ITEM 2.01.

Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets

On September 13, 2016, WD-40 Company (the “Company”) completed its previously announced acquisition of real property pursuant to the Purchase and Sale Agreement and Escrow Instructions (the “Agreement”) dated July 29, 2016, by and between the Company and 9715 Businesspark Avenue LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Seller”). The acquired property consists of 2.23 acres of land and a building comprising of approximately 41,500 square feet of office space located at 9715 Businesspark Avenue, San Diego, California (the “Property”).  The Property was acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $10.7 million. The Company intends to use the Property for its headquarters office, replacing its current Company-owned headquarters located at 1061 Cudahy Place, San Diego, California which houses both corporate employees and employees in the Company’s Americas segment. 



As previously announced, following the relocation to the new building, the Company will continue to utilize the facility at 1061 Cudahy Place, San Diego, California for an indeterminate period of time to manufacture concentrate for its WD-40® products and to house its data center. The Company will also terminate leases and vacate its leased office space at 1094 Cudahy Place, San Diego, California upon relocation of office personnel to the Property following completion of office improvements. It is anticipated that office improvements will be completed within eight to twelve months from the date of acquisition. The Company expects to incur approximately $4.5 million in capital costs related to the buildout of the acquired building and for the purchase of new furniture, fixtures and equipment. 



The Company utilized its existing unsecured $175.0 million revolving credit facility with Bank of America, N.A. in order to fund the purchase of the Property. The Company also expects to utilize the revolving credit facility in order to fund the cost of improvements and for the purchase of other capital items associated with the office relocation.
