Item 1.01                                           Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 24, 2016, Mirna Therapeutics, Inc. (“Mirna” or the “Company”) entered into a Lease (the “Lease”) with G&I VII Encino Trace II LP, a Delaware limited partnership (the “Landlord”), for certain real property located at 5707 Southwest Parkway, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78735, consisting of approximately 23,578 square feet (the “New Facility”).  Mirna currently subleases offices and laboratory space located at 2150 Woodward Street, Suite 100, Austin, Texas 78744 (the “Current Facility”), pursuant to a lease dated October 31, 2014, which expires pursuant to its terms on August 31, 2016.  Mirna intends to move all of its operations in the Current Facility to the New Facility.  The Company intends to use the New Facility for general office purposes and laboratory purposes.

The term of the lease shall initial be for a 123-month period (the “Initial Term”), with the option to extend the Lease for up to two consecutive terms of 60 months, each beyond the end of the Initial Term, on the same terms and conditions of the Lease.  The rent for the Initial Term is fixed as described in the Lease.  The Lease provides that the term of the lease shall commence on the earlier of (i) the date on which the Company first conducts any business in all or any portion of the New Facility; (ii) substantial completion of the improvements, alterations and other physical additions to be made to the New Facility, as described in the Lease, or (iii) January 1, 2017 (the “Commencement Date”).  Beginning from the Commencement Date to the day immediately prior to the 3-month anniversary of the Commencement Date (the “Abatement Period”), no rent is due or payable, but the Company will pay to the landlord certain expenses due to the Landlord, as specified in the Lease.  At the end of the Abatement Period, rent payments shall commence. The Lease provides for annual base rent of approximately $0.6 million in the first year after the Abatement Period, with subsequent yearly increases of approximately 3% in annual base rent. The Lease further provides that Mirna is obligated to pay to Landlord certain costs, taxes and operating expenses related to the Lease and the New Facility, subject to certain exclusions.  The Lease also includes customary provisions regarding, among other things, payment of utility services, alterations, repairs and maintenance, indemnification and roof rights.

Mirna is entitled to an improvement allowance of approximately $1.9 million to be used for planning and construction costs incurred by Mirna to construct certain improvements to the New Facility, as well as certain fees to be paid to the Landlord.

Mirna has obtained a standby letter of credit (the “Letter of Credit”) in the initial amount of approximately $2.4 million, which may be drawn down by Landlord in the event of default, as provided for in the Lease.  Pursuant to the terms of the Lease, if Mirna meets certain requirements, the amount due under the Letter of Credit may be reduced to approximately $800,000.

The foregoing description of the Lease is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Lease, which Mirna intends to file as an exhibit to its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period during which the Lease was entered into.
