Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On March 25, 2015, Continental Commercial Products, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“CCP”) and a wholly owned subsidiary of Katy Industries, Inc. (the “Company”), entered into a Commercial Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with 321 Wilson Drive, L.L.C., a Missouri limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for approximately 534,000 square feet of manufacturing and warehouse space located in Jefferson City, Missouri (the “Premises”).  The initial rental term of the Lease is for one hundred and thirty two (132) months, commencing on August 1, 2015 and ending on July 31, 2026.  CCP has the right and option to renew the Lease for all or a portion of the Premises for two (2) renewal periods of five (5) years each on the terms and conditions set forth in the Lease.
 
Each month from March 31, 2015 until January 1, 2016, CCP shall pay the Landlord initial rent in the amount of $10,908.33 per month.  Commencing on January 1, 2016, CCP shall pay rent in the amount of $138,395. The Lease includes rent escalators whereby the maximum rental amount is $154,195 during the final eleven months of the Lease.  Concurrently with the execution of the Lease, CCP paid the Landlord the sum of $142,845 to be retained by the Landlord as security for the faithful performance by CCP of all of the provisions, conditions and covenants of the Lease.
 
In connection with CCP entering into the Lease, the Landlord paid CCP $1,700,000.  The Landlord is responsible for paying all real estate taxes applicable to the Premises unless such taxes are not abated by local authorities due to CCP’s failure to provide an agreed upon number of new jobs (in which case CCP is responsible for paying a proportionate amount of such real estate taxes based on the number of new jobs CCP provides compared to the number of new jobs CCP agreed to provide).  To the extent personal property taxes are not abated by local authorities for the benefit of CCP, CCP is responsible for paying all personal property taxes applicable to its trade fixtures, equipment and personal property.  CCP is also responsible for paying all utilities during the term of the Lease.
 
The foregoing description of the Lease is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease, a copy of which is filed herewith as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference.
 
CCP plans to move its manufacturing and warehouse operations to the Premises from its current location in Bridgeton, Missouri.  In furtherance thereof, CCP has [provided notice to / entered into a termination agreement with] the landlord of the Bridgeton, Missouri facility and, in connection therewith, [has paid a termination fee of $1,600,000.
