On March 30, 2006, Silicon Laboratories Inc. (“Silicon Laboratories”), as the lessee, and BAL Investment & Advisory, Inc., as the lessor, entered into a Lease, Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the “400 WCC Lease Agreement”) for a facility at 400 W. Cesar Chavez (“400 WCC”) in Austin, Texas for its corporate headquarters. On March 14, 2008, Silicon Laboratories, as the lessee, and BA Leasing BSC, LLC, as the lessor, entered into a Lease, Deed of Trust and Security Agreement (the “200 WCC Lease Agreement”) for a facility at 200 W. Cesar Chavez (“200 WCC”) in Austin, Texas for the expansion of its corporate headquarters. The 400 WCC Lease Agreement and the 200 WCC Lease Agreement (collectively, the “Lease Agreements”), provided Silicon Laboratories with options to purchase 400 WCC for approximately $44.3 million and 200 WCC for $50.1 million, respectively. On September 28, 2012, Silicon Laboratories exercised such options and purchased the facilities at 400 WCC and 200 WCC.

 

The foregoing descriptions are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the 400 WCC Lease Agreement (filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on April 5, 2006) and the 200 WCC Lease Agreement (filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on March 19, 2008).

The Credit Agreement consists of a $100 million term loan facility (the “Term Loan Facility”) and a $130 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). In order to borrow under the Term Loan Facility, Silicon Laboratories was required to pay off its remaining obligations under the Lease Agreements (which occurred on September 28, 2012).

 

On September 27, 2012, Silicon Laboratories borrowed the $100 million under the Term Loan Facility.

 

The foregoing descriptions are subject to, and qualified in their entirety by, the Credit Agreement (filed as Exhibits 10.1 to the Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 1, 2012).
