Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund could reportedly own nearly all of Electronic Arts Inc. under the buyout plan for the video game giant.
The Saudi fund would own 93.4% of Redwood City, Calif.-based EA, according to a Wall Street Journal report Tuesday, which cited a recent filing with a Brazilian antitrust regulator. Private equity firm Silver Lake Partners would own 5.5% of the gaming company, while the Jared Kushner-run Affinity Partners would claim 1.1%, the Journal reported.
Representatives from EA, Silver Lake Partners and Affinity Partners did not respond immediately to requests for comment.
Announced in September, the $55-billion deal for EA would be the biggest leveraged buyout in history. The deal is expected to close next year, pending regulatory and shareholder approval.
