Item 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On August 7, 2024, LegalZoom.com, Inc. (“LegalZoom”) issued a press release announcing its results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024. A copy of that press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. The information furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 of this report, including Exhibit 99.1, shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, unless LegalZoom specifically states that the information is to be considered “filed” under the Exchange Act or incorporates it by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act. Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 1, 2024, LegalZoom committed to a restructuring plan as part of its re-alignment of its business and cost structure. The restructuring plan will reduce the size of LegalZoom’s workforce by approximately 15% of its employees as compared to its headcount as of June 30, 2024.
LegalZoom expects to incur charges of approximately $5.0 million in connection with the restructuring plan, which consist primarily of severance and termination benefits offered to the impacted employees. LegalZoom expects substantially all of these charges to be cash expenditures. LegalZoom expects to incur the majority of these charges in the third quarter of 2024.

Also on August 7, 2024, LegalZoom updated its investor presentation and supplemental financial report, which contain financial results and related information regarding LegalZoom.
