OTHER COMPENSATION INFORMATION
Benefits and Retirement Plans
We provide a wide array of significant employee benefit programs to all of our regular, full-time employees,
including our NEOs, including medical, dental, prescription drug, vision care, disability insurance, life insurance,
accidental death and dismemberment (“AD&D”) insurance, a flexible spending plan, business travel accident
insurance, an educational reimbursement program, an adoption assistance program, an employee assistance
program, an employee stock purchase plan, paid time off, and a monthly car allowance or use of a company car
for employees in certain positions and locations, including in Sweden where Mr. Söderlund resides. We also
offer a sabbatical program for regular full-time employees who commenced employment prior to October 7,
2009. If employees, including our NEOs, are unable to utilize their full sabbatical benefit within the eligibility
period, they receive a cash payout for their accrued, but unused, sabbatical. In fiscal 2015, Mr. Wilson received a
payout of approximately $38,500 in accordance with the terms of the sabbatical program, as he was unable to
utilize his full sabbatical benefit within the eligibility period.
We offer retirement plans to our employees based upon their country of employment. In the United States, our
employees, including our U.S.-based NEOs, are eligible to participate in a tax-qualified section 401(k) savings
plan, with an annual Company discretionary matching contribution of up to 6% of eligible compensation. The
amount of the matching contribution is determined each year based on the Company’s fiscal year performance.
We also maintain a nonqualified deferred compensation plan in which executive-level employees, including our
NEOs and our Directors, are eligible to participate. None of our NEOs participated in the deferred compensation
plan during fiscal 2015. In Sweden, where Mr. Söderlund resides, the Company contributes to supplementary ITP
occupational pension plans (the “ITP Plans”) for eligible employees, which provide retirement, life insurance and
disability benefits. Eligible employees above certain income thresholds also may elect to participate in an
alternative ITP Plan. The ITP Plans are offered pursuant to the terms of a collective agreement between the
Confederation of Swedish Enterprise and the Council for Negotiation and Cooperation.
Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits
While our NEOs generally receive the same benefits that are available to our other regular, full-time employees,
they also receive certain additional benefits, including access to a Company-paid physical examination program,
and greater maximum benefit levels for life insurance, AD&D, and long-term disability coverage. We consider
these benefits to be standard components of a competitive executive compensation package. Company-
reimbursed air and ground transportation generally is limited to business travel. During fiscal 2015, Mr. Moss
spent approximately half of his time working from Company headquarters in Redwood Shores, California and
the other half working from Seattle, Washington, where he resides. We reimbursed Mr. Moss for expenses
associated with regular travel between his Seattle home and Company headquarters and such expenses were
grossed-up for taxes. These expenses and the associated tax gross-up are reported in the “All Other
Compensation” column of our “Fiscal 2015 Summary Compensation Table” beginning on page 39 of this Proxy
Statement. We will cease to pay for these expenses upon Mr. Moss’ relocation to California, which is expected to
occur in calendar 2015.
Relocation Assistance
We provide relocation benefits to our executive officers, including our NEOs, in order to induce job candidates to
accept job offers for certain open positions that are critical to the Company’s business needs. These benefits may
include household goods and car shipment, travel, temporary housing, car rental, storage, miscellaneous
relocation allowance, closing costs and home sale commissions, house-hunting trips, and tax protection to offset
costs incurred by our executive officers as a result of these relocations.
Change of Control Arrangements and Severance
Our executive officers, including our NEOs, are eligible to participate in the Electronic Arts Inc. Key Employee
Continuity Plan (the “CoC Plan”), which is a “double-trigger” change of control plan that provides our executive
officers with payments and benefits if their employment is terminated in connection with a change of control. For
more information on the CoC Plan, please refer to the information included under the heading “Potential
Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control” beginning on page 46 of this Proxy Statement.
