as the "notes."
We will pay interest on the notes on May 19 and November 19 of each year, beginning May 19, 2020 . The 2022 notes will mature on November 19, 2022, the 2024 notes
will mature on November 19, 2024, the 2026 notes will mature on November 19, 2026 and the 2029 notes will mature on November 19, 2029. The interest rate payable on each

the Proposed Acquisition will not be consummated (in which case we will notify the trustee in writing thereof), the notes will be redeemed in the manner set forth under
"Description of the Notes--Special Mandatory Redemption " at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid
interest on the principal amount of the notes to, but not including, the Special Mandatory Redemption Date (as defined in "Description of the Notes--Special Mandatory
Redemption").
We may also redeem, at our option, some or all of the notes of each series at any time at the applicable redemption price for such series of notes described in this prospectus
supplement.
The notes will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally with our other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The notes will be
structurally subordinated to all obligations of our subsidiaries. The notes will be issued only in registered form in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of
$1,000 in excess thereof.

and product developments, the expected content of and timing for scheduled new product introductions or our expectations concerning the future
acceptance of products by customers, the content and timing of planned entertainment releases including motion pictures, television and digital content, the
consummation of the Proposed Acquisition and the anticipated benefits to be realized therefrom, marketing and promotional efforts, research and
development activities, liquidity, and similar matters. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. The Private Securities
Litigation Reform Act of 1995 provides a safe harbor for forward-looking statements. These statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking
words or phrases such as "anticipate," "believe," "could," "expect," "intend," "looking forward," "may," "planned," "potential," "should," "will" or
"would" or any variations of words with similar meanings.
We note that a variety of factors could cause our actual results and experience to differ materially from the anticipated results or other expectations
expressed or anticipated herein and in our other reports, SEC filings, statements and presentations. These risks and uncertainties include, among others:


·
our ability to achieve anticipated benefits of acquisitions (including the Proposed Acquisition) or investments;

·
our ability to successfully integrate eOne's business and operations with our business and operations and to effectively manage our expanded

operations following the closing of the Proposed Acquisition;

·
the diversion of our management's time and resources and any business uncertainties caused by the announcement, pendency and execution

of the Proposed Acquisition;


·
the possibility that consummation of the Proposed Acquisition exposes us to unknown liabilities;


·
circumstances that cause the conditions to the completion of the Proposed Acquisition not be satisfied or waived on a timely basis, or at all;


·
any restrictions or limitations that may stem from financing arrangements we have or will enter into in the future;

·
our ability to successfully develop and grow our franchise and key partner brands, which constitute a substantial majority of our total

revenues;

·
our ability to successfully re-imagine, re-invent and re-ignite our existing brands, products and product lines, including through the use of

immersive entertainment experiences and progressive technology integrating digital and analog play, to keep them fresh and relevant and to
maintain and further their success;

·
our ability to successfully design, develop, produce, introduce, market and sell innovative new brands, products, product lines and

entertainment offerings in a timely and cost-effective manner, which achieve and sustain interest from retailers and consumers and keep pace
with changes in consumer preferences and technology and the increasing sophistication of today's children;

·
our ability to offer products that (i) expand consumer demand for our product offerings and do not significantly compete with our other

existing product offerings and (ii) consumers want to purchase and select over competitors' products;

·
concentration of manufacturing of the majority of our products by third party vendors in the People's Republic of China and the associated

impact to the Company of social, economic or public health

conditions and other factors affecting China, the movement of people and products into and out of China, the cost of producing products in
China and the cost of exporting them to our other markets or affecting the exchange rates for the Chinese Renminbi, including, without

limitation, the application of tariffs or other trade restrictions to some or all of the goods manufactured for us in China and exported to other
markets, which could significantly increase the price of our products and substantially harm sales if applied to any significant amount of our
products;

·
our ability to successfully diversify sourcing of our products to reduce reliance on sources of supply in China, including challenges associated
with identifying and onboarding new vendors who may not be as experienced as our historical vendors in producing the types of products

manufactured for us and in meeting the quality and compliance needs of our products, potentially exposing us to delayed supply, increased
costs or product non-compliance, as well as risks associated with sourcing products from countries where the infrastructure is not as
developed as it is in eastern China;

·
the application of tariffs and other trade restrictions impacting the cost of producing our products and importing them into markets around the
world for sale, which could significantly increase the price of our products and substantially harm sales, including, without limitation, through

the elimination of direct import orders where our customers take ownership of products at ports near the source of supply, and the shift to
domestic orders, which require us to ship the products to the market, import them and warehouse them, thus raising costs to us, delaying the
time of sale, and resulting in the potential loss of some orders entirely due to lack of timely supply or other matters;

·
our ability to successfully implement actions to lessen the impact of tariffs imposed on our products, including any changes to our supply

chain, logistics capabilities, sales policies or pricing of our products;

https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/46080/000119312519292450/d823125d424b2.htm[11/15/2019 8:57:17 AM]

·
successful brand and/or product introductions from competitors that capture market share and sales from us;

those products in quantities and at prices that will be sufficient to profitably recover our costs for developing, marketing and selling those
products;

·
our ability to successfully evolve and transform our business to address a changing global consumer landscape and retail environment, one in
which online shopping and digital first marketing are becoming more and more critical and traditional retailers face challenges from

disintermediation, and difficulties or delays we may experience in successfully implementing and developing new capabilities and making the
changes to our business that are required to be successful under these changing marketplace conditions;

·
recessions, other economic downturns, challenging economic conditions, unfavorable changes in exchange rates or economic uncertainty
affecting one or more of our significant markets, including, without limitation, the U.K., Brazil and Russia, which can negatively impact the

financial health of our customers and consumers, and which can result in lower employment levels, consumer disposable income and
consumer spending, including lower retailer inventories and spending on purchases of our products;

·
currency fluctuations, including movements in foreign exchange rates, which can lower our net revenues and earnings, and significantly

impact our costs;

·
other economic and public health conditions or regulatory changes in the markets in which we and our customers and suppliers operate,

which could create delays or increase our costs, such as higher commodity prices, labor costs or higher transportation costs, or outbreaks of
diseases;

business climates;

delays, increased costs, lack of consumer acceptance or other difficulties associated with the development and offering of our or our partners'

entertainment, digital or media initiatives;

of our customers or changes in their purchasing or selling patterns;

the U.S. and the U.K., as well as the economic difficulty of Toys"R"Us in other markets, or the bankruptcy or lack of success of another retail

customer of ours, such as Sears Holdings Corporation, any of which could negatively impact our revenues, result in lost sales to customers,
create bad debt expense and create other challenges for us and our financial performance as we attempt to recapture this lost business through
other customers or channels, and any inability or delay we suffer in recapturing all of the lost business;


·
uncertainty as to the future of the Toys"R"Us business elsewhere in the world, and associated reductions in sales to Toys"R"Us;

·
our ability to generate sales during the second half of the year, particularly during the relatively brief holiday shopping season, which is the

period in which we derive a substantial portion of our revenues and earnings;

·
the inventory policies of our retail and e-commerce customers, including potential decisions to lower their inventories, even if it results in lost
sales, as well as the concentration of our revenues in the second half of the year, which coupled with reliance by retailers on quick response

inventory management techniques, increases the risk of underproduction of popular items, overproduction of less popular items and failure to
achieve compressed shipping schedules;

·
the impact of retail inventory overhang in one or more of our key markets, which can reduce purchases of our products from our customers

and lower our revenues and profitability;


·
our ability to evolve our business quickly and efficiently to respond to the challenges of today's converged retail environment;


·
work stoppages or disruptions which may impact our ability to manufacture or deliver products in a timely and cost-effective manner;

the risk that one of our third-party manufacturers will not comply with applicable labor, consumer protection, product safety or other laws or

unforeseen circumstances, such as severe softness in or collapse of the retail and/or banking environment that may result in a significant
decline in our revenues and operating results, thereby causing us to be in non-compliance with our debt covenants and being unable to utilize

borrowings under our revolving credit facility, a circumstance likely to occur when operating shortfalls would result in us being in the
greatest need of such supplementary borrowings;

·
market conditions, third party actions or approvals, the impact of competition and other factors that could delay or increase the cost of

implementation of our programs, or alter our actions and reduce actual results;

·

the risk that our reported goodwill may become impaired, requiring us to take a charge against our income; or

·
changes in regulations, increased costs and/or economic uncertainty associated with the U.K. vote to leave the European Union ("EU"),

commonly referred to as Brexit, which may make it more difficult and/or costly for us to supply products to the UK or other parts of the EU,

Hasbro, Inc.
We are a global play and entertainment company committed to Creating the World's Best Play and Entertainment Experiences. We strive to do
this through deep consumer engagement and the application of consumer insights, the use of immersive storytelling to build brands, product
innovation and the development of global business reach. We apply these principles to leverage our owned and controlled brands, including Franchise
Brands BABY ALIVE, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, MONOPOLY, MY LITTLE PONY, NERF, PLAY-DOH and TRANSFORMERS, as well as
the brands of our partners included in our Partner Brands portfolio. From toys and games to television, movies, digital gaming and other forms of
digital entertainment and a comprehensive consumer products licensing program, Hasbro fulfills the fundamental need for play and connection for
children and families around the world. Our entertainment labels, Allspark Pictures and Allspark Animation, create entertainment-driven brand
storytelling across mediums, including television, film and more.
Each of these principles are executed globally in alignment with our strategic plan, the brand blueprint. At the center of this blueprint, we
re-imagine, re-invent and re-ignite our owned and controlled brands and imagine, invent and ignite new brands. As the global consumer landscape,
shopping behaviors and the retail environment continue to evolve, we continue to transform and reimagine our business strategy. This transformation
includes changing many of the ways we organize across our brand blueprint, re-shaping us to become a better equipped and adaptive, digitally driven
organization, including investing in the development of an omni-channel retail presence.

Proposed Acquisition of eOne and Strategic Rationale
On August 22, 2019, we entered into an Arrangement Agreement (as defined and further described below), pursuant to which we agreed to
acquire eOne, a global independent studio that specializes in the development, acquisition, production, financing, distribution and sales of
entertainment content, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Arrangement Agreement. We believe the Proposed Acquisition will
accelerate our

brand blueprint strategy by adding eOne's family brands, exceptional, proven TV and film expertise, and veteran executive leadership to the combined
company.
Enhances our brand portfolio with two beloved global preschool brands, new brands in development and enhanced brand development
capabilities

·
We expect the addition of two beloved global preschool brands--Peppa Pig and PJ Masks--and an attractive set of new brands under

development to enhance Hasbro's robust brand portfolio.

·
The acquisition of highly profitable and merchandisable preschool brands is a strategic growth opportunity for Hasbro in the Infant and

Preschool category, the largest super-category in the toy and game industry in the Group of Eleven markets, according to the NPD
Group, and one in which Hasbro is currently underrepresented.


·
Peppa Pig has thrived for over a decade and extended itself to new profit streams and markets that continue its success.


·
PJ Masks' growth outlook is supported by new formats and rollouts in new regions, including China.


·
A slate of additional brands are under development.


·
We believe eOne's property development expertise can be applied to, and further the success of, our brands.
Adding exceptional, proven TV and film expertise

·
We anticipate growth by leveraging eOne's television and film development, production and distribution expertise to dramatically

enhance our storytelling capabilities and the franchise economics for us from our entertainment initiatives.

·
By playing a larger internal role in developing, owning and strategically distributing content, we expect to capture greater franchise

economics for the combined company than has been the case for Hasbro as a standalone company.


·
eOne brings profitable, growing capabilities in scripted and unscripted TV development and production for global audiences.

·
eOne's live action and animation capabilities present multiple avenues to bring Hasbro's franchises to life as over-the-top media

platforms and networks are increasingly interested in new, unexploited intellectual property while studios reclaim content for their
proprietary platforms.

·
In film, eOne has been transforming its business to focus on high-quality premium talent-driven content in which it has a greater

creative and financial stake, including titles directed to children and families like Clifford the Big Red Dog and Monster Problems.

eOne's seasoned entertainment executives with deep talent relationships and creative drive are expected to further strengthen Hasbro's

talented team.

·
eOne has an expanded global organization, with presence in London, Los Angeles, Toronto, New York, Hong Kong, Melbourne and

Shanghai.

·
eOne's Canadian presence is an important base for creative talent and best-in-class studio capabilities, significantly expanding Hasbro's

Canadian presence and access to talent and positioning the combined

company and Entertainment One Canada Ltd. for ongoing success in Canada, including in relation to its robust pipeline of television and

film projects.
Financial benefits

·
We expect the Proposed Acquisition to create meaningful financial benefits, including global annual run rate revenue and cost synergies
of approximately $130 million by 2022, driven by integration benefits, substantial revenue gains and cost savings from moving a

significant portion of eOne's toy business in-house (in-sourcing) and enhancing the profitability of eOne's licensing and merchandising
activities by utilizing our capabilities in those areas and by bringing eOne's creative, film and television capabilities to bear on an
expanded portfolio of intellectual property.

·
The addition of eOne to Hasbro is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in the first year following the transaction,

adjusted to exclude one-time transaction costs and purchased intangible amortization.

·
We believe there is meaningful potential for additional revenue growth and expanded franchise economics with enhanced brand-drive

animation and live action TV and film entertainment.
Our ability to achieve the strategic and financial benefits of the Proposed Acquisition are subject to various risks and uncertainties. See "Risk
Factors--Risks Related to Our Business Following the Consummation of the Proposed Acquisition."

required approval from eOne shareholders (which was obtained on October 17, 2019), (2) the approval of the Proposed Acquisition by the Ontario

S-3

was obtained on October 21, 2019), (3) the receipt of required regulatory approvals, including pursuant to the Investment Canada Act and certain other

currently expect the Proposed Acquisition to close late in the fourth quarter of 2019 or early in the first quarter of 2020.
The Arrangement Agreement is described in more detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on August 22, 2019, which is

Financing Transactions
Hasbro Term Loan Facility
On September 20, 2019, we entered into a $1.0 billion Term Loan Agreement (the "Term Loan Agreement") with Bank of America, N.A., as
administrative agent, and certain financial institutions, as lenders, pursuant to which such lenders committed to provide, contingent upon the
completion of the Proposed Acquisition and certain other customary conditions to funding, (1) a three-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an
aggregate principal amount of $400.0 million and (2) a five-year senior unsecured term loan facility in an aggregate principal amount of
$600.0 million ((1) and (2) collectively, the "Hasbro Term Loan Facility"). The Term Loan Agreement contains affirmative and negative covenants
typical for this type of facility, and our obligations thereunder may be accelerated upon customary events of default. The Term Loan Agreement is
described in more detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on September 24, 2019, which is incorporated by reference into this
prospectus supplement.
Equity Offering
On November 8, 2019, we completed an offering (the "Common Stock Offering") of 10,592,106 shares of our common stock (par value $0.50
per share) at a public offering price of $95.00 per share, which includes 1,381,579 shares sold pursuant to the exercise in full by the underwriters of
their over-allotment option on November 7, 2019 (the "Over-Allotment Exercise"). We raised approximately $976.06 million in aggregate net
proceeds from the Common Stock Offering, after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions but not estimated offering expenses.
Other Unsecured Debt
We intend to incur approximately $2.375 billion of additional unsecured debt in order to finance the Proposed Acquisition in part. Such
unsecured debt may consist of the notes offered hereby and/or borrowings under our commercial paper program and/or our revolving credit facility
("Other Unsecured Debt"). Our total debt to Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio at September 29, 2019 was 1.9 to 1.0 and, after giving effect to the
incurrence of term loans under the Term Loan Agreement, the incurrence of Other Unsecured Debt and the completion of the Proposed Acquisition
and the other transactions related thereto, our pro forma total debt to pro forma Adjusted EBITDA leverage ratio (calculated using pro forma
Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 30, 2018) would have been 4.0 to 1.0.
Hedging Arrangements
As the Consideration for the Proposed Acquisition is denominated in pounds sterling, we have entered into certain currency forward contracts
