Electronic Arts (EA) is to be taken private under a $55bn (£41bn) buyout - a record sum for such a deal.
Under the terms, private equity firm Silver Lake Partners, Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) and Affinity Partners will pay the video game maker's shareholders $210 per share.
The sum represents a premium of 25% on EA's closing share price last Thursday, before the Wall Street Journal first reported that an announcement was close.
