Restructuring Restructuring
In April 2023, in light of then-current market conditions, the Board of Directors took steps to extend the Company’s cash runway by pausing further development of the Company’s product candidate, SEL-302, for the treatment of methylmalonic acidemia, and conducting a targeted headcount reduction. On August 17, 2023, the Company announced additional steps to extend cash runway and maximize value for stockholders by continuing to prioritize development of the Company’s product candidate, SEL-212, and support of its collaboration with Astellas for Xork, and pausing further development of all of the Company’s other clinical and preclinical product candidates that it was no longer actively advancing. As a result of these measures, the Company implemented a restructuring plan that resulted in an approximate 90% reduction of the Company’s headcount as of April 2023.
The following table summarizes the change in the Company’s accrued restructuring balance included in accrued expenses and other current liabilities on its consolidated balance sheets (in thousands):
