Item 8.01. Other Events.
As previously reported, on July 31, 2015, Mecklermedia Corporation (the “Company”), in order to reduce expenses, abandoned its lease in New York City. The abandoned lease had a term expiring in January 2019. In order to mitigate the risk that the landlord could make claims against the Company, which could include the remaining rent payments under the lease, on September 10, 2015, the Company entered into an amendment of lease and surrender agreement. Under the agreement, the Company and the landlord agreed to terminate the lease for the property located at 475 Park Avenue, New York, New York. The Company further agreed to surrender the premises and pay the landlord $75,000. The Company and the landlord each released the other party from any claims under the lease.
