Infinity Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: INFI) (“Infinity” or the “Company”), a clinical-stage biotechnology company developing eganelisib, a potential first-in-class, oral, immuno-oncology macrophage reprogramming therapeutic, today announced a series of actions designed to reduce the Company’s burn rate and enhance our ability to maximize value of eganelisib, following the termination of its previously announced merger agreement with MEI Pharma, Inc.

The Company continues to believe, based on the data generated to date, that eganelisib offers a near-term value creation opportunity that would be attractive to potential third-party acquirers. Infinity has advanced eganelisib toward the initiation of a planned global Phase 2 clinical trial in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma, and, following FDA feedback, has submitted the final protocol to the FDA.

Infinity’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) intends to seek a strategic transaction to maximize eganelisib’s potential and intends to retain SSG Capital Advisors LLC, an independent investment bank, to lead this process.

In parallel, in order to reduce ongoing expenditures Infinity is implementing the following measures:

  • A reduction in force of 21 employees or approximately 78% of the current workforce.
  • A reduction in the size of the Board from eight members to five, with Dr. Brian Schwartz, Dr. Sam Agresta, and Mr. Sujay Kango departing.
  • The remaining five members of the Board have agreed to serve without compensation for the remainder of their Board service.

The reduction in force and other value preservation measures are expected to result in a one-time charge of $3.4 million in severance and restructuring costs in the third quarter of 2023.

The Company is evaluating whether to withdraw the request that it submitted to Nasdaq for an appeal of Nasdaq’s delisting determination regarding the Company’s common stock. The Company expects that a withdrawal would result in the delisting of its shares from Nasdaq.
