Welcome to the Electronic Arts 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. My name is Jacob Schatz. I'm EA's General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. First, I would like to cover the agenda for today. We will start with the official business of the meeting. Blake Jorgensen, our COO and CFO, will give a short presentation followed by a Q&A session. During the Q&A session, please come up to the microphone at the front of the room to ask your questions. During this meeting, we may make forward-looking statements about future events or the future financial performance of the company. Actual events or results may differ materially. We refer you to the company's most recently filed Form 10-K for a discussion of risk factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those discussed today. I'll turn the meeting over to Andrew Wilson.

If you meet the voting requirements and have not yet voted, please vote now with Andrew Wilcox from Broadridge Financial Solutions, who has been appointed as Inspector of Elections. Mr. Wilcox is sitting at the proxy table in the back. He will hand you a ballot to vote on the matters to be considered at this meeting. A list of EA stockholders as of the record date, June 8th, 2018, has been available at the company's headquarters for the past 10 days and is available for examination by any stockholder present today or by any proxyholder representing a stockholder. A copy of the notice of this meeting and a declaration of the mailing to each stockholder of record as of the record date also is available for inspection.
I am advised by the Inspector of Elections that a total of 265,297,926, or over 86% of the outstanding shares eligible to vote, are present in person or by proxy. A quorum is present and the meeting is authorized to transact business. It is 2:03 P.M. and the polls are open. Proposal 1 is the election of the 9 members of the board for a term of 1 year. The board has nominated the following persons and recommends a vote for each nominee: Leonard Coleman, Blake Jorgensen, Jeffrey Huber, Lawrence Probst, Talbott Roche, Richard Simonson, Luis Ubiñas, Heidi Ueberroth, and Andrew Wilson. Proposal 2 is an advisory vote on the compensation of the company's named executive officers.
Proposal 3 is the ratification of the appointment of KPMG as the company's independent public registered accountant for fiscal year 2019. The Board of Directors recommends a vote for each of Proposals 2 and 3. If you have already voted by proxy, you do not need to cast a ballot unless you wish to change your vote. The proxy holders will vote your shares as indicated on your proxy. If anyone has requested to vote by ballot, please mark your ballots now and give them to the Inspector of Elections. It is now 2:05 P.M. The polls for voting are now closed, and no further proxies or ballots may be accepted. I have been advised by the Inspector of Elections that over 86% of the shares outstanding were voted by proxy and counted prior to the meeting.
A majority of the votes cast, either in person or by proxy, has been voted for each of the 9 nominees for director and for Proposals 2 and 3. This now concludes the formal business of the meeting. I declare the 2018 Annual Meeting of Stockholders adjourned. We now will move on to a short presentation by Blake Jorgensen, followed by a Q&A period. Blake.
All I need is right here. All I need is right here. All I need is right here in front of me. No time like now. You see the time, no time, get up. Watch me march to the dance. Told my mama I'm a fight when I get there. No time like now. You see the time, know you gotta get up. No time for the devil with the details. Going all the way, oh
Wow, I get more excited every time I see that. Welcome to the Stockholders Meeting. We have a couple of stockholders in the room, but I am sure listening in, many more stockholders. I appreciate stockholders who visit us each year. Some have been here many years, and this is new, but thank you for coming, and I get the chance to see the management team and the board, which is one of the greatest teams I have worked with, management team and an unbelievable board to work with. Let me talk a little bit about the business, and then we will answer any questions. What I would say before I jump into the numbers is what you just saw were little snippets of what is to come for this year. Today, Madden. Fantastic. It looks better every year, and this year it probably looks better than it ever has looked before.
Second, we saw some FIFA. This year we have the Champions League. We have not had the Champions League for over 10 years, and now we have the Champions League back in. We have all the most important leagues, and it is the reason why FIFA remains the largest and most engaged video game in the world. Third, we have some real excitement around Battlefield coming in October, and then next February, one of the first and biggest IPs we have had in years, Anthem from our BioWare studios. You got to see a little bit of that there. Much more to come on all those games as well of all of our other exciting games like NBA and Hockey and everything great coming from EA, both small and large. You are going to find it to be an exciting year.
We have continued the great performance that we have seen over the last five years, and we think this will be another great year. As you can see, we have had pretty consistent net revenue growth, net bookings growth, and most importantly to shareholders, operating cash flow. This allowed us to build a very strong base of capital in the company. We have over $5 billion in cash. With the new tax laws in place, we have full access to all that cash that has sat offshore. We continue to believe that we will have operating cash flow generation opportunities. We see this as one of the greatest industries to be in now.
It is unbelievable with what is going on in entertainment, the opportunity to stretch that entertainment broader and broader to people through mobile, through PC, and through console, and eventually through streaming to people's devices or TVs without the need of a console or a PC. That will continue to open up gaming to a much, much broader audience. There is very few industries, I think, that are going through the transformation that we are going through that are as exciting as they are today. We are going to continue to see more and more digital business. Our business today is 68% digital, but only 40% of our games are being purchased up front digitally. There is still a long ways to go in the digital transformation, which continues to help us improve our profitability.
A great opportunity for us and a great way for us to move forward into the future and increase the profitability of the business. I think all of you know the franchises that we have. We're continuing to add franchises and continuing to build off of the strength of our sports franchises and our Battlefield and other franchises within the organization. Today, we are now in the midst of starting to really drive our subscription business. We have a subscription business on Microsoft's Xbox, EA Access, and we also have a similar subscription business inside of Origin Access. Two days ago, we started what's called Origin Access Premier, where if you subscribe, you not only get all of the games that we have in our catalog, but you get the games that are coming out before they even come out to the public.
Madden's been in that subscription already for three days. People have been able to play it and FIFA will come out, Battlefield, and Anthem will all get a chance to come out on PC in that subscription business. For $15 a month or $99 a year, you have access to all of our games in a subscription. We believe, just like most media has evolved, subscriptions plus streaming will be the future of the business. With that, I'll take any questions that you have. I've lost the audience once again. Well, thank you very much for coming. I appreciate it, and we appreciate you as shareholders, and we look forward to seeing you again next year.
