Proxy Statement
I share an address with another stockholder, and we received only one paper copy of the proxy materials. How
can I obtain an additional copy of the proxy materials?
The Company has adopted an SEC-approved procedure called “householding.” Under this procedure, the
Company may deliver a single copy of the Notice, Annual Report and this Proxy Statement to multiple
stockholders who share the same last name and address and who have consented to householding in accordance
with SEC rules unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of those stockholders.
This procedure reduces the environmental impact of the Company’s annual meetings, and reduces the
Company’s printing and mailing costs. Stockholders who participate in householding will continue to receive
separate proxy cards. Upon written or oral request, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of the
Notice, Annual Report and this Proxy Statement to any stockholder at a shared address to which the Company
delivered a single copy of any of these documents.
To receive free of charge a separate copy of the Notice, Annual Report and this Proxy Statement, or separate
copies of these documents in the future, stockholders may write our Corporate Secretary at 209 Redwood Shores
Parkway, Redwood City, CA 94065 or call [phone].
If you are receiving more than one copy of the proxy materials at a single address and would like to participate in
householding, please contact the Company using the mailing address or phone number above. Stockholders who
hold shares in street name may contact their brokerage firm, bank, broker-dealer or other similar organization to
request information about householding.
What if I change my mind after I give my proxy?
You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the polls close at the Annual Meeting. You
may do this by:
• Sending a signed statement to the Company that the proxy is revoked (you may send such a statement to
the Corporate Secretary at our corporate headquarters address listed above);
• Signing and returning another proxy with a later date;
• Voting by telephone or on the Internet at any time prior to 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on July 27, 2016
(your latest vote is counted); or
• Voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
Your proxy will not be revoked if you attend the Annual Meeting but do not vote.
How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?
To hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business, a majority of EA’s outstanding voting shares as of June 6,
2016 must be present or represented by proxies at the Annual Meeting. On June 6, 2016, a total of
301,383,330 shares of common stock were outstanding and entitled to vote. Each share of common stock is
entitled to one vote. Shares representing a majority, or at least 150,691,666 shares, of these votes must be present
in person or by proxy. This is called a quorum.
Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if:
• They are entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting and are present at the Annual Meeting in person, or
• The stockholder has voted on the Internet, by telephone or a properly submitted proxy card.
Who will count the votes?
A representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.
How are votes counted?
You may vote “for,” “against” or “abstain” with respect to each of the nominees for election to the Board of
Directors and on each of the proposals. A share voted “abstain” with respect to any proposal is considered as
