Item
8.01. Other Events.
On June 3, 2020, Funko, Inc. ("Funko,” or the “Company”), announced that in connection with its efforts to reduce costs and preserve liquidity in response to the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic, it expects to reduce its global workforce by approximately 25%. The Company anticipates that a majority of the workforce reduction will occur by the end of the second quarter of 2020 and the remainder by the end of the third quarter of 2020.
Additionally, as a result of these actions, Funko expects to incur approximately $1 million of charges related to certain termination benefits. The Company intends to exclude the charges related
to the workforce reduction from its non-GAAP financial metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted Net Income (Loss) and Adjusted Earnings (Loss) per Diluted Share.
