Item2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On April 10, 2015, Interphase Corporation (the “Company”) committed to a plan intended to result in savings of approximately $750,000 to $1.5 million in annualized operating costs. These actions aim to mitigate gross margin erosion by reducing manufacturing costs, streamline research and development and sales and marketing expenses to focus remaining resources on key strategic growth areas, and reduce administrative expenses through consolidation of support functions.
As part of this plan, the Company expects to reduce the number of its employees by approximately 15% to 25%. The Company expects to incur charges for one-time termination benefits in the range of $50,000 to $150,000, most of which will be cash expenditures. The Company expects to substantially complete the actions associated with the plan during the second quarter of 2015.
