Facility Lease Agreements

 

We lease laboratory and office space under non-cancellable operating agreements. In March 2021, we entered into a ten-year lease agreement, which superseded and replaced our prior lease, as amended, for our corporate headquarters and the new lease included additional office and laboratory space located within the same building in Berkeley, California. This lease agreement contains a renewal option for an additional term of five years. In addition to base rent, we pay our share of operating expenses and taxes.

 

In January 2022, we entered into a ten-and-a-half-year lease agreement for approximately 10,000 square feet of office and laboratory space in Berkeley, California near our current corporate headquarters. In connection with signing this lease, we paid a deposit in the amount of $0.4 million to the lessor. This lease agreement contains an escalation clause for increased base rent over the term and a renewal option for an additional term of five years. In addition to base rent, we pay our share of operating expenses and taxes. To complete certain leasehold improvements, the lessor has agreed to provide us a tenant improvement allowance of $1.8 million. The leasehold improvements constructed are presented under property and equipment on our condensed consolidated balance sheets and are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.

 

The components of lease costs, which are included in our statements of operations and comprehensive loss, are as follows (in thousands):

Capital Lease

 

We accounted for certain leased equipment as a capital lease due to the ownership of such equipment transferring to us at the end of the lease term. As of December 31, 2021, the capital lease obligation was repaid in full and we do not have any remaining future minimum lease payments related to this capital lease.

 

Research and Development Agreements

 

We enter into various agreements in the ordinary course of business, such as those with suppliers, contract research organizations (“CROs”), contract manufacturing organizations (“CMOs”), clinical trial sites, and the like. These agreements provide for termination at the request of either party, generally with less than one-year notice and are, therefore, cancellable contracts and, if cancelled, are not anticipated to have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.

Guarantees and Indemnifications

In the normal course of business, we enter into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for certain indemnifications by us. Our exposure under these agreements is unknown because claims may be made against us in the future. To date, we have not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to our indemnification obligations. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, we did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible, and consequently, we have not recorded related liabilities.

Litigation

From time to time, we may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability for such matters when it is probable that future losses will be incurred and if such losses can be reasonably estimated. Significant judgment by us is required to determine both probability and the estimated amount. We are not currently subject to any material legal proceedings, and we are not aware of any unasserted claims pending that could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.
