On November 1, 2012 (the “Effective Date”), following the closing of the sale of certain assets disclosed in Item 2.01 below, Electronics For Imaging, Inc. (the “Company” or “EFI”) entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Gilead Sciences, Inc. (“Gilead”) for approximately 201,085 square feet of commercial office space (the “Rented Space”) within the building located at 303 Velocity Way, in Foster City, California (the “Building”). The Building currently serves as EFI’s headquarters and is included in the sale of real estate assets to Gilead, which closed on November 1, 2012, as disclosed in Item 2.01 below. Under the Lease Agreement, EFI will occupy the Rented Space within the Building on a rent-free and operating expense-free basis for a period of up to one year (the “Lease Term”) from the Effective Date. The Company is required to vacate portions of the Rented Space within specified time periods prior to the expiration of the Lease Term. If EFI fails to comply with these obligations, the Company will be required to pay penalty fees on these premises, applicable retroactively for the specified time periods.

The foregoing description of the Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Lease Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the period ending December 31, 2012.

On November 1, 2012, EFI terminated its synthetic lease arrangement with Société Générale Financial Corporation related to the building located at 303 Velocity Way in Foster City, California. Under the agreements governing the arrangement (the “Synthetic Lease Agreement”), EFI had the option to purchase the facility for $56.9 million, representing the amount financed under the lease. On November 1, 2012, EFI exercised this option, paid the purchase price, and terminated all agreements relating to the synthetic lease arrangement, other than certain surviving indemnity obligations. The real property that was subject to the synthetic lease arrangement is included in the sale of real estate assets to Gilead, which closed on November 1, 2012.

The foregoing description of the synthetic lease arrangement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, the full text of the Synthetic Lease Agreement, filed as exhibit 10.1 to EFI’s Current Report on Form 8-K dated September 30, 2004, which is incorporated herein by reference.

On November 1, 2012, EFI closed the previously announced sale of certain real property and improvements and certain other assets to Gilead, for a total purchase price of approximately $180 million. The purchase price was paid to the Company in cash at the closing. The property sold included approximately four acres of land, the 294,000 square foot office building located at 303 Velocity Way, Foster City, California, and certain other assets related to the property. In connection with the closing, EFI entered into a Lease Agreement with Gilead providing for a lease of a portion of the office building, as disclosed in Item 1.01 above.
