Note 12 – Restructuring

 

In March 2020, the Company adopted the 2020 Plan in response to the ongoing disruptions from the COVID-19 outbreak, and to better align its cost structure with the resources required to more efficiently and effectively execute on its commercial strategy of creating a strong foundation in the market by establishing national and regional hospital networks as Pure Vu reference centers. Most significantly, the 2020 Plan resulted in the reduction of the Company's overall headcount by approximately 50%, including a significant reduction of the Company's commercial team in the US, the implementation of tighter expense controls, and the termination of the lease of the Company's planned corporate office facility in Norwood, Massachusetts. These activities were initiated in the first quarter of 2020, with the majority of activity completed in the second quarter of 2020.

 

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Company recorded charges of $0 and $624, respectively, related to the 2020 Plan. Of that amount, the Company paid $8 during the third quarter of 2020.
