Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On July 11, 2023, Butterfly Network, Inc. (the “Company”) announced a plan approved by the Company’s Board of Directors that is designed to better align the Company’s commercial objectives and prioritization with its existing strengths and offerings. In addition to this strategic realignment, the plan includes a 25% reduction in the Company’s work force and other savings, which will reduce the Company’s cash use by an average of approximately $2 million per month and allow the Company to extend its cash resources. The Company estimates that it will incur around $5 million in cash charges related to employee severance and benefits costs, substantially all of which the Company expects to incur in the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The Company intends to elaborate further on this plan on its Second Quarter Earnings call to be held on August 3, 2023.
