Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On October 7, 2020, the Board of Directors of Digi International Inc. (the “Company”) approved a reorganization of Digi’s IoT Products and Services business segment. The plan aligns the business segment’s organization around product lines. Under the plan, the Company expects to eliminate approximately 20 employment positions during the current fiscal quarter ending December 31, 2020. In connection with the plan, we expect to incur total restructuring charges in the range of $750,000-$850,000 relating to cash severance expenses during the quarter ending December 31, 2020.
Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 7, 2020, in connection with the plan described above, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a re-alignment of certain executive positions to drive focus on particular products within the IoT products and services segment. In connection with those changes, Michael A. Ueland, the Company’s President, IoT Products and Services, became the General Manager, Cellular, effective October 9, 2020, which is not an executive officer position.
