On March 6, 2018, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Newton Lease”), commencing on October 1, 2018, for certain premises, which consist of 2,760 square feet of office space located in Newton, Massachusetts. On March 5, 2019, the Company entered into a modified lease agreement (the “Additional Newton Lease”) to lease an additional 1,600 square feet of office space, commencing on June 1, 2019, located in Newton, Massachusetts. The Newton Lease expires on May 31, 2022. On October 15, 2021, the Company entered into a lease amendment extending the Additional Newton Lease through December 31, 2022. Effective with the expiration of the Newton Lease and the extension of the Newton Additional Lease, the space leased by the Company in Newton will be reduced to 1,600 square feet as of June 1, 2022. The Company is required to share in certain taxes and operating expenses associated with the Newton Lease and the Additional Newton Lease.

The Company entered into a triple net lease (the “Bend Lease”) effective April 1, 2018 for certain premises consisting of 2,288 square feet of office space located in Bend, Oregon. On April 23, 2019, the Company entered into a modified lease agreement (the “Additional Bend Lease”) to lease an additional 1,389 square feet of office space, commencing on May 1, 2019, located in Bend, Oregon. On November 17, 2021, the Company entered into a lease agreement to extend the term of Bend Lease and the Additional Bend Lease to June 30, 2022 and to further extend the term either (1) until June 30, 2027 if FDA approval of ACER-001 is received in June 2022, or (2) until June 30, 2025 if FDA approval of ACER-001 is not received in June 2022.

The leases for the Newton and Bend office space are classified as operating leases. The leases contain immaterial provisions for rent holidays and rent escalations over the term of the leases, which have been included in the Company’s right of use asset and lease liabilities. In the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company recorded a non-cash transaction to recognize an additional $0.4 million right of use asset and lease liability in conjunction with the modifications to the leases. The Company’s lease liability as of December 31, 2020 represents the net present value of future lease payments utilizing a discount rate of 8%. The Company’s lease liability as of December 31, 2021 represents the net present value of future lease payments utilizing discount rates of 8% to 10%, which correspond to the Company’s incremental borrowing rates as of the effective dates of the leases. As of December 31, 2021, the weighted average remaining lease term was 2.8 years. For each of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company recorded expense of $0.3 million related to the leases and made cash payments of $0.3 million for amounts included in the measurement of lease liabilities. The Company is therefore reporting a right-of-use asset

of $0.4 million in Other non-current assets and lease liabilities totaling $0.4 million in Other current liabilities and Other non-current liabilities as of December 31, 2021.
