The amounts presented in this column represent compensation that was earned and paid as cash. As
described above and in footnote 5 below, our non-employee directors may elect to receive all or part of
their cash compensation in the form of EA common stock. The value of the EA common stock received in
lieu of cash payments during fiscal 2007 by our non-employees directors is reflected in the “All Other
Compensation” column above.
(2)
Represents awards of 700 restricted stock units granted under EA’s 2000 Equity Incentive Plan. Each
restricted stock unit award fully vests on the date of the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Upon vest-
ing, each restricted stock unit converts into the right to receive one share of EA common stock, and does
not have an exercise price or expiration date. The restricted stock units are not entitled to receive dividends,
if any, paid by EA on its common stock.
(3)
Represents the expense recognized by EA for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 123 (revised 2004) (“SFAS No. 123(R)”), as modified to
exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions, for awards of
restricted stock units granted to the non-employee directors in fiscal 2007. No stock awards were forfeited
by any of the non-employee directors in fiscal 2007. The amounts reflected above represent the value deter-
mined by EA for reporting purposes only and do not reflect whether the recipient has actually realized a
financial benefit from the awards (such as by vesting in a restricted stock unit award). For additional infor-
mation regarding the valuation methodology used by EA, see note 12, “Stock-Based Compensation and
Employee Benefit Plans”, of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007.
(4)
Represents the expense recognized by EA for financial statement reporting purposes in accordance with
SFAS No. 123(R), as modified to exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vest-
ing conditions, for awards of stock options granted to the non-employee directors in fiscal 2007 as well as
prior fiscal years. With the exception of Mr. Pittman, no stock options were forfeited by any of the non-
employee directors in fiscal 2007. Following his departure from our Board, Mr. Pittman forfeited unvested
stock options to purchase 17,000 shares and allowed another vested stock option, the exercise price of
which was underwater, to expire unexercised. The amounts reflected above represent the value determined
by EA for reporting purposes only and do not reflect whether the recipient has actually realized a financial
benefit from the awards (such as by exercising stock options). For a more detailed discussion on the valua-
tion model and assumptions used to calculate the fair value of EA’s stock options, see note 12, “Stock-
Based Compensation and Employee Benefit Plans”, of the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2007. In fiscal 2007, each non-employee director,
other than Mr. Simonson, received a stock option to purchase 10,000 shares of EA common stock. As a
newly elected director, Mr. Simonson received an initial stock option grant to purchase 25,000 shares in fis-
cal 2007.
