Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 2, 2012, Zynga Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase its corporate headquarters located in San Francisco, California for $228 million from 650 Townsend Associates LLC (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire (i) the building located at 650 Townsend Street, San Francisco, California consisting of approximately six hundred seventy thousand square feet of space, (ii) fee title to the real property where the building is located, (iii) personal property located in the building which is owned by the Seller and used in the operation and maintenance of the building and (iv) leases and other intangible property related to the building and real property. The Company has deposited $25 million in escrow in connection with the pending transaction. The deposit may be retained by the Seller if applicable closing conditions are satisfied and the Company fails to close the transaction. The Company expects to incur additional costs in connection with the transaction, including transfer taxes and brokerage fees. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the Company’s Office Lease with the Seller originally entered into on September 24, 2010 will either terminate or be assigned to an affiliate of the Company as of the closing of the transaction. Other than with respect to the Agreement and the Office Lease, there is no material relationship between the Company or any of its affiliates and the Seller.

The transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions and provides certain termination rights to the Company and the Seller. The Company currently expects to close the transaction in the second quarter of 2012 but there is no guarantee that the Company will close the transaction as scheduled or at all. The Company currently leases approximately 65% of the space in the building and the remaining space is leased by third party tenants or is vacant.

The foregoing description of the Agreement is a summary, is not complete, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 2.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
