T2 Biosystems Inc. (NASDAQ:TTOO), a leading innovator in the fight against sepsis, is taking a bold move to maximize value through a strategic alternatives process. To support this process, the Company has also implemented a restructuring plan that includes a reduction in force. With cutting-edge technology to rapidly detect sepsis-causing pathogens and antibiotic resistance genes, T2 Biosystems strives to make an impact in the healthcare industry and defeat sepsis.
The Company is actively exploring ways to increase value for its shareholders – including potential mergers, acquisitions, asset sales, and other strategic transactions. An advisory firm has been engaged to evaluate all possibilities and help the Board of Directors make a decision that is best for the company. While progress is being made, updates will be reserved until the Board determines suitable timing or is obligated to disclose.
The Company recently implemented a strategic restructuring program designed to reduce annual operating costs through the reduction of nearly 30% of its workforce. As well as preserving capital and better positioning the Company to explore all strategic alternatives, the restructuring program will continue to support its customers, pursue new commercial opportunities and advance pipeline development.
