15. Reduction in Workforce

In December 2019, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to reduce operating costs and better align the Company’s workforce with its business needs following the Company’s November 2019 announcement regarding that top line data from the PROTECTOR 1 Phase 3 study, evaluating the safety and efficacy of RTB101 in preventing clinically symptomatic respiratory illness in adults age 65 and older, did not meet its primary endpoint, and that the Company has stopped the development of RTB101 in this indication.

Under the restructuring plan, the Company reduced its workforce by 8 employees (approximately 22% of total employees). Affected employees are eligible to receive severance payments and outplacement services in connection with the reduction. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company recorded aggregate restructuring charges of approximately $0.6 million related to severance payments and other employee-related costs. The Company does not expect to incur any additional significant costs associated with this restructuring. During the year ended December 31, 2019, $66,000 of the estimated restructuring charges were paid. The Company expects the remaining accrued restructuring costs of $0.5 million will be paid in the next 12 months.

The following table shows the total amount expected to be incurred and the liability related to the 2019 restructuring as of December 31, 2019:
