Item 2.05.   Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On June 14, 2016, Corium International, Inc. (the “Company”) approved and initiated a reduction in its workforce of employees and contractors to align resources with its current clinical development priorities. In particular, the reduction is being implemented to maximize the Company’s ability to pursue its lead clinical program in Alzheimer’s disease, which is on an accelerated development pathway based on recent regulatory guidance. The reduction affects approximately 17% of the Company’s total workforce, including employees and contractors, and includes its locations in the San Francisco Bay Area and Western Michigan. Following completion of this reduction, which the Company estimates will result in charges of approximately $0.3 million and require cash expenditures totaling approximately $0.5 million, the Company’s workforce will be approximately 20% lower than it was at September 30, 2015 (the end of the Company’s last fiscal year). The Company expects the reduction in workforce to be substantially completed by the end of June 2016 and fully completed by the end of December 2016.

Any statements contained herein that do not describe historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the expected timing, size and benefits of the reduction in work force, the costs and cash expenditures associated with the reduction in workforce, and the Company’s business strategy and plans with respect to its clinical programs following the reduction in workforce, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on management’s current assumptions, expectations and beliefs and involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the risk that the Company may not achieve all of the expected benefits and savings from the reduction in workforce if implementation requires additional time or cost, as well as the risks identified in the Company’s filings with the SEC, including its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016, filed with the SEC on May 13, 2016 and subsequent filings with the SEC.
