Two of the 10b5-1 Plans relate to EA shares held in trust for Mr. Wilson’s descendants. Mr. Wilson retains investment control over the EA shares held in such trusts and sales under these two 10b5-1Plans may take place periodically from May 27, 2022 through December 1, 2022. One 10b5-1 Plan relates to EA shares held in Mr. Wilson’s family trust. Mr. Wilson retains investment control over, and pecuniary interest in, EA shares held in his family trust and sales under this 10b5-1 Plan may take place periodically from December 30, 2021 through December 1, 2022. Each of the 10b5-1 Plans accords with the guidelines of Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and with EA’s policies regarding stock transactions by directors, executive officers and other employees.
