That is one POSSIBLE explanation - the best case scenario. The nature of the positions involved (CMO and EVP Research) that are now vacant also suggest that AUPH is not working on further developing their science or IP. It is also doubtful that they both suddenly got new jobs and are leaving on short notice at the same time.
Other than pure cost-cutting, or both of them getting into a spat with PG (why now?) what other explanations are there?
