The company entered a partnership with the university for development of products.

难句分析：The Saudis’ partners in the EA acquisition are Silver Lake, a private-equity firm, and Affintiy partners, an investment company founded by Jared Kushner, Donald Trump’s son-in-law, whose attachment to the deal may smooth the path to regulatory approval.

In the EA acquisition 是介词短语，限制partners；whose attachment whose指Kushner，attachment 关联的意思

在EA收购的沙特合作伙是银湖-一家私募股权公司和Affintiy-一家由Kushner创建的投资公司，Kushner是特朗普女婿，该交易中因为他的关联让审批通过变得顺利。
