Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 21, 2016, Biodel Inc. ("Biodel") committed to a restructuring plan resulting in a reduction in force affecting 15 employees, none of whom are executives.

As a result of the restructuring plan, Biodel estimates that it will incur one-time cash severance payments of approximately $1.3 million.
