EA Reports $38.7M Payout for CEO in 10‑K as Layoffs and Take‑Private Plan Loom

The filing highlights strong franchise and GenAI results while flagging executive security costs and a proposed Saudi‑led buyout that would end public reporting.

Overview

  • EA’s July 2026 10‑K shows CEO Andrew Wilson received about $38.7 million in stock awards and bonuses for the 2026 fiscal year.
  • The same filing lists multi‑million payouts for other senior executives, including Laura Miele at roughly $13.7 million and Stuart Canfield near $11.3 million.
  • EA says Battlefield 6, EA Sports FC and Skate met key product milestones and that the company launched a generative AI investment framework and strategic AI partnerships.
  • The report records about $2.3 million as ‘other compensation’ tied to a June 2025 security assessment that recommended private air travel for the CEO.
  • The 10‑K reiterates a proposed take‑private transaction led by an investor group including Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund, which would reduce future public disclosures and requires regulatory approvals in places such as the EU.
