Leases

The Company’s leases are comprised of operating leases for office and lab space.

In November 2021, the Company entered into an office and lab space lease approximating 9,360 of rentable square feet for designated office and lab spaces located at 7171 Frederick-Banting, City of Montreal, judicial district of Montreal, Province of Quebec. The leased commenced in November 2021 and had an initial term of 12 months that would have expired on October 31, 2022, and includes options to renew for consecutive twelve-month periods upon landlord consent at new lease rates. As the Company has elected

to not recognize leases with a lease term of 12 months or less on the balance sheet, this was considered a short-term lease, and no operating lease right of use assets and liabilities were recognized. In October 2022, the Company entered into a lease amendment to extend the lease for an additional term of six months through April 2023, with an option to extend the lease through September 2023. In April 2023, the Company extended the lease through September 2023. The lease was further extended through November 5, 2023, at which time the Company vacated the lease.

On December 29, 2022, the Company signed a lease for approximately 10,620 square feet of new laboratory and office space at 4868 Rue Levy, Montreal, QC. The term of the lease is for 10 years, beginning on the commencement date, and requires an annual initial base rent of $36.50 CAD per square foot, which is subject to annual increases of 2%. The lease commenced in November 2023. Upon commencement the Company recognized an initial lease liability and corresponding right of use asset of $1.4 million.

On January 1, 2024, the Company entered into a lease agreement, in which the Company is sub-leasing approximately 6,450 square feet of office space located at 200 Fifth Avenue, Waltham, MA. The Company will make an aggregate amount of base rental payments of $0.5 million under the initial term of the lease, which is set to expire on December 30, 2026 and does not have an option to renew. Upon commencement, the Company recognized an initial lease liability and corresponding right of use asset of $0.4 million.
