Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 7, 2020, Second Sight Medical Products, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a lease with Sylmar Biomedical Park, LLC, to lease a smaller portion of its present facility. The new lease allows the Company to significantly reduce its rent while maintaining operations and its current address. The term of the lease is from June 16, 2020 until December 31, 2020 and automatically renews monthly thereafter unless terminated by either party with 30 days notice. The monthly rent is $15,931.80 inclusive of a proportionate share of the building’s maintenance cost. The prior rent was $37,662.76, plus a proportionate share of the building’s maintenance cost, which averaged approximately $20,000 per month in 2019. The facility will support the Company’s current staff and operations, including continuation of its Orion early feasibility study, with six subjects at UCLA and Baylor College of Medicine, and other Orion research.
