Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On August 13, 2015, Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) executed an expansion notice (the “Expansion Notice”) pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Company’s lease dated May 28, 2015 with Santa Clara Campus Property Owner I LLC (“Landlord”) relating to Building F and the Amenities Building (the “Lease”). Pursuant to the Expansion Notice, the Company exercised its option under the Lease, subject to certain terms and conditions precedent, to induce Landlord to construct and lease to the Company an approximately 300,000 rentable square foot building identified as Building G (“Building G”) and certain parking spaces attendant to Building G located on land bordered by Tannery Way, Lakeside Drive, Scott Boulevard and Garrett Drive in Santa Clara, California. The Expansion Notice requires that (i) Landlord obtain the consent of its existing lender (“Lender”) for the transactions contemplated in the Expansion Notice and (ii) the Company and Landlord enter into a lease for Building G (the “Building G Lease”) within 48 days from the date that Landlord receives consent from Lender. The Expansion Notice and the obligations of Landlord and the Company to enter into the Building G Lease are conditioned upon the consent of Lender.

The term of the Building G Lease will continue for approximately 124 months commencing approximately nine (9) months following substantial completion of the core and shell of Building G. The base monthly rent for the first twenty-eight (28) months of the Building G Lease term shall be abated in its entirety. After such time, the Company is required to pay base monthly rent under the Building G Lease in amounts per rentable square foot consistent with the rental rates paid under the Lease. In addition, under the Building G Lease, Landlord must construct the building cores and shells at Landlord’s cost and expense and provide the Company with a tenant improvement allowance in amounts of up to $60.00 per rentable square foot of the premises for the construction of the initial improvements required by the Company.

The foregoing description of the Building G Lease does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full texts of the Lease and the Building G Lease, each of which shall be filed in the future with the appropriate periodic report.
