Item 2.05.

Costs Associated With Exit or Disposal Activities

SeaChange International, Inc. (“SeaChange”) has implemented cost-saving actions with respect to its Timeline Labs operations (“TLL”). While SeaChange continues to use the TLL software and service TLL’s clients, SeaChange has implemented a reduction in force at TLL and authorized a restructuring of TLL (including a possible winding-down of operations). These actions are anticipated to result in annualized cost savings of approximately $6 million after the actions are complete. SeaChange notified impacted employees on February 11 and 12, 2016.

SeaChange anticipates that these actions will result in restructuring and severance charges of approximately $1 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 and a non-cash charge in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2016 of approximately $6.2 million with respect to an impairment of intangibles associated with TLL. These expenses will not be included in SeaChange’s non-GAAP operating results.

SeaChange is currently evaluating the impact of these actions and related circumstances to determine whether there will be any impairment of its goodwill. SeaChange will disclose the results of its findings in its Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Any statements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K that do not describe historical facts, including without limitation statements regarding anticipated expenses (cash and non-cash) and cost savings, a restructuring of TLL, the manner of reporting of these expenses, and the evaluation of a goodwill impairment, including the timing of the disclosure thereof, are neither promises nor guarantees and may constitute forward-looking statements as that term is defined in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Any such forward-looking statements contained herein are based on current assumptions and expectations, but are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties that may cause actual results to differ materially from expectations. Information on factors that could cause actual results to differ from those anticipated is detailed in various publicly available documents made by the Company from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including but not limited to, those appearing under the caption “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed on April 7, 2015. Any forward-looking statements should be considered in light of those factors. The Company cautions readers not to place undue reliance on any such forward-looking statements, which speak as of the date they are made. The Company disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any such statements to reflect any change in Company expectations or events, conditions or circumstances on which any such statements may be based, or that may affect the likelihood that actual results may differ from those set forth in the forward-looking statements.
