Q1 2012 Restructuring Plan
During the first quarter of 2012, the Board approved and committed to a restructuring plan (the “Q1 2012 Restructuring Plan”) to reduce its cost structure, which included a total of 13 employee terminations in Hungary, Singapore, and the United States. Costs of $572,000 were originally recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses during the year ended December 31, 2012, comprised of employee severance and other termination benefits. We made cash payments of $512,000 and recorded $60,000 of reductions to previously recorded charges during 2012 and have no further obligations under this restructuring plan.
Q3 2012 Restructuring Plan
As a result of the termination of the Shell Research Agreement, we initiated a series of cost reduction measures. During the third quarter of 2012, the Board approved and committed to a restructuring plan (the “Q3 2012 Restructuring Plan”) to reduce its cost structure which included approximately 173 employee terminations in the United States and Singapore and the closing of our Singapore facility. Approximately 150 of the total 173 employee terminations impacted the research and development functions with the remaining 23 employees impacted the general and administrative functions.
Our cost of the Q3 2012 Restructuring Plan was $2,418,000, comprised of $1,071,000 of leasehold improvement write down, $684,000 for employee severance and other termination benefits, $320,000 for facility lease termination costs and $342,000 for equipment disposal charges. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2012, costs of $1,470,000 have been recognized in selling, general and administrative expenses and $948,000 have been recognized in research and development on the consolidated statements of operations. As of December 31, 2013, there was $68,000 recorded in accrued compensation and $352,000 recorded as accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheet and the remaining payments were made in 2013. We do not anticipate recording any further costs under this restructuring plan.
Q4 2013 Restructuring Plan
During the fourth quarter of 2013, the Board approved and committed to a restructuring plan (the “Q4 2013 Restructuring Plan”) to reduce its cost structure resulting from our decision to begin winding down its CodeXyme® cellulase enzymes program, which included a total of 15 employee terminations in the United States. For the year ended December 31, 2013, costs of $809,000 of employee severance and other termination benefits have been recognized, consisting of $573,000 in research and development expenses and $236,000 in selling, general and administrative expenses. As of December 31, 2013, there was $277,000 recorded in accrued compensation on the consolidated balance sheet. Associated with the Q4 2013 Restructuring Plan, we announced we were selling certain research and development assets that have become excess to future requirements (see Note 9). We do not anticipate recording any further costs under this restructuring plan.
