AMAG Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (AMAG) to Slash Workforce, CEO Resigns


11/7/2011 8:23:02 AM

Amag Pharmaceuticals Inc's (AMAG.O) chief executive resigned and the biopharmaceuticals company said it will cut its workforce by a quarter to slash costs, sending its shares up 16 percent in early trade on Friday. The restructuring comes just two weeks after Amag's plan to buy Allos Therapeutics Inc (ALTH.O) fell apart, after its shareholders refused to approve the deal.
