Restructuring and Related Activities [Abstract] |
RESTRUCTURING CHARGES | RESTRUCTURING CHARGES April Restructuring On April 26, 2023, the Company executed a restructuring of operations and a corresponding reduction in workforce (the “April Restructuring”), designed to reduce costs and increase focus on certain strategic priorities. The April Restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 110 roles, including 55 full-time employees and 55 contracted employees and eliminated open positions, in the United States, or approximately 23% of the total United States workforce as of April 26, 2023, and included one-time severance payments and other employee-related costs, including additional vesting of service-based stock compensation awards. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has estimated that it will incur $5.0 million in expenses related to employee severance and notice period payments, benefits and related restructuring charges for the April Restructuring, of which $3.8 million has been included in research and development expense and $1.2 million has been included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects the April Restructuring and the cash payments related to the April Restructuring to be substantially complete by the third quarter of 2024. November Restructuring On November 1, 2023, the Company executed a restructuring of operations and a corresponding reduction in workforce (the “November Restructuring”), designed to reduce costs and advance its strategic transformation into a neurology-focused genomic medicine company. The November Restructuring resulted in the elimination of approximately 162 roles, including 108 full-time employees and 54 contracted employees and eliminated open positions, in the United States, or approximately 40% of the total United States workforce, and included one-time severance payments and other employee-related costs, including additional vesting of service-based stock compensation awards. As of December 31, 2023, the Company has estimated it will incur approximately $8.7 million to $9.7 million in expenses related to employee severance and notice period payments, benefits, Brisbane facility close-out costs, and other related restructuring charges for the November Restructuring. The Company incurred $6.7 million of expenses in the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $5.0 million is included in research and development expense and $1.7 million is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects to incur additional estimated costs of $2.0 million to $3.0 million through the second quarter of 2024. The Company expects the November Restructuring and the cash payments related to the November Restructuring to be substantially complete by the second quarter of 2024. France Restructuring In November 2023, the Company initiated an information and consultation procedure with the Works Council for its Valbonne, France workforce regarding a planned wind-down of Sangamo’s French operations and a corresponding reduction in workforce, including planned closure of the Company’s cell therapy manufacturing facility and research labs in Valbonne, France. The information and consultation procedure with the Works Council resulted in the definition of an acceptable set of termination provisions including payouts to departing employees and were a required step before the Company could eliminate positions at Sangamo France. The information and consultation procedure of the Works Council was completed in the first quarter of 2024 and the Board of Directors approved the wind-down and reduction in workforce (the “France Restructuring”) on March 1, 2024. The France Restructuring is estimated to eliminate all 93 roles in France, or approximately 24% of the total global workforce as of March 1, 2024. The Company is expected to make severance payments as required by French law and the terms of the applicable collective bargaining agreements, and other employee-related costs. The Company concluded that payouts under the France Restructuring are a result of an ongoing post-employment benefit plan, and that payments were probable and could be estimated as of December 31, 2023. The Company estimates it will incur approximately $7.8 million to $11.5 million in expenses related to employee severance and notice period payments, benefits, contract termination costs, and other related restructuring charges for the France Restructuring. The Company incurred $4.7 million of expenses during the year ended December 31, 2023, of which $3.6 million is included in research and development expense and $1.1 million is included in general and administrative expense in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company expects to incur additional estimated costs of $3.1 million to $6.8 million through the fourth quarter of 2024. The Company expects the France Restructuring and its related cash payments to be completed no later than the fourth quarter of 2024. The following table is a summary of accrued April, November, and France Restructuring charges included within other accrued liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2023 (in thousands):
