05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities On January 21, 2024, the Company announced adoption of a restructuring plan in response to challenging industry conditions (the "Restructuring Plan"). Under the Restructuring Plan, the Company expects to reduce its headcount by approximately 16% over the first half of 2024 through an involuntary workforce reduction plan.
