Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]

Operating Leases

In August 2016, the Company entered into a five-year lease for office space in Boulder, Colorado that expires on October 31, 2021 (the “Boulder Lease”) subject to the Company’s option to renew the Boulder Lease for two additional terms of three years each. Pursuant to the Boulder Lease, the Company leased 3,038 square feet of space in a multi-suite building. Rent payments under the Boulder Lease included base rent of $4,430 per month during the first year of the Boulder Lease with an annual increase of 3.5%, and additional monthly fees to cover the Company’s share of certain facility expenses, including utilities, property taxes, insurance, and maintenance, which were $2,160 per month during the first year of the Boulder Lease.

The Company recognized a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on January 1, 2019, by calculating the present value of lease payments, discounted at 12.0%, the Company’s estimated incremental borrowing rate, over the 2.8 years expected remaining term. As the Company’s lease does not provide an implicit rate, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate based on industry peers. Industry peers consist of several public companies in the biotechnology industry with comparable characteristics, including clinical trials progress and therapeutic indications. Amortization of the operating lease right-of-use asset for the Boulder Lease amounted to $19 thousand and $37 thousand for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively, which was included in operating expense. As of June 30, 2020, the remaining lease term was 1.3 years.

The terms of the Boulder Lease provide for rental payments on a monthly basis on a graduated scale. Lease expense for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $18 thousand and $32 thousand, respectively. Lease expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 was $41 thousand and $60 thousand, respectively.

The following is a summary of the contractual obligations related to operating lease commitments as of June 30, 2020 and the effect such obligations are expected to have on the Company’s liquidity and cash flows in future periods (in thousands):

Amended and Restated License Agreement with Bodor

In February 2020, the Company, together with Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor Laboratories, Inc. and Dr. Nicholas S. Bodor (collectively, “Bodor”) entered into an amended and restated license agreement (the “Amended and Restated License Agreement”). The Amended and Restated License Agreement supersedes the License Agreement, dated December 15, 2012, entered into between Brickell Subsidiary and Bodor, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to License Agreement, effective as of October 21, 2013, and Amendment No. 2 to License Agreement, effective as of March 31, 2015.

The Amended and Restated License Agreement retains with the Company a worldwide, exclusive license to develop, manufacture, market, sell and sublicense products containing the proprietary compound sofpironium bromide based upon the patents referenced in the Amended and Restated License Agreement for a defined field of use. In exchange for entering into the Amended and Restated License Agreement, settling the previously disclosed dispute, and resolving the associated litigation between the Company and Bodor, the Company made an upfront payment of $1.0 million in cash to Bodor following the execution of the Amended and Restated License Agreement and the settlement agreement by and among the Company, Brickell Subsidiary, Inc., and Bodor, dated February 17, 2020. Additionally, under the original License Agreement and the Amended and Restated License Agreement, the Company is required to pay Bodor (i) a royalty on sales of product outside Kaken’s territory, including a low single-digit royalty on sales of certain product not covered by the patent estate licensed from Bodor; (ii) a specified percentage of all royalties the Company receives from Kaken for sales of product within its territory; (iii) a percentage of non-royalty sublicensing income the Company receives from Kaken or other sublicensees; and (iv) up to an aggregate of $1.8 million (plus an additional $0.1 million for approvals of additional products) in cash

payments and $1.5 million of shares of the Company’s common stock upon the achievement of certain development, regulatory and other milestones, including the enrollment of the first patient in the U.S. Phase 3 trials. During the three months ended June 30, 2020, based on the foregoing, the Company made a $0.5 million milestone payment to Bodor following the closing of the public offering in June 2020 and accrued an additional $1.0 million related to its plan to initiate its U.S. Phase 3 pivotal program in the fourth quarter of 2020. As a result, the Company recorded $1.5 million as research and development expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations during the three months ended June 30, 2020.
