JAKKS Pacific Engages Liolios to Expand Strategic Investor Relations Program

SANTA MONICA, Calif.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–JAKKS Pacific, Inc. (NASDAQ: JAKK) has engaged Liolios Group to lead an
expanded strategic investor relations and financial communications
program.

“Since its founding more than 20 years ago, JAKKS has grown to be one of
the largest U.S. toy companies through internally generated growth in
existing product categories, international expansion, accretive
acquisitions and selective entry into new categories,” said Stephen
Berman, Chairman and CEO of JAKKS Pacific. “Much of our growth has been
driven by the successful execution of licenses with our valued partners,
which continue to contribute to our current success.”

JAKKS will continue to work with licensing partners, as well as develop
a growing base of proprietary IP and brands through organic growth and
acquisitions. JAKKS is in a transformative process extending beyond its
roots and expanding into new market segments and geographies. The
confluence of technological innovation, growing global consumer
purchasing power and the increased importance of strong brands, position
the company well for future expansion.

“Considering our progress and the exciting opportunities ahead, we
believe the time is right to engage a comprehensive financial
communications firm like Liolios. They bring a proven track record of
assisting dynamic companies like JAKKS effectively deliver their message
to the global capital markets. This is especially true following their
recent addition of Wall Street veteran analyst Sean McGowan, who is
recognized as an expert in several of our active categories — such as
toys, digital games, juvenile products — as well as others we are
targeting,” said Berman.

Liolios will work closely with management to provide strategic advisory,
messaging and corporate positioning, as well as assist in communicating
with new and existing investors and members of the financial community.

Scott Liolios, President of Liolios, commented: “Our ability to deliver
proven industry expertise as well as a track record of helping companies
navigate the capital markets gives us confidence that we can help JAKKS
broaden its outreach to the financial community, improve communication
and increase awareness of the company’s transformation.”

McGowan added, “I have followed JAKKS Pacific’s story for more than 20
of my 30 years on Wall Street, and I believe its opportunities for
growth, category expansion and shareholder value creation have never
been better. I look forward to using my experience to help JAKKS realize
its potential and communicate its exciting and evolving story.”
