8. Commitments and Contingencies

Leases

The Company’s commitments are disclosed in “Note 6. Commitments and Contingencies” to the Company’s annual audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 included in the Form 10-K. Since the date of the Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the Company’s commitments or contingencies, including leases, other than as described below.

In July 2025, the Company executed a sixty-three-month lease agreement to lease office space in Palo Alto, California. The lease commenced in March 2026 and includes annual lease payments during each of the first three years of approximately $1.5 million, with an increase of approximately 3% each year thereafter for the remainder of the lease. The Palo Alto lease includes an option to terminate after thirty-nine months, subject to a one-time termination fee equal to six months of base rent. The Palo Alto lease also includes a renewal option for one additional five-year period and does not have any residual value guarantees or any restrictions or covenants. The Company is not reasonably certain to exercise either the early-termination or renewal option, and therefore neither option is included in the measurement of the related right-of-use asset and lease liability upon commencement of the lease.

In connection with the buildout of the leased premises, the Company also entered into certain finance leases for leasehold improvements. As of the lease commencement date, these arrangements resulted in the recognition of approximately $0.6 million of finance lease right-of-use assets and corresponding lease liabilities.

As of June 30, 2026, future minimum lease payments included in the measurement of lease liabilities were as follows (in thousands):
