Item 2.05.
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

In continuation of the previously announced measures taken by the Company to align with current market conditions and reduce operating expenses, the Company announced on January 6, 2025, its intention to implement certain organizational changes aimed at enhancing operational cost efficiency, increasing organizational flexibility, and reallocating resources to further drive performance and financial stability (the "Restructuring Plan"). A copy of the letter sent to employees of the Company announcing the Restructuring Plan is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.

The Company expects to reduce its headcount by approximately 400 employees globally, lowering overhead expenses and enhancing efficiency in other operating areas. The Company currently estimates that it will recognize pre-tax charges to its GAAP financial results of approximately $3 million to $5 million consisting of severance, other one-time termination benefits, and other costs. These charges are primarily cash-based.

Reductions in the workforce are subject to local regulatory requirements and the Company expects to recognize the majority of these charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2025 with the remaining amount expected to be recognized during the remainder of fiscal 2025. Once the reductions in the workforce are completed, the Company anticipates that they will lead to a quarterly reduction in expenses of approximately $9 million to $11 million. The run rate savings do not reflect the aggregate expected costs to implement the Restructuring Plan.
