Operating Leases
2015 Lease
            
Effective January 30, 2015, Private Evofem entered into a sublease for office space under a noncancelable lease agreement that expires in March 2020 (the 2015 Lease), which is the Company’s primary office space. The sublease provides for two renewal periods of five years each, but the sub-lessor is not expected to renew its lease. In lieu of paying a security deposit directly to the sub-lessor, the Company maintains a time deposit in favor of the sub-lessor (the Deposit), which is included in restricted cash in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During months 13 through 58 of the 2015 Lease term, subject to certain restrictions, approximately $5,000 of the Deposit may be released each month through November 2019 and approximately $66,000 of the Deposit may be released each month between December 2019 and March 2020. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, restricted cash maintained as collateral for the Company’s Deposit was $0.3 million for both periods.
Concurrent with the execution of the 2015 Lease, Private Evofem entered into a sublease with WomanCare Global Trading, Inc. (WCGT) whereby WCGT agreed to sublease approximately 25% (subject to annual adjustment), as amended, of the Company’s primary office space aforementioned (the WCG Sublease). The Company remains the primary obligor under the WCG Sublease and records all sublease income as a reduction of rent expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. WCGT paid an initial security deposit of approximately $0.3 million (the WCG Security Deposit). Effective April 1, 2018, the WCG Sublease was reassigned from WCGT to WCG Cares, whereby WCG Cares agreed to pay the Company 20% of the overall lease payment under the 2015 Lease. All terms and conditions remain the same as the original WCG Sublease. The remaining WCG Security Deposit totaled approximately $0.2 million was repaid to WCGT in June 2018. The Company terminated the WCG Sublease in the fourth quarter of 2018. There were no sublease payments received pursuant to the WCG Sublease during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.1 million sublease payments were received for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018.
            
Leased Space
In August 2017, the Company entered into a manufacturing and supply agreement with an outside supplier for non-recoverable expenses incurred by the supplier during non-commercial periods for a term of one year from August 2017. This agreement was further renewed by both parties to cover the period from August 2018 to late 2019. Under the agreement, the supplier provides a dedicated packaging space for the Company with a fixed monthly cost. The Company determined that this dedicated space is accounted for as an operating lease under ASC 842 Leases. The lease for this Leased Space expired in September 2019.

Contingencies
From time to time the Company may be involved in various lawsuits, legal proceedings or claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. There were no claims or actions pending against the Company as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which management believes would have, individually or in the aggregate, a material adverse effect on its business, liquidity, financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and an adverse result in these or other matters may arise from time to time that may harm the Company’s business.
Intellectual Property Rights
In 2014, Private Evofem entered into an amended and restated license agreement with Rush University (the Rush License Agreement) pursuant to which Rush University granted Private Evofem an exclusive, worldwide license of certain patents and know-how related to its MVP-R technology authorizing Private Evofem to make, distribute and commercialize products and processes for any and all therapeutic, prophylactic and/or diagnostic uses, including, without limitation, use for female vaginal health and/or birth control.
The Company may be obligated to pay an earned royalty based upon a percentage of net sales in the range of mid-single digits. Commencing on January 1 of year three after a product has received regulatory approval and has been introduced to market, the Company may become obligated to pay minimum annual royalties, to the extent the earned royalty or sublicensing fees, as applicable, do not exceed the minimum annual royalties.
In October 2015, the Company’s subsidiaries, ENA and EP entered into separate sublicense agreements (the Sublicenses) with WomanCare Global Trading CIC (WCGCIC) for a contraceptive vaginal ring. In August 2016, ENA, EP and WCGCIC entered into a side letter to modify the timing of the 2016 and 2017 payments due under the Sublicenses. On an aggregate basis, consideration under the Sublicenses consisted of (i) payments or potential payments to the licensor of (a) an upfront payment of $10.0 million, (b) potential regulatory and commercial milestone payments up to $32.0 million, (c) potential royalty payments on net product sales and (d) potential royalty payments on net sales of an equivalent generic product and (ii) $5.0 million in annual sublicense fees through October 1, 2019 to WCGCIC. In December 2016, under the terms of the Sublicenses, ENA and EP provided 90-days written notice of termination of the Sublicenses to WCGCIC, which period concluded on March 28, 2017.
During the quarter ended March 31, 2019, the Sublicenses were reassigned to WCG Cares, upon which, the unpaid sublicense fees ceased accruing interest and all accrued sublicense fees and interest expense of $1.3 million were transferred and became payable to WCG Cares. During the quarter ended September 30, 2019, the Company and WCG Cares entered into a settlement agreement, whereby the Company paid $1.0 million to WCG Cares to settle the entire outstanding balance. The Company recorded the difference of $0.3 million as a concession recorded within other income (expense) in its condensed consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2018, the Company had accrued sublicense fees and accrued interest expense on unpaid sublicense fees of approximately $1.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, which are included in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. No such amount was outstanding as of September 30, 2019 due to the settlement. See Note 7 – Related-party Transactions for a summary of the Company’s transactions with WCGCIC, WomanCare Global International, a non-profit organization registered in England and Wales (WCGI) and related entities, and WCG Cares.
