ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). Our disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and include controls and procedures designed to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in such reports is accumulated and communicated to our senior leadership team, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
Our senior leadership team, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this annual report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of January 28, 2023 as a result of the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting described below that was identified in connection with the matter that caused the Restatement (defined below).
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting
Our senior leadership team is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f). Our senior leadership team conducted an assessment of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 28, 2023 based on the framework established by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013). Based on the assessment, our senior leadership team concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of January 28, 2023 due to the existence of a material weakness.
A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. As previously disclosed in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q/A for the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2022, July 30, 2022, and October 29, 2022, we identified the following material weakness:
We did not design and maintain an effective control activity over the presentation and disclosure of net income per share, specifically the application of authoritative guidance, including new accounting standards, to the net income per share computations.
This material weakness resulted in errors in the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for the fiscal periods ended April 30, 2022, July 30, 2022 and October 29, 2022 that were restated on Form 10-Q/A (the “Restatement”). Additionally, this material weakness could result in misstatements of the related accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement to the annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of January 28, 2023 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which is included herein.
Plan for Remediation of Material Weakness in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our senior leadership team is committed to remediating the material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting in a timely manner and with oversight from the Audit Committee. We have, among other actions, implemented a remediation plan to address the root cause of the material weakness in order to fully remediate the material weakness. In conjunction with this remediation plan, during our fiscal quarter ended January 28, 2023, we designed and implemented an enhanced control activity related to the presentation and disclosure of net income per share, including the application of authoritative guidance and new accounting standards, to the net income per share computations.

PART II — FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Table of Contents
While we believe the above remediation plan will address and remediate the material weakness, and we have enhanced our controls related to the net income per share computations, the material weakness will not be considered remediated until there has been appropriate time for us to conclude through testing that the controls are designed and operating effectively. Such remediation is anticipated to be completed in the first half of fiscal 2023.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting, other than an enhanced control activity to address the material weakness identified above, that occurred during our fiscal quarter ended January 28, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
On March 24, 2023, we implemented a restructuring that includes workforce and expense reductions in order to improve and simplify our organizational structure, streamline certain aspects of our business operations and better position us for further growth. As a result of the workforce reduction associated with the initiative, which affected approximately 440 roles, we expect to incur certain charges. The reorganization and accompanying workforce reduction includes the elimination of numerous leadership and other positions throughout the organization.
We are currently unable to make a good faith determination of an estimate of the total amount or range of future amounts for each major type of cost expected to be incurred in connection with the reorganization, an estimate of the total amount or range of future amounts expected to be incurred in connection with the reorganization, or an estimate of the total amount or range of future amounts of the charges that will result in future cash expenditures. We will provide additional information in a subsequent filing after we determine the costs and charges associated with this business reorganization.
