Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
In October 2025, Silvaco Group, Inc. (the “Company”) began implementing targeted cost-savings initiatives intended to streamline the Company’s organizational structure, improve execution, and enhance stockholder value (the “Restructuring”). In connection with the Restructuring, on November 24, 2025, the Company announced an initial involuntary reduction in force in the United States.
When taken together with other Restructuring activities underway, including a voluntary early retirement program, a voluntary exit program, further involuntary reductions in force, and certain planned site closures, the Company currently estimates that it will recognize pre-tax charges to its GAAP financial results ranging from $2 million to $5 million consisting of severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other costs such as the site closures as part of its global site strategy.
The Company expects the majority of the impacted employees to be terminated by December 31, 2025, and to substantially complete the Restructuring in fiscal year 2026.
This Item 2.05 disclosure contains forward-looking statements regarding the scope and timing of the Restructuring and the estimated charges expected to be incurred. Forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that may cause actual results to differ materially from those described herein. These risks and uncertainties include, among other things, the Company’s ability to implement the Restructuring in various jurisdictions; changes in the expected size, timing, or components of the Restructuring; the final amount and timing of the related costs and charges; and the Company’s ability to realize the anticipated benefits of the Restructuring. Additional risks are described in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the “Risk Factors” sections of its most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The information contained in this Item 2.05 is provided as of November 26, 2025, and the Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statements except as required by law..
