3.   Discontinued Operations

On November 3, 2022, the Company announced it was seeking to divest its contract development and manufacturing organization (iBio CDMO, LLC) in order to complete its transformation into an antibody discovery and development company. In conjunction with the divestment, the Company commenced a workforce reduction of approximately 60% of the current Company staffing levels (a reduction of approximately 69 positions). The Company substantially completed the employee reduction by January 2, 2023.

Through the process of seeking to divest its contract development and manufacturing organization, the Company entered into a Purchase and Sale Agreement Majestic Realty to sell to Majestic Realty for a purchase price of $17,250,000 the Facility consisting of: (i) the ground leasehold estate and interest held under the Ground Lease Agreement, dated March 8, 2010, as amended by an Estoppel Certificate and Amendment to Ground Lease Agreement, dated as of December 22, 2015, between iBio CDMO (as assignee from College Station Investors LLC) and The Board of Regents of the Texas A&M University System (together, the “Ground Lease”), related to 21.401 acres in Brazos County, Texas land (the “Land”); (ii) the buildings, parking areas, improvements, and fixtures situated on the Land (the “Improvements”); (iii) all iBio CDMO’s right, title, and interest in and to furniture, personal property, machinery, apparatus, and equipment owned and currently used in the operation, repair and maintenance of the Land and Improvements and situated thereon (collectively, the “Personal Property”); (iii) all iBio CDMO’s rights under the contracts and agreements relating to the operation or maintenance of the Land, Improvements or Personal Property which extend beyond the closing date (the “Contracts”); and (iv) all iBio CDMO’s rights in intangible assets of any nature relating to any or all of the Land, the Improvements and the Personal Property (the “Intangibles”; and together with the Ground Lease, Improvements and Personal Property, collectively, the “Property”). On November 7, 2023, the Company received written notice from Majestic Realty of its election to terminate the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated as of September 15, 2023, between Majestic Realty and iBio CDMO LLC, pursuant to which iBio CDMO had agreed to sell to Majestic Realty the Property. The property continues to be listed for sale.

Additionally, on February 10, 2023, the Company, entered into an Auction Sale Agreement (the “Auction Sale Agreement”) with Holland Industrial Group, together with Federal Equipment Company and Capital Recovery Group LLC (collectively, the “Auctioneers”) for the sale at public auction of equipment and other tangible personal property (the “Equipment”) located at the Facility.  The Auctioneer guaranteed an amount of gross proceeds from the sale of the equipment of $2.1 million, which was paid to the Company on February 17, 2023. The auction, which commenced on March 24, 2023 and concluded on March 30, 2023, resulted in total proceeds of approximately $2.9 million.  In accordance with the Auction Sale Agreement, the Company received 80% of the excess proceeds, after Holland Industrial Group’s $0.2 million fee. Total proceeds received in Fiscal 2023 were approximately $2.6 million.

The Company incurred pre-tax charges of approximately $1.9 million in Fiscal 2023 for the employee reduction which consisted of severance obligations, continuation of salaries and benefits over a 60-day transitional period during which impacted employees remain employed but were not expected to provide active service, and other customary employee benefit payments in connection with an employee reduction.  The Company further recorded a charge in discontinued operations for approximately $35.7 million in Fiscal 2023, of which approximately $17.9 million was the result of a fixed asset impairment charge (see Note 11 – Fixed Assets for more information), approximately $4.9 million to write down inventory to its net realizable value, approximately $7.5 million of personnel costs including severance, approximately $0.9 million of interest related to the term note payable, and the balance related to operational costs related to winding down the CDMO business. Expenses incurred during the three months ended September 30, 2023 related to operational costs related to winding down the CDMO business.

The results of iBio CDMO's operations are reported as discontinued operations for three months ended September 30, 2023 and for the three months ended September 30, 2022. In addition, those assets and liabilities associated with the discontinued operations of the CDMO that the Company intends to sell have been classified as “held for sale” on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2023 and as of June 30, 2023. The Company has chosen not to segregate the cash flows of iBio CDMO in the consolidated statement of cash flows.  Supplemental disclosures related to discontinued operations for the statements of cash flows have been provided below. Unless noted otherwise, discussion in the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements refers to the Company's continuing operations.
