how much did ea sell for

Electronic Arts (EA) was sold for approximately $55 billion in an all-cash deal. Shareholders were set to receive $210 per share, which represented a 25% premium over the stock price before the deal was announced. This acquisition marks the largest leveraged buyout in history, with the purchase financed by a consortium including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF), Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners. The deal includes $36 billion in cash and $20 billion in debt financing arranged by JPMorgan. EA will transition to a private company once the transaction is complete, which is expected to close by the first quarter of 2027.
