Leases

On May 17, 2018, the Company amended the lease for its headquarters in Watertown, Massachusetts. The original five-year lease for approximately 13,650 square feet of combined office and laboratory space was set to expire in April 2019. Under the amendment, the Company leased an additional 6,590 square feet of rentable area of the building, with a commencement date of September 10, 2018. The amendment extended the term of the lease for the combined space through May 31, 2025. The landlord agreed to provide the Company a construction allowance of up to $670,750 to be applied toward the aggregate work completed on the total space. The Company has an option to further extend the term of the lease for one additional five-year period. Per the terms of the lease agreement, the Company does not have a residual value guarantee. The Company previously provided a cash-collateralized $150,000 irrevocable standby letter of credit as security for the Company’s obligations under the lease, which was extended through the period that is four months beyond the expiration date of the amended lease. The Company will also be required to pay its proportionate share of certain operating costs and property taxes applicable to the leased premises in excess of new base year amounts.

In July 2017, the Company leased approximately 3,000 square feet of office space in Basking Ridge, New Jersey under a lease term extending through June 2022, with two five-year renewal options at 95% of the then-prevailing market rates. In addition to base rent, the Company is obligated to pay its proportionate share of building operating expenses and real estate taxes in excess of base year amounts. In June 2018, the Company subleased an additional 1,381 square feet of adjoining space from Caladrius Biosciences, Inc. (“Caladrius”) through May 2022. The Chief Executive Officer of Caladrius is a director of the Company. Per the terms of the lease and sublease agreements, the Company does not have any residual value guarantees.

The Company identified and assessed the following significant assumptions in recognizing its right-of-use (“ROU”) assets and corresponding lease liabilities:

 

As the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate in calculating the present value of the lease payments. The Company utilized the borrowing rate under its existing 5-year term loan facility (see Note 7) as the discount rate.

 

Since the Company elected to account for each lease component and its associated non-lease components as a single combined component, all contract consideration was allocated to the combined lease component.

 

The expected lease terms include noncancelable lease periods. Renewal option periods have not been included in the determination of the lease terms as they are not deemed reasonably certain of exercise.

 

Variable lease payments, such as common area maintenance, real estate taxes and property insurance are not included in the determination of the lease’s ROU asset or lease liability.

As of June 30, 2020, the weighted average remaining term of the Company’s operating leases was 4.7 years and the lease liabilities arising from obtaining ROU assets reflect a weighted average discount rate of 12.5%.
