LEASES |
In September 2020, BiomX Israel entered into a lease agreement for office space in Ness Ziona, Israel for five years beginning on September 1, 2020, with an option to extend for an additional period until November 30, 2030. The monthly lease payments under the lease agreement are approximately $56. As part of the agreement, the lessor reimbursed BiomX Israel for costs incurred for leasehold improvements by a pre-defined amount. BiomX Israel will pay back the reimbursed amount with interest during the entire contract term. As a result, the Company recognized a lease incentive asset in an amount of $1,030 that is deducted from the operating lease right-of-use asset. The operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities contemplate the option period. As a part of the agreement, BiomX Israel provided a bank guarantee to the landlord in the amount of approximately $257, representing four monthly lease and related payments.
In August 2022, BiomX Israel entered into a sublease agreement for a portion of its office space in Ness Ziona, Israel. The agreement was for a period of two years beginning on August 15, 2022. The monthly lease payments under the agreement were approximately $29. The monthly lease proceeds are recorded as other income in the consolidated statements of operations. The sublease agreement was terminated in September 2024. On August 9, 2019, APT entered into a lease agreement (the “APT Lease Agreement”) with ARE-708 Quince Orchard, LLC (the “Landlord”), for office and lab spaces in Gaithersburg, Maryland starting on September 1, 2019. On March 5, 2024, in connection with the Acquisition, APT and the Landlord, signed an amendment to the APT Lease Agreement. Pursuant to the amendment, the leased area was decreased to 25,894 square feet (the “Remaining Area”), effective as of December 31, 2024. Following the amendment, the revised monthly lease payments are approximately $155. In exchange, APT was required to pay a relinquished premises fee in an amount equal to $1,500 within 10 business days following March 15, 2024. In addition, the Company issued the Landlord warrants (the “Landlord Warrants”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 25,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $50.00 per share. The Landlord Warrants became exercisable on July 9, 2024, and will expire on January 28, 2027. The amendment also included a one-time option to early terminate the lease agreement on February 28, 2029 with respect to the Remaining Area under certain terms. The execution of the early termination will require APT to pay a termination fee of $3,000. The operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities contemplate the termination option. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company recognized an impairment charge in relation to its right-of-use asset. See Note 11 for further information.
Lease expenses recorded in the consolidated statements of operations were $3,543 and $628 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
