Description of the Business

1. Description of the Business

Gossamer Bio, Inc. (including its subsidiaries, referred to as “we,” “us,” “our,”, or the “Company”) is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company focused on discovering, acquiring, developing and commercializing therapeutics in the disease areas of immunology, inflammation and oncology. The Company was incorporated in the state of Delaware on October 25, 2015 (originally as FSG Bio, Inc.) and is based in San Diego, California.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Gossamer Bio, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions among the consolidated entity have been eliminated in consolidation.

Initial Public Offering in February 2019

On February 12, 2019, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) with the sale of 19,837,500 shares of common stock, including shares of common stock issued upon the exercise in full of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, at a public offering price of $16.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $291.3 million, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses.

In addition, in connection with the completion of the IPO, all of the Company’s outstanding shares of convertible preferred stock were automatically converted into 30,493,460 shares of common stock.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company has incurred significant operating losses since its inception. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had an accumulated deficit of $231.0 million. From the Company’s inception through June 30, 2019, the Company has funded its operations primarily through equity financings, including the Company’s IPO which closed on February 12, 2019. The Company raised $601.3 million from October 2017 through March 2019 through Series A and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock financings, a convertible note financing, and the IPO, after deducting underwriting discounts, commissions, and offering expenses. In addition, the Company received $12.8 million in cash in connection with the January 2018 acquisition of AA Biopharma Inc. On May 2, 2019 the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiary GB001, Inc., as borrower, entered into a credit, guaranty and security agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with MidCap Financial Trust (“MidCap”), an agent and as a lender, and the additional lenders party thereto from time to time (together with MidCap, the “Lenders”), pursuant to which the Lenders, including affiliates of MidCap and Silicon Valley Bank agreed to make term loans available to the Company for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan that was funded at the closing date. Under the Credit Facility, the Company has the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions. As of June 30, 2019, no other tranches under the Credit Facility have been drawn. See Note 5 for additional information regarding the Credit Facility.

The Company expects to continue to incur significant operating losses for the foreseeable future and may never become profitable. As a result, the Company will need to raise capital through equity offerings, debt financings other capital sources, including potential collaborations, licenses and other similar arrangements. Management believes that it has sufficient working capital on hand to fund operations through at least the next twelve months from the date these condensed consolidated financial statements were available to be issued. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in acquiring additional funding, that the Company’s projections of its future working capital needs will prove accurate, or that any additional funding would be sufficient to continue operations in future years.

Subsequent Events

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through August 8, 2019, the issuance date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, and has determined that there were no material subsequent events to recognize or disclose.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-Q and Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments necessary, which are of a normal and recurring nature, for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and of the results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 22, 2019. The results of operations for the interim period shown in this report are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the full year. The balance sheet at December 31, 2018, has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements relate to accrued research and development expenses, the valuation of preferred and common stock, the valuation of stock options and the valuation allowance of deferred tax assets resulting from net operating losses. These estimates and assumptions are based on current facts, historical experience and various other factors believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the recording of expenses that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (commonly referred to as Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 842), as of January 1, 2019, using the optional transition method. The optional transition method provides a method for recording existing leases at adoption and a cumulative catch up adjustment on January 1, 2019 for any differences between ASC 842 and the legacy guidance provided in ASC 840, Leases that would have impacted our income statement. No retrospective restatements are required under the optional transition method. In addition, the Company elected the package of practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance within the new standard, which among other things, allowed us to carry forward the historical lease classification. The Company also applied the short-term lease recognition exemption for leases with terms at inception not greater than 12 months.

Adoption of the new standard resulted in the recording of additional operating lease right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities of approximately $12.5 million and $13.2 million, respectively, as of January 1, 2019. The difference between the operating lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are due to accrued deferred rent and unamortized lease incentives.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements – Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses: Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments. For trade receivables and other instruments, entities will be required to use a new forward-looking expected loss model that generally will result in the earlier recognition of allowances for losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, the losses will be recognized as allowances rather than as reductions in the amortized cost of the securities. This guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted only as of annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently evaluating the timing and impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-13 on our unaudited condensed financial statements or related financial statement disclosures.

Net Loss Per Share

Basic net loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share excludes the potential impact of the Company’s Series Seed Convertible Preferred Stock, Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, common stock options and unvested shares of restricted stock because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to the Company’s net loss. Since the Company had a net loss in each of the periods presented, basic and diluted net loss per common share are the same.

The table below provides potentially dilutive securities not included in the calculation of the diluted net loss per share because to do so would be anti-dilutive:

	As of June 30,
	2019		2018
Shares issuable upon conversion of Series Seed Convertible Preferred Stock		—		4,444,444
Shares issuable upon conversion of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock		—		10,158,710

Fair Value Measurements and Available for Sale Investments

4. Fair Value Measurements and Available for Sale Investments

Fair Value Measurements

The accounting guidance defines fair value, establishes a consistent framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure for each major asset and liability category measured at fair value on either a recurring or nonrecurring basis. Fair value is defined as an exit price, representing the amount that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. As a basis for considering such assumptions, the accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value as follows:

Level 1: Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets;

Level 2: Inputs, other than the quoted prices in active markets, that are observable either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3: Unobservable inputs in which there is little or no market data, which require the reporting entity to develop its own assumptions.

We classify our cash equivalents and available-for-sale investments within Level 1 or Level 2. The fair value of our investment grade corporate debt securities and commercial paper is determined using proprietary valuation models and analytical tools, which utilize market pricing or prices for similar instruments that are both objective and publicly available, such as matrix pricing or reported trades, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, two-sided markets, benchmark securities, bids, and offers.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The following table presents the hierarchy for assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

	Fair Value Measurements at End of Period Using:
				Quoted Market		Significant		Significant
				Prices for		Other Observable		Unobservable
		Total		Identical Assets		Inputs		Inputs

U.S. Treasury securities			123,439		123,439		—		—

The Company did not reclassify any investments between levels in the fair value hierarchy during the periods presented.

Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments

As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, which include cash, interest and securities receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses, approximate fair values because of their short maturities.

Interest and securities receivable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, was $19.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively, and is recorded as a component of prepaid expenses and other current assets on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Securities receivable reflect the timing differences of maturities or settlements of investments and the ultimate reinvestment of such amounts.

We believe that our term loan facility bears interest at a rate that approximates prevailing market rates for instruments with similar characteristics and, accordingly, the carrying value of the term loan facility approximates fair value. We estimate the fair value of long-term debt utilizing an income approach. We use a present value calculation to discount principal and interest payments and the final maturity payment on these liabilities using a discounted cash flow model based on observable inputs. The debt instrument is then discounted based on what the current market rates would be as of the reporting date. Based on the assumptions used to value these liabilities at fair value, the debt instrument is categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

Available for Sale Investments

We invest our excess cash in U.S. Treasury securities and debt instruments of corporations and commercial obligations, which are classified as available-for-sale investments. These investments are carried at fair value and are included in the tables above. The Company evaluates securities with unrealized losses to determine whether such losses, if any, are other than temporary. Realized gains and losses are calculated using the specific identification method and recorded as interest income or expense. We do not generally intend to sell the investments and it is not more likely than not that we will be required to sell the investments before recovery of their amortized cost bases, which may be at maturity.

The aggregate market value, cost basis, and gross unrealized gains and losses of available-for-sale investments by security type, classified in marketable securities and long-term investments as of June 30, 2019 are as follows (in thousands):

			Gross		Gross
	Amortized		Unrealized		Unrealized			Total
	Cost		Gains		Losses			Fair Value
Marketable securities
U.S. Treasury securities	$	196,621	$	219	$	—		$	196,840
Commercial paper		30,799		1		(1	)		30,799
Corporate debt securities		87,565		291		—			87,856
Total marketable securities	$	314,985	$	511	$	(1	)	$	315,495

As of June 30, 2019, the Company classified $7.7 million of assets with original maturities of 90 days or less as cash equivalents. None of the investments have been in a gross unrealized loss for a period greater than 12 months. At each reporting date, we perform an evaluation of impairment to determine if any unrealized losses are other-than-temporary. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, the financial condition of the issuer, and our intent and ability to hold the investment until recovery of the amortized cost basis. We intend and have the ability to hold our investments in unrealized loss positions until their amortized cost basis has been recovered. Further, based on our evaluation, we determined that unrealized losses were not other-than-temporary as of June 30, 2019.

Contractual maturities of available-for-sale debt securities, as of June 30, 2019, were as follows (in thousands):

	Estimated
	Fair Value
Due within one year	$	287,765
One to two years		27,730
Total	$	315,495

We have the ability, if necessary, to liquidate any of our cash equivalents and short-term investments to meet our liquidity needs in the next 12 months. Accordingly, those investments with contractual maturities greater than one year from the date of purchase are classified as current assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Long-term Debt

5. Long-term Debt

On May 2, 2019, the Company, as guarantor, and its wholly-owned subsidiary GB001, Inc., as borrower, entered into the Credit Facility described in Note 1, pursuant to which the Lenders, including affiliates of MidCap and Silicon Valley Bank, agreed to make term loans available to the Company for working capital and general business purposes, in a principal amount of up to $150.0 million in term loan commitments, including a $30.0 million term loan that was funded at the closing date, with the ability to access the remaining $120.0 million in three additional tranches (of $40.0 million, $30.0 million and $50.0 million, respectively), subject to specified availability periods, the achievement of certain clinical development milestones, minimum cash requirements and other customary conditions. The second tranche is available no earlier than February 1, 2020 and no later than July 31, 2020. The third tranche is available no earlier than May 1, 2020 and no later than October 31, 2020. The fourth tranche is available no earlier than February 1, 2021 and no later than July 31, 2021. The Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of the Company’s and its domestic subsidiaries’ personal property, including intellectual property, and includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company.

Each term loan under the Credit Facility bears interest at an annual rate equal to the sum of (i) one-month LIBOR (customarily defined, with a change to prime rate if LIBOR funding becomes unlawful or impractical) plus (ii) 6.15%, subject to a LIBOR floor of 2.00%. The borrower is required to make interest-only payments on the term loan for all payment dates prior to June 1, 2021. The term loans under the Credit Facility will begin amortizing on June 1, 2021, with equal monthly payments of principal plus interest being made by the Company to the Lenders in consecutive monthly installments following such interest-only period for 36 months or, for any funding of the fourth tranche occurring after June 1, 2021, the number of months until the Credit Facility matures on May 1, 2024. Upon final repayment of the term loans, the borrower must pay an exit fee of 1.75% of the amount borrowed under the Credit Facility, less any partial exit fees previously paid. Upon partial prepayment of a portion of the term loans, the borrower must pay a partial exit fee of 1.75% of the principal being prepaid. At the borrower’s option, the borrower may prepay the outstanding principal balance of the term loan in whole or in part, subject to a prepayment fee of 3.0% of any amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs through and including the first anniversary of the closing date, 2.0% of the amount prepaid if the prepayment occurs after the first anniversary of the closing date through and including the second anniversary of the closing date, and 1.0% of any amount prepaid after the second anniversary of the closing date and prior to May 1, 2024.

The Credit Facility includes affirmative and negative covenants applicable to the Company and certain of its subsidiaries. The affirmative covenants include, among others, covenants requiring such entities to maintain their legal existence and governmental approvals, deliver certain financial reports, maintain insurance coverage, maintain property, pay taxes, satisfy certain requirements regarding accounts and comply with laws and regulations. The negative covenants include, among others, restrictions on such entities from transferring collateral, incurring additional indebtedness, engaging in mergers or acquisitions, paying dividends or making other distributions, making investments, creating liens, amending material agreements and organizational documents, selling assets and suffering a change in control, in each case subject to certain exceptions. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are also subject to an ongoing minimum cash financial covenant in which they must maintain unrestricted cash in an amount not less than 25% of the outstanding principal amount of the term loans. As of June 30, 2019, the Company was in compliance with these covenants.

The Credit Facility also includes events of default, the occurrence and continuation of which could cause interest to be charged at the rate that is otherwise applicable plus 3.0% and would provide MidCap, as agent, with the right to exercise remedies against the Company and/or certain of its subsidiaries, and the collateral securing the Credit Facility, including foreclosure against the properties securing the credit facilities, including cash. These events of default include, among other things, failure to pay any amounts due under the Credit Facility, a breach of covenants under the Credit Facility, insolvency or the occurrence of insolvency events, the occurrence of a change in control, the occurrence of certain U.S. Food and Drug Administration and regulatory events, failure to remain registered with the SEC and listed for trading on NASDAQ, the occurrence of a material adverse change, the occurrence of a default under a material agreement reasonably expected to result in a material adverse change, the occurrence of certain defaults under certain other indebtedness in an amount greater than $2,500,000 and the occurrence of certain defaults under subordinated indebtedness and convertible indebtedness.

Asset Acquisitions and Contingent Consideration

7. Asset Acquisitions and Contingent Consideration

The following purchased assets were accounted for as asset acquisitions as substantially all of the fair value of the assets acquired were concentrated in a group of similar assets and/or the acquired assets were not capable of producing outputs due to the lack of employees and early stage of development. Because the assets had not yet received regulatory approval, the fair value attributable to these assets was recorded as in process research and development (“IPR&D”) expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company accounts for contingent consideration payable upon achievement of certain regulatory, development or sales milestones in such asset acquisitions when the underlying contingency is met.

Acquisition of License from Pulmokine, Inc. (GB002)

On October 2, 2017, the Company, entered into a license agreement with Pulmokine, Inc. under which it was granted an exclusive worldwide license and sublicense to certain intellectual property rights owned or controlled by Pulmokine to develop and commercialize GB002 and certain backup compounds for the treatment, prevention and diagnosis of any and all disease or conditions. The Company also has the right to sublicense its rights under the license agreement, subject to certain conditions. The assets acquired are in the early stages of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) approval process, and the Company intends to further develop the assets acquired through potential FDA approval as evidenced by the milestone arrangement in the contract. The development activities cannot be performed without significant cost and effort by the Company. The agreement will remain in effect from the effective date, unless terminated earlier, until, on a licensed product-by-licensed product and country-by-country basis, the later of ten years from the date of first commercial sale or when there is no longer a valid patent claim covering such licensed product or specified regulatory exclusivity for the licensed product in such country. The Company is obligated to make future development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $63.0 million, commercial milestone payments of up to $45.0 million, and sales milestone payments of up to $190.0 million. The Company is also obligated to pay tiered royalties on sales for each licensed product, at percentages ranging from the mid-single digits to the high single-digits. The Company made an upfront payment of $5.5 million in October 2017. As of June 30, 2019, no milestones had been accrued as the underlying contingencies had not yet been met.

AA Biopharma Inc. Acquisition (GB001)

On January 4, 2018, the Company acquired AA Biopharma Inc. pursuant to a merger agreement, and with the acquisition acquired the rights to GB001 and certain backup compounds. In connection with the merger agreement, the Company issued an aggregate of 20,000,000 shares of Series Seed Convertible Preferred Stock and 1,101,278 shares of Common Stock to the AA Biopharma shareholders. The Company recorded IPR&D of $19.3 million in January 2018 in connection with the acquisition of AA Biopharma.

Acquisition of License from Aerpio Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (GB004)

The Company is obligated to make future development and regulatory milestone payments of up to $55.0 million, commercial milestone payments of up to $85.0 million and sales milestone payments of up to $260.0 million. The Company is also obligated to pay tiered royalties on sales for each licensed product, at percentages ranging from a high single-digit to mid-teens, subject to certain customary reductions. The Company made an upfront payment of $20.0 million in June 2018, which represented the purchase consideration for an asset acquisition. As of June 30, 2019, no milestones had been accrued as the underlying contingencies had not yet been met.

Adhaere Pharmaceuticals, Inc. Acquisition (GB1275)

On September 21, 2018, the Company acquired Adhaere Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Adhaere”) pursuant to a merger agreement for an upfront payment of $7.5 million in cash, and with the acquisition acquired the rights to GB1275 and certain backup compounds.

Stockholders' Equity (Deficit)

8. Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)

In connection with the Company’s IPO, the outstanding shares of the Company’s Series Seed, Series A, and Series B Convertible Preferred Stock automatically converted into 30,493,460 shares of common stock.

Common Stock

On December 3, 2015, the Company issued 9,160,888 shares of common stock as founder shares for services rendered to the Company, valued at $0.0001 par value per share, for a total of approximately $4,100. On January 4, 2018, incremental vesting conditions were placed on the previously issued founder shares. Fifty percent of the previously issued founder shares vested on January 4, 2018, and the remaining founder shares are subject to vesting restrictions over a period of five years.

Pursuant to the employment agreements with the Company’s founders executed January 4, 2018, the Company provided for certain potential additional issuances of common stock (the “anti-dilution shares”) to each of the founders to ensure the total number of shares of common stock held by them and their affiliates (inclusive of any shares subject to equity awards granted by the Company) would represent 15% of the Company’s fully-diluted capitalization until such time as the Company raised $300 million in equity capital, including the capital raised in the Series A financing.

In furtherance of this obligation, on May 21, 2018, the Company issued 251,547 shares of common stock to the founders for services rendered to the Company, valued at $2.61 per share with an additional 251,547 shares of restricted stock subject to the same vesting restrictions and vesting period as the founder shares. In addition, on September 6, 2018, the Company issued 1,795,023 shares of common stock to the founders for services rendered to the Company, valued at $9.63 per share, with an additional 1,795,023 shares of restricted stock subject to the same vesting restrictions and vesting period as the founder shares.

Each share of common stock is entitled to one vote. Common stock owners are entitled to dividends when funds are legally available and declared by the Board.

Shares of Common Stock Subject to Repurchase

In November 2017, in connection with the issuance of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, certain employees entered into stock restriction agreements, whereby 1,305,427 shares are subject to forfeiture by the Company upon the stockholder’s termination of employment or service to the Company. In January 2018, the Company’s founders entered into stock restriction agreements, whereby 4,580,444 of previously unrestricted shares of common stock were subject to service vesting conditions. These shares are also subject to forfeiture by the Company upon the stockholders’ termination of employment or service to the Company. Any shares subject to repurchase by the Company are not deemed, for accounting purposes, to be outstanding until those shares vest. As such, the Company recognizes the measurement date fair value of the restricted stock over the vesting period as compensation expense. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, 5,457,806 and 7,482,032 shares of common stock were subject to repurchase by the Company, respectively. The unvested stock liability related to these awards is immaterial to all periods presented.

Approval of the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan

In January 2019, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved and adopted the 2019 Incentive Award Plan (the “2019 Plan”). The 2019 Plan became effective on February 6, 2019, the day prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO. Under the 2019 Plan, the Company may grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and other stock or cash-based awards to individuals who are then employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company, and employees and consultants of the Company’s subsidiaries. A total of 5,750,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the 2019 Plan. The number of shares that remained available for issuance under the 2017 Plan (as defined below) as of the effective date of the 2019 Plan were, and shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2017 Plan as of the effective date of the 2019 Plan that are subsequently canceled, forfeited or repurchased by the Company will be added to the shares reserved under the 2019 Plan. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each calendar year during the ten-year term of the 2019 Plan, beginning with January 1, 2020 and ending with January 1, 2029, by an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31 of the preceding calendar year or such lesser amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2019, an aggregate of 2,867,556 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the 2019 Plan and 2,882,444 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding awards under the 2019 Plan.

Approval of the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In January 2019, the Company’s board of directors and stockholders approved and adopted the 2019 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “ESPP”). The ESPP became effective as of February 6, 2019, the day prior to the effectiveness of the registration statement filed in connection with the IPO. The ESPP permits participants to purchase common stock through payroll deductions of up to 20% of their eligible compensation. A total of 700,000 shares of common stock were approved to be initially reserved for issuance under the ESPP. In addition, the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the ESPP will be automatically increased on the first day of each calendar year during the first ten-years of the term of the ESPP, beginning with January 1, 2020 and ending with January 1, 2029, by an amount equal to 1% of the outstanding number of shares of the Company’s common stock on December 31 of the preceding calendar year or such lesser amount as determined by the Company’s board of directors. As of June 30, 2019, an aggregate of 700,000 shares of common stock were available for issuance under the ESPP.

2017 Equity Incentive Plan

The Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”) permitted the granting of incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, restricted stock, restricted stock units and other stock-based awards. Subsequent to the adoption of the 2019 Plan, no additional equity awards can be made under the 2017 Plan. As of June 30, 2019, 5,037,446 shares of common stock were subject to outstanding options under the 2017 Plan, and 708,445 shares of restricted stock awards granted under the 2017 plan were unvested.

Stock Options

The fair value of each employee and non-employee stock option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The Company, prior to its IPO on February 12, 2019, was a private company and lacks company-specific historical and implied volatility information. Therefore, it estimates its expected volatility based on the historical volatility of a publicly traded set of peer companies. Due to the lack of historical exercise history, the expected term of the Company’s stock options for employees has been determined utilizing the “simplified” method for awards. The expected term of stock options granted to non-employees is equal to the contractual term of the option award. The risk-free interest rate is determined by reference to the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant of the award for time periods approximately equal to the expected term of the award. Expected dividend yield is zero based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends and does not expect to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

The following table summarizes stock option activity during the six months ended June 30, 2019:

	Shares Subject to Options Outstanding					Weighted- Average
				Weighted-		Remaining
				Average Exercise		Contractual Life		Aggregate
	Shares			Price		(Years)		Intrinsic Value

Options vested and exercisable as of June 30, 2019		497,225		$	3.03		8.8	$	9,522

The aggregate intrinsic value in the above table is calculated as the difference between fair value of the Company’s common stock price on June 30, 2019 and the exercise price of the stock options. The weighted-average grant date fair value per share for the stock option grants during the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $21.13. At June 30, 2019, the total unrecognized compensation related to unvested stock option awards granted was $57.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of approximately 3.3 years.

Restricted Stock

The summary of the Company’s restricted stock activity is as follows:

	Number of			Weighted-

Leases

The Company subleases certain office and laboratory space under a non-cancelable operating lease expiring in December 2024 for the initial leased space and December 2022 for expansion space leased pursuant to an amendment to the lease agreement entered into in August 2018. The sublease agreement included options to extend for the entire premises through October 2028. The options to extend must be exercised prior to the termination of the original lease agreement. The period covered by the options was not included in the non-cancellable lease term as it not was not determined to be reasonably certain to be executed. The lease agreement also includes a one-time termination option for the expansion space only whereby the Company can terminate the lease with advance written notice. The termination option was not determined to be reasonably certain to be executed. The lease is subject to charges for common area maintenance and other costs, and base rent is subject to an annual 3% increase each subsequent year. Costs determined to be variable and not based on an index or rate were not included in the measurement of the operating lease liabilities.

Monthly rent expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The operating lease is included in the balance sheet at the present value of the lease payments at a 7% discount rate using the rate of interest that the Company would have to pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment as the leases do not provide an implicit rate. The weighted average remaining lease term was 4.7 years.

Lease costs were comprised of the following (in thousands):
