On January 7, 2009, Salary.com, Inc. (the “Company”) implemented and completed a workforce reduction of approximately 100 employees, representing approximately sixteen percent (16%) of the Company’s workforce. The Company implemented this workforce reduction in response to the current and anticipated macro-economic uncertainties.
As a result of the reduction in workforce, the Company expects to record a charge of approximately $2.5 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 under FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (SFAS No. 146). This charge will include cash payments related to the severance and continuation of benefits for terminated employees of approximately $1.0 million and non-cash stock based compensation charges related to the acceleration of vesting on stock options and restricted stock of approximately $1.5 million. Other than these severance amounts, the Company does not expect to incur future cash expenditures in connection with the workforce reduction. The Company expects the reduction in workforce to yield approximately $10 million in pre-tax annual cost savings. The Company expects to update its financial expectations for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2009 on the Company’s next quarterly earnings call.
