(16) Restructuring and severance

In February 2023, the Company announced an updated business strategy, including revisions to the Company’s technology roadmap. In connection with this updated strategy, the Company implemented a workforce reduction to focus the organization and its resources on nearer-term strategic priorities. The reduction in the workforce impacted approximately 50 employees or approximately 28% of the Company’s then workforce. Affected employees were offered separation benefits, including severance payments and temporary healthcare coverage assistance. The Company began implementing activities with respect to the revised business plan, updated technology roadmap and reduction in workforce in February 2023 and incurred a restructuring charge of $1.0 million which was paid in full during 2023. Work activities regarding the revised business plan and updated technology roadmap are ongoing.

In addition to the charge for restructuring, the Company also incurred $1.0 million for contractual severance benefits related to executive officers of the Company that were terminated in the year ended December 31, 2023. The remaining balance in the Company’s accrual for contractual severance benefits related to executive officers as of December 31, 2023 of $0.2 million was paid out monthly through February 2024.
