Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 8, 2024, as a result of the Company's financial condition, the Company's Board of Directors approved a reduction in force affecting approximately 10% of the workforce. The Company expects the reduction in force to be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal 2024. Cash expenditures for the reduction in force are estimated to be $0.6 million, substantially all of which are related to employee severance and benefits costs. Affected employees were informed of the reduction in force on or about May 10, 2024.

Item 2.05 of this report ("Item 2.05") contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are identified by words such as "expects," "estimates," or "estimated," "expected," and other similar words, expressions, and formulations. Item 2.05 contains forward-looking statements regarding the timing and scope of the reduction in force and the amount and timing of the related charges. Many factors could affect the actual results of the reduction in force, and variances from the Company's current expectations regarding such factors could cause actual results of the reduction in force to differ materially from those expressed in these forward-looking statements. The Company presently considers the following to be a non-exclusive list of important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from its expectations: estimates of employee headcount reductions; cash expenditures that may be made by the Company in connection with the reduction in force; and the number of outstanding unvested equity awards that will be canceled as a result of the reduction in force. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is included in the documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Report, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
