Lease commitments

The Company’s lease portfolio is primarily comprised of operating leases for office, laboratory, non-good manufacturing practices (GMP) pilot plant manufacturing, and industrial space located in Seattle, WA, Cambridge, MA, South San Francisco, CA, Fremont, CA, and Rochester, NY.  These leases contain various rent abatement periods, after which they require monthly lease payments that may be subject to annual increases throughout the lease term. The Seattle and South San Francisco lease agreements each provide the Company with the option to renew for an additional period of five years. The Company is not reasonably certain it will renew these leases, and therefore the renewal options are not considered in the remaining lease term for these leases. The industrial space located in Fremont, CA will be used for the construction of a GMP manufacturing facility. The lease agreement initial term is ten years and includes the option to extend for up to two additional five-year terms. The lease for the Company’s Rochester facility includes the option to extend for up to two additional two-year terms. The Company anticipates that it will exercise all options to extend for both the Fremont and Rochester facilities. Certain leases provide the Company with the right to make tenant improvements, including the addition of laboratory space or build-out of manufacturing capabilities, and include a lease incentive allowance.

Throughout the term of the lease agreements, the Company is responsible for paying certain operating costs in addition to rent, such as common area maintenance, taxes, utilities, and insurance. These additional charges are considered variable lease costs and are recognized in the period in which the costs are incurred.
