Item 2.05                                        Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.
 
On March 31, 2020, DMC Global Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed a workforce reduction of 264 positions, 97 of which were temporary workers. The reduction, which eliminated approximately one third of DMC’s workforce, was taken primarily to address sharply lower activity levels in the Company’s core oil and gas end market. The workforce reduction principally impacted full-time, part-time and temporary direct-labor roles in manufacturing and assembly at DynaEnergetics, DMC’s oilfield products business. Several general and administrative positions also were eliminated at DynaEnergetics, as well as at DMC’s corporate office, and at NobelClad, DMC’s composite metals business. DMC expects to incur related cash severance costs of approximately $820,000 during the first quarter of 2020.

A copy of the Company’s press release announcing this workforce reduction is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
The information provided in this Report is being furnished and shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and shall not be deemed incorporated by reference in any filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, unless specifically stated so therein.
