Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 15, 2023, Amprius Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease Agreement”) with Starboard Platform Brighton JV LLC (the “Landlord”) to lease premises consisting of approximately 774,000 square feet of space, located at 18875 East Bromley Lane, Brighton, Colorado 80601, to build the Company’s GWh-scale manufacturing facility.
The zoning for this site is Industrial PUD and currently does not allow for manufacturing our batteries. If Landlord is unable to obtain the re-zoning approval before the end of the Zoning Contingency Period (as defined in the Lease Agreement), the Lease Agreement will automatically terminate.
The term of the lease commences on June 1, 2024 and runs 180 months, with two additional 5-year renewal options.
The base rent obligations over the term range from $4.50 to $7.04 per square foot per year. The base rent for the first 19 months of the term will be abated in accordance with the Lease Agreement. Pursuant to such abatement right, the amount of base rent to be paid monthly by the Company is anticipated to be (i) none during months 1 through 6; (ii) $187,500.99 during months 7 through 12; and (iii) $193,593.75 during months 13 through 19. The Landlord has the right to buy out all or any portion of the abated rent by providing a cash payment to the Company in an amount equal to the outstanding rent abatement, discounted to present value at 8% per annum.
The Lease Agreement is furnished as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease.
