Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 2, 2021, Miromatrix Medical Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Multi-Tenant Industrial Triple Net Lease (the “Lease”) with B9 Polar Prairie Oaks Corporate LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Landlord”), for research and development and office space located at 6455 Flying Cloud Drive, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 (the “Building”). Under the terms of the Lease, starting on December 31, 2021 (the “Commencement Date”) the Company will lease approximately 42,278 square feet of the Building (the “Premises”) as the sole tenant at the Premises, which will replace the Company’s current leased premises at 10399 West 70th Street, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344.
The base rent under the Lease is $41,397.21 per month for the 12-month period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on December 31, 2022, and thereafter is subject to scheduled annual increases of approximately 3% during the term of the Lease. However, under the terms of the Lease, the Company’s monthly base rent will be abated for the period beginning on the Commencement Date and ending on May 31, 2022, provided the Lease is not terminated due to default. In addition to base rent, the Company is obligated under the Lease to pay to the Landlord certain costs, operating expenses and taxes, including approximately 61.08% of the real property taxes of the Building and the land on which it is located and approximately 61.08% of the Landlord’s management fee, which equals an amount of up to 5% of the Landlord’s gross receipts from leases at the Building.
The term of the Lease begins on the Commencement Date and ends on May 31, 2029. The Company has one option to extend the term for a period of five years beginning on June 1, 2029.
The Company plans to deliver a security deposit to the Landlord through an irrevocable, standby letter of credit (“LOC”) issued by Park State Bank in the amount of $800,000.00 (“Security Amount”), which will be retained by the Landlord as security for the Company’s performance and observance of its obligations under the Lease. To secure the LOC, the Company will be required to place the Security Amount in a restricted cash account at Park State Bank, which may be drawn from in limited circumstances.
The Company currently leases approximately 14,700 square feet split between two offices located at 10301 and 10399 West 70th Street, Eden Prairie, Minnesota 55344 (the “Current Premises”). The lease agreement for the Current Premises is set to expire on December 31, 2021 and the Company will vacate the Current Premises at that time.
The foregoing description of the terms of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Lease, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
