Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On December 17, 2008, Navarre Corporation (the "Company") filed a Form 8-K (the
"Original 8-K") disclosing the cessation of budget DVD and audio licensing
operations by BCI Eclipse Company, LLC, its wholly-owned subsidiary ("BCI"), in
connection with the implementation of a restructuring plan that included, among
other things, a company-wide workforce reduction. At the time of the Original
8-K filing the Company was unable in good faith to estimate the amounts that it
expects to incur in connection with its planned workforce reduction. This
workforce reduction, which involved each department and business unit of the
Company, has now been substantially completed, which has allowed the Company to
estimate the charges that it anticipates will be incurred in connection with
those actions.
The Company currently anticipates that it will incur approximately $1.5 million
in pre-tax charges in its third fiscal quarter ended December 31, 2008, arising
primarily out of severance and other employee-related costs that will involve
cash payments.
The Company estimates that this restructuring program will generate annual cost
savings of approximately $4.2 million. Those anticipated cost savings arise
primarily out of reductions to general and administrative expenses in connection
with salaries and benefits.
The statements contained in this Form 8-K/A that are not historical facts are
"forward-looking statements" within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities
Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These
forward-looking statements include statements regarding anticipated charges,
cash expenditures and cost savings associated with the restructuring program. In
particular, all of these charges and cost savings are estimates and are subject
to change. These forward-looking statements are made subject to certain risks
and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from
those presented in these forward-looking statements. Such risks and
uncertainties include, but are not limited to, severance and other
employee-related costs that differ from original estimates and the Company's
ability to achieve the anticipated savings from the restructuring program, as
well as and other factors described in the Company's periodic filings with the
Securities and Exchange Commission.
Item 2.06 Material Impairments.
The Company is continuing to work in good faith to estimate the asset impairment
charges discussed in the Original 8-K. The Company will file an amendment to the
Original 8-K within four business days after it is able to estimate these
impairment charges.
