Item 2.05. Cost Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On August 9, 2024, Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a reduction in force plan to streamline its business operations, reduce costs and create further operating efficiencies, which is expected to affect approximately 63 employees globally, representing approximately 30% of the Company’s workforce. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $1.1 to 1.7 million of costs, consisting primarily of personnel expenses such as wages and other benefits. The majority of the cash payments related to these expenses will be paid out during the fourth quarter of 2024. The reduction in force is expected to be completed by the end of October 2024.

Forward Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1996 and other federal securities laws. Any statements contained herein that do not describe historical facts, including, but not limited to, statements regarding the expected costs and benefits associated with the reduction in force as well as the Company’s timeline for completing the reduction in force and recognition of associated costs, are forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those discussed in such forward-looking statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, among others, the risks identified in the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), including its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the SEC on April 3, 2024, and its subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Any of these risks and uncertainties could materially and adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition and results of operations, which could, in turn, have a significant and adverse impact on the price of the Company’s securities. The Company cautions you not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date they are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements to reflect new information, events or circumstances after the date they were made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
