With this amendment, the existing lease expires in August 2026. Total lease payments over the life of this amended lease are approximately $0.9 million. Variable lease payments include the Company’s allocated share of costs incurred and expenditures made by the landlord in the operation and management of the building. On February 1, 2021, the lease commencement date, the Company recorded an operating lease right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability of $0.7 million. In January 2021, the Company also entered into a new lease to acquire approximately 5,800 square feet of research and office space in Valbonne, France, which expires in January 2030.

Pursuant to the terms of the amended lease, the landlord agreed to reimburse the Company up to $2.6 million, related to a tenant improvement allowance. Certain of these leases include renewal options at the election of the Company to renew or extend the lease for an additional five to ten years.
