Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On November 1, 2020, Prelude Therapeutics Incorporated (the Company) entered into a Second Amended and Restated Entrepreneur Client License Agreement (the Amendment) with Delaware Innovation Space, Inc. (DISI) to amend the Amended and Restated Entrepreneur Client License Agreement dated June 1, 2020 (the Original Agreement) relating to the Companys office and laboratory space in Wilmington, Delaware. The Amendment provides for the expansion of the premises by approximately 8,800 rentable square feet (the Expansion Space). Upon inclusion of the Expansion Space, the Company will license approximately 19,800 rentable square feet of office space (the Premises) from DISI (the License). Pursuant to the Amendment, the initial term of the License is twenty-six months commencing on November 1, 2020 and terminating on December 31, 2022 (the Initial Term).
The total base license fee for the Premises through the Initial Term is expected to be $2,975,700 (the License Fee). In addition to the License Fee, upon the execution of the Amendment, the Company paid DISI a decommissioning and cleaning fee of $6,000. The Company has an option to renew the License for twelve months commencing on January 1, 2023 at a monthly renewal license fee increased by 5.0% for a total of $1,442,070 payable during the renewal term.
Pursuant to the Amendment, the Company was granted a right of first offer (the ROFO) in connection with certain licensable additional space on the Premises that becomes vacant prior to October 31, 2021 (Available ROFO Space). If the Company exercises its ROFO, the Company will pay to DISI an increased monthly license fee not to exceed $153,000 per month at any time during the Initial Term. As consideration for the ROFO, the Company paid DISI a one-time payment of $150,000 upon execution of the Amendment.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amendment, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.
