Note 15. Subsequent Events

The Company considers events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date but prior to the issuance of the condensed consolidated financial statements to provide additional evidence relative to certain estimates or to identify matters that require additional disclosure. In some instances, such subsequent events may require retroactive adjustment to information reported at the balance sheet date.

Cost-reduction Plan Implementation and Reduction in Workforce

On April 28, 2023, the Board approved a reduction in workforce (the “Reduction”) in which approximately 80% of the Company’s employees were terminated, effective immediately, in an effort to reduce operating costs. This follows the previously disclosed approval by the Board, on April 13, 2023, of certain cost-cutting measures, including the furlough of approximately 46% of the Company’s workforce and the deferral of base salaries in amounts that exceed $200,000, effective as of April 5, 2023.

In connection with the Reduction, the Company incurred aggregate restructuring charges in the second quarter of 2023 of approximately $4.6 million related to severance payments and other employee-related costs. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the Reduction.

Nasdaq Delisting Notice and Public Shell Inquiry

On May 24, 2023, the Company received a notice (the “Notice”) from the Nasdaq Listing Qualifications Department (the “Staff”), stating that because the Company had not yet filed its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company was not in compliance with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1). Nasdaq Listing Rule 5250(c)(1) requires listed companies to timely file all required periodic financial reports with the SEC. The Notice had no immediate effect on the listing of the Company’s common stock. Subsequent to receiving the Notice, the Company received an inquiry from Staff noting concerns regarding the Company’s potential to be a public shell company and requesting information to assist the Staff in its analysis in determining whether Nasdaq deems the Company to be a public shell. The Company has responded to the Staff’s inquiry, which remains ongoing.

Collaboration with Scriptr

In June 2023, the Company and Scriptr mutually agreed to terminate the Scriptr Agreement and all rights and licenses granted pursuant to the Scriptr Agreement, including the option to make effective the License Agreement (as defined in the Scriptr Agreement), were terminated. The termination of the Scriptr Agreement is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
