Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities
On June 23, 2025, DHI Group, Inc. (the “Company”) announced an organizational restructuring intended to reduce the operating costs of its Dice brand. This includes a reduction of the Company’s current workforce by approximately 25% primarily by reducing headcount within the Company's Dice brand and associated back-office support. The restructuring is expected to generate annual cost savings of approximately $14.0 million to $16.0 million. The savings will begin to be realized immediately subsequent to the restructuring.
The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $4.2 million in cash charges related to employee severance and benefits. Substantially all charges are expected to be recognized in the second quarter of 2025 while the related cash payments are expected to be substantially completed by the fourth quarter of 2025.
The actions associated with the organizational restructuring are expected to be substantially complete by July 2025, subject to local law and consultation requirements.
The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur, as well as the estimated cost savings and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, including local law requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual amounts may differ materially from estimates.
In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur in connection with the restructuring.
