What happened
Mattel acquired The Learning Company (TLC) in 1999 through a stock deal. The acquisition was valued at up to $4.2 billion. TLC was a publicly traded company at the time of the purchase.
Why it matters
The purchase established a parent-subsidiary relationship between Mattel and TLC. Following the acquisition, reports indicated that TLC began losing money shortly thereafter. The company's decline contributed to a sharp drop in Mattel's shares.
