TomoTherapy Incorporated announced that it has reduced its workforce by approximately 12% through a combination of layoffs and the elimination of open positions.
As a result of this action, the Company estimates that it will generate annual savings of approximately $5.4 million beginning in 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company will incur a one-time charge of approximately $1.8 million related to severance costs.
"This action, while difficult, was a necessary response to the slowing growth TomoTherapy is experiencing as a result of the challenging economic conditions," said Fred Robertson, TomoTherapy's CEO.
