Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On March 19, 2014, Electronic Arts Inc. (“EA”) posted a blog on its website at www.ea.com/news, which announced that the planned release dates for Titanfall, a game being developed by Respawn Entertainment and published by EA, has been delayed until April 8, 2014 in North America and April 11, 2014 in Europe for Microsoft’s Xbox 360 video game console. Based on current estimates, these planned release date changes will not affect our fourth quarter fiscal year 2014 non-GAAP guidance for revenues or earnings. A copy of the blog posting is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the information in the attached blog posting, contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. All statements, other than statements of historical fact, made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including statements made in the attached blog posting, are forward looking and subject to change. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements related to our future economic performance (including anticipated revenues and earnings) and our business plans and objectives (including our intended product releases and planned ship dates), which may include certain assumptions that underlie the forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are subject to business and economic risk and reflect management’s current expectations, and involve subjects that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Our actual results could differ materially from expected results expressed in forward-looking statements. We will not necessarily update information if any forward-looking statement later turns out to be inaccurate. Risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results include, but are not limited to, those discussed in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2013 as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 4, 2014, as well as in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2013 as filed with the SEC on May 22, 2013 and in other documents we have filed with the SEC.
Neither the information in this Current Report on Form 8-K nor the information in the attached blog posting shall be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
