Longterm Peregrine investors might notice the strange abnormality of there being "no current job openings". There seems to be a freeze on hiring where normally, month after month, there are plenty of positions to fill. Avid also lists zero job openings. Certainly there's lots of development still slated for Avid with large backlogs and active Expansion.
I don't think an exosome deal would shut down hiring. Looks like something more all-encompassing!
