Cue Health : Costs Associated with Exit/Disposal - Form 8-K

Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On May 1, 2024, Cue Health Inc. ("Cue" or the "Company") implemented a new cost reduction plan (the "CRP"). Management, with the oversight and guidance of the Company's board of directors, determined to implement the CRP following a review of the Company's business and operating expenses. The CRP is aligned with narrowing the Company's focus on its core technology offering and is intended to reduce the Company's cost structure and improve its operational efficiency beyond the expected cost savings of the cost reduction plans announced on January 5, 2023, April 28, 2023, January 5, 2024, and January 25, 2024 in the Current Reports on Form 8-K filed with Securities and Exchange Commission on January 5, 2023, April 28, 2023, January 5, 2024, and January 25, 2024, respectively.

The CRP will include a reduction in the Company's employee base by 230 employees, which constitutes a reduction of approximately 49% in the Company's global workforce.

At this time, the Company is unable to make a good faith determination of an estimate or a range of estimates as required by paragraphs (b), (c) and (d) of Item 2.05 of Form 8-K with respect to workforce reduction actions. The Company will file an amendment to this Current Report on Form 8-K after it makes such a determination.
