Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On July 1, 2021, Radio City Productions LLC (“Radio City Productions”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Madison Square Garden Entertainment Corp. (the “Company”), and RCPI Landmark Properties, L.L.C. (“RCPI”) entered into the sixth amendment (the “Lease Amendment”) to a lease agreement dated December 4, 1997, as amended, pursuant to which Radio City Productions leases Radio City Music Hall and ancillary spaces (the “Lease”). The Lease Amendment extends the term of the Lease, which was previously set to expire in February 2023, until August 31, 2038 for all spaces covered by the prior Lease other than the Retail Space, with an option to renew for an additional 10 years at Fair Market Value (as defined under the Lease Amendment) by providing notice to RCPI. The Lease Amendment also modifies the fixed rent payable, commencing on March 1, 2023, with a six-month rent abatement period as long as Radio City Productions is not in default under the Lease. The Lease Amendment also provides for certain building improvements to be carried out by the parties and funded by RCPI up to certain amounts specified in the Lease Amendment. The term of the Lease with respect to the Retail Space will expire as of February 28, 2023.
The foregoing description of the Lease Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Lease Amendment, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
