Section 2 - Financial Information
Item 2.05    Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On March 11, 2015, we announced an organizational restructuring and cost reduction plan. As part of the plan, we expect to eliminate approximately 160 full-time positions, representing approximately 15% of our workforce, primarily in our technology and content and customer care and enrollment groups, and to a lesser extent, in our marketing and advertising and general and administrative groups. We expect to incur pre-tax restructuring charges of between approximately $3.2 million and $3.8 million for employee termination benefits and related costs as well as between $0.5 million and $0.9 million in other pre-tax restructuring charges, including facility costs. Substantially all of the restructuring charges are expected to result in cash expenditures. The majority of the restructuring charges are expected to be recorded in the first and second quarters of 2015, when the activities comprising the plan are expected to be substantially completed.

Forward-Looking Statements

This Current Report on Form 8-K contains statements that are forward-looking statements as defined within the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These include statements regarding the expected timing to complete the restructuring plan, number of employees included in the reduction of the workforce, and associated costs and cash expenditures of the restructuring plan. These forward-looking statements are inherently subject to various risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the statements made, including eHealth’s ability to accurately estimate the restructuring charges associated with and the time required to implement and complete the organizational restructuring and cost reduction program; potential changes to accounting standards and interpretations; and changes in laws and regulations. Other factors that could cause actual results to differ from these forward-looking statements are described in the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available on the investor relations page of eHealth’s website at http://www.ehealthinsurance.com and on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. eHealth does not undertake any obligation to update any forward-looking statement to conform the statement to actual results or changes in expectations.
