Why are you adopting the Executive Bonus Plan?
We are adopting the Executive Bonus Plan because the Board believes that it is in the best interests of
Electronic Arts and its stockholders to ensure that bonuses paid to our executive officers are generally
deductible by Electronic Arts for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, Electronic Arts has structured the
Executive Bonus Plan to satisfy the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the
“Code”) for “performance-based” compensation. If the Executive Bonus Plan is approved by the stockholders,
the compensation we pay pursuant to the Executive Bonus Plan, beginning with fiscal 2008, will not be
subject to the corporate compensation deduction limits set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code. If the
Executive Bonus Plan is not approved by the stockholders, any bonuses we pay to covered executive officers
will be subject to the deduction limits of Section 162(m). Even if the Executive Bonus Plan is approved, we
reserve the right to pay bonuses to our executive officers outside of the Executive Bonus Plan.
For more information regarding the proposed Executive Bonus Plan, please see Proposal 4. Approval of the
Electronic Arts Inc. Executive Bonus Plan below.
Who will pay for this proxy solicitation?
We will bear the costs of soliciting proxies from our stockholders. These costs include preparing, assembling,
printing, mailing and distributing the proxy statements, proxy cards and annual reports. If you choose to access
the proxy materials and/or vote over the Internet, you are responsible for Internet access charges you may
incur. If you choose to vote by telephone, you are responsible for telephone charges you may incur. In
addition, some of our officers, directors, employees and other agents may also solicit proxies personally, by
telephone and by electronic and regular mail, and we will pay these costs as well. EA will also reimburse
brokerage houses and other custodians for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding proxy and
solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of common stock.
Whom can I call with any questions about my shares?
You may contact your broker. If you don’t own your shares through a broker but are a shareholder of record,
you may also call our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, at 1-800-468-9716 (or 1-651-450-4064
for international callers) or visit their web site at www.wellsfargo.com/shareownerservices.
