Annual Report
earlier vesting in the event we terminate a recipient’s employment without “cause” or the recipient terminates
employment for “good reason.” We do not intend to grant any further awards under the VGH Inducement Plan.
In addition, in connection with our acquisition of VGH, in exchange for outstanding stock options and restricted
stock, we granted service-based non-interest bearing notes payable solely in shares of our common stock to
certain employees of VGH, who became employees of EA following the acquisition. These notes payable vest
over a period of four years, subject to earlier vesting in the event we terminate a recipient’s employment without
“cause” or the recipient terminates employment for “good reason.”
Options granted under the Equity Plan generally expire ten years from the date of grant and are generally
exercisable as to 24 percent of the shares after 12 months, and then ratably over the following 38 months. The
material terms of options granted under the VGH 2005 Plan are similar to our Equity Plan.

the aggregate intrinsic value of our stock options outstanding was $9 million. The aggregate intrinsic value
represents the total pre-tax intrinsic value based on our closing stock price as of March 31, 2011, which would
have been received by the option holders had all the option holders exercised their options as of that date. The
weighted-average grant date fair values of stock options granted during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were
$6.03, $7.81 and $10.28, respectively. The total intrinsic values of stock options exercised during fiscal years
2011, 2010 and 2009 were $1 million, $3 million and $46 million, respectively. The total estimated fair values
(determined as of the grant date) of stock options vested during fiscal years 2011, 2010 and 2009 were $24
million, $26 million and $83 million, respectively. We issue new common stock from our authorized shares upon
the exercise of stock options.
A total of 16.9 million options, or 11.8 million restricted stock units, were available for grant under our Equity
