Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 20, 2012, Spansion LLC ("Spansion"), a wholly owned subsidiary of Spansion Inc. (the "Company") received notice from Prometheus Real Estate Group, Inc. ("Prometheus") that Prometheus exercised its option to purchase certain real property of the Company consisting of approximately 24.5 acres of land with approximately 471,000 square feet of buildings that include the Company's headquarters building and submicron development center, a Pacific Gas & Electric transmission facility and a warehouse building (collectively, the "Property"). The Property is part of a Superfund site.
Spansion and Prometheus entered into an Option Agreement for the Purchase and Sale of Real Property and Escrow Instructions (the "Agreement") relating to the Property on September 20, 2011. Pursuant to the Agreement, Spansion granted Prometheus an exclusive option to purchase the Property "as is" for a purchase price of $65 million. Upon the exercise, the provisions of the Agreement pertaining to the sale of the Property by Spansion to Prometheus apply.
Prometheus' purchase of the Property remains subject to certain closing conditions, and the closing date of the purchase, should it proceed, may not occur until as late as May 2013. Upon the completion of the purchase, the Agreement provides that Prometheus shall enter into a lease with Spansion following the closing of the sale of the Property to provide time for Spansion to transition to other facilities. The first six months of any such lease will be rent free.
The preceding description of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Agreement, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2012.
