Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
     On March 11, 2010, Hasbro, Inc. (the “Company”) completed its previously reported offering of $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 6.35% Notes due 2040 (the “Notes”). In connection with the closing of the issuance and sale of the Notes, the Company entered into a third supplemental indenture (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia Trust Company of New York, as trustee, relating to the Notes. Copies of the Third Supplemental Indenture, including the form of the Notes, are filed herewith as exhibits and incorporated by reference herein.
     The Notes are senior unsecured debt obligations of the Company. There is no sinking fund for the Notes. The Notes mature on March 15, 2040 and bear interest at a rate of 6.35% per annum. The Company may redeem the Notes in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at its option at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (ii) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon (not including any portion of such payments of interest accrued as of the date of redemption) discounted to the date of redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate (as defined in the Third Supplemental Indenture), plus 25 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of redemption.
     If the Company experiences a Change of Control Repurchase Event (defined as a change of control combined with a below investment grade rating event), it will be required, unless it has exercised its right to redeem the Notes, to offer to purchase the Notes at a purchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the date of purchase.
     The preceding description of the Third Supplemental Indenture and the Notes is qualified in its entirety by the Third Supplemental Indenture, including the form of the Notes, filed herewith as exhibits.
Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
     The information provided in Item 1.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.
     On March 11, 2010, the Company issued a press release announcing the closing of its public offering of the Notes. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
     In order to furnish certain exhibits for incorporation by reference into the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-145947), previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Company is filing the Third Supplemental Indenture, the form of the Notes and the opinion of Ropes & Gray LLP relating to the validity of the Notes as exhibits hereto.
