Progenity will stop offering its Preparent® Carrier Test, Innatal® Prenatal Screen, Riscover® Hereditary Cancer Test, and Resura® Prenatal Test, as well as other genetic laboratory-developed tests, through its CLIA-certified laboratory in Ann Arbor, Michigan. This strategic transition will take around 60 days to complete and will result in the layoff of about 374 individuals across Progenity and Avero, or around 56 percent of PROG’s entire employment. Annualized SG&A cost savings of over $130 million are also envisaged as a result of the transition. Before any non-dilutive inflows, PROG’s capital requirements after accounting for the transformation expenditures are projected to be about $4-5 million per month.
