HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery
requirements for notices of internet availability of proxy materials, proxy statements and annual reports with
respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single notice, proxy statement
and/or annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as
“householding”, potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.
This year, a number of brokers with account holders who are EA stockholders will be “householding” our
notices and proxy materials. A single notice or set of proxy materials will be delivered to multiple
stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders.
Once you have received notice from your broker that they will be “householding” communications to your
address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. If, at
any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate notice or
proxy materials, please notify your broker, direct your written request to our Corporate Secretary at our
principal executive office, or contact our Corporate Secretary at [phone]. Stockholders who currently
receive multiple copies of the notice or proxy materials at their address and would like to request
“householding” of their communications should contact their broker.
REQUESTS TO THE COMPANY
The Company will provide without charge, to each person to whom a Notice and/or a proxy statement is
delivered, upon request of such person and by first class mail within one business day of receipt of such
request, a copy of the 2000 Equity Incentive Plan and 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, each as proposed
to be amended. Any such request should be directed as follows: Stock Administration Department, Electronic
Arts Inc., 209 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94065 — telephone number [phone].
OTHER BUSINESS
The Board does not know of any other matter that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting
except as specified in the notice of the meeting. If any other matter does properly come before the Annual
Meeting, or at any adjournment or postponement of the Annual Meeting, it is intended that the proxies will be
voted in respect thereof in accordance with the judgment of the persons voting the proxies.
By Order of the Board of Directors,
Stephen G. Bené
