Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On December 29, 2016, Cardiovascular Systems, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement (the “Sale Agreement”) with Krishna Holdings, LLC (“Buyer”), providing for the sale to Buyer of the Company’s headquarters facility in St. Paul, Minnesota (the “Facility”), for an aggregate cash purchase price of $22.0 million.

Under the Sale Agreement, the Company has agreed, concurrently with the closing of the sale of the Facility, to enter into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Buyer or an affiliate of Buyer, pursuant to which the Company will lease the Facility. The Lease Agreement will have an initial term of fifteen years, with four consecutive renewal options of five years each, with a base annual rent in the first year of $1,637,500 and annual escalations of 3%.

The closing of the sale of the Facility under the Sale Agreement is subject to completion of due diligence by Buyer and certain customary closing conditions.

The foregoing description of the material terms of the Sale Agreement and the Lease Agreement does not purport to be a complete description of such agreements and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Sale Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended December 31, 2016.
