Theratechnologies Announces Operational Update
24 October 2023 - 10:00PM
Theratechnologies Inc. (“Theratechnologies” or the “Company”) (TSX:
TH) (NASDAQ: THTX), a biopharmaceutical company focused on the
development and commercialization of innovative therapies, today
announced further changes to its operations that will see a
tapering of R&D activities, which necessitates a reduction of
up to 25 positions. The Company expects to realize recurring yearly
savings of approximately US$3.5 million resulting from this
reorganization and will record a restructuring charge of
approximately US$1.5 million in its fourth quarter of 2023.
"The decision announced today was difficult to
make, but it is aligned with our goal to build a profitable
organization and deliver returns to our shareholders,” said Paul
Lévesque, President and Chief Executive Officer, Theratechnologies.
“We sincerely appreciate the contributions of those impacted, which
indeed were instrumental in making Theratechnologies a better
organization.”
The Company is committed to delivering on Part 3
of the Phase 1 clinical trial in advanced ovarian cancer for
sudocetaxel zendusortide. All future clinical research activities
in oncology and NASH will be made through partnership deals. With
the completion of major lifecycle management projects in HIV, the
Company’s medical capabilities remain key to conveying the science
behind its products and achieving business growth from organic and
inorganic opportunities.

"should", "could", “promising”, “would”, "outlook", "believe",
"plan", "envisage", "anticipate", "expect" and "estimate", or the
negatives of these terms, or variations of them. The
Forward-Looking Statements contained in this press release include,

savings to result from the reorganization, the capacity of the
Company to grow its business and to become profitable and the
capacity of the Company to enter into partnership to pursue
clinical research activities. Although the Forward-Looking
Statements contained in this press release are based upon what the
Company believes are reasonable assumptions in light of the
information currently available, investors are cautioned against
placing undue reliance on this information since actual results may
vary from the forward-looking information. Certain assumptions made
in preparing the Forward-Looking Statements include that: sales of
our products will continue to grow in the United States, we will
not breach any of the terms and conditions of the credit agreement
with Marathon, we will be able to control our costs and we will be
able to find partners and enter into agreements with them on terms

differ materially from those that are disclosed in or implied by
such Forward-Looking Statements. These risks and uncertainties
include, but are not limited to, those related to or arising from:
non-compliance with the terms and conditions of the credit
agreement with Marathon that could lead Marathon to seize the
assets of the Company, unplanned expenses or costs that will reduce
the anticipated yearly savings from the reorganization which, in
turn, may annihilate the capacity of the Company to become
profitable, a decrease in sales of the Company’s products and the
inability of the Company to attract partners to pursue clinical
research activities. We refer current and potential investors to
the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Information Form dated
February 27, 2023, available on SEDAR+ at www.sedarplus.ca and on
