Commitments And Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] |
Leases, Other Commitments, and Contingencies | 8. LEASES, OTHER COMMITMENTS, AND CONTINGENCIES Litigation and Claims We are not currently a party to any material pending legal proceeding. Leases We lease our headquarters facility, office equipment, and other items. Our headquarters lease involved the sale of land and improvements to a third party who then constructed the facility. This lease is considered a financing lease. Sale-Leaseback of Headquarters and Lab Facility Our headquarters facility is comprised of a 40,000 square-foot office and lab building, greenhouses, and outdoor research plots. We are deemed the owner for accounting purposes. The lease has a term of twenty years with four options to extend its term for five years each subject to there being no default under the lease terms beyond any cure period and us occupying the property at the time of extension. In 2017, we received $7.0 million in connection with the sale of the land and uncompleted facility. The lease commenced in May 2018. Under the lease, we pay an annual base rent of eight percent of the total project cost with scheduled increases in rent of 7.5 percent on the sixth, eleventh and sixteenth anniversaries of the start of the lease commencement as well as on the first day of each renewal term. Currently, we pay an annual base rent of $1.4 million. We are also responsible for all operating costs and expenses associated with the property. Beginning on the eighteenth month anniversary of the start of the lease, if the landlord decides to sell the property, we have a right of first refusal to purchase the property on the same terms offered to any third party. Concurrent with entering the lease, Cellectis guaranteed all our obligations under the lease agreement. Cellectis’ guarantee of our obligations will terminate at the end of the second consecutive calendar year in which our tangible net worth exceeds $300 million, as determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. At a point when Cellectis owns 50 percent or less of our outstanding common stock, we have agreed to indemnify Cellectis for any obligations incurred by Cellectis under its guaranty of our obligations under the lease. Sale-Leaseback of Equipment We also have an equipment financing arrangement that is considered a financing lease. This arrangement had a term of four years for each draw. We were required to deposit cash into a restricted account in an amount equal to the future rent payments required by the lease. As of December 31, 2020, this restricted cash totaled $1.0 million. We have the option to request the return of excess collateral annually in December, and the amount we expect to receive is reflected as a current asset. The equipment financing arrangement allows for a six-month renewal option or a repurchase option at the end of the lease term. Operating Leases As a lessee, we lease office equipment, storage facilities and vehicles under various operating leases. Rent expense from all operating leases was as follows:

Other Commitments As of December 31, 2020, we have noncancelable commitments to purchase grain from farmers and seed from growers at dates throughout 2021 aggregating $21.2 million based on current commodity futures market prices, other payments to growers and estimated yields per acre. This amount is not recorded in the consolidated financial statements because we have not taken delivery of the grain or seed as of December 31, 2020.
