On July 22, 2021, CM Life Sciences, Inc., a special purpose acquisition entity, completed its business combination with Mount Sinai Genomics, Inc. and the combined public entity was renamed Sema4. Less than a year later, on June 14, 2022, Sema4 announced that its chief financial officer had left.

Then, on August 15, 2022, after the market closed, Sema4 announced changes to its R&D leadership team, including the resignation of its founder from the organization and his role as President and Chief R&D Officer. The company also announced that it will be shedding approximately 13% of its workforce as part of a series of corporate restructuring and realignments. Additionally, Sema4 lowered its fiscal 2022 revenue guidance to $245-$255 million from the previous guidance of $305-$315 million.

As a result of this news, Sema4’s stock fell $0.80, or 33.3%, to close at $1.60 per share on August 16, 2022, hurting investors.
