RESTRUCTURING

In October 2014, the Company initiated a restructuring of its U.S. organization to reflect its more narrow strategic focus on PHA performance biopolymers and to modify staffing to the level the Company believed necessary to support successful implementation of its current business strategy.   The scope of the restructuring also reflected the Company’s decision, consistent with its business strategy, to suspend work in its chemicals program. The Company has recognized a total of $659 in restructuring charges related to post-employment benefits. At September 30, 2015, $79 of the restructuring charges remain to be paid during 2015.
