Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On March 18, 2013, Intercept Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Intercept” or the “Company”) entered into the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the lease for its San Diego office with 4350 La Jolla Village LLC. The First Amendment, among other things, adds approximately 5,100 square feet to the Company’s San Diego office, resulting in the Company leasing an aggregate of approximately 12,700 square feet of space, and extends the term of the existing lease. The lease for the Company’s San Diego office, as amended by the First Amendment, will expire in December 2015. Under the amended lease, Intercept’s future minimum lease payments for 2013, 2014 and 2015 are expected to be approximately $330,000, $411,000 and $467,000, respectively.

 

The foregoing description of the First Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the copy of the First Amendment attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

 

Item 8.01 Other Events.

 

Between March 20 and March 22, 2013, Mark Pruzanski, President and Chief Executive Officer, Barbara Duncan, Chief Financial Officer, and David Shapiro, Executive Vice President and Chief Medical Officer, each entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan designated to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Each plan contemplates the sale of a limited number of shares of the Company’s common stock for personal financial management reasons. The initial sales under these plans are not scheduled to occur until after the lock-up agreements with the underwriters for the Company’s initial public offering expire on April 8, 2013.

 

Dr. Pruzanski’s plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 150,000 shares of common stock that may be received upon the exercise of vested stock options on or prior to October 11, 2013. Ms. Duncan’s plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 110,000 shares of common stock that may be received upon the exercise of vested stock options on or prior to October 6, 2013. Dr. Shapiro’s plan allows for the sale of a maximum of 57,576 shares of common stock that either are associated with restricted stock units or may be received upon the exercise of vested stock options on or prior to March 31, 2014. Sales under the plans may be executed earlier than the scheduled termination dates.

 

Transactions made under these plans will be publicly disclosed through filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific Rule 10b5-1 pre-planned stock trading plans of directors and officers of the Company, nor to report modifications or terminations of the aforementioned plans or the plan of any other individual.
