Item 8.01 Other Events.
The Company has instituted a Company-wide operational pause in order to conserve capital. The Company has furloughed most of its employees and paused most of its operations until further notice while the Company continues to seek financing or additional capital. The Board is currently discussing and evaluating a course of action in light of the Company’s limited capital resources, such operational pause and the resignations described above.
As previously disclosed in the Company’s public filings, in the event that the Company is unable to secure financing or raise additional capital, it may be forced to (i) further delay, reduce the scope of or eliminate one or more of the Company’s drug development programs, (ii) relinquish, license or otherwise dispose of rights to technologies, drug candidates or products that it would otherwise seek to develop or commercialize at an earlier stage or on terms that are less favorable than might otherwise be available or (iii) liquidate and dissolve the Company. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to raise additional capital when needed or on terms that are favorable to it, if at all.
