Leases

 

Lessee:

 

The following information pertains to those operating lease agreements where the Company is the lessee.

 

On February 1, 2017, the Company entered into a sublease agreement (the “Sublease”) for approximately 12,400 square feet of building space for the relocation of the Company’s corporate headquarters to Englewood, Colorado (the “Sublease Premises”), which was effective as of January 26, 2017. The lease term commenced on June 1, 2017 and was to terminate in May 2020. In November 2019, the Company exercised the option to extend the lease for one year through May 2021. The Company relocated its corporate headquarters from Sunnyvale, California to Englewood, Colorado in June 2017.

 

The monthly base rent under the Sublease was equal to $20.50 per rentable square foot of the Sublease Premises during the first year. The monthly base rent was equal to $21.12 and $21.75 per rentable square foot during the second and third years, respectively. In connection with the execution of the Sublease, the Company also agreed to pay a security deposit of approximately $22,000. The Company was also provided an allowance of approximately $88,000 for certain tenant improvements relating to the engineering, design and construction of the Sublease Premises which has been reimbursed. 

 

In March 2021, the Company amended the Sublease for its office building space. The lease term was extended for a period of 34 months and will terminate on March 31, 2024.  The monthly gross rent for the first, second and third years of the lease extension is $21,028, $21,643 and $22,258 per month, respectively. The Company was also provided a rent abatement for the month of June 2021. Additionally, the sublandlord agreed to perform certain construction, repair, maintenance or other tenant improvements to the Subleased Premises with estimated costs of approximately $19,000.

 

In September 2018, the Company entered into a 36-month noncancelable operating lease agreement for office equipment.  The lease commenced in September 2018 and it was terminated in November 2020.  The monthly lease payment was approximately $3,000. 

 

In October 2020, the Company entered into a new 36-month noncancelable operating lease agreement for office equipment.  The lease term commenced in December 2020 and will terminate in December 2023.  The monthly lease payment is approximately $2,000. 

 

Operating lease rentals are expensed on a straight-line basis over the life of the lease beginning on the date the Company takes possession of the property. At lease inception, the Company determines the lease term by assuming the exercise of those renewal options that are reasonably assured. The lease term is used to determine whether a lease is financing or operating and is used to calculate straight-line rent expense. Additionally, the depreciable life of leasehold improvements is limited by the expected lease term. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
