Acquisition-related contingent consideration expense decreased by $75 million, or 682 percent, in fiscal year
2013, as compared to fiscal year 2012, primarily resulting from decreases in our accrual related to our PopCap
acquisition.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by $13 million, or 30 percent, in fiscal year 2013, as compared to fiscal
year 2012, primarily due to certain intangible assets from our prior year acquisitions being fully amortized during
fiscal year 2012. This decrease was partially offset by $5 million of impairment charges recognized in fiscal year
2013.

$27 1% $16 —% $11 69%
During fiscal year 2013, restructuring and other charges increased by $11 million, or 69 percent, as compared to
fiscal year 2012, primarily due to (1) $22 million in costs in connection with our fiscal 2013 restructuring, which
was initiated in this fiscal year, and (2) a $10 million gain on the sale of our facility in Chertsey, England related
to our fiscal 2008 reorganization that was recognized during fiscal year 2012, and for which there was no
comparable gain in the current year. These increases were partially offset by costs that were recognized during
fiscal year 2012 comprised of (1) $15 million expense adjustment for the amendment of certain licensing
agreements related to our fiscal 2011 restructuring plan, and (2) $6 million in IT and other costs to assist in
reorganizing certain activities.
