Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.
On August 25, 2022 (the “Termination Date”), SomaLogic Operating Co., Inc. (“SomaLogic Opco”), a wholly owned subsidiary of SomaLogic, Inc. (the “Company”), agreed with Louisville 1 Industrial Owner, LLC (“Landlord 1”) and Louisville 2 Industrial Owner, LLC (“Landlord 2” and together with Landlord 1, collectively, the “Landlord”) to terminate that certain Lease Agreement between SomaLogic Opco and Landlord 1 relating to the lease of a building (“Building 1”) at 1350 South 96th Street in Louisville, Colorado (“Lease 1”) and that certain Lease Agreement between SomaLogic Opco and Landlord 2 relating to the lease of a building (“Building 2”) at 1452 South 96th Street in Louisville, Colorado (“Lease 2” and together with Lease 1, collectively, the “Leases”). Building 1 and Building 2, comprise 100,080 square feet and 98,640 square feet, respectively, of planned office, warehouse, laboratory and other space and was intended to serve as the Company’s future headquarters. The Company evaluated the cost of the Leases and determined that it would be in the best interest of the Company to terminate these agreements and maintain the location of its current headquarters at this time.
As consideration for the termination of the Leases, SomaLogic Opco agreed to pay to the Landlord a termination fee of $6,000,000.00 (the “Termination Fee”) to be paid as follows: (i) $2,500,000.00 on the Termination Date or within one business day of the Termination Date and (ii) $3,500,000.00 (the “Final Payment”) on January 2, 2023. In the event the Landlord enters into a subsequent lease agreement for either the entirety of Building 1 or the entirety of Building 2 with certain counterparties on or before January 2, 2023, then the Final Payment shall be reduced by $1,000,000.00 so that the total Termination Fee paid by SomaLogic Opco is $5,000,000.00. If SomaLogic Opco fails to make the Final Payment as and when due, interest shall thereafter accrue at a rate of 12% per annum until it is paid.
Under the terms of the Leases, SomaLogic Opco was required to deliver a letter of credit in the amount of approximately $2,000,000 for each of Lease 1 and Lease 2 to secure the obligations under each of the Leases (the “Security Deposit”). As a result of the termination of the Leases, the Security Deposit shall remain in place to guarantee the payment of the Termination Fee. The Security Deposit shall be released upon SomaLogic Opco’s full performance of the Termination Agreement, including full payment of the Termination Fee.
