The Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) approved this strategic restructuring, effective June 14, 2026, in order to preserve shareholder capital as the Company awaits  additional durability data and meetings with the Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) in connection with the Company’s LEGEND pivotal cohort.  The Company has retained personnel and resources required to meet its key strategic goals and milestones, including completion of the LEGEND Cohort 1; enrolling the detalimogene plus surfactant cohort; meeting with the FDA and planning for Biologics License Application (“BLA”) initiation in the second half of 2026; and completing necessary pre-commercial activities required to support the commercial launch of detalimogene in 2027, if approved.  The Company currently estimates it will incur restructuring costs of approximately $5.7 to $6.4 million, consisting primarily of employee severance, benefits, and other related costs, as well as approximately $4.7 million to $5.0 million in non-cash stock-based compensation expense primarily associated with accelerated vesting of stock options.\n\nFurther, in connection with the strategic restructuring, on June 14, 2026, the Company’s board of directors approved performance-based cash retention bonus awards for certain executive employees and the non-executive employees of the Company. Subject to remaining actively employed and in good standing with the Company, aggregate cash retention bonus awards of approximately $1.7 million will be paid upon the achievement of two milestones: (i) the completion of the pre-BLA meeting with the FDA relating to detalimogene on or prior to December 31, 2026 and (ii) confirmation from the FDA that the Company’s filing of the BLA with the FDA with respect to detalimogene has been completed and accepted by the FDA, provided that such confirmation is received by the Company from the FDA no later than September 30, 2027.   \n\nThe estimated charges that the Company expects to incur as a result of the restructuring are subject to several assumptions, and actual results may differ materially from these estimates. The Company may incur additional costs due to events associated with or resulting from the strategic restructuring and workforce reduction. The Company expects to record the majority of these expenses in the second half of 2026."}
