Hey Guys,

Mattel, Inc. (NYSE: MAT) today announced that on August 29, 2006, the Federal Trade Commission granted early termination of the waiting period imposed by the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, with respect to Mattel’s proposed acquisition of Radica Games Limited (NASDAQ: RADA), which was previously announced on July 26, 2006. In addition, on August 30, 2006, the German Federal Cartel Office terminated the waiting period with respect to the proposed transaction pursuant to the German Act Against Restraints of Competition. Termination of the waiting periods satisfies one of the conditions for closing the proposed transaction, which is subject to approval of Radica shareholders and other customary closing conditions. It is expected that the transaction will be completed in the fourth quarter of 2006.
