Item 2.05
Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
On November 21, 2024, Quantum-Si Incorporated (the “Company”) committed to an organizational restructuring program designed to streamline and focus its overall corporate resources, as well as align required resources to focus on future product development objectives, including its recently announced ProteusTM platform. As a result, the Company is terminating approximately 23% of its 187-employee workforce. In connection with the restructuring, the Company expects that it will recognize one-time cash charges related to severance and other benefits of approximately $2.3 million in 2024 and another $0.3 million in the first six months of 2025. In addition, the Company expects to recognize non-cash expense over the remainder of 2024 in the amount of approximately $0.2 million related to stock option modifications. The severance and other benefits related charge, as well as the expense related to stock option modifications are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the restructuring. The Company expects to substantially complete the restructuring in the fourth quarter of 2024.
