General and administrative expenses increased by $56 million, or 16 percent, in fiscal year 2014, as compared to
fiscal year 2013. The increase was primarily due to (1) a $30 million accrual related to the anticipated settlement
of a litigation matter related to our college football franchise, (2) an $18 million loss on a license related to our
college football franchise, and (3) a $13 million increase in incentive-based compensation expense. This was
partially offset by a $7 million decrease in facility-related costs.

During fiscal year 2014, acquisition-related contingent consideration credits decreased by $29 million, or 45
percent, as compared to fiscal year 2013, primarily resulting from changes in our earn-out estimates related to
our PopCap acquisition. The PopCap earn-out expired on December 31, 2013. No payments were made under
this earn-out.

Amortization of intangibles decreased by $14 million, or 47 percent, in fiscal year 2014, as compared to fiscal
year 2013, primarily due to certain intangible assets from our acquisitions being fully amortized and impairment
charges incurred during fiscal year 2013.
