EA plans to be acquired for $55 billion by investors led by Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia


EA has decided to go private in a deal with $55 billion and its set to be acquired by a consortium of investors led by Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners. The buyout of EA is expected to close in the first quarter of the 2027 financial year. The team will continue to be led by Andrew Wilson.

“Under the terms of the agreement, the Consortium will acquire 100% of EA, with PIF rolling over its existing 9.9% stake in the Company. EA stockholders will receive $210 per share in cash. The per share purchase price represents a 25% premium to EA’s unaffected share price of $168.32 at market close on September 25, 2025, the last fully unaffected trading day, and a premium to EA’s unaffected all-time high of $179.01 at market close on August 14, 2025.”

“Electronic Arts ​is ​an ​extraordinary ​company with a ​world-class ​management ​team and a bold vision ​for ​the ​future. ​I’ve admired their ​ability to create iconic, lasting experiences, ​and ​as ​someone ​who ​grew up playing their ​games ​- and now enjoys them with his ​kids – I couldn’t be ​more ​excited about ​what’s ​ahead,” said Jared Kushner, Chief Executive Officer of Affinity Partners.
