Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On August 29, 2022, Grove Collaborative Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") announced a company-wide reorganization, which included a workforce reduction of approximately 18% of the Company's corporate workforce, consisting of approximately 55 employees. The reorganization is part of the Company's previously announced efforts to reduce operating expenses and reallocate resources to initiatives that better align with the Company's goal of achieving profitability.

As a result of this workforce reduction, the Company expects to incur a pre-tax cash charge for one-time termination benefits, which consist of severance and related costs, of between approximately $1.1 million and $1.3 million in the third quarter of 2022.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of federal securities laws, including the estimated range of the charge, the related cash outlay resulting from the workforce reduction, and when such charge and related cash outlay will occur. The Company believes its expectations related to these forward-looking statements are reasonable, but actual results may turn out to be materially different. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements include the Company's inability to successfully implement the workforce reduction and a change in the number of employees being terminated as part of the workforce reduction. A detailed discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company's actual results to differ materially from these forward-looking statements is included in the documents that the Company files with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K. These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and the Company does not undertake any obligation to revise or update such statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
