Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On January 17, 2023, Clever Leaves Holdings Inc.’s (the “Company”) board of directors authorized a restructuring plan that is designed to improve operating margin and support the Company’s growth, scale and profitability objectives. As part of that restructuring plan, the Company has begun to wind-down its operations in Portugal which has historically been comprised of cultivation, post-harvesting and manufacturing activities which will result in approximately 96% reduction to the Company’s workforce in Portugal and 21% reduction to the Company’s total workforce. Potential position eliminations in Portugal are subject to local law and consultation requirements. The Company expects to complete these actions in the first half of fiscal 2023.

The Company currently estimates that it will incur charges of approximately $19 million to $21 million in connection with the restructuring plan. The total expected range includes approximately $0.7 million to $0.9 million related to severance and employee benefits, and approximately $12 million to $13 million related to real estate and equipment exit costs, consisting of lease impairment and property and equipment abandonment charges. The total expected range also includes approximately $6 million to $7 million related to the write-off of inventories that will not be sold.
The Company expects approximately $7 million in gross annualized run rate savings to be realized from these actions by 2023. These savings will partially mitigate the impact of higher labor costs and headwinds from the macroeconomic environment, as well as fund additional investments to continue to drive a more efficient cost structure long term.
The Company expects to provide its full year 2023 outlook during its fourth quarter 2022 earnings call in March 2023. The charges that the Company expects to incur are subject to a number of assumptions and actual expenses may differ from the estimates disclosed above.

Item 2.06 Material Impairments.

The information contained in Item 2.05 relating to impairment charges is hereby incorporated by reference.
