Restructuring Liabilities | Restructuring Liabilities Research and Development Restructuring In February 2017, the Company decided to consolidate its research activities into its Boston, Milton Park and San Diego locations and to close the research site in Canada. As a result, the Company is in the process of closing one of its research sites. In connection with this decision, approximately 70 positions were affected. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $12.4 million, including $6.9 million for employee salary, severance and benefit costs, $2.2 million in assets associated with the restructuring that have become impaired and $3.3 million for other costs primarily related to the Company’s exit from the facility. The restructuring charge and other activities recorded during the the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and the related liability balance as of June 30, 2017 were as follows:
2003 Kendall Restructuring In 2003, the Company adopted a plan to restructure its operations to coincide with its increasing internal emphasis on advancing drug candidates through clinical development to commercialization. The restructuring liability relates to specialized laboratory and office space that is leased to the Company pursuant to a 15-year lease that terminates in 2018. The Company has not used more than 50% of this space since it adopted the plan to restructure its operations in 2003. This unused laboratory and office space currently is subleased to third parties. The activities related to the restructuring liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
Fan Pier Move Restructuring In connection with the relocation of its Massachusetts operations to Fan Pier in Boston, Massachusetts, which commenced in 2013, the Company is incurring restructuring charges related to its remaining lease obligations at its facilities in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The majority of these restructuring charges were recorded in the third quarter of 2014 upon decommissioning three facilities in Cambridge. During 2015, the Company terminated two of these lease agreements resulting in a credit to restructuring expense equal to the difference between the Company’s estimated future cash flows related to its lease obligations for these facilities and the termination payment paid to the Company’s landlord on the effective date of the termination. The third major facility included in this restructuring activity is 120,000 square feet of the Kendall Square Facility that the Company continued to use for its operations following its 2003 Kendall Restructuring. The rentable square footage in this portion of the Kendall Square Facility was subleased to a third party in February 2015. The Company will continue to incur charges through April 2018 related to the difference between the Company’s estimated future cash flows related to this portion of the Kendall Square Facility, which include an estimate for sublease income to be received from the Company’s sublessee and its actual cash flows. The Company discounted the estimated cash flows related to this restructuring activity at a discount rate of 9%. The activities related to the restructuring liability for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 were as follows:
Other Restructuring Activities The Company has engaged in several other restructuring activities that are unrelated to its Research and Development Restructuring, 2003 Kendall Restructuring and Fan Pier Move Restructuring. The most significant activity commenced in October 2013 when the Company adopted a restructuring plan that included (i) a workforce reduction primarily related to the commercial support of INCIVEK following the continued and rapid decline in the number of patients being treated with INCIVEK as new medicines for the treatment of HCV infection neared approval and (ii) the write-off of certain assets. This action resulted from the Company’s decision to focus its investment on future opportunities in CF and other research and development programs. The remaining restructuring activities were completed in 2016. As such, there was no outstanding liability as of June 30, 2017. The activities related to the Company’s other restructuring liabilities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 were as follows:
