Restructuring plan

 

In November 2016, the Company announced a plan to restructure its activities resulting from a company-wide strategic review with the aim of refocusing its pipeline, consolidating its manufacturing capabilities into its Lexington, Massachusetts site, reducing operating costs and enhancing overall execution. At various dates between December 2016 and February 2018, the Company entered into termination agreements with certain employees. The Company expects to complete the restructuring in April 2018. Depending on the individual fact pattern, the Company accrued the related termination costs over the service period or at the date of communication to the employees. Changes in accrued termination benefits (included in research and development expenses) for the three months ended March 31, 2018, are detailed in the table below.
