Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 4, 2014, we entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with John Ronan and Castle Cove Property Developments Limited (the “Landlord”) providing for our lease of 10,266 sq. ft. of space in a facility located at 1 Burlington Road, Dublin 4, Ireland through our wholly-owned subsidiary, Horizon Pharma Services Limited. We are also a direct party to the Lease as a guarantor. The Lease is for a term of 15 years, commencing on November 4, 2014. For the first five years of the Lease, the minimum rent due is 482,970€ (Euro) per year and is payable in equal quarterly payments. On November 5, 2019 and each fifth anniversary thereafter, the rental rate will be set to a current market rate, as determined by the procedures set forth in the Lease. We have the right to terminate the Lease after ten years by giving at least nine months prior notice to the Landlord.
The foregoing summary of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lease, which will be attached as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.
