Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On January 8, 2024, the Enveric Biosciences, Inc. (the "Company" or "Enveric") committed to a reduction in force (the "RIF") that is expected to result in the termination of approximately seven positions, representing approximately 50% of the Company's global workforce. The Company took this step to decrease its costs and create a more streamlined organization to support its business. In connection with the RIF, the Company currently estimates it will incur approximately $40,000 of costs, consisting primarily of cash severance costs and transition support services for impacted employees, which the Company expects to recognize in the first quarter of 2024. The Company expects to substantially complete the RIF by February 15, 2024. The estimates of costs and expenses that the Company expects to incur in connection with the workforce reduction are subject to a number of assumptions and actual results may differ materially. The Company may also incur additional costs not currently contemplated due to events that may occur as a result of, or that are associated with, the workforce reduction.

Forward-looking statements may include historical statements and statements regarding beliefs, plans, expectations, or intentions regarding the future and are based on the beliefs of management as well as assumptions made by and information currently available to management.
