Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 20, 2024, Heliogen, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing the Company’s strategic decision made on May 16, 2024, to implement a targeted plan, which included a workforce reduction, the closing of the Company’s manufacturing facility in Long Beach, California, and a reduction in third-party costs. At the time of filing the Original 8-K, the Company was unable to make a good faith estimate or range of estimates of the costs and charges it would incur in connection with these actions. This Amendment to Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Original 8-K to include estimates for the major types of costs associated with the targeted plan. Except as described below, all other information in the Original 8-K remains unchanged and this Form 8-K/A should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.
The Company now estimates it will incur the following charges in connection with the targeted plan, including reorganization and other related costs:
•$3.4 million to $4.0 million of asset write-off costs, including impairment charges;
•$0.6 million to $0.8 million of employee transition, severance payments and related benefits; and
•$0.2 million to $2.0 million of costs associated with closing the manufacturing facility, including lease termination costs and other related costs.
The Company has incurred $4.2 million of these costs through June 30, 2024, which were recorded as impairment and other charges for the three months ended June 30, 2024. We expect to incur the remainder of these costs through the end of 2024. The ultimate amount and timing of total costs and charges in connection with the Company’s targeted plan may vary due to a variety of factors, including the finalization of the closure of the manufacturing facility and continued sales of property, plant and equipment located at the manufacturing facility.
Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K/A contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that are not historical in nature, including the words “anticipate,” “expect,” “suggests,” “plan,” “believe,” “intend,” “estimates,” “targets,” “projects,” “should,” “could,” “would,” “may,” “will,” “forecast” and other similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding the amount, nature and timing of the estimated charges associated with the targeted plan. Forward-looking statements are predictions, projections and other statements about future events that are based on current expectations and assumptions and, as a result, are subject to risks and uncertainties. Many factors could cause actual future events to differ materially from the forward-looking statements in this press release, including but not limited to the finalization of the closure of the manufacturing facility and continued sales of property, plant and equipment located at the manufacturing facility. You should carefully consider the foregoing factors and the other risks and uncertainties disclosed in the “Risk Factors” section in Part I, Item 1A in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, as supplemented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, and other documents filed by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These filings identify and address other important risks and uncertainties that could cause actual events and results to differ materially from those contained in the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made.
