Item 5.03. Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On November 8, 2006, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Electronic Arts Inc. (“EA”), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board, approved and adopted the following amendments to EA’s Bylaws (“Bylaws”):

• Section 1.5 of the Bylaws was amended to change the voting standard for the election of directors from a plurality to a majority voting standard in uncontested elections. Under the new majority voting standard, a nominee for director shall be elected to the Board if the votes cast “for” such nominee’s election exceed the votes cast “against” such nominee’s election (a “Majority Vote”). Directors will continue to be elected by plurality vote at any meeting of stockholders for which (i) EA’s Secretary receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for director set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of the Bylaws and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn on or prior to the tenth day preceding the date EA first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to its stockholders.

• Section 1.5 was further amended to provide that, if a director fails to receive a Majority Vote in an uncontested election, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board will consider whether the director has, in accordance with EA’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, previously submitted an irrevocable resignation contingent upon (i) his or her failure to receive a Majority Vote and (ii) acceptance by the Board of Directors of such resignation and, if so, will recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. Section 1.5 of the Bylaws requires the Board to act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results and to publicly disclose its decision promptly thereafter.

• The advanced notice provisions of Section 1.2 were expanded to require an appropriate stockholder notice to include, among other things, a statement as to whether the person to be nominated for director by a stockholder, if elected and in accordance with EA’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, intends to tender, promptly following such person’s election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon such person’s failure to receive the required vote for re-election at the next meeting at which such person would face re-election.

The amendments to the Bylaws became effective on November 8, 2006. EA’s Amended and Restated Bylaws are attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and are incorporated herein by reference.

Item 8.01. Other Events.

On November 8, 2006, in connection with the amendments to EA’s Bylaws referred to in Item 5.03 above, the Board, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, approved and adopted the following amendments to EA’s Corporate Governance Guidelines (“Guidelines”):

• The Guidelines were amended to (i) reiterate the majority voting standard provided for in the Bylaws, (ii) state the Board’s expectation that a director will tender his or her resignation if he or she fails to receive the required number of votes for re-election in an uncontested election, (iii) require that, in determining whether to recommend a director for re-election, the Nominating and Governance Committee shall consider whether he or she has previously submitted an irrevocable resignation, as described below, (iv) require that the Board only nominate candidates for election or re-election as a director who have previously tendered or, in the case of candidates who have not yet become members of the Board, have agreed to tender promptly following the annual meeting at which they are elected or re-elected as director, irrevocable resignations that will be effective upon (a) a failure to receive the required majority vote at the next annual or special meeting at which they face re-election in an uncontested election, and (b) Board acceptance of such resignation, and (v) require the Board to fill director

vacancies and new directorships only with candidates who agree to tender, promptly following their appointment to the Board, the same form of irrevocable resignation tendered by other directors in accordance with the Guidelines.

• The Guidelines were also amended to provide that, if an incumbent director fails to receive the required majority vote in an uncontested election, (i) the Nominating and Governance Committee will act on an expedited basis to determine whether to accept the director’s resignation and will submit such recommendation for prompt consideration by the Board, (ii) the Board expects the director whose resignation is under consideration to abstain from participating in any decision regarding his or her resignation, (iii) the Nominating and Governance Committee and the Board may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to recommend/accept a director’s resignation, and (iv) the Board will act on the Nominating and Governance Committee’s recommendation within 90 days from the date of the certification of election results and will publicly disclose its decision promptly thereafter.

The amendments to the Guidelines became effective on November 8, 2006. The Guidelines are available on EA’s website at investor.ea.com.

(a Delaware Corporation)

As Amended through November 8, 2006

ARTICLE I

STOCKHOLDERS

Section 1.1: Location of Stockholder Meetings. Meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation shall be held at such place, either within or without the State of Delaware, as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors may, in its sole discretion, determine that the meeting shall not be held at any place, but may instead be held solely by means of remote communication in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”).

Section 1.2: Annual Meetings.

(a) The annual meeting of the stockholders of the Corporation, for the purpose of election of directors and for such other business as may properly be brought before the meeting, shall be held on such date and at such time as may be designated from time to time by the Board of Directors. If no annual meeting is held in accordance with the foregoing provisions, a special meeting may be held in lieu of the annual meeting, and any action taken at that special meeting shall have the same effect as if it had been taken at the annual meeting, and in such case all references in these bylaws to the annual meeting of the stockholders shall be deemed to refer to such special meeting.

(b) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors of the Corporation and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at an annual meeting of stockholders: (i) pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of such meeting; (ii) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors; or (iii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who was a stockholder of record at the time of giving the stockholder’s notice provided for in Section 1.2(c) below, who is entitled to vote at the meeting and who has complied with the notice procedures set forth in this Section 1.2.

(c) At an annual meeting of the stockholders, only such business shall be conducted as shall have been properly brought before the meeting. For nominations or other business to be properly brought before an annual meeting by a stockholder pursuant to clause (iii) of Section 1.2(b) of these Bylaws, (i) the stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to the Secretary of the Corporation, (ii) such other business must be a proper matter for stockholder action under the DGCL, (iii) if the stockholder, or the beneficial owner on whose behalf any such proposal or nomination is made, has provided the Corporation with a Solicitation Notice (as defined in clause (iii) of the last sentence of this Section 1.2(c)), such stockholder or beneficial owner must, in the case of a proposal, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry any such proposal, or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, have delivered a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of a percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares reasonably believed by such stockholder or beneficial owner to be sufficient to elect the nominee or nominees proposed to be nominated by such stockholder, and must, in either case, have included in such materials the Solicitation Notice, and (iv) if no Solicitation Notice relating thereto has been timely provided pursuant to

1

this section, the stockholder or beneficial owner proposing such business or nomination must not have solicited a number of proxies sufficient to have required the delivery of such a Solicitation Notice under this Section 1.2. To be timely, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the sixtieth (60^th) day nor earlier than the close of business on the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to the first anniversary (the “Anniversary”) of the date on which the Corporation first mailed its proxy materials for the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the annual meeting is advanced more than thirty (30) days prior to or delayed by more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting, notice by the stockholder to be timely must be so delivered not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such annual meeting or the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. In no event shall the adjournment of an annual meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above. Such stockholder’s notice shall set forth: (A) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or re-election as a director (i) all information relating to such person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations of proxies for election of directors in an election contest, or is otherwise required, in each case pursuant to Regulation 14A under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) including such person’s written consent to being named in a proxy statement as a nominee and to serving as a director if elected, and (ii) a statement as to whether such person, if elected and in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, intends to tender, promptly following such person’s election or re-election, an irrevocable resignation effective upon such person’s failure to receive the required vote for re-election at the next meeting at which such person would face re-election; (B) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and any material interest in such business of such stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made; and (C) as to the stockholder giving the notice and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination or proposal is made (i) the name and address of such stockholder, as they appear on the Corporation’s books, and of such beneficial owner, (ii) the class and number of shares of the Corporation that are owned beneficially and of record by such stockholder and such beneficial owner, and (iii) whether either such stockholder or beneficial owner intends to deliver a proxy statement and form of proxy to holders of, in the case of a proposal, at least the percentage of the Corporation’s voting shares required under applicable law to carry the proposal or, in the case of a nomination or nominations, a sufficient number of holders of the Corporation’s voting shares to elect such nominee or nominees (an affirmative statement of such intent, a “Solicitation Notice”).

(d) Notwithstanding anything in the third sentence of Section 1.2(c) of these Bylaws to the contrary, in the event that the number of directors to be elected to the Board of Directors of the Corporation is increased and there is no public announcement naming all of the nominees for director or specifying the size of the increased Board of Directors made by the Corporation at least sixty (60) days prior to the Anniversary, a stockholder’s notice required by this Section 1.2 shall also be considered timely, but only with respect to nominees for any new positions created by such increase, if it shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which such public announcement is first made by the Corporation.

(e) Only such persons who are nominated in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.2 (with respect to an annual meeting) or Section 1.3 below (with respect to a special meeting) shall be eligible to serve as directors and only such business shall be conducted at an annual or special meeting of stockholders as shall have been brought before the meeting in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section 1.2 or Section 1.3 below, respectively. Except as otherwise provided by law, the chairman of the meeting shall have the power and duty to determine whether a nomination or any business proposed to be brought before the meeting was made, or proposed, as the case may be, in accordance with the procedures set forth in these Bylaws and, if any proposed nomination or business is not in compliance with these Bylaws, to declare that such defective proposal or nomination shall not be presented for stockholder action at the meeting and shall be disregarded.

2

(f) For purposes of these Bylaws, “public announcement” shall mean disclosure in a press release reported by the Dow Jones News Service, Associated Press or comparable national news service or in a document publicly filed by the Corporation with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to Section 13, 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act.

(g) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.2, in order to include information with respect to a stockholder proposal in the Corporation’s proxy statement and form of proxy for a stockholders’ meeting, stockholders must also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 1.2. Nothing in these Bylaws shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Section 1.3: Special Meetings.

(a) Special meetings of the stockholders of the Corporation may be called, for any purpose or purposes, by the Chairman of the Board of Directors. Special meetings may not be called by any other person or persons. Business transacted at any special meeting of the stockholders shall be limited to matters relating to the purpose or purposes stated in the notice of the meeting.

(b) Nominations of persons for election to the Board of Directors may be made at a special meeting of stockholders at which directors are to be elected pursuant to the Corporation’s notice of meeting (i) by or at the direction of the Board of Directors or (ii) by any stockholder of the Corporation who is a stockholder of record at the time of giving notice provided for in these Bylaws who shall be entitled to vote at the meeting and who complies with the notice procedures set forth in Section 1.2 of these Bylaws. For nominations by stockholders of persons for election to such position(s) as specified in the Corporation’s notice of meeting to be eligible for consideration at the meeting, the stockholder’s notice required by Section 1.2(c) of these Bylaws must be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive offices of the Corporation not later than the close of business on the later of the ninetieth (90^th) day prior to such special meeting or the tenth (10^th) day following the day on which public announcement is first made of the date of the special meeting and of the nominees proposed by the Board of Directors to be elected at such meeting. In no event shall the public announcement of an adjournment of a special meeting commence a new time period for the giving of a stockholder’s notice as described above.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 1.3, a stockholder shall also comply with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder with respect to matters set forth in this Section 1.3. Nothing in this Section 1.3 shall be deemed to affect any rights of stockholders to request inclusion of proposals in the Corporation’s proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act.

Section 1.4: Notice of Meetings. Except as otherwise required herein or provided by law, notice of each meeting of stockholders shall be given not less than ten (10) nor more than sixty (60) days before the date of the meeting to each stockholder entitled to vote at such meeting. Without limiting the manner by which notice otherwise may be given to stockholders, any notice shall be effective if given by a form of electronic transmission consented to, in a manner consistent with Delaware law, by the stockholder to whom the notice is given. Notices of all meetings of stockholders shall state the place, if any, date and time of the meeting and the means of remote communication, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such meeting. The notice of a special meeting of stockholders shall state, in addition, the purpose or purposes for which the meeting is called.

Section 1.5: Quorum and Required Vote.

(a) At all meetings of stockholders, except where otherwise provided by statute, the Corporation’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation (“Certificate of Incorporation”) or these Bylaws, the presence, in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the meeting shall constitute a quorum for the

3

transaction of business. In the absence of a quorum, the chairman of the meeting may adjourn the meeting to another place, if any, date or time. The stockholders present at a duly called or convened meeting, at which a quorum is present, may continue to transact business until adjournment, notwithstanding the withdrawal of enough stockholders to leave less than a quorum.

(b) Except as otherwise provided by statute or by applicable stock exchange or Nasdaq rules, or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, in all matters other than the election of directors, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares entitled to be cast on the matter, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting for or against the matter shall be the act of the stockholders.

(c) Except as otherwise provided by statute, the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a nominee for director shall be elected by the majority of the votes cast of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting at any meeting for the election of directors at which a quorum is present; provided, however, that, a nominee for director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast of the shares present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote generally on the election of directors if (i) the Secretary of the Corporation receives a notice that a stockholder has nominated a person for election to the Board of Directors in compliance with the advance notice requirements for stockholder nominees for directors set forth in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 of these Bylaws, and (ii) such nomination has not been withdrawn by such stockholder on or prior to the tenth day preceding the date on which the Corporation first mails its notice of meeting for such meeting to the stockholders. For purposes of the election of directors, a “majority of the votes cast” means that the number of shares voted “for” a director must exceed the number of votes cast “against” that director (a “Majority Vote”). If directors are to be elected by a plurality of the votes cast, stockholders shall not be permitted to vote against a nominee. Where a separate vote by a class or classes or series is required, except where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, a majority of the outstanding shares of such class or classes or series, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy shall constitute a quorum entitled to take action with respect to that vote on that matter. Except as described above with respect to the election of directors, or where otherwise provided by statute or by the Certificate of Incorporation or these Bylaws, the affirmative vote of the majority of shares of such class or classes or series entitled to be cast on the matter, present in person, by remote communication, if applicable, or represented by proxy at the meeting and voting for or against the matter shall be the act of such class or classes or series.

(d) If a director fails to receive a Majority Vote in an election in which directors are required to be elected by the majority of the votes cast, the Nominating and Governance Committee of the Board of Directors will consider whether the director has, in accordance with the Corporation’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, previously submitted an irrevocable resignation contingent upon (i) his or her failure to receive a Majority Vote and (ii) acceptance by the Board of Directors of such resignation and, if so, will recommend to the Board of Directors whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. The Board of Directors will act on the Committee’s recommendation within 90 days from the date of the certification of the election results and will publicly disclose its decision promptly thereafter.

Section 1.6: Adjournment and Notice of Adjourned Meetings. Any meeting of stockholders, whether annual or special, may be adjourned from time to time by the chairman of the meeting. When a meeting is adjourned to another time or place, if any, notice need not be given of the adjourned meeting if the time and place, if any, thereof are announced at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken. At the adjourned meeting, the Corporation may transact any business which might have been transacted at the original meeting. If the adjournment is for more than thirty (30) days or if a new record date is fixed for the adjourned meeting, a notice of the place, if any, date and time of the adjourned meeting and the means of remote communications, if any, by which stockholders and proxyholders may be deemed to be present in person and vote at such adjourned meeting, shall be given to each stockholder of record entitled to vote at the meeting.

4

Section 1.7: Organization.

(a) Meetings of stockholders shall be presided over by such person as the Board of Directors may designate, or, in the absence of such person, the Chairman of the Board, or in his or her absence, the President of the Corporation, or in his or her absence, such person as may be chosen by the holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote who are present, in person or by proxy, at the meeting. Such person shall be chairman of the meeting. The Secretary of the Corporation shall act as secretary of the meeting, but in his or her absence the chairman of the meeting may appoint any person to act as secretary of the meeting.

(b) The Board of Directors shall be entitled to make such rules or regulations for the conduct of meetings of stockholders as it shall deem necessary, appropriate or convenient. Subject to such rules and regulations of the Board of Directors, if any, the chairman of the meeting shall have the right and authority to prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all such acts as, in the judgment of such chairman, are necessary, appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting, including, without limitation, establishing an agenda or order of business for the meeting, rules and procedures for maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those present, limitations on participation in such meeting to stockholders of record of the Corporation and their duly authorized and constituted proxies and such other persons as the chairman shall permit, restrictions on entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement thereof, limitations on the time allotted to questions or comments by participants and regulation of the opening and closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be voted on by ballot.

Section 1.8: Voting; Proxies. For the purpose of determining those stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of the stockholders, except as otherwise provided by law, only persons in whose names shares stand on the stock records of the Corporation on the record date, as provided in Section 1.10 of these Bylaws, shall be entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders. Unless otherwise provided by law or the Certificate of Incorporation, each stockholder shall be entitled to one (1) vote for each share of stock held by such stockholder. Each stockholder entitled to vote at a meeting of stockholders may do so in person or by remote communication if applicable, or may authorize another person or persons to act for such stockholder by proxy. Such proxy may be prepared, transmitted and delivered in any manner permitted by applicable law, including electronic transmission. Any copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reliable reproduction of the writing or transmission created pursuant to this Section 1.8 may be substituted or used in lieu of the original writing or transmission for any and all purposes for which the original writing or transmission could be used, provided that such copy, facsimile telecommunication or other reproduction shall be a complete reproduction of the entire original writing or transmission. Voting at any meeting of stockholders need not be by written ballot unless such is demanded at the meeting before voting begins by any stockholder or by such stockholder’s proxy. If a vote is to be taken by written ballot, then each such ballot shall state the name of the stockholder or proxy voting and such other information as the chairman of the meeting deems appropriate, and the ballots shall be counted by one or more inspectors appointed pursuant to Section 1.11 of these Bylaws.

Section 1.9: Fixing Date for Determination of Stockholders of Record. In order that the Corporation may determine the stockholders entitled to notice of or to vote at any meeting of stockholders or any adjournment thereof, or entitled to receive payment of any dividend or other distribution or allotment of any rights, or entitled to exercise any rights in respect of any change, conversion or exchange of stock or for the purpose of any other lawful action, the Board of Directors may fix, in advance, a record date, which shall not precede the date upon which the resolution fixing the record date is adopted by the Board of Directors and which shall not be more than sixty (60) nor less than ten (10) days before the date of such meeting, nor more than sixty (60) days prior to any other action. If no record date is fixed by the Board of Directors, then the record date shall be as provided by applicable law. A determination of stockholders of record entitled to notice of or to vote at a meeting of stockholders shall apply to any adjournment of the meeting; provided, however, that the Board of Directors may fix a new record date for the adjourned meeting.

Section 1.10: List of Stockholders Entitled to Vote. A complete list of stockholders entitled to vote at any meeting of stockholders, arranged in alphabetical order and showing the address of each

5

stockholder and the number of shares registered in the name of each stockholder, shall be open to the examination of any stockholder, for any purpose germane to the meeting for a period of at least ten (10) days prior to the meeting, (i) on a reasonably accessible electronic network, provided that information to gain access to such list is provided with the notice of the meeting or (ii) during ordinary business hours, at the principal place of business of the Corporation. The list shall also be produced and kept at the time and place of the meeting during the whole time thereof and may be inspected by any stockholder who is present at the meeting. This list shall presumptively determine the identity of the stockholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of shares held by each of them.

Section 1.11: Inspector(s) of Elections. In advance of any meeting of stockholders, the Board of Directors may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more Inspector(s) to act at such meeting or any adjournment thereof and make a written report thereof. If Inspector(s) are not so appointed or if the person(s) so appointed fail to appear or act, the person presiding at such meeting may, and to the extent required by law, shall, appoint one or more Inspector(s). Each Inspector, before entering upon the discharge of his or her duties, shall take and sign an oath faithfully to execute the duties of inspector at such meeting with strict impartiality and according to the best of his or her ability. Such duties may include, but need not be limited to (i) determining the number of shares outstanding and the voting power of each, (ii) determining the shares represented at the meeting, the existence of a quorum and the validity and effect of proxies, (iii) receiving votes, ballots and consents, (iv) hearing and determining all challenges and questions arising in connection with the right to vote, (v) counting and tabulating all votes, ballots or consents, (vi) determining the results of elections and votes, (vii) retaining for a reasonable period a record of the disposition of any challenges made to any determination by the Inspector(s), and (viii) doing such acts as are proper to conduct the election or vote with fairness to all stockholders. On request of the person presiding at the meeting or any stockholder entitled to vote thereon, the Inspector(s) shall make a report in writing of any challenge, question or matter determined by them and execute a certificate of any fact found by them. Any report or certificate made by them shall be prima facie evidence of the facts stated and of the votes as certified by them.

ARTICLE II

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Section 2.1: Number; Qualifications. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of preferred stock to elect directors under specified circumstances, the number of directors shall be fixed from time to time exclusively by resolution of the Board of Directors. Directors need not be stockholders of the Corporation.

stockholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise.
