Item 1.01.  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 1, 2005, the registrant entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the lease covering the registrant’s headquarters and laboratories in San Diego, California, comprising approximately 29,000 square feet. The registrant executed the Amendment with its landlord, E.G. Sirrah, LLC. The Amendment provides for a 7-year extension, through October 15, 2012, with two 2-year options in registrant’s favor thereafter. The Amendment also provides the registrant with a right to early-terminate. The base monthly rent under the Amendment is initially $56,355, with annual increases of 3%. The Amendment provides for a tenant improvement allowance, a portion of which may be amortized as additional rent. Under the Amendment, registrant has an expansion right and a right of first refusal on the property adjacent to its headquarters, comprising approximately 24,000 square feet.

 

On November 2, 2005, the registrant’s wholly-owned Swedish subsidiary, ACADIA Pharmaceuticals AB (“ACADIA AB”), entered into a lease agreement (the “Swedish Lease”) with Medeon Fastigheter AB for ACADIA AB’s chemistry research facilities in Malmo, Sweden. ACADIA AB moved into this facility in June of this year and the basic terms of the Swedish Lease had been filed as an exhibit to the registrant’s registration statement for its initial public offering in 2004. The Swedish Lease has a ten-year term with a five-year renewal provision. At current exchange rates, the monthly rent for the first year of the Swedish Lease is approximately $80,000 per month, for approximately 30,000 square feet of space. The rental rate is subject to annual adjustment based on the Swedish consumer price index.
