| Item 2.05 | Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. |
On October 31, 2023, Computer Programs and Systems, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” or “us”) committed to a reduction in force that is expected to result in the termination of approximately 2% of the Company’s workforce. The reduction in force is a component of a broader strategic review of the Company’s operations that is intended to more effectively align resources with business priorities. Substantially all of the employees impacted by the reduction in force were notified of the reduction on November 1, 2023. The reduction is being implemented in two phases, with several of the affected employees’ termination effective on November 1, 2023, and the remainder of the affected employees will exit the Company over the course of the first and second quarter of 2024.
The Company estimates that it will incur expenses of approximately $2.5 million related to the reduction in force, of which approximately $0.7 million is expected to be incurred in the fourth quarter of 2023, and $1.8 million is expected to be incurred in the first half of 2024. These expenses will consist of one-time termination benefits to the affected employees, including but not limited to severance payments and healthcare benefits. After the reduction in force is implemented, the Company expects to realize approximately $2.4 million in annual savings compared to current expense levels.
