Material Changes and Transaction Details
On June 15, 2020, Bandwidth Inc. signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement with the State of North Carolina. Key terms include:
- Asset: Approximately 40 acres of vacant land located at the southwest quadrant of Reedy Creek Road and Edwards Mill Road in Raleigh, NC.
- Conditions: The agreement is subject to due diligence, approvals, and other customary closing conditions.
- Parking Improvements: Bandwidth will build parking facilities on State-owned adjoining land under a short-term ground lease. Upon completion, the State will assume ownership of these improvements.
- State Fair Usage: If covered parking is constructed, Bandwidth will allow the State to use the facilities during the annual eleven-day State Fair period.
Guidance, Outlook, and Risks
Strategic Intent: Bandwidth anticipates it may assign its rights and obligations under the agreement to a third-party real estate developer. If assigned, Bandwidth intends to concurrently enter into a lease for one or more buildings to be constructed on the land by that developer.
Risks and Contingencies:
- The transaction is not final and is contingent upon due diligence and approvals.
- Forward-looking statements regarding the assignment of rights and future leasing arrangements are subject to uncertainty.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify the status of due diligence and regulatory approvals required to close the $30 million land purchase.
- Confirm whether Bandwidth intends to retain the land for its own use or assign the rights to a third-party developer.
- Review the attached Purchase and Sale Agreement (Exhibit 10.1) for specific closing conditions and termination rights.
- Assess the impact of the parking improvement costs and the ground lease terms on future capital expenditures.
