| Item 2.05 | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities |
The Board of Directors of Anchiano Therapeutics Ltd. (the “Company”) approved management’s recommendation to close the Company’s office and laboratories located in Israel. The decision to close the office and laboratories in Israel was made primarily due to the discontinuation of the Company’s Phase 2 Codex study as previously announced and is consistent with management’s stated intention of focusing the Company’s resources on its pan-RAS and PDE10/ß-catenin programs. Following the closure of the Israeli facilities, the Company’s sole office will continue to be located in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
The Company is in the process of estimating costs associated with the closure. After the Company is able to estimate such costs, the Company will report such costs in its periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company expects the closure process to begin over the course of the next several weeks and conclude by April 30, 2020, during which it expects to incur the majority of the anticipated costs.
| Item 7.01 | Regulation FD Disclosure |
On February 3, 2020, the Company made available on its website presentation materials containing certain information relating to the Company’s pan-RAS and PDE10/ß-catenin programs.
The information provided in Item 7.01 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall the information or Exhibit 99.1 be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
