CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

 

KIT digital, Inc. (the “Company”)

 

September 17, 2012

 

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

 

The Company announced today the next phase of the restructuring plan that was first announced in May 2012. This phase will align its operations and streamline general corporate functions. Upon completion of the reductions announced today, the Company’s restructuring program will have achieved a net reduction in workforce of approximately 300 employees, or approximately 22% of its total headcount. The majority of the expense reductions will arise from non-core areas and general and administrative redundancies. The associated savings from employee related expenses is anticipated to be approximately $40 million on an annualized basis.

 

The Company's actions pursuant to this restructuring plan will take place primarily during the third quarter of 2012 and will be completed by the end of calendar year 2012.  The Company currently estimates that it will record a restructuring expense in the third quarter of 2012 of approximately $4.0 million consisting primarily of one-time termination benefits of which the majority will be paid prior to the end of calendar year 2012.

 

The forward-looking statements contained herein, including those relating to our expectations regarding charges, involve risks and uncertainties. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those forward-looking statements include current economic and other conditions in the global marketplace, competition, the Company's ability to successfully implement its strategic plan and those described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011.
