(5) Restructuring Charges

In October 2015, the Board of Directors of the Company recommended that management evaluate strategic alternatives for Zenara due to a change in focus on higher growth initiatives as well as to reduce attention required by senior management to operate Zenara.

As a result of that evaluation, Cambrex management, with Board authority, committed to a plan to sell Zenara. The immaterial assets and liabilities of Zenara are included in “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” and “Accrued expenses and other current liabilities” on the Company’s balance sheet for all periods

presented. Restructuring expenses of $154 and $444 have been included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016, respectively.
