CAPCOM, EA TEAM UP
February 16, 2001

Capcom Eurosoft and Electronics Arts today announced they have reached an agreement that names Electronic Arts as Capcom's European distributor. In the agreement, Electronic Arts will handle the distribution of Capcom's PlayStation 2 products, Street Fighter EX3, Onimusha: Warlords, and others, in all European territories outside the United Kingdom. The agreement does not affect Capcom's existing agreements with Titus/Virgin and Eidos, which currently handles the company's PlayStation and Sega Dreamcast products.

"Capcom is extremely pleased to be working with Electronic Arts as a distribution partner," said William Gardner, chairman, Capcom Eurosoft. "EA's significant resources, professional sales and management staff and their relationships in the territories, as well as their excellent reputation as a leading distributor in Europe, will assure Capcom's success throughout Europe."

David Gardner, Managing Director Europe for EA said, "Capcom is a leading publisher of content in interactive entertainment. I'm pleased that we are able to work together as they bring their considerable talent onto the next generation consoles. Capcom is well known for their quality over quantity approach and that makes us a natural fit. EA's distribution infrastructure can be leveraged to our mutual advantage. I look forward to playing our part in their continued growth and success."

The newly formed EA distribution department EAD will manage this relationship.
