This update comes as Oncocyte continues to navigate its financial and operational commitments, with the letter of credit reduction potentially easing its cash security requirements. Trading at $2.26, InvestingPro analysis suggests the stock is currently fairly valued, with additional insights available in the platform's detailed Pro Research Report, which provides comprehensive analysis of the company's financial health and future prospects.
The amendment, effective January 2, 2025, modifies the original lease agreement dated December 23, 2019, with Cushing Ventures, LLC, and involves Induce Biologics USA, Inc.
The amendment outlines several key changes. Firstly, the lease term for Oncocyte's current premises will now expire on October 31, 2027. Upon signing the replacement lease by both Cushing and Induce, all rights to extend the term of the original lease were terminated. The replacement lease, dated December 26, 2024, is an agreement between Induce, as the new tenant, and Cushing, as the landlord.
Additionally, the agreement states that, provided Oncocyte is not in default, starting July 1, 2025, the company's letter of credit amount of $1,700,000 will be reduced monthly by $60,714.29 until fully depleted. This reduction corresponds to Oncocyte's restricted cash as reported on its most recent balance sheet. This move comes as particularly significant given the company's current ratio of 0.53, indicating potential liquidity challenges as highlighted in InvestingPro's comprehensive analysis.
