Article Summary
HOLD- Electronic Arts (NASDAQ: EA) received European Union antitrust approval for its acquisition of sole control of video game publisher Electronic Arts in a $55bn transaction announced in September 2025.
- The European Commission said the transaction would not raise competition concerns given its limited impact on competition in markets where the companies are active, according to the Commission.
- Under the terms announced by EA, investors are set to acquire 100% of Electronic Arts, with PIF rolling over its existing 9.9% stake in EA, while stockholders are to receive $210 per share in cash representing a 25% premium to unaffected share price of $168.32 at close of trading on 25 September 2025, the last fully unaffected trading day.
- The offer also represents a premium to EA's unaffected all-time high of $179.01 at close on 14 August 2025, with EA describing the transaction as the largest all-cash sponsor take-private investment in history.
