| Item 1.02 | Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement |
On August 28, 2018, Oncobiologics, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a lease termination agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) effective September 1, 2018, with Cedar Brook East Corporate Center, LP, a New Jersey limited partnership, (the “Landlord”) to terminate the lease dated August 31, 2015 for approximately 82,000 square feet of office and laboratory space located in Cranbury, New Jersey (the “Lease”). In consideration for the termination of the Lease, the Company agreed to make payments to the Landlord totaling approximately $5.8 million, which includes (i) $287,615, the unamortized balance of the broker’s fee paid by Landlord for the Lease, which was payable upon execution of the Termination Agreement, (ii) $50,000 per month for up to 30 months, commencing September 1, 2018, and (iii) a $4.0 million lease termination payment together with the 30th monthly payment and, in any event, on or before February 1, 2021. The Company and Landlord have agreed that the $174,250 security deposit will be used to pay the 7th, 8th and 9th and a portion of the 10th monthly payments. The Company may pay the $4.0 million lease termination payment at any time, whereupon the Company’s obligation to make the monthly lease payments terminates.
The Company conducted a review of its current and expected infrastructure and liquidity needs for its current strategy and, as a result, the Company determined to buyout the Lease. The buyout of the Lease is expected to reduce cash needs by approximately $1.3 million over the next two years, and approximately $5.0 million in total over the remaining life of the original Lease through February 2026.
The foregoing description of the terms of such Termination Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by the full text of such agreement. The Company intends to file a copy of the Termination Agreement with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending September 30, 2018.
