On December 17, 2012, Enzon Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that its Board of Directors (the “Board”) has retained Lazard to act as a financial advisor in a review of the possible sale or disposition of one or more corporate assets, or a sale of the Company. The Company also announced that it plans to suspend its clinical development activities. The decision to engage Lazard and suspend the Company’s clinical development activities was authorized by the Board on December 14, 2012. A special committee of the Board was established on November 7, 2012 and will oversee this review.
In connection with its plans to suspend clinical development, the Company expects to reduce its workforce, which currently consists of approximately 43 employees, by approximately 15-20 employees. The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $1.4 million in charges related to the reduction in force, all of which would result in cash expenditures for one-time employee termination benefits and associated costs. The Company expects to record the charges and complete the reduction in force in the first quarter of 2013.
