The Company received $617,000 as a construction allowance to build out the office space to the Company’s specifications. The Company is required to pay certain operating expenses for the leased premises based on its pro-rata share of such expenses for the entire rentable space of the building.

There are no obligations under capital leases as of December 31, 2017, as all of the capital leases were single payment obligations which have all been made.

Collaborations and Licenses

The Company is contractually obligated to make potential future success‑based regulatory milestone payments in conjunction with certain collaborative agreements. These payments are contingent upon the occurrence of certain future events and, given the nature of these events, it is unclear when, if ever, the Company may be required to pay such amounts. Further, the timing of any future payment is not reasonably estimable. As of December 31, 2017, the maximum amount that may be payable in the future under the Company’s current collaborative agreements is $80 million.  

Manufacturing Commitments

As of December 31, 2017, the Company has noncancelable obligations under several agreements related to in-process and future manufacturing of antibody and cytotoxic agents required for clinical supply of the Company’s product candidates totaling $3.5 million, all of which will be paid in calendar 2018.

In 2017, the Company executed a letter agreement with one of its antibody manufacturers to reserve capacity through calendar 2021. The total commitment over the five-year term of the agreement is €46.2 million, however only €13.9 million euros is noncancelable at December 31, 2017.

The Company is not party to any material litigation.
