The Board of Directors of Amedica Corporation (NASDAQ:AMDA) authorized the implementation of certain cost saving measures which included a reduction in staff of 21 employees, or approximately 38% of the company’s workforce as the result of a comprehensive business review to improve financial performance, increase operational efficiencies and strengthen the Company’s value proposition.

Conditional on the execution of a release of potential claims, all employees whose employment is being terminated as part of the workforce reduction will be provided with severance pay and benefits.

 

Amedica estimates the staff reductions will result in savings of approximately $2.0 million in cash operating expenses on a going forward basis, with estimated one-time severance and related costs related to the restructuring of approximately $465 thousand expected to be recorded in the 4th quarter of 2016. Amedica does not anticipate that there will be any further material future cash expenditure associated with the workforce reduction. The estimated savings and costs noted above are subject to a number of assumptions. Actual results and experience may differ materially as a result of various important factors, including the risks and uncertainties described under the heading “Forward- Looking Statements” in the press release attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, which are incorporated by reference herein. Amedica may incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the workforce reduction.
