Subsequent Events [Abstract]
Subsequent Events	Subsequent events The Acquisition On November 2, 2015, we and King Digital Entertainment plc, a leading interactive mobile entertainment company incorporated under the laws of Ireland (“King”), entered into a Transaction Agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) under the terms of which we will acquire King (the “Acquisition”) and King will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. At the effective time of the Acquisition, King shareholders will become entitled to receive $18.00 in cash in exchange for each King share they then hold. We expect to transfer approximately $5.9 billion in consideration to the existing King shareholders and share based award holders through a combination of the net proceeds from $2.3 billion of committed incremental term loans, our offshore cash, and approximately $200 million of our share based awards for the replacement of share based awards held by current employees and directors of King. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by King’s shareholders, Irish High Court sanctioning, as well as certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by Spring of calendar year 2016. Amendment to Credit Agreement In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2013. The Amendment, among other things, provides for Incremental Term Loans in the form of Tranche B-2 Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.3 billion. The proceeds of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be used to fund the Acquisition. The Tranche B-2 Term Loans will mature on the date that is seven years and six months after the date of the initial funding of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans and will bear interest, at an annual rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at our option, (A) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the interest rate in effect determined by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (c) the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, or (B) LIBOR. LIBOR borrowings under the Tranche B-2 Term Loan will be subject to a LIBOR floor of 0.75% and base rate will be subject to a floor of 1.75%. The applicable interest margin for Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be 3.00% for LIBOR borrowings and 2.00% for base rate borrowings. Voluntary prepayments of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans are permitted at any time, in minimum principal amounts, without premium or penalty, subject to a 1.00% premium payable in connection with certain repricing transactions within the first six months after the date of the initial funding of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans. The Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be secured by the same collateral and guaranteed by the same guarantors as the existing Term Loan. The other terms of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans are also generally the same as the terms of the existing Term Loan. Commitment Letter In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company also entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with Bank of America, N.A. and Goldman Sachs Bank USA (the “Debt Financing Sources”). Pursuant to the Commitment Letter, subject to customary conditions, the Debt Financing Sources committed to provide the Company with the Tranche B-2 Term Loans on such modified terms as set forth therein (Tranche B-2 Term Loans as so modified, the “Tranche A Term Loans”) in the same aggregate principal amount and for the same purpose as the original Tranche B-2 Term Loans. The Tranche A Term Loans will be effected via, and subject to the passing of, a second amendment to the Credit Agreement and will mature on October 11, 2020. Cash Confirmation Under the Irish Takeover Rules, no financing condition to the Acquisition is permitted. As is customary, we have executed and delivered a cash confirmation representation letter to our financial advisor, in which we have given various representations, warranties and undertakings in relation to the sources and availability of the funding. In conjunction with the representation letter the Company has segregated $3.56 billion in cash in separate bank accounts, where the cash is not accessible to the Company for operating cash needs, as its use has been administratively restricted for use in the consummation of the Acquisition.

The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including the approval by King’s shareholders, Irish High Court sanctioning, as well as certain regulatory approvals, and is expected to close by Spring of calendar year 2016.

In conjunction with the Acquisition, the Company entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”), which amends the Credit Agreement, dated as of October 11, 2013. The Amendment, among other things, provides for Incremental Term Loans in the form of Tranche B-2 Term Loans in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $2.3 billion. The proceeds of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans will be used to fund the Acquisition.

The Tranche B-2 Term Loans will mature on the date that is seven years and six months after the date of the initial funding of the Tranche B-2 Term Loans and will bear interest, at an annual rate equal to an applicable interest margin plus, at our option, (A) a base rate determined by reference to the highest of (a) the interest rate in effect determined by the administrative agent as its “prime rate,” (b) the federal funds rate plus 0.5%, and (c) the London InterBank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) rate for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, or (B) LIBOR.
