Restructuring Restructuring
On February 9, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Company voted to implement a staged wind-down of the Company’s manufacturing activities at its facility in Middletown, Rhode Island. The Board made this determination following a strategic review of the Company’s manufacturing operations, driven by reduced demand for the Company’s hardware products in the face of intensifying competition during the third and fourth quarters of 2023. The Board concluded that the Company should discontinue its capital-intensive manufacturing activities and concentrate its efforts on growing sales of its multi-orbit, multi-channel, integrated communications solutions, which in recent years have constituted the largest portion of the Company’s overall revenues.

The Company expects that it will continue its product manufacturing activities for a period of time in order to generate a targeted amount of inventory of maritime satellite connectivity and satellite television terminals to meet anticipated demand and that it will cease substantially all manufacturing activity by the end of 2026. The Company expects to continue to facilitate customer transition to third-party hardware products compatible with the Company’s mobile satellite communications services. The Company also plans to continue to conduct maintenance, refurbishment service, warehousing, shipping and receiving activities at the Middletown, Rhode Island location until the Company's anticipated relocation by early next year.

As part of this restructuring, the Company reduced its headcount by approximately 75 employees, or approximately 20% of its total workforce as of the time the Company announced the restructuring. In 2024, the Company incurred aggregate severance charges of approximately $3.9 million, consisting of approximately $3.6 million of cash charges and approximately $0.3 million of non-cash charges arising from pre-existing contractual obligations to accelerate vesting of certain outstanding equity compensation awards. For the aggregate severance charges of approximately $3.9 million, the Company recorded in its consolidated statement of operations $0.9 million in cost of product sales, $1.4 million in research and development, $0.7 million in sales, marketing and support, and $0.8 million in general and administrative.
