On April 4, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 42% across all areas of the Company (47% inclusive of the closing of the majority of open positions) following the receipt of the CRL from the FDA to the Company’s NDA for vadadustat for the treatment of anemia due to CKD in adult patients. On May 5, 2022, the Company implemented a further reduction in workforce consisting of several members of management. These actions reflected the Company’s determination to refocus its strategic priorities around its commercial product, Auryxia®, and its development portfolio, and are steps in a cost savings plan to significantly reduce the Company’s expense profile.
The workforce reductions were completed as of December 31, 2022, and the Company has incurred all related charges. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $14.5 million of restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations. These charges included $11.3 million of one-time termination benefits and contractual termination benefits for severance, healthcare, and related benefits and $3.2 million of non-cash share-based compensation expense. The charges were recorded pursuant to ASC 712, Compensation-Nonretirement Postemployment Benefits or ASC 420, Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations, depending on the employee.
On November 7, 2022, the Board of Directors approved a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 14% consisting solely of individuals within the commercial organization as a result of the Company’s decision to shift to a strategic account management focused model for its commercial efforts. This shift in approach supports the Company’s strategic pillars to drive Auryxia revenue while also continuing to decrease operating costs.
The workforce reduction was completed as of December 31, 2022, and the Company has incurred all related charges. During the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company recognized $1.4 million of restructuring charges in the consolidated statement of operations.
