During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company incurred approximately $1,027 in restructuring costs, primarily related to severance costs. These costs were paid out in the fourth quarter of 2025.

On November 2, 2023, the Company announced a restructuring plan to prioritize the commercialization of VOWST and the completion of the SER-155 Phase 1b study, while significantly reducing costs and supporting longer-term business sustainability. The restructuring plan included (i) a reduction of the Company’s workforce by approximately 41% across the organization, resulting in the elimination of approximately 160 positions; (ii) significantly scaling back all non-partnered research and development activities other than the completion of the SER-155 Phase 1b study; and (iii) reducing general and administrative expenses, including consolidating office space.

During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company recognized a restructuring charge of $5,606, which was incurred entirely in the fourth quarter of 2023, and which represents all restructuring charges expected to be incurred. $3,481 of the total restructuring charges was included in research and development expenses and the remaining $2,125 in general and administrative expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) for the year ended December 31, 2023. Restructuring charges included approximately $5,345 of employee related termination costs in the form of salary continuation and cash severance payments, and $261 related to the acceleration of vesting of certain previously granted RSUs and PSUs.
