In the first six months of fiscal 2022, the Company entered into a sublease termination agreement (the “Lease Termination Agreement”) with respect to its former headquarters in Waltham, Massachusetts. In connection to the Lease Termination Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the sublandlord a total of $0.4 million in termination payments, of which approximately $0.1 million and $0.4 million were paid during the three and six months ended July 31, 2021, respectively. The Company also wrote off all related operating lease right-of-use assets and liabilities as of the termination date, resulting in a $0.3 million non-cash gain, which partially offset the loss on termination payments. The net $0.1 million loss on lease termination is reported as a component of severance and restructuring expense on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss for the six months ended July 31, 2021. Prior to the execution of the Lease Termination Agreement, the sublease had been scheduled to expire in February 2025.

The Company has entered into three operating sublease agreements (collectively, the “Subleases”) with respect to part of its existing Poland facility lease (the “Head Lease”), two in fiscal 2022 and one in fiscal 2023. The Company accounted for the Head Lease and the Subleases as separate contracts and there was no effect on the right-of-use asset or lease liability associated with the Head Lease. The Subleases entered into in fiscal 2022 and 2023 are short-term and have effective end dates of less than one quarter and one year from July 31, 2022, respectively. The Head Lease rent expense is presented net of income related to the Subleases and reported as a component of operating expenses on the condensed consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss. The Company recorded $60 thousand and $104 thousand of income related to the Subleases for the three months and six months ended July 31, 2022, respectively.
