Operating Leases

Corporate Headquarters Facility Lease

In May 2022, we entered into a lease (the Lease) with San Diego Creekside, LLC (Landlord), as lessor, pursuant to which we agreed to lease from Landlord approximately 23,696 rentable square feet (subject to increase pursuant to the terms of the Lease) of office and laboratory space. The term of the lease (the Lease Term) commenced on March 20, 2023 (the Lease Commencement Date) and will continue for 124 months from the Lease Commencement Date. We also have one option to extend the Lease Term for five

years. Base rent during such extension period would be at the fair market rent for the Premises (as that term is defined in the Lease). Under the terms of the Lease, the base rent during the first 12 months of the Lease Term was $5.75 per square foot of rentable area per month, and the base rent following the first 12 months of the Lease Term is subject to certain upward adjustments of approximately 3.0% annually. As of March 31, 2024, we received a $5.3 million allowance for tenant improvements, which represents the full allowance to which we were entitled under the Lease. We provided a $0.7 million security deposit in the form of a letter of credit which is included in restricted cash as of March 31, 2024. During the second quarter of 2023, additional common area amenities were completed by the Landlord which provided us with access to an estimated 1,500 additional rentable square feet. In April 2024, we finalized an amendment to the Lease (the Lease Amendment), effective June 2023. The additional rentable square feet was adjusted to 1,170 square feet for a total of 24,866 rentable square feet and our base rent increased for this additional rentable square feet at the same monthly base rent per rentable square foot as contemplated in the Lease.

Future minimum payments under the facility leases and reconciliation to the operating lease liability as of March 31, 2024 were as follows (in thousands):
