Overview

• EA stockholders will receive $210 per share in cash, a 25% premium to the Sept. 25 closing price.
• Financing includes about $36 billion in consortium equity and $20 billion in debt committed by JPMorgan Chase.
• EA’s board approved the transaction, which is subject to a shareholder vote and customary regulatory reviews before the expected Q1 FY2027 close.
• Upon completion, EA will be delisted and remain based in Redwood City, with Andrew Wilson continuing as CEO, and PIF will roll over its roughly 9.9% stake.
• If completed, the buyout would be the largest leveraged takeover on record and is described as the biggest all-cash sponsor take-private to date.
