm he founded in 2014. Additionally, he is Co-President of Brindle Capital LLC.

In furtherance of the restructuring, the Board determined that, effective with Mr. Winkler’s resignation from the Board, the authorized number of directors constituting the whole Board would be reduced from seven (7) to six (6), and that the number of directors in Class III of the Board would be reduced to one (1).

Liebman and Moelis, such highly qualified and accomplished individuals, as Board members to assist in guiding our path forward with the goal of maximizing returns for our shareholders. We would like to express our gratitude to Messrs. Winkler and Cascade and Ms. Levine for their dedication and guidance over the past several years through the successful completion of our recapitalization process and our return to financial health.”
