Mar 23, 2026 6:54 AM

09:17 AM EDT, 03/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- JPMorgan Chase ( JPM ) and other lenders increased a US dollar loan tied to the buyout of Electronic Arts ( EA ) to $5 billion, up $1 billion, while trimming other secured dollar debt to about $3.75 billion, Bloomberg reported, citing a person familiar with the matter.

The changes come as banks adjust leveraged buyout financing structures amid volatile credit markets, the report said. Investor demand for roughly $15 billion in loans and bonds linked to the deal had reached about $25 billion as of Friday, it added.

The acquisition is led by Silver Lake Management, Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia, and Affinity Partners, run by President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, according to Bloomberg. The transaction values the game publisher at nearly $55 billion, it said.
