Item 8.01 Other Events
On March 28, 2026, Hasbro, Inc. (the “Company”) identified unauthorized access to the Company’s network. Upon discovery, the Company promptly activated its security incident response protocols, implemented containment measures, including proactively taking certain systems offline, and launched an investigation with the assistance of third-party cybersecurity professionals.
The Company’s investigation is ongoing, and it is working diligently to resolve the matter and determine the full scope of impact. The Company has implemented and continues to implement business continuity plans to enable it to continue to take orders, ship product and conduct other key operations while it resolves this situation. The need to run these interim measures may continue for several weeks before the situation is fully resolved and may result in some delays.
The Company is also working to identify and review the files potentially impacted and will take additional actions as appropriate based on its review and findings, including providing any notifications deemed necessary under applicable law.
The Company will continue to implement measures to secure its business operations and take additional steps as appropriate.
