Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On
August
30, 2005, we entered into an agreement to purchase an 86,000 square foot
facility (the “Facility”) near our current administrative and manufacturing
facilities in Eden Prairie, Minnesota. The purchase price of the Facility
is
$5.1 million, which we will pay in cash. We intend to occupy approximately
30,000 square feet over the next four months as existing tenant leases expire.
We expect the remainder of the Facility to become available over the next
two
years. We anticipate using the Facility for manufacturing and new product
development activities as well as administrative offices. We expect to close
on
the purchase within the next 60 days.
The
press
release announcing the contract to purchase the Facility is appended hereto
as
Exhibit 99.1.
Item
