Item 2.05Item 2.05 - Costs with Exit or Disposal
Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On February 26, 2026, the Company announced a workforce reduction restructuring plan (the “Workforce Plan”) designed to better align our organizational structure with our operating model and strategic priorities.
As part of the Workforce Plan, we expect to reduce our current workforce by more than 40%. The Company currently estimates that we will incur charges of approximately $450 million to $500 million in connection with the Workforce Plan, consisting primarily of cash expenditures for notice period and severance payments, employee benefits, and related costs as well as non-cash expenses related to vesting of share-based awards. The Company expects that the majority of the restructuring charges will be incurred in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and that the execution of the Workforce Plan will be substantially complete by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2026. The Company’s estimates are subject to a number of assumptions, and the actual costs incurred may differ materially from those initial estimates.

To Our Shareholders Q4’25 Highlights3
Today we shared a difficult decision with our team. We’re reducing Block by nearly half, from over 10,000 people to just under 6,000, which
means that over 4,000 people are being asked to leave or entering into consultation. I want to use this letter to explain why I believe this is the right path for our company, and what Block looks like going forward.
