Pinterest's board has approved a global restructuring plan that includes a reduction in force affecting less than 15% of its workforce and office space reductions. The company anticipates incurring pre-tax restructuring charges of approximately $35 million to $45 million, primarily cash-related, which it intends to exclude from non-GAAP financial measures.
