Operating Leases

In June 2015, the Company executed a noncancelable operating lease for approximately 13,000 square feet of laboratory, research and development, and office space in Cranbury, New Jersey. This location operated as the Company's headquarters until March 2023.

In June 2017, the Company obtained an additional noncancelable operating lease for approximately 6,000 square feet of laboratory space in the same corporate center. As a result of the additional space, both leases were set to expire in June 2022. In January 2022, the Company signed a lease extension for both leases for up to one additional year through June 2023, with the option to terminate upon 120 days of written notice, with an increase in base rent as per the lease extension.

In August 2018, the Company executed two noncancelable operating leases. One lease for approximately 6,000 square feet for vivarium, laboratory and general office space in South Brunswick, New Jersey. The lease was set to expire in July 2022. In January 2022, the Company signed a lease extension for up to one additional year through July 2023, with the option to terminate upon 120 days of written notice, with an increase in base rent as per the lease extension. The second lease is for office space in Lexington, Massachusetts, that expires August 2023, with an option to renew for a one-time, three-year extension.

In January 2021, the Company signed a lease for 50,581 square feet of office and laboratory space at One Research Way in Princeton, New Jersey. That lease term extends through 2032, has a five-year extension option, and replaced the Company’s two existing facilities as the Company’s headquarters in March 2023. Payment under this lease will total $19,889 through May 2032. The Company received a lease incentive of $4,046 from the lessor for a buildout of laboratory, vivarium, and office space, to be reimbursed to the Company in 2022 and 2023. Management estimated the timing and amounts of reimbursements and included them as a reduction of lease payments when initially measuring the lease liability and right-of-use asset upon commencement. Since the inception date of the lease, $2,969 reimbursements were received. For the six months ended June 30, 2023, no reimbursements were received.
