March 2015 Restructuring

        With projected reduced operational demands as a result of the Collaboration Agreement with Janssen, on March 3, 2015, we announced an organizational resizing to reduce our workforce from 39 to 21 positions. In connection with this restructuring, we recorded net restructuring charges of approximately $1,306,000 related to one-time termination benefits which were recognized on a pro-rata basis commencing from the date of announcement of the resizing over the specified remaining service periods of the employees affected by the restructuring. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $1,395,000 in restructuring charges for the one-time termination benefits, which included $307,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense relating to the extension of the post-termination exercise period for certain stock options previously granted to employees affected by the restructuring from 90 days to one year from their respective termination dates. Restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 2015 were reduced by non-cash adjustments of $89,000 for unused termination benefits. We expect this restructuring to result in aggregate cash expenditures of approximately $999,000, of which $947,000 has been paid as of December 31, 2015. All actions associated with this restructuring were completed in 2015, and we do not anticipate incurring any further charges in connection with this restructuring.

        The components relating to the March 2015 restructuring, including the outstanding restructuring liability which is included in accrued restructuring charges on our balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, are summarized in the following table:

April 2013 Restructuring

        On April 25, 2013, we announced the decision to discontinue our discovery research programs and companion diagnostics program based on telomere length and close our research laboratory facility located at 200 Constitution Drive, Menlo Park, California. With this decision, a total of 20 positions were eliminated. In connection with this restructuring, we incurred aggregate restructuring charges of $1,370,000 for the year ended December 31, 2013, of which $624,000 related to one-time termination benefits, including $28,000 of non-cash stock-based compensation expense relating to the extension of the post-termination exercise period through the end of December 2013 for certain stock options previously granted to terminated employees, $200,000 related to non-cash charges for write-downs of excess equipment and leasehold improvements and $546,000 related to costs associated with the closure of our research laboratory facility. In connection with the decision to close our research laboratory facility, we entered into an amendment to the lease agreement for the 200 Constitution Drive facility under which the lease terminated effective December 31, 2013. As consideration for the early termination of the lease, we paid the landlord the remaining rents due under the original term of the lease as well as certain facility maintenance costs, all of which have been included in restructuring charges for the year ended December 31, 2013. The restructuring resulted in aggregate cash expenditures of $1,085,000 after adjustments and non-cash credits. In 2013, we received proceeds of $1,080,000 from the sale of excess laboratory equipment in connection with the closure of our research laboratory facility. All actions associated with this restructuring were completed in 2013, and we do not anticipate incurring any further charges in connection with this restructuring.
