| Item 1.01 | Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 27, 2021, Butterfly Network, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a Lease Agreement (the “Lease”) with NEEP Investors Holdings LLC (the “Landlord”) for approximately 61,138 rentable square feet consisting of the entire building located at 1600 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts (the “Premises”). The Premises covered by the Lease will serve as the Company’s new principal office.

The initial term of the Lease is ten (10) years and eight (8) months beginning on the lease commencement date, which is expected to be January 14, 2022 (the “Lease Commencement Date”). The Company has the option to extend the term of the Lease for two (2) additional five (5) year periods, subject to the terms of the Lease. Additionally, prior to the Lease Commencement Date, the Company will be permitted to occupy temporary space in Burlington, Massachusetts. The Landlord is performing a build-out of the Premises prior to the Lease Commencement Date and is providing a specified Tenant improvement allowance for the build-out.

The Company will pay no rent for the first eight (8) months of the Lease term. Following this period, the Company will be obligated to make monthly rent payments in the amount of approximately $136,667 per month for months nine (9) through twelve (12) and $140,000 per month for months thirteen (13) through twenty (20), as part of a phase-in that only requires the Company to make monthly rent payments on 40,000 rentable square feet for the first twenty (20) months of the Lease term. Thereafter, the Company will be obligated to make monthly rent payments on the entire 61,138 rentable square feet in the amount of approximately $213,983 per month, which amount is subject to an increase of $1.00 per rentable square foot per annum on each anniversary of the Lease Commencement Date. In the event the Company exercises its option to extend the Lease term, the Lease provides for monthly rent payments during the additional five (5) year periods at the then-current market rent as determined in accordance with the Lease. In addition to rent, the Lease requires the Company to pay additional rent amounts for taxes, insurance, maintenance and other operating expenses.

A security deposit in the amount of $4,000,000 in the form of a letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) is required to be delivered by the Company to the Landlord within thirty (30) days following the date of the Lease. Such Letter of Credit shall be reduced to $2,000,000 or $750,000 on or after the forty-eighth (48th) month of the Lease term provided certain condition set forth in the Lease are satisfied.

The Company has a right of first offer to lease additional space in other buildings owned by the Landlord and located at 1700 District Avenue, Burlington, Massachusetts and 1500 District Avenue, Burlington Massachusetts on certain terms and conditions set forth in the Lease.

The Company has the option to terminate the Lease early effective as of the ninety-second (92nd) month of the Lease term provided certain conditions set forth in the Lease are satisfied.

The Lease contains customary events of default that, among other things, entitle the Landlord to terminate the Lease and recover from the Company all rent payments and other amounts payable as of the date of termination and that would otherwise be payable for the remainder of the term of Lease, plus certain additional costs and expenses arising from the termination, provided that such amount shall not exceed twelve (12) months of rent payable under the Lease plus any then unamortized Landlord costs. The specified events of default include, among other things, nonpayment of rent or other amounts due and payable by the Company under the Lease, an uncured breach of a covenant under the Lease and certain bankruptcy and insolvency events.

The foregoing summary of the Lease is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
