Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On November 4, 2021, Clear Secure, Inc. (the “Company”) and 85 Tenth Avenue Associates, L.L.C. (“Landlord”) entered into a Lease (the “Lease Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will lease approximately 120,000 square feet of an office building to house the Company’s corporate headquarters. The Lease Agreement provides for a commencement on the later of October 1, 2022 or the date on which the Landlord delivers possession of the premises with certain agreed upon improvements to be made by the Landlord, at the Landlord’s expense (provided, Landlord shall not be obligated to incur expenses greater than the Landlord Work Costs Contribution, as defined in the Lease Agreement), completed. The Lease Agreement provides a sixteen-month rent abatement period, which is subject to extension in the event that the building is inaccessible or the agreed upon improvements are not yet completed, in each case, due to government-mandated shutdowns in response to COVID-19. In addition, the Company is entitled to an additional rent abatement until February 28, 2027, which is intended to cover the Company’s obligations under a prior lease agreement. The term of the Lease Agreement is fifteen years after the date that rent obligations began, with an option to renew for one 5-year 10-year period at Fair Market Value (as defined in the Lease Agreement) by providing the Landlord with eighteen months’ notice and certain other requirements.

The foregoing description of the Lease Agreement does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Lease Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated into this Item 1.01 by reference.
