Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On November 30, 2013, Prothena Biosciences Inc (“PBI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Prothena Corporation plc (the “Company”), and ARE-San Francisco No. 33, LLC (the “Landlord”) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to PBI’s existing lease agreement (the “Lease”) relating to the Company’s offices located in South San Francisco, California (the “Existing Premises”). Pursuant to the Amendment, PBI will lease an additional approximately 13,959 square feet adjacent to the Existing Premises under the Lease (the “Extension Premises”).
Under the terms of the Amendment, the Company can take occupancy of or sublease the Extension Premises immediately, but is not obligated to begin paying rent or related operating expenses for the Extension Premises until April 1, 2015, subject to certain adjustments if the Extension Premises are sublet prior to that date. Rent for the Extension Premises is at the same rate per rentable square foot as for the Existing Premises and includes certain additional tenancy improvement allowances reimbursable by the Landlord. As a result of the Amendment, PBI expects to incur an additional $4.6 million in rent and Lease-related operating expenses over the 7-year Lease term, which expires on November 30, 2020. The obligations of PBI have been guaranteed by the Company.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amendment that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
