GEOFFREY PECOVER and ANDREW OWENS v. ELECTRONIC ARTS INC.
U.S. District Court (N.D. Cal. - Oakland Div.)
Case No. 08-cv-02820 CW

If You Purchased Certain Electronic Arts Brand Football Video Games
Between January 1, 2005 to the Present
You May Be a Class Member.
Membership as a class member in the Electronic Arts Litigation is the result
of a lawsuit filed in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of California,
Oakland Division (Case No. 08-cv-02820 CW).


What Is This Class Action About?
The class action lawsuit alleges violations of California's antitrust and
consumer protection laws in connection with the sale of certain football video
games. Plaintiffs, purchasers of Electronic Arts' football video games, claim
that Defendant Electronic Arts entered into a series of exclusive licenses
with the National Football League (NFL), National Football League Players'
Association (NFLPA), National Collegiate Athletics Association (NCAA), and
Arena Football League (AFL), which Plaintiffs claim foreclosed competition
in an alleged football video game market. Plaintiffs allege that this series
of exclusive licenses caused customers who purchased certain football video
games to be overcharged.

Defendant Electronic Arts has denied any liability and all
allegations of misconduct. The Court has not decided whether the
Defendants did anything wrong, and this Notice is not an expression of
any opinion by the Court about the merits of any of the claims or
defenses asserted by any party to this litigation.
