Restructuring Expenses

Beginning in 2013, the Company implemented several workforce restructurings to reduce operating costs, better focus its organizational structure, increase efficiency and concentrate financial resources on its clinical development program and European commercialization activity. This resulted in a total reduction in the Company’s workforce by 59 employees. As a result of termination benefits provided to these employees the Company has incurred a total restructuring charge of approximately $5.5 million for employee related expenses. At June 30, 2015, the remaining restructuring reserve of approximately $0.5 million is included in Accrued expenses on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.

In order to help reduce operating costs and more appropriately align its office space with the reduced size of its workforce, the Company entered into two sub-leases for office space at its 810 Seventh Avenue office. On May 22, 2014, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement (“Sub-lease #1”) for approximately one-half of the office space at this location (“Suite 3500”), resulting in a lease restructuring reserve of approximately $0.9 million. On August 18, 2014, the Company entered into a sub-lease agreement (“Sub-lease #2”) for the remaining one-half of office space at its 810 Seventh Avenue office (“Suite 3505”), resulting in a lease restructuring reserve of approximately $0.7 million. As of June 30, 2015, the total remaining lease restructuring liability for its leased office space was approximately $1.1 million, of which approximately $0.2 million and $0.9 million were included in Accrued expenses and Other non-current liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, respectively.
