Item 2.02.    Results of Operations and Financial Condition
 
On January 25, 2017, Cimpress N.V. issued a press release announcing its financial results for the second quarter ended December 31, 2016 and posted on its web site (ir.cimpress.com) a presentation with a script discussing its first quarter financial results. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report, and the presentation with the script is furnished as Exhibit 99.2.

The information in this Item 2.02 and the exhibits to this report are not "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor are they incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

 
Item 2.05.    Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities
 
On January 23, 2017, the Supervisory Board of Cimpress N.V. approved a plan to restructure the company and implement organizational changes that will deeply decentralize the company’s operations in order to improve accountability for customer satisfaction and capital returns, simplify decision-making, improve the speed of execution, further develop the company’s cadre of general managers, and preserve and release entrepreneurial energy.

Cimpress intends to transfer approximately 3,000 team members that are currently part of central teams into its business units. It also intends to reduce the scope of certain other roles and functions that are currently performed centrally, which would lead to the elimination of approximately 160 positions, or approximately 1.6 percent of its current workforce, and reduce planned hiring in targeted areas. As part of the changes, the company announced that it intends to eliminate the positions of four Cimpress executive officers who, as a result, will leave the company.

Cimpress expects to complete the majority of the changes during the third quarter of fiscal year 2017. Certain of the planned actions are subject to mandatory consultations with employees, works councils and governmental authorities. Cimpress estimates it will incur an aggregate pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $28 million to $31 million, which includes $22 million to $25 million of severance-related expense and approximately $6 million of other restructuring charges. Of the total estimated restructuring charge, Cimpress expects approximately $19 million to $21 million of cash expenditures, of which the majority is expected to be paid by the end of fiscal year 2017, and approximately $9 million to $10 million of non-cash expenditures, consisting primarily of accelerated share-based compensation expense. The actual timing and costs of the plan may differ from our current expectations and estimates.


Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On January 23, 2017, in connection with the organizational changes described above, Cimpress' Supervisory Board approved the elimination of Donald Nelson's position as Executive Vice President and President, Mass Customization Platform effective January 23, 2017, and Mr. Nelson is expected to leave the company on or about February 28, 2017.

In addition, due to the decentralization of teams and reduction of activities performed centrally, we expect three other Cimpress executive officers to depart the company:

Our manufacturing plants will be decentralized to the business units for which they most often fulfill orders. As a result, we expect to eliminate the executive oversight position currently held by Wilhelm Jacobs, Chief Supply Chain Officer, subject to compliance with local labor laws and related works council consultation.

Significant portions of our corporate functions will be decentralized and in some cases reduced thereby necessitating less executive oversight. As a result, we expect Ashley Hubka, chief strategy officer, and Lawrence Gold, chief legal officer, will also leave the company.







Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure
 
On January 25, 2017, Cimpress N.V. issued a press release about the restructuring and organizational changes described above. The full text of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.3 to this report.
