**Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.**

On March 6, 2023, Zentalis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the "Company") and LM Cohen & Co. LLP (the "Subtenant") entered into a Sublease Agreement (the "Sublease") pursuant to which the Subtenant will sublease the Company's office space located at 1359 Broadway, Suites 1710 and 1800, New York, NY 10018 (the "Premises"), which the Company leased under that certain Lease Agreement entered into on March 24, 2021 (the "Lease") between the Company and ESRT 1359 BROADWAY, L.L.C. (the "Landlord"). The Lease was previously disclosed by the Company in its Annual Report filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2021.

The term of the Sublease will commence on the later of (i) ten (10) business days following written notice of the date and time of receipt of written consent to the Sublease by the Landlord, or (ii) May 1, 2023, and will extend through November 29, 2032, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of the Sublease.

The Sublease provides that base rent for the Premises will be approximately $1.5 million per annum, or approximately $128,000 per month, for the first five years of the term of the Sublease. The base rent for the Premises will be approximately $1.7 million per annum, or approximately $141,000 per month, for the period commencing on the sixth anniversary of the commencement of the Sublease period through and including the expiration date. The Sublease also contains a 14-month rent abatement provision. In addition, the Sublease contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, obligations and indemnities in favor of either party.

Notwithstanding the Company's entry into the Sublease, all of the terms of the Lease, including the Company's obligations under the Lease, will remain in full force and effect until the Lease is terminated in accordance with its terms. If the Lease is terminated in accordance with its terms prior to November 29, 2032, then the Sublease will also be terminated.
