| Item 1.01. | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 2, 2025, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with 550 King Street, LLC (the “Landlord”), pursuant to which the Company will lease approximately 19,590 rentable square feet of commercial space located at 550 King Street, Building A, Suite 100, Littleton, Massachusetts (the “Premises”). The Lease provides for an initial term of seven and one half (7.5) years, commencing upon substantial completion of tenant improvements and receipt of a certificate of occupancy (the “Term Commencement Date”), which is targeted for August 1, 2025.
The Lease includes two options to extend the term for additional five-year periods, exercisable with at least nine months’ prior written notice. Base rent for the initial term is abated for the first six months following the Term Commencement Date, after which base rent is payable as follows: The annual base rent for the first year of the lease is $361,435.50 (or $30,119.63 per month), and such annual base rent increases by three percent (3%) each lease year over the previous year’s annual base rent. In addition to base rent, the Company is responsible for its pro-rata share (7.22%) of real estate taxes and operating expenses, as further defined in the Lease. The Lease provides for the permitted use of the Premises for general office, laboratory, manufacturing, warehousing, showroom, and related legal uses. The Lease grants the Company a right of first offer on contiguous space that becomes available in the building during the lease term or any extension.
The Landlord is responsible for completing certain tenant improvements, as described in the Lease. If the Landlord fails to substantially complete the tenant improvements by October 1, 2025 (subject to extension for tenant delays), the Company is entitled to one additional day of abated rent for each day of delay. If the Term Commencement Date does not occur by January 1, 2026 (other than due to tenant delays), the Company may terminate the Lease and receive a refund of all sums previously paid.
The foregoing description of the Lease does not purport to be a complete statement of the parties’ rights and obligations and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, including all exhibits and schedules thereto, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
