Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Electronic Arts (EA) CFO Stuart Canfield reported significant insider transactions on June 22, 2025. The transactions involved the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs) and subsequent share disposals:

  • Disposed of 1,581 shares at $150.56 per share to satisfy tax withholding requirements
