Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On June 28, 2018, Adverum Biotechnologies, Inc. and HCP LS Redwood City, LLC (Landlord) entered into a Lease dated as of
June 28, 2018 (the Lease), pursuant to which Adverum will lease approximately 41,445 rentable square feet located at 800 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California (the 800 Space) and approximately 39,967 rentable square
feet located at 900 Saginaw Drive, Redwood City, California (the 900 Space, and together with the 800 Space, the Premises). The Premises, which Adverum plans to occupy in the second half of 2019, will serve as Adverums
new corporate headquarters. The Premises will also include expanded manufacturing capabilities, intended to enable the scale up of process development at the 2000 liter scale as well as the potential for future cGMP manufacturing of clinical trial
material.
The anticipated delivery date of the 900 Space is September 1, 2018. The anticipated delivery date for the 800 Space is
November 1, 2018. The Lease term commences the later of (i) March 1, 2019; or (ii) the date which occurs six (6) months after the 900 Space is delivered to the Company in condition required by the Lease (Lease
Commencement Date). The term of the Lease expires on day immediately preceding the tenth anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date. The Lease provides for two options to extend the Lease term for a period of seven years each, each of which
would commence upon the expiration of the then-current term, with base rent of a market rate determined according to the Lease.
The
monthly base rent for the Premises for months 1-7 will be $186,750, the base rent for months 8-12 will be $280,125, the base rent for months 13-18 will be $290,085, the base rent for months 19-24 will be $379,380, and the monthly base rent for the
Premises for year 3 will be $392,406. Beginning on the 37th month and annually thereafter, the monthly base rent shall be increased by 3.5%. In addition, during the term of the Lease, Adverum will pay Landlord, on an annual basis, a portion, as
determined according to the Lease, of certain operating expenses, property management fees and taxes related to the Premises incurred by Landlord.
Landlord has agreed to provide Adverum with a tenant improvement allowance of $100/rentable square foot. Prior to the Lease Commencement Date,
Adverum will provide Landlord with a letter of credit in the amount of $998,502.
The foregoing summary of the Lease does not purport to
be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to Adverums Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2018.
