Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure.

 

 

On May 11, 2020, the Company issued a press release providing an update regarding the impact of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and related global economic conditions on the Company’s business. The Company announced certain actions that management and the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) are implementing to enhance the Company’s liquidity given the business disruptions and current global economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic, including the vast mandated self-quarantines and closures of non-essential business throughout the United States and around the world.

 

The Board has decided to suspend the Company’s first quarter cash dividend payment to preserve cash and provide additional flexibility in the current environment. Furthermore, the Board has suspended future quarterly dividends until the significant uncertainty of the current public health crisis and global economic climate has passed and the Board determines that resumption of dividend payments is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders.

 

A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
