Aeterna Zentaris announces workforce reduction and optimization program

Aeterna Zentaris announced the roll-out of a global resources optimization program as the Company pursues its strategy of transitioning into a commercially operating specialty biopharmaceutical company. Initiated earlier this year, the program's goal is to streamline R&D activities and increase commercial operations and flexibility. With the implementation of the global resources optimization program, the Company expects to have approximately 65 employees by year-end, as compared to 90 employees at the beginning of 2014. Due to the nature of certain proceedings, the Company intends to provide an estimate of the anticipated global restructuring charges and future cost savings as and when the financial and accounting implications of the global resources optimization program become better defined.
