Note 13 — Restructuring Charges

In December 2013, the Company announced a plan to significantly reduce its workforce by approximately 175 employees, from approximately 650 full-time employees, primarily in sales and marketing that were included in the Company's China segment. The restructuring was decided as a result of the non-renewal of the Company’s distribution agreement with Sanofi as of December 31, 2013. The decision resulted in severance-related charges of approximately $1.2 million recognized to restructuring expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2013. As of December 31, 2014, the Company had paid all but an insignificant portion of the restructuring related charges.

In March 2012, the Company implemented a reduction in its workforce of 11 full-time employees, primarily in research and development that were included in the Company’s Rest of the World (including the US and Hong Kong) segment. The restructuring followed the discontinuation of the Company’s SCV-07 phase 2b clinical trial. The reduction in workforce resulted in severance-related charges of approximately $1.1 million recognized to restructuring expense in the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2013, the Company had completed its SCV-07 restructuring activities.
