Assignment and Assumption of San Francisco Office Lease
Effective January 1, 2016, Pattern Energy Group LP (“Pattern Development”) assigned to Pattern Energy Group Inc. (the “Company”) all of Pattern Development’s rights, title, and interest under that certain Office Lease, dated as of September 9, 2009, between AMB Pier One, LLC (the “Landlord”) and Pattern Development (the “Existing Office Lease”) with respect to approximately 27,502 square feet of office space at Pier 1, Bay 3, San Francisco, California 94111 (the “Lease Assignment”). The Landlord consented to such Lease Assignment on January 25, 2016.
As a result of the Lease Assignment, the Company assumed remaining rental commitments under the Existing Office Lease of approximately $1.6 million plus certain annual operating expense reimbursements and customary security deposits. Pursuant to the Bilateral Management Services Agreement (as amended) between the Company and Pattern Development, the costs of the shared office space have been, and will continue to be, allocated on a cost reimbursement basis between the Company and Pattern Development.
The Lease Assignment was recommended by the Company’s Conflicts Committee, which is comprised solely of independent directors, for approval by the Company’s Board of Directors, and approved by the Board of Directors.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Concurrently with the Lease Assignment, the Company entered into an extension through 2026 of the Existing Office Lease with the Landlord, which previously terminated at the end of February 2017. In addition, the Company and the Landlord agreed to a future expansion of additional office space. Such extension and expansion are subject to the consent of the Port Authority of San Francisco.
