(415) 952-1678 500 FORBES BLVD., SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, CA 94080 NOVEMBER 15, 1996 Dear Shareholder: Through recent conversations with several shareholders who voted their shares of Galoob common stock against the Company's proposed 1996 Share Incentive Plan, three areas of concern have surfaced which we want to clarify: 1. Option repricing, substitutions or exchanges -------------------------------------------- Paragraph 20 of the Plan states in part "by mutual agreement between the Company and a participant hereunder, under this Plan or under any other present or future plan of the Company, Benefits may be granted to such participant in substitution and exchange for, and in cancellation of, any Benefits previously granted such participant under this Plan, or any other present or future plan of the Company." The Company has no intention of repricing any outstanding stock options under the Plan. This was previously expressed to Institutional Shareholder Services in the letter of October 18, 1996 from Mr. Mark Goldman, the Company's President and CEO. Paragraph 20 will be amended to clarify that options will not be repriced after they have been issued. 2. Restricted stock ---------------- Paragraph 8 of the Plan provides for the granting of Stock Awards without specific time requirements on the restrictions attached to the award. It is not the Company's present intention to use such Stock Awards. The section was included in the plan to provide flexibility in the future. However, Paragraph 8 will be amended to specify that Stock Awards which are not performance based will be restricted for a minimum three years. Performance based awards will be restricted with regard to the future goals to be achieved (i.e., earnings or stock price levels). 3. Dilution -------- The proposed plan authorized the issuance of 1,850,000 new shares. The Company believes this level is needed to provide adequate incentives to current employees and to hire appropriate new employees to support the Company's current and expected future growth. At October 31, 1996, the Company had 15,149,651 shares outstanding. We will close our public offering for 2,392,866 shares (which includes a warrant exercise) on Monday, November 18, 1996. In addition, we have outstanding unexercised options for 1,503,750 shares and unexercised warrants for 75,000 shares. The total of those is 19,121,267 which makes the new option plan less than 10% of the total shares outstanding and issuable. We hope these clarifications will allow you to vote yes on the 1996 Share Incentive Plan. The Annual Meeting was adjourned as to this matter until November 22, 1996. If you have any questions, please call me at (415) 952-1678 ext. 2206. Very truly yours, William G. Catron Executive Vice President General Counsel and Chief Administration Officer ---------------------------------------------------------------------- South San Francisco New York Hong Kong -----END PRIVACY-ENHANCED MESSAGE-----
