St. Louis Lease
As previously disclosed, in July 2019, we entered into a lease agreement with 900 N. Tucker Building, LLC (“900 N. Tucker”) for a 15.5-year lease of office space in St. Louis, Missouri (the “St. Louis Lease”). Square expects to begin occupying the office space in June 2021. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, we did not make any payments in connection with the St. Louis Lease. During the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021, we expect to make monthly lease payments in accordance with the previously disclosed terms of the St. Louis Lease, as well as associated costs such as parking fees, management fees and annual direct expenses (e.g., operating and tax expenses). We expect that these lease payments will be offset, in part, by tenant improvement allowances under the terms of the St. Louis Lease.
Jim McKelvey, our co-founder and a member of our board of directors, is affiliated with 900 N. Tucker. As a result, Mr. McKelvey may be deemed to have an indirect material interest in the St. Louis Lease. Our audit and risk committee reviewed and approved the St. Louis Lease pursuant to our related person transactions policy.
Other Transactions
We have entered into change of control and severance agreements with our current executive officers that, among other things, provide for certain severance and change of control benefits, as well as a Separation and Release Agreement with our former Square Capital Lead Jacqueline Reses. See the section titled “Executive Compensation—Potential Payments on Termination or Change of Control.”
We have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. The indemnification agreements, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and executive officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
A family member of Brian Grassadonia, our Cash App Lead, is employed by us in a non-executive position. The approximate dollar value of the employee’s total cash and equity compensation for the year ended December 31, 2020 was less than $210,000. The family member also receives benefits consistent with other employees serving in the same capacity.
Other than as described above, since January 1, 2020, we have not entered into any transactions, nor are there any currently proposed transactions, between us and a related party where the amount involved exceeds, or would exceed, $120,000, and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
