Revolution Medicines, Inc.

The transaction consists of four separate leases with four affiliated landlords, subsidiaries of Pacific Shores Phase II Associates, LLC. Commencement dates are staggered from September 26, 2027 through September 1, 2028, with initial terms ending in September 2042, and the company holds options to extend each lease for up to three additional five-year periods. At full commencement, aggregate scheduled monthly base rent will begin at approximately $2.7 milliona and increase by approximately 3% annually.
Rent abatement periods run through January 2030 and represent an aggregate base rent abatement of approximately $23.1 millionb. The landlords have agreed to aggregate tenant improvement allowances of approximately $115.9 million, with the company able to elect up to approximately $40.3 million in additional allowances, which would be repaid as additional rent amortized at 10% annually. The leases are conditioned on the landlords' acquisition of the underlying properties (the "Phase II Closing").
Base rent is reduced if that closing occurs after November 24, 2026, and the company may terminate if it does not occur by December 31, 2026; each lease automatically terminates if the closing has not occurred by April 29, 2027, absent an agreed extension. The filing also notes that Farallon Capital Management, L.L.C. reported beneficial ownership of approximately 6.4%c of the company's common stock as of June 30, 2026, and that Farallon-managed funds indirectly own a majority interest in the landlords.
