In August 2024, the Company entered into a Lease Termination Agreement with 101 College Street LLC (the "Landlord"). Under the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement, the lease, by and between the Company and the Landlord, dated May 4, 2021 (as amended, the "Terminated Lease"), for certain leased premises of approximately 160,000 square feet of laboratory and office space, was terminated in full, effective August 15, 2024. The leased premises were expected to be occupied by the Company in 2025. In connection with the Lease Termination Agreement and as consideration for the Landlord’s agreement to terminate the lease for its laboratory and office space at 101 College Street in full, the Company agreed to pay to the Landlord a one-time cash termination fee in the amount of $41.5 million and wrote-off $1.9 million of prepaid rent, both of which were recognized in general and administrative operating expenses on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company also cancelled its previously issued letter of credit in the amount of $5.5 million.
The Company has operating leases for its corporate office, laboratories and certain equipment, which expire no later than December 2029. The leases have a weighted-average remaining term of 4.0 years.

About Leases Disclosures

Lease disclosures under ASC 842 provide a comprehensive view of a company's leased asset portfolio, including the split between operating and finance leases, discount rates used to present-value future payments, and the maturity schedule of lease obligations. This section reveals a significant source of off-balance-sheet commitments that were largely hidden before the current standard.

Key signals: the weighted-average discount rate affects the size of recorded lease liabilities — a higher rate reduces the reported obligation, so compare the chosen rate against the company's incremental borrowing rate. The operating versus finance lease mix affects both EBITDA and operating income presentation. Watch the maturity table for concentration risk: large payment cliffs in specific years may create cash flow pressure. Variable lease payments excluded from the liability measurement represent real obligations that do not appear on the balance sheet. Compare total lease costs against prior-year operating lease expense to assess the true economic burden.
