Financial impact of corporate restructuring
Recent setbacks in the peramivir & BCX5191 programs, as well as the delay in the
BCX4161 program, necessitate a significant reduction in BioCryst’s cost structure
Significant operating expense
reductions provide a 38-45%
decrease in 2013 cash use vs.
$40 million guidance for 2012
Reduction of 38 positions (50%) in the
employee base lowers infrastructure
costs
The restructuring significantly reduces BioCryst’s cost base, extends its cash
runway into 2014 and enables the achievement of additional value
creating events
