On April 4, 2024, Clearfield Inc. entered into a Lease Agreement (the ?Lease?) with Prisma Shelter, S. de R.L. de C.V. (the ?Tenant?) and Banco Actinver, S.A., Institución de Banca Múltiple, Grupo Financiero Actinver, solely in its capacity as Trustee of Trust No. 3218 (the ?Landlord?) for an approximately 318,000 square foot manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico (the ?Facility?). The Company signed the Lease as a joint and several obligor of the Tenant to induce the Landlord to lease the Facility to the Tenant.

The Lease has an effective date of April 1, 2024, and a term of seven years, of which five years are mandatory. The Lease contains two options to extend the term of the Lease for additional periods of five years each. The Lease calls for monthly base rental payments of $168,786.19, increasing two percent annually, plus monthly additional rental payments of $13,238.13, subject to adjustment, for certain costs and expenses related to maintenance, services, security, property taxes and insurance.

The Lease includes customary agreements, covenants, representations and warranties of the parties relating to such matters as use of the Facility, signage, security deposit, condition and delivery of the Facility, quiet enjoyment, assignment and subletting, insurance, alterations or improvements to the Facility, ownership of property, repairs and maintenance, utilities, events of default, and the rights and remedies available to the Landlord upon an event of default. Since July 2021, the Facility has been used to complete final build and assembly of a significant portion of the Company?s products through a third-party maquiladora that had been leasing the Facility from the Landlord. The Company elected to change maquiladoras, which resulted in the Landlord and the previous maquiladora terminating their lease for the Facility and the Landlord leasing the facility to the Tenant, which will serve as the Company?s new maquiladora.
