Bloomberg journalist Jason Schreier claims that the $20 billion loan taken out by EA for the deal to acquire private company status was issued by JPMorgan Bank at a high interest rate.
The $20 billion debt stipulated in the agreement with EA is expected to be rated B, that is, considered a "junk" loan, with a high risk, speculative and, as a rule, with high interest rates. The new EA will have to pay these loans.
Experts note that although such loans help to obtain the necessary amount urgently, they can lead to an unstable financial situation in the long term, and even worsen the situation.
