Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On June 25, 2015, Illumina, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary, Illumina Cambridge Ltd. (the "Company"), entered into an agreement to lease (the "Lease") with an affiliate of BioMed Realty Trust, Inc.  Under the terms of the Lease, the Company will lease an office building, consisting of approximately 155,000 rentable square feet, to be constructed at BioMed’s Granta Park laboratory and office campus located near Cambridge, England.  In addition, the Company has the right to further expand the premises and lease an additional 70,000 rentable square feet (the "Expansion Space").
 
The Lease has a 20 year term, commencing October 2017, and the Company has a no-penalty termination option at the end of year 15.  The aggregate rent during the 20-year term of the Lease is expected to be approximately £94 million, not including the Expansion Space and associated land rent.  In addition to rent, the Lease requires the Company to pay certain taxes, insurance, and operating costs relating to the leased building.
 
The foregoing description of the Lease is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text thereof, a copy of which will be filed as an exhibit to the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending June 28, 2015.
