Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Fair Value Measurement | NOTE 2 – FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENT The Company measures certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and the free share asset/liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in the valuation methodologies in measuring fair value as follows: Level 1: Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities; Level 2: Quoted prices in markets that are not active, or inputs which are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability; and Level 3: Prices or valuation techniques that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable (i.e. supported by little or no market activity). The fair value measurements of the Company’s cash equivalents, available-for-sale securities and the free share asset/liability are identified at the following levels within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands):

Cash Equivalents and Marketable Securities The Company generally classifies its marketable securities and some cash equivalents as Level 2. Instruments are classified as Level 2 when observable market prices for identical securities that are traded in less active markets are used. When observable market prices for identical securities are not available, such instruments are priced using benchmark curves, benchmarking of like securities, sector groupings, matrix pricing and valuation models. These valuation models are proprietary to the pricing providers or brokers and incorporate a number of inputs, including in approximate order of priority: benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, offers and reference data including market research publications. For certain security types, additional inputs may be used, or some of the standard inputs may not be applicable. Evaluators may prioritize inputs differently on any given day for any security based on market conditions, and not all inputs listed are available for use in the evaluation process for each security evaluation on any given day. Free Shares Asset/Liability As a result of the July 20, 2018 Share Purchase Agreement (“Sangamo France SPA”) to acquire Sangamo France (see Note 5 – Acquisition of Sangamo France), the Company entered into arrangements with the holders of approximately 477,000 “free shares” of Sangamo France pursuant to which the Company has the right to purchase such shares from the holders (a call option) and such holders have the right to sell to the Company such shares from time to time through mid-2021 (a put option). The Company initially recorded a liability of $0.2 million on the acquisition date. The put options were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy as the Company utilized a binomial-lattice pricing model (the “Monte Carlo simulation model”) that involved certain market conditions to estimate the fair value of the options. The assumptions used in this simulation model are reviewed on a quarterly basis and adjusted, as needed. Subsequent changes in the fair value of the free shares are recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the year, the Company purchased approximately 111,000 shares of the 477,000 total free shares for a cash payment of approximately $0.3 million upon exercise of the put options. As of December 31, 2019, approximately 366,000 free shares remain outstanding and subject to purchase by the Company. The free shares liability was approximately $0.2 million at December 31, 2018 and the Company recognized a gain due to an increase in the fair value of the free shares of approximately $0.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, offset by approximately $0.1 million for the shares purchased during the year, bringing the balance to an asset of approximately $0.2 million at December 31, 2019.
