Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 6, 2017, NVIDIA Land Development, LLC, or NVIDIA Land, a wholly-owned subsidiary of NVIDIA Corporation, or the Company, exercised its option under a Real Property Lease with Wachovia Service Corporation to terminate a Ground Lease and a Real Property Lease and purchase real property containing the Company’s new Santa Clara campus building at the intersection of Walsh Avenue and San Tomas Expressway in Santa Clara, California, or the Property, from Wachovia for approximately $350 million.
On June 19, 2015, NVIDIA Land entered into the Ground Lease, Real Property Lease, Participation Agreement, Agency Agreement and related documents with Wachovia; Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.; and a syndicate of other institutions, or collectively, the Participants, for the construction and lease of the Company’s new Santa Clara campus building. As part of the transaction, NVIDIA Land ground leased to Wachovia the Property and, in connection with construction of the Company’s new Santa Clara campus building, Wachovia leased the Property back to NVIDIA Land. Construction of the Company’s new Santa Clara campus building was substantially completed on October 31, 2017.
The purchase price approximates the sum of: repayment of the Participants’ investment in the Property, capitalized interest accrued during the construction period, any accrued but unpaid rent under the Real Property Lease, and the fees and expenses of the Participants incurred in connection with the purchase. Upon completing the purchase, the agreements referenced above and related documents will be terminated and NVIDIA Land will hold all right, title and interest in the Property, free and clear of any secured financing. NVIDIA Land has obtained a waiver from a majority of the Participants of the requirement to provide 90 days advance notice to exercise the purchase option. NVIDIA expects to complete the purchase and take title to the Property during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2018.
The descriptions of the agreements do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements as filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, as follows:
The Participation Agreement, the Agency Agreement and the Real Property Lease are filed as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with SEC on August 19, 2015;
The First Amendment to the Participation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 25, 2016;
The Second Amendment to the Participation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 22, 2016; and
The Third Amendment to the Participation Agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.34 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2017.
