Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2013, Sarepta Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) and ARE-MA Region No. 38, LLC (the “Landlord”) entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) under which the Company will lease approximately 61,453 rentable square feet of laboratory and office space in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which includes space for which the Company has recently exercised a right of first refusal (the “Premises”).

The initial term of the lease is seven years from the date (the “Commencement Date”) the Premises are delivered to the Company or, if earlier, the date the Landlord could have delivered the Premises but for certain delays by the Company. Under the terms of the Lease, the Landlord must use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to the Company on or before December 20, 2013. Although the Lease does not provide the Company with a termination option, the Lease provides the Company with two consecutive rights to extend the term of the Lease for five years, each at the market rental rate and otherwise on the same terms and conditions as the initial term of the Lease. The Lease also provides that during the initial term and during the first five-year extension term, the Company has another right of first refusal to lease approximately 29,352 rentable square feet of space located in the same building as the Premises. In addition to operating expenses and certain other additional expenses set forth in the Lease, under the terms of the Lease, beginning on the Commencement Date, the Company must pay an average base rent of approximately $2.9 million per year during the initial term of the Lease.

The foregoing description of the terms of the Lease does not purport to be a complete description and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease that is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
