Note 12. Restructuring and Other Costs

​

On September 28, 2022, in connection with the Aceragen Acquisition, the Company determined to restructure its operations and reduce the workforce (the “2022 reduction-in-workforce”). In connection with the 2022 reduction-in-workforce, five positions were eliminated, representing approximately 38% of the Company’s pre-merger employees. All five of the positions were eliminated on or before September 30, 2022.

​

Restructuring-related charges for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 totaled approximately $2.8 million and were comprised of the one-time termination costs in connection with the 2022 reduction-in-workforce, including severance, benefits and related costs.

​

As of September 30, 2022, the short-term portion of the accrued restructuring balance, or $2.7 million, is included in “Accrued expenses” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The long-term portion of $0.1 million is included within “Other liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

​

In the second quarter of 2021, following the announcement that the Company’s ILLUMINATE-301 trial did not meet its primary endpoint of objective response rate (“ORR”), the Company implemented a reduction in force which affected approximately 50% of its workforce (the “2021 reduction-in-workforce”). In total, sixteen positions were eliminated, primarily in the area of research and development. The 2021 reduction-in-force was undertaken

in order to align the Company’s workforce with its needs in light of the outcome of ILLUMINATE-301’s ORR endpoint and other business development activities focused on identifying new portfolio opportunities.

​

In connection with these actions, the Company incurred and paid one-time termination costs for the 2021 reduction-in-workforce, which includes severance, benefits and related costs, of approximately $0.1 million during third quarter of 2021.
