Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On January 7, 2015, Jazz Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“JPI”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Jazz Pharmaceuticals plc (the “Company”), entered into a Commercial Lease (as amended on January 29, 2018 and July 26, 2018, the “ Existing Lease”) with The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (“Landlord”) for a building located at 3170 Porter Drive, Palo Alto, California (the “Building”).
JPI and Landlord entered into an Agreement for Termination of Lease Amendment and Voluntary Surrender of Premises, which provides for, among other things, amendments of the term for the Existing Lease, which was scheduled to expire on October 14, 2029; which amendment is subject to the condition of Landlord securing a tenant to relet the Building. On October 10, 2024, Landlord notified JPI that it had secured a tenant to relet the Building; accordingly the Existing Lease will terminate effective June 30, 2025. JPI will be obligated to pay Landlord a lease modification payment as a result of the condition precedent being satisfied.
On October 11, 2024, JPI entered into a new lease agreement with Hudson Palo Alto Square, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, for premises located at 3000 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, California (the “Premises”). JPI is expected to occupy the Premises by July 1, 2025.
The Company will continue to maintain its U.S. operations in Palo Alto, California, Carlsbad, California and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
