Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On August 14, 2024, Sonos, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a reduction in force involving approximately 6% of our employees. Decisions regarding the elimination of positions are subject to local law and consultation requirements in certain countries. The Company also committed to further reducing its real estate footprint. The foregoing actions were committed to on August 14, 2024 and are intended to improve the Company’s operating model and cost structure to set the Company up for long-term success.
The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $9 to $12 million of restructuring and related charges, of which $6 to $8 million are related to employee severance and benefits costs. The Company expects to incur substantially all of the restructuring and related charges in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024.
The estimates of the charges and expenditures that the Company expects to incur in connection with the above, 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.
