Based upon guidance issued yesterday by the Federal Government including a presumption that no publicly traded companies are eligible for a PPP loan, the Company intends to return the PPP loan proceeds within the time period imposed under these new guidelines, subject to any additional guidance that may be issued by the Federal Government on eligibility criteria for public companies who have already been granted PPP loans.
