The Company enters into lease arrangements for its facilities as well as certain equipment, classified either as operating or finance leases.

 

The Company has a lease agreement for approximately 33,300 square feet of office space in Seattle, Washington, for the Company’s future principal executive offices, a laboratory for research and development and related uses. In January 2020, the Company issued an irrevocable letter of credit in the amount of $0.5 million for the security deposit in accordance with the terms of the lease. The lease commenced on January 15, 2020 and rent obligations are scheduled to commence on December 1, 2020. The Company will also be responsible for the payment of additional rent to cover the Company’s share of the annual operating and tax expenses and utilities costs for the building. The lease expires on December 1, 2028, with the option to extend the lease for two five-year terms.  The lease provides for a tenant improvement allowance of $8.0 million, which is included in the base rent, and an optional additional tenant improvement allowance with a maximum amount of $1.5 million, which will result, if elected, in additional rent expense recognized over the term of the lease. In September 2020, the Company elected to utilize this additional tenant improvement allowance. This resulted in a remeasurement of the lease liability due to an increase in lease payments over the term of the lease. The Company recorded an increase to the lease liability and related right-of-use asset of $1.0 million. As of September 30, 2020, there was a tenant improvement allowance receivable of $4.2 million recorded in other current assets related to reimbursable build-out costs incurred by the Company, of which $3.9 million were unpaid and recorded in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. In November 2020, the Company executed an amendment to this lease that extends the scheduled rent commencement date to February 1, 2021 and the base term expiration to February 1, 2029. The amendment will not have an impact on total fixed lease payments over the base term. In addition, the amendment did not impact the associated operating lease liability or right-of-use asset as of September 30, 2020, as the event did not exist at, and arose subsequent to, September 30, 2020. 

 

The Company has a lease agreement for approximately 6,272 square feet of office space in Seattle, Washington, for the Company’s principal executive offices, a laboratory for research and development and related uses. In June 2020, the Company executed an amendment to this lease pursuant to which the Company has the option to terminate the lease, without penalty, at any point subsequent to November 1, 2020 with 45 days advance written notice. The Company determined that it is not reasonably certain to not exercise this termination option after December 15, 2020.

On June 30, 2020, the Company terminated its lease agreement for 10,946 square feet of office space in Vancouver, Canada. The lease termination resulted in an extinguishment of the lease liability and the write-off of the related right-of-use asset. After incurring additional expenses included in the termination fee of $0.5 million, the Company recognized a loss of $0.3 million on the termination of the lease, which was recorded in general and administrative expenses in June 2020. In addition, the Company wrote-off leasehold improvements and other property and equipment associated with the lease and incurred a loss on disposal of $0.2 million in June 2020.        

As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s operating lease right-of-use assets were $10.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively.  As of September 30, 2020, and December 31, 2019, the Company’s finance lease right-of-use assets were $0.2 million and $0.3 million, respectively.
