Summary
$38.7 million in stock awards and bonus payments went to EA CEO Andrew Wilson for fiscal 2026, according to the company's new 10-K filing.
EA tied the payout to business goals it said were met across major franchises: Battlefield 6 hit all milestones for a high-quality launch, EA Sports FC met retention and growth targets, and Skate surpassed its player goal.
The filing also credited a companywide AI push, including strategic partnerships, a GenAI investment framework, and AI use in research, expansion, and efficiency.
Senior executives also received large packages—Laura Miele $13.7 million, Stuart Canfield $11.3 million, Mala Singh $8.3 million, and Jacob Schatz $8.4 million—even as EA cut staff across Battlefield studios during the same fiscal year.
Those disclosures may soon disappear from public view because EA is set to go private after an approved Saudi-backed leveraged buyout, ending its obligation to publish 10-K reports.
