Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On June 14, 2023, Sonos, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a reduction in force involving approximately 7% 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 and re-evaluating certain program spend. The foregoing actions were committed to on June 13, 2023 and reflect the Company’s commitment to rightsize its cost base while still investing in its product roadmap to drive future growth.
The Company estimates that it will incur approximately $11 to $14 million of restructuring and related charges, of which $9 to $11 million is related to employee severance and benefits costs. The Company expects to incur substantially all of the restructuring and related charges in the third quarter of fiscal 2023.
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.
