On July 6, 2012, Pericom Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Agreement”) to purchase a building to serve as its new corporate headquarters located in Milpitas, California for $7.7 million from Barber Lane Investors, LLC (the “Seller”). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Company will acquire (i) the building located at 1545 Barber Lane, Milpitas, California consisting of approximately 85,040 square feet of space, (ii)  title to the real property of approximately 4.5 acres upon which 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 $500,000 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 other fees and expenses.

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 third quarter of 2012 but there is no guarantee that the Company will close the transaction as scheduled or at all.
