Item 2.05 Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On February 5, 2009, the management of Phoenix Technologies Ltd. (the "Company") approved and initiated a workforce restructuring plan in order to reduce expenses, eliminate overlapping functions and eliminate employees not meeting Company performance expectations. The Company expects to record a restructuring charge in the amount of approximately $750,000 in the second quarter of fiscal year 2009, all of which represents cash expenditures for severance payments. The restructuring plan will reduce the Company’s workforce by approximately 68 employees, and the Company expects to complete the plan this week.
