NOTE 7. LEASES

Corporate headquarters

In February 2021, the Company agreed to accelerate its exit from its previous corporate headquarters to October 1, 2021, in exchange for a one-time payment from its landlord of $18 million, which was amortized over the remaining lease term. The exit accelerated depreciation on the related leasehold improvements and reduced the Company’s future lease liabilities by $21.1 million and right of use assets by $20.3 million. On March 31, 2021, the Company leased office space at One Main Street, Cambridge, Massachusetts, to serve as its corporate headquarters. The 4.5 year lease includes a base rent of $2 million per year.

New Waltham office

On July 6, 2021, the Company entered into an office space lease for 131 thousand square feet in Waltham, Massachusetts. The lease term of 11 years began on August 1, 2021. The annual rent equals the base rent plus a portion of building operating costs and real estate taxes. Rent first became payable on August 1, 2022. Base rent for the first year is approximately $6 million and will increase by 3% annually. In addition, the Company will receive an improvement allowance from the landlord of up to $11.8 million. This lease increased the Company’s lease liabilities and lease-related right of use assets by $42.1 million on August 1, 2021.

Weighted-average remaining lease term	7.4 years		7.7 years
Weighted-average discount rate (1)	4.2	%	4.4	%

(1) The rates implicit in most of the Company’s leases are not readily determinable. Therefore, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate when measuring operating lease liabilities. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate the Company would incur to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the lease term in a similar economic environment.
