RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

18. RESTRUCTURING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES

On August 30, 2021, the Company approved a restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses and better align its workforce with the needs of its business following receipt of the CRL from the FDA regarding the BLA for Vicineum for the treatment of BCG-unresponsive NMIBC (the “2021 Restructuring Plan”).

The 2021 Restructuring Plan included a reduction in the Company’s workforce by 18 positions (or approximately 35% of the Company’s workforce as of the date of the 2021 Restructuring Plan), as well as additional cost-saving initiatives intended to preserve capital while the Company continues development of Vicineum. The following is a summary of accrued restructuring costs related to the 2021 Restructuring Plan, (in thousands):

The Company expects that substantially all of the accrued restructuring costs as of June 30, 2022 will be paid in cash by the end of September 2022.

Subsequent to June 30, 2022, the Company approved a restructuring plan to reduce operating expenses and better align its workforce with the needs of its business following the decision to voluntarily pause further development of Vicineum in the US. See further discussion in Note 19. “Subsequent Events.”
