Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 30, 2005, ZipRealty, Inc. entered into a definitive amendment to its existing lease of its corporate offices. Under the amendment, the company’s headquarters will be relocated from its existing 15,825 square feet on the 15th floor to 23,803 square feet on the 3rd floor of the same building where its headquarters is now located. The company expects the relocation to occur in late January 2006.
The amendment extends the previous lease term from January 31, 2007 to January 31, 2012, and reduces the monthly base rent from the current amount of $37.32 per square foot annually on the 15th floor space to an initial monthly base rent of $25.32 per square foot annually on the 3rd floor space, subject to a 3.5% annual escalator. Under the amendment, the company expects its operating lease commitments to increase by approximately $3.4 million, principally associated with an extension of the lease term. The company also anticipates spending up to $1.25 million in capital in connection with the relocation and build-out of the new space.
A copy of lease amendment is filed as an exhibit to this report on Form 8-K.
