TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On October 31, 2006, F5 Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Office Lease Agreement (the
“Agreement”) with Selig Real Estate Holdings XXV, L.L.C., pursuant to which the Company will lease
a total of approximately 137,201 square feet of office space in the building known as 333 Elliott
West (the “Leased Premises”). The Company intends to use the Leased Premises, which are located
next to the three buildings that currently serve as the Company’s corporate headquarters, for
general office space. The lease term on the Leased Premises is 10 years, and the Company intends
to occupy this new building by fiscal Q2 2008 after construction has been completed. The Company
has the option to extend the term of the lease for the Leased Premises for either (a) two terms,
each for an additional five year period, or (b) one term, for an additional ten year period. The
Company also has a right of first offer to purchase the Leased Premises and the real property on
which the Leased Premises is located.
The base annual rent for the Leased Premises will initially be approximately $3.43 million, none of
which is due until construction has been completed on the building and the Company has occupied the
property. The base annual rent will be increased on each anniversary of the lease commencement
date by an amount equal to $1.00 per rentable square foot. In addition to the base rent, the
Company will be responsible for payment of certain operating expenses, including utilities and real
estate taxes.
The foregoing summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by the Agreement attached to this
Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated herein by reference.
