Due to the negative effects of COVID-19, the Company implemented measures to reduce its costs, including negotiations with landlords regarding rent concessions. The Company is in ongoing discussions with landlords regarding rent obligations, including deferrals, abatements, and/or restructuring of rent. As the rent concessions received and currently being contemplated do not result in a significant increase in cash payments, the Company has elected to account for these concessions as a variable lease payment in accordance with ASC Topic 842.
