Item 2.05 Costs associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On July 20, 2022, Angion committed to and commenced a reduction in force that will impact the majority of Angion’s current 37 employees. Angion’s decision to engage in this reduction results from Angion’s Board of Director's determination to commence a process to explore and pursue strategic options to enhance and preserve shareholder value. At this time, Angion is discontinuing development of ANG-3070 for all indications and discontinuing most other development activities pending conclusion of the strategic process. The reduction in force is a cash preservation measure and impacts employees across the organization.

Angion expects to record a charge of approximately $2.9 million in the third quarter of 2022 to implement the reduction in force, which is expected to conclude in October of 2022. These charges are primarily one-time termination benefits in cash.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

    As part of Angion's reduction in force, John F. Neylan, M.D., EVP, Chief Medical Officer and Head of Research, will depart Angion effective August 15, 2022. Dr. Neylan has served as Angion's Chief Medical Officer since December of 2018. Dr. Neylan is eligible to receive severance benefits under Angion’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan, dated November 19, 2021, filed as an exhibit to Angion’s Form 10-K on March 30, 2022.
