Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On December 19, 2016, Evoke Pharma, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an Office Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with SB Corporate Centre III-IV, LLC (the “Landlord”) pursuant to which the Company leased approximately 3,031 rentable square feet of space from the Landlord at 420 Steven Avenue, Suite 370, Solana Beach, CA 92075. The Company will use the office space as its new corporate headquarters. The Lease will commence on January 1, 2017 and will expire on December 31, 2018 (the “Initial Lease Term”), unless earlier terminated, with an option to extend the Initial Lease Term for an additional two years subject to specified prior written notice. The Lease provides for, among other things, a monthly base rent during the Initial Lease Term in the amounts set forth in the table below:

If the Initial Lease Term is extended for the optional two-year period, the monthly base rent will be the then prevailing base rental rate for comparable space in the same submarket, as determined by the Landlord and accepted by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Lease. The Lease contains customary provisions allowing the Landlord to terminate the Lease if the Company is rendered insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or has failed to remedy a breach of any of its obligations under the Lease within time periods specified in the Lease.
In addition to rent, the Company agreed to pay a portion of the taxes and utility, maintenance and other operating costs paid or accrued in connection with the ownership and operation of the property.
The foregoing description of the Lease does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Lease, a copy of which the Company intends to file with its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.
