A group of investors including private-equity firm Silver Lake and Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund could unveil a deal for the publisher best known for its sports games as soon as next week, WSJ said.

Is there a way to get a list of the top company's involved? I'm curious who the owners would be. This implies it would mostly be Saudi Arabia, but it isn't clear.

Not sure why; being publicly traded and their valuation because of it is the only thing keeping them solvent.

That's good! There's now a slim chance they'll do better in the future
