05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities. On June 4, 2024, Yext, Inc. (the "Company") committed to a restructuring plan in response to evolving business needs to reduce operating expenses and position the Company for profitable future growth (the "Plan"). The Plan will reduce the size of the Company's workforce by approximately 12 percent of its full-time employees as compared to its headcount as of January 31, 2024. The Company estimates that it will incur an incremental restructuring cash charge of approximately $5 million in connection with the Plan, primarily consisting of severance payments, payments in lieu of notice, employee benefits and related costs. The Company expects to incur the majority of these expenses in the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 and that the implementation of the workforce reduction will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2025. Potential position eliminations are subject to legal requirements that vary by jurisdiction, which may extend this process beyond the second quarter of fiscal year 2025 in certain cases. The charges that the Company expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions, including legal requirements in various jurisdictions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above.
