Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability

7. Right of Use Asset and Lease Liability

The Company has a material operating lease for its head office facility located in Boston, Massachusetts and other immaterial operating leases for certain equipment.  On May 2, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to amend the current operating lease agreement for its head office facility. Under the amendment, the current lease was extended for five years through July 31, 2030, with $5.7 million committed to future lease payments.  The Company acquired Right of Use Assets of $3.1 million under the amended operating lease.

The Company measured the lease liability associated with the office lease modification using an incremental borrowing rate (“IBR”) of 13%.  The Company estimated the IBR for the leased asset based on a range of comparable interest rates the Company would incur to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar economic environment.  As of September 30, 2024, the Company has not entered into any lease arrangements classified as a finance lease.

Rent expense, or operating lease costs, was $302, $908, $280 and $867, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2024 and 2023.

Supplemental cash flow information related to the Company’s lease for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, includes cash payments of $636 and $623, respectively, used in the measurement of its operating lease liability.  As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s operating lease liability has a weighted average remaining lease term of approximately five years.
