Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

As previously announced, on April 29, 2020, the Company committed to a plan of termination as part of the Company’s efforts to reduce operating expenses and adjust cash flows in light of the ongoing economic challenges resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on the Company’s business. At the time of the Original Report, the Company estimated that it would incur approximately $28 million to $36 million of restructuring and related charges primarily related to employee severance and benefits costs. The Company continues to expect to incur such charges within the previously estimated range. At the time of the Original Report, the Company further expected to record a stock-based compensation charge and corresponding payroll tax expense related to equity compensation for employees who were terminated and a restructuring charge related to the shutdown of certain facilities. At the time of the Original Report, the Company was unable to estimate the stock-based compensation, payroll tax and facility-related charges. On June 25, 2020, the Company made a determination of such information. As of the date of this Current Report, in the second quarter of 2020, the Company expects to record a stock-based compensation charge and payroll tax expense related to equity compensation for employees who were terminated, as well as an offsetting benefit related to the reversal of previously recognized stock-based compensation expenses for unvested stock awards, resulting in a net benefit of $48.7 million for the quarter. Additionally, the Company expects to record other restructuring charges of $1.7 million primarily related to the shutdown of certain facilities.
