Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 4, 2012, FEI Czech Republic s.r.o. (“FEI Czech Republic”), a subsidiary of FEI Company (the “Company” or “FEI”), entered into an Agreement on Future Lease Agreement and on Rights and Duties in Connection with Acquisition and Development of Land (the “Agreement”) with CTP Invest, spol. s.r.o. (“CTP”), for the development and lease of two buildings (D2.1 and D2.2) for a manufacturing, warehouse and multi-storage office facility located in the CTPark Brno II industrial complex in Brno, the Czech Republic (the “Property”). The Property will initially comprise approximately 270,000 square feet. FEI is the guarantor for FEI Czech Republic on the Agreement.

As part of the Agreement, FEI Czech Republic and CTP have negotiated the form of lease agreement for the Property, which is expected to commence on April 1, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”). The term of the Lease Agreement will be from April 1, 2014 through April 1, 2034. FEI Czech Republic has the option to terminate the Lease Agreement on April 1, 2024 and April 1, 2029. FEI Czech Republic has the option to renew the Lease Agreement for two additional five-year periods beginning April 1, 2034. The present value of the minimum lease commitment of 10 years using a 7% discount rate is approximately €14.2 million. The lease agreement permits payment in Czech Kourna or Euros at the option of the lessee.

FEI expects to begin operations in the new building in early 2014 with full operations by the end of that year. The Company expects to spend approximately $35 million, mainly in 2013, to fit-out the Property with clean rooms, equipment and office space.

Beginning April 1, 2019, FEI Czech Republic has the option to lease immediately adjoining manufacturing and warehouse space of approximately 131,000 square feet (D2.3) which will be constructed at the same time as buildings D2.1 and D2.2. FEI Czech Republic has first right of refusal on certain adjacent land plots or buildings to the Property in the CTPark Brno II industrial complex.

The Agreement is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the complete text of the Agreement filed herewith.
