NOTE 8. LEASES

Leases

In April 2019, the Company entered into a lease for its corporate headquarters in Pasadena, California.  The 91 month office building lease between the Company and 177 Colorado Owner, LLC is for approximately 24,000 square feet of office space located at 177 E. Colorado Blvd, Pasadena, California.  The increased capacity of this new office space compared to the Company’s prior corporate headquarters will accommodate increased personnel as the Company’s pipeline of drug candidates expands and moves closer to market. Lease payments began on September 30, 2019 and are estimated to total approximately $8.7 million over the term.  The lease expires on April 30, 2027. The Company has paid approximately $3.5 million for leasehold improvements, net of tenant improvement allowances.  The lease contains an option to renew for one term of five years. The exercise of this option was not determined to be reasonably certain and thus was not included in lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020. 

In January 2016, the Company entered into a lease for its research facility in Madison, Wisconsin.  The lease was for approximately 60,000 square feet of office and laboratory space and had an expiration date of September 30, 2026. The lease was amended in January 2019 to expand the rentable square feet by an additional 14,000 square feet and to extend the lease expiration date to September 2029. In May 2020, the Company further amended the lease to increase the rentable square feet by an additional 26,000 square feet and extended the lease expiration date to September 30, 2031.  Lease payments are estimated to total approximately $26.2 million for the term. The lease contains two options to renew for two terms of five years. The exercise of these options were not determined to be reasonably certain and thus was not included in lease liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet at September 30, 2020.    

 

In March 2020, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) with Halozyme, Inc. for additional research and development facility space in San Diego, California.  The Sublease provides additional space needed to accommodate the recent growth of the Company’s personnel and discovery efforts. The sublease is for approximately 21,000 rentable square feet.  The term of the Sublease commenced on April 1, 2020 and will end on January 14, 2023.  Sublease payments are estimated to total approximately $2.0 million over the term.

Operating lease cost during the years ended September 30, 2020, 2019, and 2018 was $2.4 million, $1.3 million and $1.3 million respectively.  Variable lease costs during the year ended September 30, 2020 were $0.8 million.  There was no short-term lease cost during the years ended September 30, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
