Nature of Lease

General description of leasing arrangement

 

Leases for office accommodation

Lease payments are subject to annual increases in accordance with upwards movements in the Consumer Price Index. The initial periods of office accommodation are still current and may be renewed for up to five years at MDBC’s option, following a once-off adjustment of rentals to current market levels.

 

Lease for office accommodation fit-out

An additional rent is paid on the office accommodation for the fit-out of the office premises. Fit-out rent is a set amount each year for the continuing term of the lease.

 

Lease for computer equipment

Lease payments are made for the supply of office computer equipment for a period of three years. Computer equipment rent is a set amount each year for the term of the lease. All leased equipment will remain the property of the lessor.

The above schedule should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes.
