OPERATING LEASES

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2023

The Company leases office space in various locations in Alabama, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Maryland, Mississippi, and Washington. These leases have terms expiring from 2023 through 2029 but do contain optional extension terms. Leases with an initial term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet; we recognize lease expense for these leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

On April 30, 2023, the company terminated its lease agreement for approximately 12,500 square feet of office space in Plymouth, Minnesota. Pursuant to a Termination of Lease Agreement dated April 18, 2023, the Company paid $1.1 million to the landlord as consideration for the early termination. In connection with the lease termination, the Company derecognized the assets and liabilities associated with the operating lease and recorded a $0.1 million loss on the disposal of leasehold improvement.
