07:41 AM EST, 11/11/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Goldman Sachs ( GS ) is set to collect a $110 million advisory fee for working on Electronic Arts' ( EA ) $55 billion take-private deal, the largest in the bank's history, the Financial Times reported Monday, citing a securities filing.

An investor group including Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, Silver Lake, and Jared Kushner's Affinity Partners has agreed to acquire EA at $210 per share, a 25% premium, with the deal reportedly expected to close in H1 of next year.

Goldman received $10 million when the deal was announced and will be paid the remaining $100 million at closing, after not earning advisory or underwriting fees from EA in the prior two years, the report said.

The filing also showed Goldman held about $1.3 million in PIF vehicles and $200 million in Silver Lake funds as of September, as well as how Silver Lake first approached EA's chief executive officer in March before PIF and Affinity joined the bidding group, the FT reported.

Goldman Sachs ( GS ) and Electronic Arts ( EA ) did not immediately respond to MT Newswires' request for comment.
