ELECTRONIC ARTS
ELECTRONIC ARTS is registered with the California Secretary of State under registration number 1112766, with an original incorporation date of 27 May 1982; its status on the California register is currently listed as inactive. Electronic Arts Inc.’s own U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filings state that the business was incorporated in California in 1982 and reincorporated under Delaware law in September 1991; the group’s present operating and reporting entity, Electronic Arts Inc., is a Delaware corporation (SEC CIK 0000712515) headquartered at 209 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City, California.
The company is an interactive-entertainment business that develops, publishes and distributes video games and related digital content for console, PC and mobile platforms. Its principal franchises include EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, The Sims, Battlefield, Apex Legends and Need for Speed. Digital live services, including subscriptions, in-game purchases and downloadable content, made up 73% of total net revenue in the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025, according to the Form 10-K filed with the SEC.
On a consolidated basis, the group reported net revenue of 7.463 billion US dollars for the fiscal year ended 31 March 2025, down about 1% year on year, and around 14,500 employees worldwide as of that date, with 68% based outside the United States, reflecting development and publishing operations across North America, Europe and Asia.
Electronic Arts Inc.’s common stock traded on the Nasdaq Stock Market under the ticker EA. On 4 August 2026, following completion of a previously announced merger agreement, the stock was delisted from Nasdaq and deregistered with the SEC; the company is no longer publicly traded.
This California registration’s inactive status should not be read as evidence about whether the wider Electronic Arts group is currently trading: the operating and financial figures above relate to Electronic Arts Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries as reported in its own regulatory filings, rather than exclusively to activity recorded under this specific state registration.
Registration details
Officers
38
Directors and officers of ELECTRONIC ARTS
California Statement of Information filings held for this registration (No. 1112766) list 38 officer records in total, all currently flagged in the source data as active with no recorded resignation date. Rather than reflecting concurrent office-holders, the individual records correspond to different California filing years spanning several decades: the earliest identifies Trip Hawkins as President at the company’s original San Mateo address (1820 Gateway Drive), consistent with Hawkins’s well-documented role as Electronic Arts’ founder and first president in 1982. Later filings record Thomas Voytko, Eric Brown, Stephen Bene and Bryan Neider holding titles including President, Treasurer and General Partner, with correspondence addresses including 209 Redwood Shores Parkway, Redwood City, the address later used as the operating group’s headquarters. Because this registration’s overall status is now inactive and no resignation dates are recorded in the filing history reviewed, these records cannot be used to state a single current officer of this specific registration.
Data availability
California’s Statement of Information filings disclose officer names, titles and correspondence addresses, but do not disclose nationality or country of residence, and the reviewed records are not consistently linked to explicit appointment or resignation dates. Given this registration’s inactive status, the officer history is best treated as historical rather than as a current leadership list; nationality is not disclosed in any of these filings.
