Overview
- EA's amended Form 10‑K/A discloses that CEO Andrew Wilson received $38,649,984 in total fiscal 2026 compensation driven largely by stock awards and a performance bonus tied to Battlefield 6 and company targets.
- The filing reports that Battlefield 6 “achieved meeting all milestones for a high‑quality launch,” and that the game's commercial success and overall business performance funded the executive bonus pool.
- EA confirmed workforce reductions in March 2026 at Battlefield‑linked studios including DICE, Criterion, Ripple Effect, and Motive, which the company described at the time as a “realignment.”
- The report shows a roughly 305:1 ratio of CEO pay to the median employee compensation of about $126,612 and lists multi‑million dollar payouts for other senior executives.
- The disclosure arrives while a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s PIF, Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners holds a pending $55 billion bid for EA that has EU approval and would end the company's obligation to file future 10‑K reports, raising questions about governance, severance payouts, and public accountability.
