Previous report
As previously announced on May 9, 2024, in connection with the Company’s plans to reduce operational expenditures, management, with the approval of the Board of Directors, approved a restructuring plan, including a reduction in labor expenses and a planned consolidation and sublease of certain facilities. Initial workforce reductions commenced in June 2024 and continued into the third quarter, with further reductions expected in the fourth quarter of 2024 and into 2025. All reductions are expected to be substantially completed in 2025, subject to compliance with applicable laws. The Company plans to consolidate certain facilities through various actions, including combining office and laboratory operations into fewer locations, subleasing unused facilities, and has taken or plans to take other related measures. While the Company aims to complete the majority of its facility consolidation actions in 2025, the actual timing may vary, especially for subleasing unused or underutilized facilities, which may extend beyond 2025 or may not occur prior to termination of such leases, depending on market conditions. Additionally, restructuring expenses related to potential asset impairments or contract amendments or terminations for any facilities no longer in use or underutilized could be material. The Company currently estimates the costs for the reduction in force to range from $18.0 million to $22.0 million primarily in the Cell Engineering segment and consist of one-time cash severance and related costs.
