Explanatory Note

 

On January 21, 2025, Zedge, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on 8-K (the “Original 8-K”) under Item 2.05 to, among other things, report a restructuring initiative. Pursuant to Item 2.05(d) of Form 8-K, the Company is now filing this Amendment No. 1 to refine its disclosure related to the scope of the restructuring efforts and the amount of its estimated savings related to the restructuring. The disclosure included in Item 2.05 of the Original 8-K otherwise remains unchanged. The Original Report is hereby amended to provide the information set forth herein, which was unable to be determined at the time of the Original Report. 

 

Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

 

On February 5, 2025, the Company announced additional restructuring initiatives, notably the closure of its Norwegian operations. This closure, along with the consolidation of certain of the related activities in the Company’s current operations in Lithuania and Israel, is projected to result in approximately $0.9 million in annualized compensation-related savings.

 

The previously announced restructuring actions, which include a significant reorganization of the GuruShots team, are expected to yield approximately $1.7 million in annualized compensation-related savings. In conjunction with this efforts, the Company is also targeting reductions in non-employee expenses related to its restructuring efforts. This includes scaling back paid player acquisition initiatives at GuruShots for the remainder of fiscal 2025, with a goal of reducing non-employee expenses by approximately $0.1 to $0.3 million. Additionally, the Company anticipates an additional reduction in annualized expenses for GuruShots (and Zedge) of approximately $1.2 million, beginning in fiscal Q4, upon the completion of employee retention bonuses related to the 2022 acquisition of GuruShots, which are scheduled to conclude in April 2025.

 

Overall, the estimated total savings from the global restructuring and other cost reduction initiatives are expected to range from $3.9 million to $4.1 million annually. Cumulatively, these efforts will include a 22% workforce reduction, which is projected to yield about $2.6 million in pre-tax annualized compensation-related savings, as well as the targeted non-employee cost reductions.

 

The Company expects that accounting charges related to its restructuring efforts will primarily be reflected in the results for the second and third fiscal quarters, covering periods ending January 31 and April 30, 2025, respectively.

 

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on February 5, 2025, announcing the estimated savings from the global restructuring plan and other cost reductions, is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

On February 5, 2025, the Company issued a press release announcing the estimated savings from the global restructuring plan and other cost reductions. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

 

The Company is furnishing the information contained in this Report, including Exhibit 99.1, pursuant to Item 7.01 of Form 8-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
