____________________________________
(1) — A lease for a second building in Bridgewater, New Jersey was signed in 2015 and was not included in the square footage shown in the table above as the Company has never occupied the second building. In 2016, the Company concluded that it would not occupy the second building and recognized the appropriate charge for all future rents due, net of the anticipated sub-let income associated with the second building. In 2023, the Company decided to exercise an option to early terminate the lease period. As a result, the Company recognized an impairment to the right-of-use asset and a charge for the required termination payment.
