Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On December 5, 2022, Bsquare Corporation ("Bsquare" or the "Company") enacted a reduction in workforce plan (the "Plan") as part of broader efforts to align the Company's cost base with its 2023 strategic and operating priorities. The Plan is expected to reduce the Company's headcount by approximately 20%. The Company estimates the aggregate restructuring costs associated with the Plan to be approximately $0.2 million to $0.3 million, primarily consisting of severance payments, employee benefits and related costs. The Company expects to incur these charges in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023. The Company expects the reduction in force to be substantially complete by the first quarter of 2023, subject to local law and consultation requirements, which may extend the process beyond the first quarter of 2023 in certain countries.

The Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur as a result of or in connection with the implementation of the Plan.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

Item 2.05 of this Current Report on Form 8-K contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the safe-harbor provisions of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements can be identified by words such as: "expect," "continue," "believe," "plan," "strategy," "future," "may," "should," "will," and similar references to future periods. Examples of forward-looking statements include, among others, the number of positions affected by the Plan, and the estimated charges associated with, and the timeframe for completion of, the Plan, as well as assumptions relating to the foregoing. Forward-looking statements are neither historical facts nor assurances about future performance. Instead, they are based on current beliefs, expectations and assumptions about the future of our business and other future conditions. Because forward-looking statements relate to the future, they are subject to inherent uncertainties, risks, and changes in circumstances that are difficult to predict and many of which are outside of our control. Therefore, you should not rely on any of these forward-looking statements.
