  • Transaction worth $55bn
  • Four in five shareholders agree
  • PIF to take 93.6% stake

Shareholders in game developer Electronic Arts have officially agreed to sell the majority of the company to Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

Four in five EA shareholders consented to the merger in an extraordinary meeting on Monday, a filing to the US Securities and Exchange Commission showed.

With the deal, a consortium comprising PIF, private equity company Silver Lake, and Affinity Partners, an asset manager headed by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, will buy the California-based company for $55 billion.

Sovereign wealth fund PIF is reportedly set to take a 93.6 percent share of EA and will roll over its existing 9.9 percent holding in the game developer.

EA makes some of the world’s most popular video games, including EA Sports FC (formerly known as Fifa), Battlefield 6, Apex Legends, and Madden.

Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman pledged in January to invest another $600 billion in the US during Trump’s second term in office.

(Photo by Paul Natkin/Getty Images) Getty Images Singer Lou Gramm has a vivid memory of recording the ballad “Waiting for a Girl Like You” at New York City’s Electric Lady Studio for his band Foreigner more than 40 years ago. Gramm was adding his vocals for the track in the control room on the other side of the glass when he noticed a beautiful woman walking through the door. “She sits on the sofa in front of the board,” he says. “She looked at me while I was singing. And every now and then, she had a little smile on her face. I’m not sure what that was, but it was driving me crazy. “And at the end of the song, when I’m singing the ad-libs and stuff like that, she gets up,” he continues. “She gives me a little smile and walks out of the room. And when the song ended, I would look up every now and then to see where Mick [Jones] and Mutt [Lange] were, and they were pushing buttons and turning knobs. They were not aware that she was even in the room. So when the song ended, I said, ‘Guys, who was that woman who walked in?
