Leases

The Company currently occupies two leased properties, both of which serve as administrative office space. The Company determined that both leases are operating leases based on the lease classification test performed at lease commencement.

The annual base rent for the Company's office located in Rockville, Maryland is $0.2 million, subject to annual 2.5% increases over the term of the lease. The lease provided for a rent abatement for a period of 12 months following the Company's date of occupancy. The lease has an initial term of ten years from the date the Company makes its first annual fixed rent payment, which occurred in January 2020. The Company has the option to extend the lease two times, each for a period of five years, and may terminate the lease as of the sixth anniversary of the first annual fixed rent payment, upon the payment of a termination fee.

The Company subleased additional administrative office space in Chesterbrook, Pennsylvania with an annual base rent of $0.3 million through November 2021. The Company subsequently entered into a lease for administrative office space in Chesterbook Pennsylvania that commenced on December 1, 2021 (the “New Chesterbrook Lease”). The annual base rent for the New Chesterbrook Lease is $0.2 million and the annual operating expenses are approximately $0.1 million. The annual base rent is subject to periodic increases of approximately 2.4% over the term of the lease. The lease provides for a rent abatement period of 3 months following lease commencement. The lease has an initial term of 5.25 years from the lease commencement.

The weighted average remaining term of the operating leases at December 31, 2021 was 6.5 years.
