On February 15, 2017, Papa Murphy's Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") announced a strategic realignment resulting in the elimination of eleven positions at the Company, effective as of February 15, 2017. This action is pursuant to the Company's commitment to operate with an efficient cost structure and align resources to drive franchise growth and profitability.
As a result of this action, the Company currently estimates that it will recognize pre-tax charges to its GAAP financial results in an amount of up to $1.0 million consisting of severance and other one-time termination benefits, and other associated costs. All of these charges are expected to be cash-based. The Company expects the majority of these charges will be recognized during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.

The foregoing contains forward-looking statements, which are subject to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements include the expected amount, timing and relative cash-component of the charges relating to the realignment. Statements regarding future events are based on the Company's current expectations and are necessarily subject to associated risks related to the completion of the restructuring in the manner anticipated by the Company. Although the Company believes any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the reader should be aware that many factors could affect the Company's actual financial results and cause them to differ materially from those anticipated in any forward-looking statements. Please refer to the risk factors discussed in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2015 and quarterly reports on Forms 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 28, 2016 and September 26, 2016 (each of which can be found at the SEC's website www.sec.gov); each such risk factors are specifically incorporated into this current report on form 8-K.
