Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 21, 2021, NeuBase Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a second amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the Lease Agreement (as amended, the “Lease”) with 350 Technology Drive Partners, LLC (the “Landlord”) for office and laboratory space (the “Leased Premises”) located at 350 Technology Drive, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. As previously reported on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 6, 2020, the Leased Premises will serve as the Company’s headquarters upon the commencement of the Lease.

 

Pursuant to the Second Amendment, the parties thereto amended the Lease to provide that the Lease will commence on May 1, 2021. On such date, the Company is obligated to begin making rental payments, provided that the Company may be entitled to a rental credit for certain periods based on the date the Landlord delivers possession of the office space and biology lab within the Leased Premises to the Company and the date the Landlord substantially completes tenant improvements.

 

In addition, pursuant to the Second Amendment and as a result of approved change orders, the Company will pay an escalating base rent over the life of the Lease of approximately $71,000 to $78,000 per month.

 

The foregoing description of the terms of the Second Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Second Amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

 

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
