Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
|
On February 14, 2017, Lifetime Brands, Inc. (the
Company) entered into a triple net lease agreement (the Lease) with Baseline Opportunity, LLC (the Landlord) for 702,668 square feet of warehouse and distribution space in Rialto, California (the
Facility). The term of the Lease is 128 months with three renewal options of five years each. Annual base rent will be approximately $3.5 million annually, at the commencement of the Lease, and will increase on an annual basis by 3%. The
Company shall receive an abatement of eight months of base rent.
Landlord will construct the Facility to the Companys specifications as set forth
in the Lease, at Landlords sole cost and expense up to a maximum expense as set forth in the lease (Tenant Improvement Allowance). If due to changes in the specifications requested by the Company the cost for the design and
construction of the Facility exceeds the Tenant Improvement Allowance, the Company has the option to either (i) pay for the increased cost, or (ii) finance the increased cost through a capitalized tenant improvement allowance and an
amortized tenant improvement allowance, both of which shall be paid through an increase in the rent.
The Lease will commence the later of (i) the
substantial completion of the Facility and other on site and off-site improvements to be undertaken by Landlord pursuant to the Lease, or (ii) November 1, 2017. If Landlord has not substantially completed the improvements by
December 1, 2017, the Company shall receive additional rent abatements until substantial completion is achieved.
The Company expects to begin moving
its operations into the Facility in November 2017. The Facility will serve as the Companys West Coast distribution facility of its U.S. Wholesale Segment, which will replace the Companys existing Fontana, California facility, the
lease for which expires in March 2018.
