| Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement. |
On June 29, 2024, Advent Technologies Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Third Amendment to Lease (the “Lease Amendment”) with Hood Park LLC, a Massachusetts limited liability company (the “Landlord”), to accelerate the expiration of that certain Lease Agreement dated as of March 8, 2021, as amended (the “Lease”), by and between the Company and the Landlord, for certain premises located at 500 Rutherford Avenue, Suite 102, Boston, Massachusetts 02129 that served as the Company’s headquarters.
The term of the Lease was scheduled to expire on January 31, 2031. The Lease Amendment provides that expiration of the lease will be accelerated to be effective as of June 30, 2024, contingent upon the Landlord entering into a written lease agreement with a new tenant, and receipt of consent from Landlord’s mortgagee to the accelerated expiration of the lease, which consent has been received and was made effective on July 1, 2024. As consideration for the Landlord’s agreement to enter into the Lease Amendment and accelerate the expiration date of the Lease, and to repay certain amounts accrued but unpaid by the Company to Landlord, the Company will make payment to Landlord for an amount totaling $737,921.99 in the aggregate.
The foregoing description of the Lease Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
