| Commitments and Contingencies | 10. Commitments and Contingencies Finance Lease Agreements On January 8, 2026, the Company entered into a lease agreement (the “Lease”) with BioMed Realty (the “Landlord”) for the lease of a building with approximately 498,286 square feet of space in Somerville, Massachusetts for the Company’s principal executive offices and for research and development, laboratory, manufacturing and assembly, vivarium, office and related uses (the “Premises”) to ultimately replace its existing headquarters in Andover, Massachusetts. The Lease expires in , unless earlier terminated (the “Initial Term”). Base rent begins to accrue in at an annual rate of $23.9 million, and will increase by 2% annually during the first three years of the Initial Term and by 3% annually for each year thereafter. The Company will also be obligated to pay annual operating and tax expenses for the Premises. The Company holds two consecutive options to extend the term for additional periods of ten years each as well as an option to extend the term for a period of six months. The Lease includes a one-time purchase option for the Company to buy the Premises and associated parking spaces, exercisable by the Company at any time prior to November 2028. The purchase price is $374.6 million if the option is exercised on or before December 31, 2027; if exercised thereafter, the purchase price increases based on a formula tied to future payments. The Lease also provides for a tenant improvement allowance of $0.4 million. The Company has delivered a security deposit to the Landlord in the form of a letter of credit for $17.9 million, which is classified as restricted cash (non-current) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Additionally, on January 8, 2026, the Company acquired two parcels adjacent to the Premises in Somerville, Massachusetts from the Landlord and an entity affiliated with the Landlord for $15.0 million each. Accounting The Company accounted for the Lease and property purchases as one combined contract under ASC 842, Leases (Topic 842). Because the Lease grants the Company an option to purchase the underlying assets that the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the Company classified the Lease as a finance lease. Accordingly, total consideration for the combined contract of $404.3 million, including the estimated payment to purchase the property under lease less the tenant improvement allowance and the payments to purchase the two properties was allocated to the Lease and property purchases based on relative standalone selling prices. The property purchases are included in land and building within property, plant and equipment on the condensed consolidated balance sheets (see Note 4). The Company recorded a finance lease right-of-use asset of $336.6 million as of the lease commencement date of January 8, 2026, representing the present value of the lease payments less the tenant improvement allowance and a tenant rebate of $3.7 million, allocated to the contract components. Because the interest rate implicit in the Lease was not readily determinable, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate of 4.4% was used to calculate the present value of the payments under the Lease. In determining its incremental borrowing rate, the Company considered its credit quality and assessed interest rates available in the market for similar borrowings for a similar term, adjusted for the impact of collateral. The components of the Company’s finance lease cost under ASC 842 are as follows (in thousands):
Because the lease contains a purchase option which the Company is reasonably certain to exercise, the building is being amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 40 years.
Future payments under the Lease, inclusive of the Company’s assumed exercise of the purchase option, as of March 31, 2026 were as follows (in thousands):
Operating Leases There have been no material changes to the Company’s operating leases during the three months ended March 31, 2026. For additional information, please read Note 11 Leases, to the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. 401(k) Savings Plan The Company has a defined-contribution savings plan under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan covers substantially all employees who meet minimum age and service requirements and allows participants to defer a portion of their compensation on a pre-tax basis. Company contributions to the plan may be made at the discretion of the board of directors. Effective January 1, 2023, the Company instituted an employer matching program for the plan pursuant to which the Company will match 100% of the first 3% of each participating employee’s eligible compensation contributed to the plan and 50% of up to an additional 2% each participating employee’s eligible compensation contributed to the plan. For the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025, the Company recorded expense of $1.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to these matching contributions. Indemnification Agreements In the ordinary course of business, the Company may provide indemnification of varying scope and terms to customers, vendors, lessors, business partners, and other parties with respect to certain matters including, but not limited to, losses arising out of breach of such agreements, negligence or willful misconduct, or from intellectual property infringement claims made by third parties. In addition, the Company has entered into indemnification agreements with members of its board of directors and executive officers that will require the Company, among other things, to indemnify them against certain liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or services as directors or officers. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is, in many cases, unlimited. To date, the Company has not incurred any material costs as a result of such indemnifications. The Company is not currently aware of any indemnification claims and had not accrued any liabilities related to such obligations in its condensed consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025. Unconditional Purchase Commitment In January 2021, the Company entered into an unconditional $9.5 million purchase commitment, in the ordinary course of business, for goods with specified annual minimum quantities to be purchased through December 2029. The contract is not cancellable without penalty. The remaining purchase commitment as of March 31, 2026 was $4.0 million. Legal Proceedings On February 14, 2025, a class action captioned Jewik v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-10385, was filed against the Company and certain of its current and former officers in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts. The complaint purported to assert claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), as amended, and SEC Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder, seeking unspecified damages on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares between February 28, 2023 and January 10, 2025 (the “Class Period”). On April 2, 2025, another purported stockholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against the Company and certain of its current and former officers, also in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Collins v. TransMedics Group, Inc., et al., Case No. 1:25-cv-10778). The Collins complaint alleged claims substantially similar to those alleged in the Jewik action and also sought unspecified damages. On May 22, 2025, the court consolidated the Jewik and Collins actions and appointed the Peace Officers’ Annuity and Benefit Fund of Georgia and Oguzhan Altun as lead plaintiffs (the “Lead Plaintiffs”). On August 8, 2025, Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. Like the earlier-filed complaints, the amended complaint purports to assert claims pursuant to Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5, on behalf of a putative class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired the Company’s shares during the Class Period. Lead Plaintiffs seek unspecified damages allegedly caused by purported misstatements and omissions contained in our 2022 Annual Report, certain earnings calls, and other public statements. The amended complaint claims these alleged statements and omissions operated to artificially inflate the price paid for our common stock during the Class Period. On October 7, 2025, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint for failure to state a claim. Lead Plaintiffs filed their response to the motion on November 21, 2025, and defendants filed a reply in further support of their motion on December 22, 2025. The Company cannot anticipate when the court will rule on that motion. At each reporting date, the Company evaluates whether or not a potential loss amount or a potential range of loss is probable and reasonably estimable under the provisions of the authoritative guidance that addresses accounting for contingencies. At this time, the Company is unable to predict the outcome of the class action litigation or reasonably estimate a range of possible losses. The Company expenses as incurred the costs related to such legal proceedings. |
