Lease Agreements

In January 2022, the Company entered into a lease agreement for approximately 18,614 square feet of office and laboratory space in Boulder, Colorado (the New Boulder Lease) with aggregate base rent payments of approximately $3.3 million over the initial 8.2-year term of the lease. Further, the Company provided a standby letter of credit (LOC) of $0.8 million during the term of the lease as collateral for the Company’s obligations under the lease. The New Boulder Lease includes two tenant improvement allowances, which includes one for $1.0 million in construction costs to be fully reimbursed by the lessor (the First Allowance) and one for $2.0 million in construction costs to be repaid to the lessor as additional rent payments over the initial term of the lease (the Second Allowance). Both the First Allowance and Second Allowance have been received in full. The receipt of $2.0 million under the Second Allowance resulted in an increase to operating lease liabilities and an increase to aggregate base rent payments totaling $2.5 million.

In February 2023, the New Boulder Lease was modified to occupy an additional 9,624 square feet of office space (the Expansion Space) with aggregate payments of approximately $1.5 million over the initial 7.3 year term of the lease. The Expansion space includes an improvement allowance in the amount of $0.5 million to be fully reimbursed by the lessor. The allowance associated with the expansion space has been received in full.

Under the New Boulder Lease and the Expansion Space (collectively, the Lease), the Company has the option to extend the Lease for two additional terms of five years each. The Company is obligated to pay the lessor an amount not to exceed 5% of the net rents from the property for operating costs. Such amounts are not included in the measurement of the lease liabilities and are recognized as variable lease expense when they are incurred. Variable lease expense was $0.4 million, $0.5 million, and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The Lease is classified as an operating lease.

The Company recorded lease liabilities and ROU lease assets for the Lease based on the present value of lease payments over the expected lease term, discounted using the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The option to extend the Lease was not recognized as part of the Company’s lease liabilities and ROU lease assets, as such extensions are not reasonably certain to occur. As of December 31, 2025, the weighted-average remaining lease term and the weighted-average discount rate for the Lease was 4.3 years and 6.5%, respectively. Rent expense under the Lease was $0.5 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023.

Future minimum lease payments under the Lease as of December 31, 2025 are as follows (in thousands):

Litigation

Liabilities for loss contingencies arising from claims, assessments, litigation, fines, penalties and other sources are recorded when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company was not subject to any material legal proceedings during the year ended December 31, 2025 and no material legal proceedings are currently pending or threatened.

Indemnification Agreements

In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to vendors, lessors, business partners and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising from breach of such agreements or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not aware of any claims under indemnification arrangements, and it has not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its financial statements as of December 31, 2025.
