JPMorgan’s $500M Fee on EA Buyout Sparks Scramble Among Global Banks

JPMorgan Chase is set to earn a massive $500 million in fees for underwriting $20 billion in debt financing for Electronic Arts’ record $55 billion buyout, led by Silver Lake, Affinity Partners, and Saudi Arabia’s PIF. This unprecedented debt commitment—the largest ever by a single bank for an LBO—is drawing interest from a global syndicate of lenders eager for a share. Banks will split the fee proportionally based on participation, with plans to sell down dual-currency leveraged loans and high-yield bonds by 2026. The move reflects Wall Street’s reassertion in mega-deal financing over private credit.
