You may vote by telephone.
You may do this by following the ""Vote by Telephone'' instructions on your proxy card. If you vote
by telephone, you do not have to mail in your proxy card.
You may vote on the Internet.
You may do this by following the ""Vote by Internet'' instructions on your proxy card. If you vote by
Internet, you do not have to mail in your proxy card. The law of Delaware, where we are
incorporated, allows a proxy to be sent electronically, so long as it includes or is accompanied by
information that lets the inspector of elections determine it has been authorized by the stockholder.
You may vote in person at the meeting.
You may complete the ballot we will pass out to any stockholder who wants to vote at the meeting.
However, if you hold your shares in street name, you must obtain a proxy from the institution that
holds your shares in order to vote at the meeting.
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
It means that you have multiple accounts at the transfer agent or with stockbrokers. Please complete and
return all proxy cards, or follow the instructions on each to vote by telephone or over the Internet, to
ensure that all your shares are voted.
What if I change my mind after I give my proxy?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the meeting. You
may do this by:
Proxy Statement
Sending a signed statement to the Company that the proxy is revoked (you may send such a
statement to the Company's Secretary at our corporate headquarters address listed on the Notice of
Meeting);
Signing another proxy with a later date;
Voting by telephone or on the Internet at a later date (your latest vote is counted); or
Voting in person at the meeting.
Your proxy will not be revoked if you attend the meeting but do not vote.
Who will count the votes?
An employee of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of
election.
How many shares must be present to hold the meeting?
To hold the meeting and conduct business, a majority of EA's outstanding voting shares as of June 6, 2006
must be present or represented by proxies at the meeting. On this date a total of 306,158,333 shares of
common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Shares representing a majority, or 153,079,167 of
these votes must be present. This is called a quorum.
Shares are counted as present at the meeting if:
They are voted in person at the meeting, or
The stockholder has properly submitted a proxy card or voted via telephone or the Internet.
Will my shares be voted if I do not sign and return my proxy card?
If your shares are registered in your name, they will not be voted unless you submit your proxy card, vote
by telephone or on the Internet or vote in person at the meeting.
