2013
In January 2013, we initiated a restructuring of Strativa, our branded pharmaceuticals division, in anticipation of entering into a settlement agreement and corporate integrity agreement that terminated the U.S. Department of Justice’s ongoing investigation of Strativa’s marketing of Megace® ES.  We reduced our Strativa workforce by approximately 70 people, with the majority of the reductions in the sales force.  The remaining Strativa sales force has been reorganized into a single sales team of approximately 60 professionals that focus their marketing efforts principally on Nascobal® Nasal Spray.  In connection with these actions, we incurred expenses for severance and other employee-related costs as well as the termination of certain contracts. There were no remaining liabilities at March 31, 2014 on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.
