Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

The information appearing in Item 2.01 of this Current Report is incorporated by reference herein and made a part of this Item 1.02.

On March 10, 2014, BioMarin Pharmaceutical Inc. (the “Company”) completed the purchase of the facility described in Item 2.01 of this Current Report. Prior to purchasing the facility, the Company was subject to two leases relating to office space within the facility: (i) the Lease Agreement entered into on January 6, 2012 between the Company and SR Corporate Center Phase Two, LLC (the “Phase Two Seller”) for 770 Lindaro Street, San Rafael, California (the “770 Lindaro Lease”) and (ii) the Lease Agreement entered into on January 6, 2012 between the Company and the Phase Two Seller for 790 Lindaro Street, San Rafael, California (the “790 Lindaro Lease” and together with the 770 Lindaro Lease, the “Leases”). Accordingly, upon completion of the purchase of the facility, the Leases were effectively terminated.

The foregoing descriptions of the Leases are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the 770 Lindaro Lease and the 790 Lindaro Lease, copies of which were filed as Exhibits 10.34 and 10.35 to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011.

The Agreement was previously reported in the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 23, 2013. The total consideration paid for the SRCC pursuant to the Agreement was $116,500,000.
