Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
On May 16, 2005, Chordiant Software, Inc. (the "Company") publicly announced
that it had appointed a task force to improve profitability and control expenses
(the "Profitability Task Force"). The goal of the Profitability Task Force is to
create better alignment of functions within the Company, to make full
utilization of the Company's India development center, to develop a closer
relationship between the Company's field operations and customers, to review the
sales and implementation models, as well as the organization model to flatten
management levels, to review the Company's product line, and to enhance the
Company's business model for profitability and operating leverage. As a result
of the work of the Profitability Task Force, in addition to a number of other
proposed actions, management undertook an approximate 10% reduction in the
Company's workforce, and on July 13, 2005 affected employees were notified. In
connection with this action, the Company expects to incur a one-time cash charge
of approximately $1.0 million in the fourth quarter ended September 30, 2005 for
severance benefits.
