Lease commitments

The Company’s lease portfolio primarily comprises operating leases for office, laboratory, non-good manufacturing practices pilot plant manufacturing, and industrial space. 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. Certain leases include options to extend the term. The renewal option is considered in the remaining lease term for the lease only when the Company is reasonably certain it will renew the lease. 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.

In June 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 79,565 square feet of office, laboratory, and industrial space located in Bothell, Washington. The initial term of the lease is 16 years from the date the premises are delivered to the Company for construction of certain tenant improvements and includes the option to extend the lease for up to three additional five-year terms. The lease agreement also provides for up to $19.9 million for reimbursement of tenant improvements, as well as an additional $8.0 million for tenant improvements, available at the Company’s election, which the Company would be obligated to repay to the landlord monthly over the initial term of the lease with interest at a rate of 6.5% per annum. The Company is obligated to pay base rent of approximately $68.8 million over the initial term of the lease. In accordance with the lease agreement, the Company has obtained a letter of credit in the amount of $1.6 million. The Company will recognize the right-of-use asset and lease liability when the lease commences in January 2023.

In July 2021, the Company entered into a lease for industrial space located in Fremont, California (the Fremont facility), with the intent to establish and develop its manufacturing operations at the Fremont facility. However, the Company determined in June 2022 to establish and develop its manufacturing operations at the Bothell facility rather than the Fremont facility. The original right-of-use asset and lease liability for the Fremont facility was calculated assuming the Company would exercise its option to renew the lease for two additional five-year terms. The Company remeasured the lease for the Fremont facility due to the shorter expected lease term, which resulted in a $12.8 million reduction in the related right-of-use asset and lease liability. Additionally, for the twelve months ended December 30, 2022, the Company wrote-off $4.5 million of construction in progress costs incurred in connection with the Fremont facility in general and administrative expense.

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.
