February 2024 Workforce Reduction

 

On February 7, 2024, Ting committed to the February 2024 workforce reduction ( "February 2024 Workforce Reduction") which aimed to realign the Company's operational structure within the Ting operating segment and reduce Ting's workforce by 13%, or 7% of the Company’s total workforce, to better align with strategic objectives. The February 2024 Workforce Reduction was designed to streamline operations and reduce operating expenses within the Ting operating segment. Substantially all of the employees impacted by the workforce reduction were notified on February 7, 2024 and have since exited the Company. 

 

During the year ended December 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, the Company incurred NIL and $3.2 million, respectively, in costs related to the February 2024 Workforce Reduction, which were accounted for under ASC 420 - Exit or Disposal Cost Obligations. These costs associated with the February 2024 Workforce Reduction predominantly consisted of termination benefits for the terminated employees associated with the restructuring, and to a lesser extent, continuation of benefits and outplacement costs.

 

2024 Capital Efficiency Plan

 

On October 30, 2024, the Company expanded its cost-reduction efforts with the implementation of a 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan (the "2024 Capital Efficiency Plan"). The Plan was designed to further align operations with strategic priorities, improve operational efficiency, and reduce operating expenses within Ting. 

 

In connection with the 2024 Capital Efficiency Plan, the Company incurred restructuring charges of NIL and $7.7 million during the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. These charges primarily consisted of termination benefits for the terminated employees associated with the restructuring, continuation of benefits, outplacement costs and professional services.
