Proxy Statement
PROPOSALS TO BE VOTED ON
PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will elect ten directors to hold office for a one-year term until the next
annual meeting (or until their respective successors are elected and qualified). All nominees have consented to
serve a one-year term, if elected. For additional information regarding the nominees and our corporate
governance practices, including our director resignation policies, please see the sections of this Proxy Statement
entitled “2016 Proxy Statement Summary and Highlights,” “Commonly Asked Questions and Answers” and
“Board of Directors and Corporate Governance.”
The Board of Directors has nominated the following directors to stand for re-election:
Leonard S. Coleman
Jay C. Hoag
Jeffrey T. Huber
Vivek Paul
Lawrence F. Probst III
Richard A. Simonson
Luis A. Ubiñas
Denise F. Warren
Andrew Wilson
In addition, the Board of Directors has nominated Talbott Roche to stand for election at the Annual Meeting for
the first time.
The Board of Directors recommends a vote FOR each of the nominees
Required Vote
The 2016 election of directors will be uncontested. Accordingly, EA’s Amended and Restated Bylaws provide
that in an uncontested election of directors each nominee must receive more votes cast “for” than “against” his or
her election or re-election in order to be elected or re-elected to the Board of Directors. Shares represented by
your proxy will be voted by the proxy holders “for” the election of the ten nominees recommended by EA’s
Board of Directors unless you vote “against” any or all of such nominees or you mark your proxy to “abstain”
from so voting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have no effect on the outcome of the director elections.
