and 4, background in paragraph 3)
May 18 (Reuters) - TuSimple Holdings Inc TSP.O said on
Thursday that it will restructure its U.S. operations and reduce
headcount by 30% as it looks to preserve its balance sheet.
The autonomous driving technology company also said it is no
longer seeking strategic alternatives for its Asia Pacific unit.
Its shares fell about 8% in premarket trading.
The move comes days after the firm received a delisting
notice from Nasdaq for not filing its quarterly report on time.
The restructuring is expected to cost the company between
$12 million and $13 million, it said in a statement, adding that
the layoffs will only impact its employees in the U.S.
