电子艺界将被沙特主导财团以550亿美元收购
摘要
电子艺界将被由沙特公共投资基金领导的财团以550亿美元全现金交易方式收购，这标志着历史上最大规模的私募股权收购之一。
电子艺界（EA），这家著名的视频游戏发行商，旗下拥有EA Sports FC、Madden NFL和模拟人生等知名系列，已同意被由沙特阿拉伯公共投资基金（PIF）领导的财团收购，该财团还包括私募股权公司银湖资本和Affinity Partners。此次全现金交易价值550亿美元，使其成为迄今为止最大规模的私募股权收购之一。根据协议条款，EA股东将获得每股210美元的收购价，较公司近期未受影响的股价溢价25%。该交易预计将在2027财年第一季度完成，需获得监管批准和股东同意。交易完成后，EA将成为一家私有公司，总部仍设在加利福尼亚州红木城。首席执行官安德鲁·威尔逊将继续领导公司。PIF目前已持有EA 9.9%的股份，将在此次交易中继续持有其现有投资。财团计划提供360亿美元股权融资，并从摩根大通获得200亿美元债务融资。此次收购符合PIF扩大其在游戏行业影响力的持续战略，此前其已投资任天堂、动视暴雪和Take-Two Interactive等公司。由于涉及外国投资者，该交易需接受包括美国外国投资委员会（CFIUS）在内的监管审查。如果获批，此次交易将结束EA作为一家上市公司的36年历史，使其能够摆脱公开市场压力，专注于长期增长机会。
