Note 4. Restructuring

On August 8, 2023, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a broad-based strategic reprioritization (the “Reprioritization”). The Company took actions to reduce certain operational and workforce expenses that were no longer deemed core to ongoing operations in order to extend its cash runway and drive innovation and growth in high potential clinical development and value creating opportunities. These actions included a shift in commercial strategy for IGALMITM in the institutional setting, a reduction of in-hospital commercialization expenses, a suspension of programs no longer determined to be core to ongoing operations, and a prioritization of at-home treatment setting opportunities for BXCL501.

As part of this strategy, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a reduction of approximately 60% of the Company’s workforce. The Company notified impacted employees on August 14, 2023 and recorded total restructuring costs of $4,163 for the year ended December 31, 2023. These costs consisted of severance and benefit costs of $4,063 and contract termination costs of $100. The Company paid $3,998 of severance and benefit costs and $100 of contract

termination costs in the year ended December 31, 2023. The Reprioritization was substantially complete as of December 31, 2023, and the remaining costs were paid during the first quarter of 2024.

On May 8, 2024 the Company took additional actions as part of its continued efforts to preserve cash and prioritize investment in its core clinical programs. As part of these actions, the Company initiated a further reduction of approximately 15% of the Company’s then current workforce. The Company notified impacted employees on May 8, 2024 and recorded total restructuring costs of $856 for the three months ended June 30, 2024. These costs consisted of severance and benefit costs, all of which were paid during the three month period ended June 30, 2024.

On September 17, 2024, the Company approved a plan for an additional reduction in its workforce of 15 employees, or approximately 28% of the Company’s headcount (the “Clinical Prioritization”), in order to extend its cash runway and prioritize investment on the clinical development of its lead neuroscience asset, BXCL501. The Company estimates that it will incur aggregate charges in connection with the Clinical Prioritization of approximately $1,553 which relate primarily to severance and benefits costs. Accordingly, the Company recorded a restructuring charge of $1,553 in the third quarter 2024, which is included in Accrued Expenses on the Condensed Consolidated Balance at September 30, 2024. The Company completed the Clinical Prioritization in October 2024, and expects to pay the related costs during the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
