Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On March 9, 2023, Angion Biomedica Corp. entered into a Surrender Agreement with NovaPark LLC pursuant to which the parties terminated the Agreement of Lease, dated as of June 21, 2011, as amended, and set to expire in June of 2026, between Angion and NovaPark whereby NovaPark had leased to Angion office and laboratory space at 51 Charles Lindbergh Boulevard, Uniondale, New York (the “Property”). Pursuant to the Surrender Agreement: (a) Angion shall pay to NovaPark a termination fee of $3.03 million, and (b) Angion and NovaPark entered into a Membership Interest Redemption Agreement pursuant to which Angion relinquished its 10% membership interest in NovaPark. The Surrender Agreement provides that, except for the payment of the termination fee described above, no other rent or charges (whether or not now accruing or in arrears) will be due from Angion with respect to any period prior to or subsequent to the surrender of the Property to NovaPark, thereby relieving Angion of rent payments equal to approximately $3.86 million, plus other amounts for facility fees and utilities with respect to the Property. Prior to the entering into the Membership Interest Redemption Agreement, Angion, Itzhak Goldberg, a director and Chairman Emeritus on Angion's Board, and Rina Kurz, Dr. Goldberg’s spouse, owned 10%, 45% and 45%, respectively, of the membership interests in NovaPark. The transactions were approved by the Audit Committee of Angion’s Board of Directors as this transaction was a related party transaction.

The information set forth in Item 1.01 hereto is incorporated by reference herein.
