(1)
Represents amounts awarded under EA’s Discretionary Bonus Plan for fiscal 2007.
(2)
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 restricted stock units granted to the Named Executive Officers in fiscal 2007
as well as prior fiscal years. No stock awards were forfeited by any of the Named Executive Officers in
fiscal 2007, however, following his resignation on April 2, 2007, Mr. Lasky forfeited all unvested
restricted stock units. 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 vesting in a restricted stock unit award). For additional information regarding the valu-
ation 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
