Gaming Giant Goes Private: EA's Staggering Record Buyout Shakes Industry
Major game publisher Electronic Arts (EA) has officially announced its acquisition for an impressive $55 billion, a decision that comes after a period of industry speculation. This monumental transaction has been identified by Variety as the largest leveraged buyout in history, underscoring its significant impact within the financial and gaming sectors.
The intricate deal involves a powerful group of investors, comprising the private-equity firm Silver Lake, Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, and Jared Kushner’s Affinity Partners. The final acquisition figure of $55 billion notably exceeds earlier reports, which had valued the potential deal at approximately $50 billion, based on EA’s market capitalization at the time of the initial discussions.
