Item 2.05 Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities.
On November 8, 2024, the Company implemented a strategic reorganization to sharpen the Company’s focus on growth. This reorganization resulted in a workforce reduction of approximately 10% and will focus the Company’s commercial strategy on the highest growth drivers. The reorganization will also improve operational efficiency, with anticipated post-reorganization annualized cash savings of more than $3.5 million. The Company expects to recognize approximately $0.4 million in total expenses for severance and related benefits for employees impacted by the reduction in force, consisting primarily of severance payments and related benefits. The Company may also incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the reduction in force.
