On October 9, 2024, Velo3D, Inc. (the “Company”) commenced a reduction in force plan to streamline its business operations, reduce costs and create further operating efficiencies, which is expected to affect approximately 46 employees globally, representing approximately 32% of the Company’s workforce. In connection with the reduction in force, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $1.3 to 1.5 million of costs, consisting primarily of personnel expenses such as salaries and wages, one time severance payments, and other benefits. The majority of the cash payments related to these expenses will be paid out during the fourth quarter of 2024. This reduction in force is expected to be completed in December 2024.
