Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 25, 2008, Tarrant County College District (“TCCD”) announced that it had purchased from Kan Am Grund Kapitalanlagegesellshaft mbH (“Kan Am”) the buildings and real property comprising RadioShack Corporation’s headquarters in Fort Worth, Texas (the “Headquarters”), which were previously sold to Kan Am and then leased for a period of 20 years by RadioShack in a sale and lease-back transaction in December 2005.

On June 25, 2008, RadioShack entered into an agreement with TCCD to convey certain real property located adjacent to the Headquarters; the oil, gas and other minerals in and under the Headquarters and the adjacent property; a parking easement on property located near the Headquarters; an option to purchase certain additional parcels of real property located near the Headquarters; certain contracts relating to the use and operation of the real property adjacent to and comprising the Headquarters; and certain personal property and equipment located within the Headquarters (excluding personal property and equipment relating to RadioShack’s business and operations).

In consideration of this conveyance, RadioShack and TCCD entered into an amended and restated lease for RadioShack’s continued use of a reduced portion of the Headquarters. The lease with TCCD allows RadioShack to remain in the approximately 400,000 square feet it currently occupies of the approximately 900,000 square foot Headquarters facility through June of 2011 with an option to remain in a further reduced portion of the Headquarters through June of 2013.

The foregoing is subject to, and qualified entirely by the terms of the purchase and sale agreement and the lease agreement attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2. The terms of the purchase and sale agreement and lease agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

On June 25, 2008, RadioShack issued a press release containing certain information with respect to this transaction. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
