Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously disclosed, Trimble Inc. (the “Company”) intends to hold its 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2024 Annual Meeting”) at 10:00 a.m. Mountain time on Monday, September 30, 2024 and solely by means of remote communication.
As of today, the previously disclosed assessment of the impacts related to the Company’s internal controls over financial reporting by management and Ernst & Young LLP (“EY”), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, is progressing, and all parties continue to work diligently to finish the assessment as soon as practicable. EY has been performing and continues to perform incremental audit procedures responsive to the identified material weaknesses.
Based on the work to date, management has not identified any errors that would result in a restatement to the consolidated financial statements for the periods presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Form 10-K”), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 26, 2024 and provided to the Company’s stockholders concurrently with the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on April 16, 2024, or for any previously released financial results. Furthermore, EY has not withdrawn its audit report on the financial statements included in the Form 10-K.
As a result, the Company will proceed with reconvening the 2024 Annual Meeting as scheduled at 10:00 a.m. Mountain time on Monday, September 30, 2024. The Company plans to file its amended Form 10-K with the SEC as soon as practicable once EY’s work is complete following the 2024 Annual Meeting.
The amended Form 10-K is expected to include certain updated disclosures in Part II, Item 9A, “Controls and Procedures” relating to (i) the design and execution of certain information technology (“IT”) general controls, IT applications, and other controls that support the Company’s financial reporting processes, including revenue-related systems and processes, and (ii) the design and execution of monitoring controls related to standard pricing and discounting.
Management, with the oversight of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company, has been taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses and implementing additional processes and controls to address the underlying causes. The Company is committed to continuing to improve its internal control processes and will continue to review, optimize, and enhance its financial reporting controls and procedures.
