Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On January 9, 2014, Aegerion Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Fourth Amendment to Lease (the “Lease Amendment”), with an effective date as of January 1, 2014, by and between the Company and RREEF America REIT II Corp. PPP (the “Landlord”), which amends the Lease, with an effective date as of January 1, 2011, by and between the Company and the Landlord, as such lease has been amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Original Lease,” and together with the Lease Amendment, the “Lease”). Under the Lease Amendment, the Company has leased approximately 31,571 square feet of additional office space for its headquarters in Cambridge, Massachusetts and extended the term for all of the leased space covered by the Lease, consisting of approximately 54,069 square feet, including the space added through the Lease Amendment, through April 30, 2019. Under the terms of the Lease, the base rent, subject to certain adjustments, for all of the leased space covered by the Lease will be approximately $263,276 per month, plus certain operating expenses and taxes, and shall increase on an annual basis and otherwise as provided in the Lease.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Lease, including the Lease Amendment, does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Lease, including all prior amendments thereto, which have been filed previously by the Company, and the Lease Amendment, a copy of which will be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an exhibit to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 2013.
