Lease Agreements

In August 2016, the Company entered into a lease agreement for office and lab space, which consists of approximately 32,813 square feet of rental space in South San Francisco, California. The office space lease is classified as an operating lease. The initial lease term commenced in May 2017 and ends in April 2025, with rent payments escalating each year. The Company has options to extend the lease for additional years, but the exercise of the option was not reasonably certain. In connection with the lease, the Company maintains a letter of credit for the benefit of the landlord in the amount of $0.4 million, which is recorded as restricted cash in the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In January 2020, the Company entered into a lease agreement for a term of 18 months commencing June 2020 for approximately 6,478 square feet of office space. This office space lease, which was amended in September 2021, was classified as an operating lease and expired in June 2022.
