Electronic Arts Inc said on Monday that Chief Financial Officer Warren Jenson will leave the video game publisher, which is pursuing a hostile takeover of rival Take-Two Interactive Software Inc.
Electronic Arts did not give details on the reasons for his departure, but said Jenson will stay on board to help the company close its fiscal year and financial reporting. A replacement will be named shortly, it said.
Jenson has served as CFO since 2002 and helped shepherd the company through a U.S. regulatory probe of the company’s stock option grant accounting. The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ended its inquiry into the company’s options practices in November, with no enforcement action taken.
Jenson said in a statement that it was “time for me to write the next chapter in my career.”
