Strategic Reprioritization

Note 10 – Strategic Reprioritization

In March 2022, the Company implemented changes to the Company’s organizational structure as well as a broader operational cost reduction plan to enable the Company to focus on specific clinical-stage programs for GAN and Rett syndrome. The Company will conduct small proof-of-concept studies in CLN1 disease and SLC13A5 deficiency. Development of the CLN7 program will continue in collaboration with existing partners with future clinical development to focus on the first-generation construct. All other research and development activities have been paused to increase operational efficiency.

 

In connection with prioritization of programs, the Company reduced headcount by approximately 35% across all functions. In accordance with ASC 420, Exit and Disposal Activities, the Company recorded one-time severance and termination-related costs of $2.6 million in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily within research and development expenses. The Company expects the payment of all accrued severance termination-related costs to be substantially complete by June 30, 2022.  

 

The following table summarizes the accrued severance activity recorded in connection with the reduction in workforce for the three months ended March 31, 2022:
