Item 1.01                                          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On April 2, 2012, we entered into an agreement with Hammerson (99 Bishopsgate) Limited, Hammerson UK Properties PLC, 99 Bishopsgate Management Limited and our subsidiary CRA International (UK) Limited to surrender the lease of one of the three floors we currently lease in the office building at 99 Bishopsgate in London.  Our London-based operations will continue on the two remaining leased floors.  Under this agreement, we will surrender our lease of this floor on June 30, 2012, instead of on the lease’s original termination date of October 2, 2016, and will on the date of surrender pay Hammerson (99 Bishopsgate) Limited approximately £750,000 in connection with the surrender.

 

A copy of the surrender agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
