EA has been looking at Popcap for a while now and it has now announced that it will acquire Popcap in a deal that is worth some very big money. EA is plunking down $650 million in cash and then giving up another $100 million in shares of EA common stock to complete the deal. Popcap sellers are also entitled to additional variable cash consideration depending on non-GAAP earnings through December 2013, which is EA's fiscal Q3.
