    Item 1.03 Bankruptcy or Receivership
    On December 6, 2024, Yield10 Bioscience, Inc. ("Yield10" or the “Company”) and its two wholly owned subsidiaries, Yield10 Bioscience Securities Corp. and Yield10 Oilseeds Inc., filed a voluntary petition for relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the “Bankruptcy Court”), thereby commencing a Chapter 11 case for the Company (Case No. 24-12752, Case No. 24-12753 and Case No. 24-12755). The Company continues to operate its business as a “debtor-in-possession” under the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Bankruptcy Code and orders of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company is seeking approval of a variety of “first day” motions containing customary relief intended to enable the Company to continue its ordinary course operations. The Company intends to sell substantially all of its assets during the bankruptcy case.
    Item 2.05 - Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
    On November 20, 2024, the board of directors of Yield10 approved the Company’s wind down of operations and corresponding reduction in workforce, designed to reduce costs and reallocate resources while maintaining the minimum personnel needed to support the Company’s operations and sale of its assets. The restructuring reduced the Company’s workforce to three (3) remaining part-time employees, including its President and CEO, Vice President – Finance and Chief Accounting Officer and its Controller. The Company may incur charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or associated with, the restructuring.
    Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers
    In connection with the wind down of the Company’s operations discussed in Item 2.05 above, the employment with the Company of Lynne H. Brum, Vice President, Planning and Communications was terminated without cause effective November 29, 2024. In addition, effective December 6, 2024, Sherri M. Brown, Ph.D., Anthony J. Sinskey, Sc.D. and Willie Loh, Ph.D., resigned as members of the Company’s board of directors.
    The Company would like to thank Ms. Brum, Dr. Brown, Dr. Sinskey, and Dr. Loh for their commitment and guidance to the Company.
