Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On May 28, 2019, REGENXBIO Inc. (the “Company”) and DS400OWNER, LLC (the “Landlord”) entered into a First Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Lease dated as of May 16, 2016, by and between 400 Madison Holdings, LLC, predecessor-in-interest to the Landlord, as landlord, and the Company, as tenant (the “Original Lease” and, as amended, the “Amended Lease”).

Pursuant to the Amended Lease, the Company will lease approximately 10,500 square feet of office space at 400 Madison Avenue, New York, New York from the Landlord, consisting of approximately 3,865 square feet of office space that had comprised the existing premises under the Original Lease (the “Existing Premises”) and an additional 6,635 square feet of office space that comprises the expansion premises under the Amendment (the “Expansion Premises”).

The term of the Original Lease had been set to expire on October 31, 2020. Pursuant to the Amendment, the term will be extended for an additional period to commence on November 1, 2020 and to expire seven years from the Expansion Premises Rent Commencement Date, as defined in the Amendment.

The base rent for the Expansion Premises under the Amended Lease, including electricity charges, will be $43,956.88 per month ($6.63 per square foot) for approximately the first year and will escalate thereafter as described in the Amendment. The base rent for the Existing Premises under the Amended Lease, including electricity charges, will be $25,605.63 per month ($6.63 per square foot) for the period from November 1, 2020 until the rent for the Expansion Premises first escalates and will escalate thereafter as described in the Amendment.

The foregoing descriptions of certain terms of the Original Lease, the Amendment and the Amended Lease do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Original Lease and the Amendment, which are included as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively, to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
