Lite Strategy, Inc. Leases Disclosure

Note 9. Leases

In July 2020, we entered into a lease agreement for approximately 32,800 square feet of office space in San Diego, California. The lease agreement contained rent escalations over the lease term and was originally scheduled to expire in March 2028. We accounted for the lease agreement as an operating lease. The lease agreement contained an option to renew and extend the lease term, which was not included in the determination of the ROU asset and operating lease liability, as it was not reasonably certain to be exercised. In July 2022, we amended the lease to extend the lease termination date from March 2028 to November 30, 2029 and to add an additional 12,300 square feet of office space adjacent to our current office in San Diego (the Amended Lease). Upon commencement of the Amended Lease, we recognized an additional ROU asset and a corresponding operating lease liability of $4.3 million. The Amended Lease includes variable non-lease components (e.g., common area maintenance, maintenance, etc.) that are not included in the ROU asset and operating lease liability and are reflected as an expense in the period incurred as a component of the lease cost.

Lease Termination

On June 18, 2024 (the Agreement Date), we entered into a lease termination agreement (Agreement) with our landlord pursuant to which the parties agreed to terminate, as of September 30, 2024, the lease for our existing office space. The original (as amended) scheduled expiration date was November 30, 2029. As consideration for the Agreement, we agreed to pay the landlord a termination fee of approximately $11.1 million (the Termination Fee) and to prepay the remaining rent due under the Agreement in the amount of approximately $0.2 million (the Remaining Rent) and sell all the furniture and fixtures to the landlord for $1.00 (see Property and Equipment within Note 3. Balance Sheet Details for further discussion on the impact of the Agreement on our property and equipment). During fiscal year 2025, we received our security deposit from the landlord, which was previously classified as a component of prepaid and other current assets.

The Agreement was accounted for as a lease modification of the original contract. As a result of the Agreement, we reduced both the remaining ROU asset and lease liability by approximately $22,000, resulting in no impact to our consolidated statements of operations. We reassessed the lease classification, as of the Agreement Date, noting the current classification as an operating lease remained appropriate. Both the Termination Fee and the Remaining Rent were paid prior to June 30, 2025. Subsequent to the payment of both the Termination Fee and the Remaining Rent, our lease liability was relieved and the balance was reduced to zero.

We incurred direct costs of approximately $0.2 million in connection with the Agreement which accordingly was recorded to the ROU assets as a direct cost of modifying the Agreement. As of the Agreement Date, we determined a triggering event, in accordance with ASC 360, had occurred and therefore completed an impairment analysis on its ROU asset resulting in an impairment charge of approximately $10.4 million being recorded in our consolidated statements of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024.

During the year ended June 30, 2025, we had no supplemental cash flow activity. Supplemental cash flow information related to our operating leases for the year ended June 30, 2024 was as follows, in thousands:

As of June 30, 2024, we had no remaining future minimum rental payments for our operating leases and the remaining ROU asset balance was $0.2 million. During fiscal year 2024, the ROU asset balance was increased by approximately $0.2 million related to direct costs associated with the Agreement. Additionally, the ROU asset balance was decreased by: (1) approximately $22,000 associated with our reassessment of the lease liability as of the Agreement date and (2) $10.4 million associated with the impairment of the ROU asset, as discussed above. As of September 30, 2024, we had vacated the facility and the leased property reverted to the landlord. In addition, the ROU asset has been fully amortized.
