Organic Lays Off 300

Internet advertising and media company Organic Inc., San Francisco, is eliminating 300 jobs, or 35% of its workforce.

The company’s stock price has fallen 97% in the past year. The company also said the Nasdaq stock market has begun a review of Organic’s listing eligibility.

Organic plans to take a $17 million to $20 million first-quarter charge related to the cuts, the company said in a statement. The reductions are expected to save the company $50 million a year.
