Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 29, 2014, Splunk Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an office lease (the “Lease”) with 270 Brannan Street, LLC (the “Landlord”) to lease approximately 182,000 square feet located at 270 Brannan Street, San Francisco, California (the “Premises”). The Lease provides for the initial lease of a portion of the Premises (the “Initial Premises”) and subsequent lease of the remaining Premises (the “Must-Take Premises”). Base rent for the first year is based on 95,000 rentable square feet, regardless of the actual size of the Initial Premises.
The Lease term (the “Term”) is 84 months from the date that the Company begins paying rent for the applicable Premises. Subject to Landlord’s completion of certain pre-occupancy improvements, the Term for the Initial Premises is expected to commence on January 1, 2016 and the Term for the Must-Take Premises will commence one year thereafter.
Annual base rent will be approximately $6.3 million for the first year of the Term for the Initial Premises increasing to approximately $12.2 million on the rent term commencement date of the Must-Take Premises, and is subject to annual increases of 3.0% during the Term. The base rent payments do not include the Company’s proportionate share of any operating expenses, including real estate taxes, for the Premises. The Company has the option to extend the Term for the Initial Premises and the Must-Take Premises (or portions thereof) for up to two renewal terms of five years each, provided that the rent would be subject to market adjustment at the beginning of each renewal term.
Additionally, the Company has a one-time right of first negotiation with respect to a proposed sale of the Premises.
