Explanatory Note

 

On April 6, 2017, Acorda Therapeutics, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report a corporate restructuring to reduce its cost structure (the “Original Report”). This amendment is being filed by the Company for the purpose of updating the Original Report.

 

Item 2.05          Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

 

At the time of the Original Report, the Company was unable to provide an estimate of the non-severance related costs relating to the restructuring until the completion of an internal review. The Company has now substantially completed its review and estimates that the non-severance related costs relating to restructuring will be approximately $100,000.
