DEAR FELLOW STOCKHOLDERS:
You are cordially invited to join us at our 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on July 31, 2008 at
2:00 p.m. The meeting will be held at the headquarters campus of Electronic Arts in Building 250 (please note
that the street address for Building 250 is 250 Shoreline Drive, Redwood City, California). For your
convenience, we are also pleased to offer a live webcast of our Annual Meeting on the Investor Relations
section of our web site at investor.ea.com. At this meeting, we are asking the stockholders to:
• Elect eight directors;
• Approve amendments to our 2000 Equity Incentive Plan and 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan; and
• Ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal
2009.
After the meeting, we will report on our recent performance and answer your questions.
Details regarding admission to the meeting and the business to be conducted are described in the Notice of
Internet Availability of Proxy Materials you received in the mail and in this proxy statement. We have also
made available a copy of our Annual Report for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2008 with this proxy
statement. We encourage you to read our Annual Report. It includes our audited financial statements and
provides information about our business and products.
You may have noticed changes in the way we are providing proxy materials to our stockholders in connection
with our 2008 Annual Meeting. This is because we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over
the Internet under the Securities and Exchange Commission’s new “notice and access” rules. By providing our
proxy materials over the Internet, we hope to conserve natural resources and reduce the environmental impact
of our Annual Meeting, expedite the delivery of this important information to you, and reduce our printing and
mailing costs. For further information, please see the Commonly Asked Questions and Answers section of this
proxy statement.
Your vote is important. Whether or not you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we hope you will vote as soon
as possible. You may vote over the Internet, by telephone or, if you requested to receive printed proxy
materials, by mailing a proxy or voting instruction card. Please review the instructions on each of your voting
options described in this proxy statement as well as in the Notice you received in the mail.
Thank you for your ongoing support of Electronic Arts. We look forward to seeing you at the 2008 Annual
Meeting.
Sincerely,
John S. Riccitiello
Chief Executive Officer
