Note 4. Severance and Software License Obligations

 

On November 7, 2023, the Company implemented an employee lay-off and terminated certain consulting positions (the “Reductions”) to reduce operating expenses and cash burn, as the Company prioritized business activities and projects that it believes will have a higher return on investment. As part of the Reductions, the Company implemented a temporary lay-off that impacted 16 employees (the “Employees”) of Peraso Tech. The employment of one Employee was terminated during the three months ended March 31, 2024. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company determined that it would not recall any of the 10 Employees that remained on the Company’s payroll and commenced notifying the remaining Employees that their employment would be terminated. As a result of the terminations, the Company recorded severance charges of approximately $424,000 and $446,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, and recorded a liability for severance costs of $419,000 at June 30, 2024. The severance costs are expected to be paid over the next 13 months.

 

As a result of the decision to not recall the Employees, the Company determined that it was probable that a number of its non-cancelable licenses for computer-aided design software would not be utilized during the remaining license terms. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company expensed the value of the remaining contractual liabilities and certain prepaid amounts totaling approximately $1,617,000 and recorded liabilities totaling approximately $1,533,000, which are expected to be paid through September 30, 2025. As of June 30, 2024, the current portion of the remaining contractual liabilities of $257,000 and $1,015,000 are included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other, respectively (see Note 3), and the non-current portion of $261,000 is included in other long-term liabilities.
