What HASBRO puts in, and what the plan costs
What HASBRO put into the plan, per active participant
$11,666
HASBRO, INC. put $11,666 into this plan for each of its 2,382 active participants in plan year 2024. This is the whole employer side of the plan: matching money, profit sharing, non-elective and safe-harbor contributions, and reallocated forfeitures. The Form 5500 does not separate them, so this is what the employer put in and not the match.
HASBRO put in more per active participant than 99% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants in industrial and materials manufacturing. The middle plan in that group of 766 reported $2,514. Industrial and materials manufacturing comes from business code 326100, which HASBRO entered on its own Form 5500. Sponsors pick that code themselves, so a code that does not describe what the employer does ranks the plan against the wrong companies.
Matched to this employer by sponsor name, not by an identifier stated in the filing. This record could cover another plan of the same employer.
What this figure cannot separate: how much HASBRO pays, and how much it puts in
This is dollars, not a rate. A Form 5500 carries no payroll, so the figure reflects both how much the employer puts in and how much the employer pays: two plans running the same formula report different amounts when one pays better. Crossing the peer group with industry holds most of that difference still, and none of it disappears.
This is one plan year, not an average. A true-up, a plan merger or a one-off contribution moves a single year on its own.

The $11,666 above is the Form 5500 figure for plan year 2024, and it counts every employer dollar on one line. HASBRO, INC. also files a Form 11-K, which states the match formula for plan year 2025: the card below reads $2,970 a year at a $49,500 salary, and the same filing states employer contributions made outside the match. That second figure is what the formula pays one worker on that salary, and not an amount either filing reports. The two figures cover different plan years and measure different things, so neither one is the other one corrected.
What HASBRO puts in
$2,970
a year, at a $49,500 salary.
The match paragraph, word for word
“The Company makes a matching contribution of 200% of the first 2% of the participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period, plus a 50% match of the next 4% of participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period up to a maximum matching contribution of 6% of a participant's eligible pay per pay period.”
What you contribute to collect all of it
Contribute at least 6% of your pay to collect the full match.
That is $2,970 a year at a $49,500 salary, and it scales with your own.
Vesting score
100 out of 100
How fast the employer’s money becomes yours. Higher than 48% of the 253 schedules we have scored.
It measures vesting speed and nothing else. It says nothing about the size of the match, what the plan charges, or the funds inside it.
Share of the employer's money that is the worker's at hire and at each of the first 6 anniversaries: 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%, 100%. The score is the average of those 7 readings.
Vesting, word for word
“All participants currently employed by the Company own, or are vested in, 100% of both employee contributions and the Company's matching contributions to the Plan. Participants become 100% vested in the Company's discretionary annual contribution after three years of vesting service. Participants earn one year of vesting service for each calendar year in which the participant has worked at least 1,000 hours.”
The wait before the match starts and the year-end true-up appear above when the filing states them. Neither is part of the score, and a filing that is silent on one of them is not a plan without it.
What the plan costs, against plans of its size
53rd percentile
$89.73 per participant in plan-paid administrative cost, more expensive than 53% of plans with 1,000–4,999 participants.
What is HASBRO's 401(k) match formula?
HASBRO's 401(k) employer match tops out at 6% of pay. The match is deposited each payroll. A tiered formula pays its best rate on the first slice of pay and less on the next, which is how the rate steps down.
| Match formula | 200% of the first 2% of pay |
|---|---|
| then | 50% of the next 4% of pay |
| Maximum employer match | 6% of compensation |
| Deposited | Each payroll |
| Other employer contribution | The Company may also make a discretionary annual contribution after the close of each year, which is targeted at 3% of eligible pay. Discretionary contributions totaling $10,272,001 and $6,460,527 were made for plan years 2025 and 2024, respectively. |
At a $45,000 salary, contributing 6% ($2,700) earns the full employer match of $2,700 for the year.
What the filing says, word for word
“The Company makes a matching contribution of 200% of the first 2% of the participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period, plus a 50% match of the next 4% of participants' eligible pay that they contribute per pay period up to a maximum matching contribution of 6% of a participant's eligible pay per pay period.”

What is HASBRO's 401(k) vesting schedule?
HASBRO vests the employer match immediately: 100% is yours as soon as it is paid in. Nothing is forfeited when you leave, which is not true of the two schedules that vest over time.
| Employer match vesting | Immediate: employer match is 100% vested when contributed |
|---|---|
| Your own contributions | Immediate: always 100% yours |
| Year of service | Participants earn one year of vesting service for each calendar year in which the participant has worked at least 1,000 hours. |
| Other employer contributions | Participants become 100% vested in the Company's discretionary annual contribution after three years of vesting service. |

Who can join HASBRO's 401(k), and is enrollment automatic?
HASBRO's filing does not mention automatic enrollment, which is not the same as the plan having none.
| Plan entry | Participation in the Plan is voluntary and to be eligible, employees must have attained age 21 and be in a covered job classification. |
|---|---|
| Automatic enrollment | Not mentioned in the filing (not proof of absence) |
