Electronic Arts Inc.
A digital entertainment maker behind blockbuster games like EA SPORTS FC, Madden NFL, The Sims, Apex Legends, and Battlefield, played by millions on consoles, PCs, and mobile devices. Founded in 1982 by Trip Hawkins, who wanted to treat game developers as artists rather than anonymous coders, the company first planned to call itself "SoftArt" before settling on Electronic Arts — a nod to treating software as an art form.
Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by the addition of the following: On August 4, 2026 (the "Closing Date"), Parent and Merger Sub completed the previously announced acquisition of Electronic Arts Inc. (the "Issuer"). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement and upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, on the Closing Date, Merger Sub merged with and into the Issuer, with the Issuer surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the effective time of the Merger, the "Effective Time"). At the Effective Time, subject to certain exceptions, each share of common stock of the Issuer (the "Common Stock") issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time was cancelled and converted automatically into the right to receive $210.00 in cash, without interest (the "Merger Consideration"). In addition, pursuant to the Support and Rollover Agreement, immediately prior to the Effective Time, the Reporting Person contributed to an indirect parent entity of Parent its Rollover Shares, consisting of 24,807,932 shares of Common Stock with an aggregate value (based on the Merger Consideration) of approximately $5.21 billion in exchange for equity interests in an indirect parent entity of Parent. Immediately after the foregoing contribution, such Rollover Shares were contributed down the ownership structure until held by Parent, and as a result of the Merger, each share of Common Stock held by Parent automatically converted into one share of common stock of the Surviving Corporation. The Common Stock was suspended from trading on the Nasdaq Global Select Market ("Nasdaq") prior to the opening of trading on August 5, 2026. Nasdaq has filed with the SEC a Notification of Removal from Listing and/or Registration under Section 12(b) of the Act on Form 25 to delist and deregister the Common Stock from Nasdaq. As a result, the Common Stock will no longer be listed on Nasdaq effective ten days after such filing (the "Delisting"). In addition, on or around August 14, 2026, the Issuer intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 under the Exchange Act requesting the deregistration of the Common Stock (the "Deregistration") under Section 12(g) of the Act and the suspension of the Issuer's reporting obligations under Sections 13(a) and 15(d) of the Act as promptly as practicable.
