Item 8.01. Other Events.
OnMarch 6, 2023 ,Atlassian Corporation (the "Company") announced a rebalancing of resources resulting in the elimination of certain roles impacting about 500 full-time employees, or approximately 5% of the Company's current workforce. These actions are part of the Company's initiatives to better position it to execute against its largest growth opportunities. This includes continuing to invest in strategic areas of the business, aligning talent to best meet customer needs and business priorities, and optimizing for operational efficiency. Position eliminations in each country are subject to local law and consultation requirements. The Company estimates it will incur approximately$70 million to$75 million in charges in connection with these actions, of which approximately$27 million to$29 million is expected to result in future cash outlays related to severance, notice period, employee transition and benefits payments, and approximately$43 million to$46 million is expected to consist of non-cash charges for accelerated vesting of share-based awards and exit charges associated with office space reductions. The Company expects the majority of these charges will be incurred in the third quarter of fiscal year 2023 and the execution of these actions, including cash payments, will be substantially complete by the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2023. The charges the Company expects to incur, and the timing thereof, are subject to a number of assumptions, and actual expenses may differ materially from the estimates disclosed above. In addition, the Company may incur other charges or cash expenditures not currently contemplated due to unanticipated events that may occur, including in connection with the implementation of these actions.
An update to Atlassian's employees from Atlassian's Co-Chief Executive Officers regarding these actions is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.
