Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 3, 2012, Emergent BioSolutions Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a third amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to its lease agreement dated June 27, 2006 with Brandywine Research LLC (“Brandywine”). Currently, the Company leases approximately 33,000 square feet of space under its lease agreement with Brandywine (as previously amended, the “Lease”) at 2273 Research Boulevard, Rockville, Maryland, the location of the Company’s headquarters. The Lease Amendment expands the leased premises to include approximately 8,000 square feet of additional space (the “Expansion Premises”). The term of the Company’s Lease remains unchanged and will expire on December 31, 2016.
Under the terms of the Lease Amendment, the Company’s obligation to pay rent for the Expansion Premises is waived for a period of approximately six months. Thereafter, the Company’s monthly basic rent for the Expansion Premises is as follows: $18,245 from September 1, 2012 until February 28, 2013, $18,745 from March 1, 2013 until February 28, 2014, $19,266 from March 1, 2014 until February 28, 2015, $19,793 from March 1, 2015 until February 29, 2016 and $20,333 from March 1, 2016 until December 31, 2016.
The foregoing is a summary description of certain terms of the Lease Amendment and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease Amendment, which the Company intends to file as an exhibit to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
