Mustang Manufacturing Facility
 
On October 27, 2017, Mustang entered into a lease agreement with WCS - 377 Plantation Street, Inc., a Massachusetts nonprofit corporation ("Landlord"). Pursuant to the terms of the lease agreement, Mustang agreed to lease 27,043 sf from the Landlord for the facility through November 2026, subject to additional extensions at Mustang’s option. Base rent, net of abatements of $0.6 million, over the lease term totals approximately $3.6 million, on a triple-net basis. Mustang plans to make improvements to the facility of approximately $3.5 million.
 
The terms of the lease also require that Mustang post an initial security deposit of $0.8 million, in the form of $0.5 million letter of credit and $0.3 million in cash, which shall increase to $1.3 million ($1.0 million letter of credit, $0.3 million in cash) when the space is fully occupied by Mustang. After the fifth lease year, the letter of credit obligation is subject to reduction.
 
The facility is expected to be operational for the production of personalized CAR T therapies in 2018.
