Lease Arrangements

On December 9, 2013, the Company entered into a Lease Agreement, as amended on December 23, 2013 and April 15, 2014 (the “Lease Agreement”), for its corporate headquarters, which occupies approximately 36,350 square feet of office, storage and light manufacturing space and is classified as an operating lease for financial reporting purposes. The base term of the Lease Agreement expires on October 31, 2022 and the terms of the Lease Agreement contain no early termination provisions. Provided there is no outstanding uncured event of default under the Lease Agreement, the Company has two options to extend the lease term for a period of five years under each option. The Company’s option to extend the term of the Lease Agreement must be exercised in writing on or before 270 days prior to expiration of the then-current term. If the options are exercised, the monthly minimum rent for each of the extended terms will be adjusted to the then prevailing fair market rate.

The Company took possession of the leased property on May 23, 2014, once certain improvements to the leased space were completed and did not have access to the property before this date. These improvements and other lease related incentives offered by the landlord totaled approximately $623,000, of which approximately $393,000 was unamortized as of July 1, 2019, the effective date upon which the Company adopted the new lease accounting standard as described in more detail in Note 2, “Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies.”

The Company has no other material operating leases and is not party to leases that would qualify for classification as a finance lease, variable lease or short-term lease.

Purchase Commitments

On December 12, 2014, the Company entered into an exclusive supply agreement (the “Supply Agreement”) with Cree, Inc. (“Cree”). Under the Supply Agreement, subject to certain terms and conditions, the Company agreed to exclusively purchase from Cree, and Cree agreed to exclusively supply, 100% of the Company’s required SiC materials in quarterly installments that must equal or exceed a set minimum order quantity. The initial term of the Supply Agreement was scheduled to expire on June 24, 2018, unless extended by the parties.

Effective June 22, 2018, the Supply Agreement was amended to extend the expiration date to June 25, 2023. The Supply Agreement was also amended to (i) provide the Company with one option, subject to certain conditions, to unilaterally extend the term of the Supply Agreement for an additional two-year period following expiration of the initial term; (ii) establish a process by which Cree may begin producing alternate SiC material based on the Company’s specifications that will give the Company the flexibility to use the materials in a broader variety of its products; and (iii) permit the Company to purchase certain amounts of SiC materials from third parties under limited conditions.

The Company’s total purchase commitment under the Supply Agreement until June 2023 is approximately $52.95 million, of which approximately $41.49 remains to be purchased as of September 30, 2019. Over the life of the Supply Agreement, as amended, the Company’s future minimum annual purchase commitments of SiC crystals range from approximately $9 million to $12 million each year.

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, the Company purchased approximately $2.49 million of SiC crystals from Cree pursuant to the terms of the Supply Agreement, as amended. During the three months ended September 30, 2018, the Company purchased approximately $2.11 million of SiC crystals from Cree.
