Valion Bio, Inc. Commitments Disclosure

Lease

The Company executed a noncancelable operating lease for approximately 9,091 square feet of office space in Hayward, California in November 2021 as its headquarters. The lease was set to expire in October 2025. The Company was obligated to pay, on a pro-rata basis, real estate taxes and operating costs related to the premises. Upon lease execution, the Company evaluated the lease and determined it should be capitalized as an operating lease. As there was no interest rate implicit in the lease, the Company estimated the incremental borrowing rate at 6% based on the rate available under its revolving credit line, as well as an assessment of the Company’s risk based on its financial position at the time and its potential to obtain a collateralized loan for a period similar to the lease term. The lease was terminated effective May 31, 2024. The Company incurred termination fees of $77 thousand, which were partially offset by a remaining security deposit of $16 thousand. The Company recorded a loss of $60 thousand in connection with the lease termination, which is included in general and administrative expense in the statement of operations.

Cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities were $87 thousand and $206 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, which is included in operating activities in the statements of cash flow.

In June 2024, the Company entered into a short-term rental agreement for office space located in Fremont, California. The Company evaluated the agreement and determined the short-term rental agreement does not meet the criteria for capitalization. Monthly rent payments required are $1 thousand per month and the agreement terminated on December 1, 2024. After expiration of the initial term, the agreement automatically renewed on a month to month basis until terminated by either party upon 30 days' advance written notice.

ALOM Fulfillment Service Agreement

On November 25, 2022, the Company entered into a Fulfillment Services Agreement (the “ALOM Agreement”), with ALOM Technologies Corporation (“ALOM”). Pursuant to the ALOM Agreement, commencing on November 28, 2022, ALOM began providing, on a non-exclusive basis, certain assembly, procurement, storage, returns, and fulfillment services to our end customers and retailers within the United States. During the term of the ALOM Agreement, ALOM shall provide the services in accordance with purchase orders issued by us from time to time. The consideration payable by us to ALOM for services rendered under the ALOM Agreement will be calculated and invoiced based on fixed hourly rates and fixed unit pricing, as applicable, subject to certain exceptions; provided that, commencing April 1, 2023, we became subject to $25 thousand minimum monthly purchase requirement. The ALOM Agreement had a three-year initial term, with automatic annual renewals, and could be terminated for convenience by either party upon sixty days written notice to the other party. On March 5, 2024, the ALOM Agreement was amended to waive hourly account management charges and minimum monthly purchase requirements for the period from January 2024 through June 2024, and to extend the initial term of the agreement to December 31, 2024. The ALOM Agreement was terminated effective August 1, 2024. The Company terminated the Agreement for convenience, in accordance with the terms of the ALOM Agreement, in furtherance of its efforts to continue to reduce both direct and indirect costs associated with product manufacturing and distribution. The Company did not incur any material early termination penalties in connection with the termination of the ALOM Agreement. The Company is now utilizing third-party logistics and storage services from alternate suppliers without material minimums and has established in-house assembly and testing capabilities. The Company completed the transition with no disruptions to service and expects current capacity will be sufficient to meet demand for the foreseeable future.
