As a reminder, if the deal closes successfully, EA will almost entirely come under the umbrella of the Saudi Arabian Sovereign Fund—they will own 93.4% of the company. Silver Lake will receive a much smaller share at 5.5%, and Affinity Partners will get 1.1%.
Under the terms of the agreement, investors will need to purchase EA shares at a price of $210 each. Overall, they will pay over $55 billion.
Now, EA and its buyers need to secure approval from antitrust regulators. If they do not object, the deal will be finalized by July 2026.
