Item 1.02Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 12, 2022, Marchex, Inc. (“Marchex”) provided written notice to 520 Pike Street, Inc. (“Landlord”) that it was exercising its option to terminate the lease dated June 5, 2009, as amended to date, with respect to its offices located at 520 Pike Street, Suite 2000, Seattle, Washington (the “Lease”) as of March 31, 2023 (the “Termination Date”).  Pursuant to the Lease, Marchex is required to make a termination payment of $670,984.38 on or before the Termination Date, and the Lease would have otherwise terminated on March 31, 2025.  Marchex has elected to terminate the Lease early since the configuration and excess square footage of these offices is not consistent with Marchex’s current and anticipated future needs.  Marchex intends to procure alternative office space in the Seattle, Washington area before the Termination Date.
