The Company leases certain properties consisting principally of a facility in Bohemia, New York (headquarters) which was amended in September 2021 to increase the space by approximately 25% and extend the lease term through October 2028. The Company leased a 1,200 square foot facility in Orangeburg, New York where it conducted its sales and marketing functions, primarily for the Torbal® Products Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment operations, which expired at the end of October 2024 and was not renewed and continued as a monthly lease through the end of December 31, 2024. On January 1, 2025, the Company entered into a lease for a 220 square foot facility in Pearl River, New York where it conducts its sales and marketing functions, primarily for the Torbal® Products Division of the Benchtop Laboratory Equipment operations, expiring in December 2027. The Company’s Bioprocessing Systems operations are conducted in co-sharing office space in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, which expired in March 2025 and is currently on a month-to-month basis, and a 5,252 square foot facility in Baesweiller, Germany, the lease which was renewed in December 2025 to extend the lease term to December 31, 2027, comprised of manufacturing, engineering, and administrative space. The Company entered into various lease agreements to lease motor vehicles and other equipment. The contractual period of each vehicle lease is generally 36 months and the leases were determined to qualify for operating lease treatment upon the lease commencement date. There are no renewal options with any of the leases, no residual values or significant restrictions or covenants other than those customary in such arrangements, and no non-cash activities. Any rent escalations incorporated within the Company’s leases are included in the calculation of the future minimum lease payments, as further described below. All of the Company’s leases are deemed operating leases.
