Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On December 17, 2008, Navarre Corporation (the "Company") announced that BCI
Eclipse Company, its wholly-owned subsidiary, will cease its licensing
operations in connection with the implementation of a restructuring plan. This
restructuring will include a workforce reduction, a write down of assets and the
incorporation of BCI's exclusively distributed DVD business into the Company's
distribution segment. This restructuring is expected to be substantially
complete by the end of January 2009 and is a part of the company's strategy to
reduce its overall cost structure.
The Company indicated that its financial results for the fiscal 2009 third
quarter, ending December 31, 2008, will include a significant charge related to
the impairment of the carrying value of certain balance sheet assets, as well as
in connection with severance costs. At this time, the Company is unable to
determine an estimate with respect to the charges related to the costs
associated with this restructuring plan and the associated impairment of assets.
The Company will file an amendment to this report under within four business
days after it has determined such an estimate.
On December 17, 2008, the Company issued a press release regarding this
restructuring plan, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is
incorporated herein by reference.
This report contains forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to
statements relating to planned actions under restructuring initiatives; costs
expected to be recorded in connection with the initiatives; timing of the

Commission.
