On September 27, 2018, Rubicon Technology BP LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Rubicon Technology, Inc. (“Rubicon”) completed the purchase of the property located at 900 East Green Street, Bensenville, Illinois, and the 30,500-square-foot manufacturing and office facility constructed upon such property (the “Property”) from WB PAD Holdings IV, LLC (the “Seller”), pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Agreement of Purchase (the “Agreement”).

 

The purchase price for the Property was approximately $2.3 million.

Going forward, the Property will be the Company’s sole operating facility and, effective October 1, 2018, will also be used for its fabrication operations. Recently, the Company’s lease payments were approximately $24,000 per month. The Company used its cash on hand to purchase the Property.
