| 2024-02-07 | DIS | Per the same release, the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals — hence classified commitment at announcement.

| 2022-04-11 | SONY | $1B tranche, primary: Epic's own announcement of the $2B round — Sony and KIRKBI "each party investing $1 billion respectively"; "Epic's post-money equity valuation is $31.5 billion." | epicgames.com ↗ |
| 2021-04-13 | SONY | $200M tranche (secondary for the amount): "Epic just announced another $1 billion funding round, featuring a $200 million Sony Group Corporation investment" at a $28.7B equity valuation. | techcrunch.com ↗ |
| 2020-07-09 | SONY | $250M tranche, filing-grade: Sony 6-K furnishing the announcement — "Sony has agreed to make a strategic investment of $250 million to acquire a minority interest in Epic through a wholly-owned subsidiary of Sony." Mirrored by Sony's own release (sony.com/en/SonyInfo/News/Press/202007/20-0710E/). | sec.gov ↗ |
| 2013-03-21 | 0700.HK | Sweeney confirmed to Polygon: "As part of the investment, two Tencent representatives joined Epic's board of directors, in addition to the three directors and two observers appointed by Epic."
