The facility lease agreement for Epalinges, Switzerland, is automatically renewed month by month with a notice period of three months. The related rent is paid monthly in the amount of €4 and is considered a short-term lease. As the term is less than twelve months, the lease is outside of the scope of ASC 842 and not accounted for on the balance sheet due to the Company’s policy elections.

ASU 201602 and ASU 201811— Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 201602, Leases (“ASU 201602”) required the recognition of right-of-use lease assets relate primarily to the Company’s leases of office and laboratory space. Right-of-use lease assets initially equal the lease liability. The lease liability equals the present value of the minimum rental payments due under the lease discounted at the rate implicit in the lease or the Company’s incremental borrowing rate for similar collateral. For operating leases, lease liabilities were discounted at the Company’s weighted average incremental borrowing rate for similar collateral estimated to be 5% and the weighted average lease term is 2 years. For operating leases, rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease and is recorded in “General and administrative” in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, the Company recognized -€3 and -€3, respectively, in “General and administrative” in its consolidated statement of operations relating to operating leases as a result of the right-of-use lease assets write off.
