On August 2, 2023, Beacon Media, signed a Termination of Lease Agreement (the “Lease Termination”), effective August 1, 2023 (the “Effective Date”), related to the office space in Lyndhurst, NJ. The Lease Termination requires Beacon Media to pay an aggregate of $0.1 million in consideration of terminating the lease, payable in four equal installments, starting on the cease-use date of August 1, 2023. If it fails to pay any installment within five days of being due, Beacon Media would be responsible for the full exposure on the lease of $0.6 million. The Lease Termination included a waiver of the security deposit in the amount of $26,208 and an agreement to leave the furniture, fixtures and leasehold improvements with a carrying value of $0.1 million on the Effective Date. The Company wrote off the ROU asset, lease liability, prepaid deposit and fixed assets on the Effective Date. Including fees, the Company recorded a total loss on lease termination of $0.3 million within Other Income (Expense), net on the Company’s consolidated statement of operations during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Starting from November 1, 2023, the Company's lease for their Vancouver office underwent modifications, which included rent concessions and deferrals for rent payments. However, these changes do not cover common area maintenance (“CAM”) costs. The landlord abated November 1, 2023 and December 1, 2023 rent payments in the amount of CAD 0.2 million and granted deferral of January-April 1, 2024 rent payments in the amount of CAD 0.4 million. The deferral balance is required to be repaid in 8 equal payments of CAD 0.1 million by way of adding the payment to the originally scheduled payments starting on May 1, 2024. In addition, the lease was amended to give the landlord the right to terminate the lease at any time with no less than twelve months’ notice. The Company accounted for the changes as a modification under ASC 842. Per ASC 842, the Company remeasured the lease liability using a discount rate as of the effective date of modification on the basis of the remaining lease term and payments. Based on the modified lease payment terms, the discount rate was determined to be 11.7%. The remeasured lease liability as of November 1, 2023 was USD 5.4 million (CAD 7.1 million). The difference of USD 0.2 million (CAD 0.3 million) compared to the lease liability balance pre-modification was recorded as a reduction to the corresponding right-of-use asset. The remaining lease costs of USD 8.3 million (CAD 11.0 million) will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining lease term.
