On May 3, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a strategic restructuring plan to reduce costs, build a leaner organization and increase operating efficiencies. The restructuring plan included a reduction in force which affected approximately 270 employees worldwide, representing approximately 25% of the Company’s total workforce. The majority of these employees separated from the Company by September 30, 2023. The reduction in force is subject to local regulatory requirements. Furthermore, as part of the plan the Company removed the duplication of synthetic biology
production across its South San Francisco, California and Wilsonville, Oregon facilities. The plan was implemented beginning in May 2023 and was substantially completed by the end of fiscal year 2023. Total restructuring and other costs of $16.2 million was incurred by the Company during the year ended September 30, 2023 and included employee severance and related benefit costs of $8.5 million, restructuring and non-restructuring related impairment of property and equipment of $6.8 million, and other costs associated with restructuring of $0.9 million.
As of December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2023, the severance and related benefit costs included in accrued compensation in the consolidated balance sheets were $0.1 million and $0.5 million, respectively.
