Overview

• Public shareholders will receive $210 in cash per share, a roughly 25% premium to EA’s unaffected price.
• The buyer group—Saudi Arabia’s PIF with Silver Lake and Affinity Partners—will acquire 100% of EA in an all-cash transaction valued at about $55 billion, the largest leveraged buyout on record.
• Financing includes approximately $36 billion in equity from the consortium and about $20 billion in debt committed by JPMorgan Chase.
• PIF will roll its existing roughly 9.9% stake; EA will be delisted at closing, with Andrew Wilson continuing as CEO and headquarters remaining in Redwood City, California.
• The agreement has board approval and remains subject to shareholder and regulatory reviews, with closing targeted for EA’s Q1 fiscal 2027.
