On April 11, 2018, Agios Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment of Lease (the “Lease Amendment”) with UP 64 Sidney Street, LLC (the “Landlord”). The Lease Amendment amends certain terms of the Company’s existing lease with the Landlord, dated November 17, 2017 (the “Lease”), pursuant to which the Company leased approximately 27,100 rentable square feet of office space located at 64 Sidney Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts (the “New Premises”). The Lease Amendment, which is effective as of April 11, 2018, expands the rentable square footage of the New Premises from approximately 27,100 square feet to approximately 40,000 square feet (such additional square footage, the “Expansion Space”). Pursuant to the Lease Amendment, the date on which the Company will become responsible for paying rent with respect to the Expansion Space under the Lease is October 1, 2018, and the initial term of the Lease with respect the Expansion Space expires on February 28, 2025, unless sooner terminated.
Pursuant to the Lease Amendment, the Company’s monthly base rent for the New Premises will increase from approximately $181,000 to approximately $251,000 and will increase on an annual basis up to a maximum monthly base rent of approximately $296,000. The Lease Amendment also provides for a tenant improvement allowance of approximately $450,000 for improvements to be made to the Expansion Space, as well as certain rights with respect to leasing additional space adjacent to the Expansion Space, as more particularly described in the Lease Amendment.
