MiMedx Provides Update on Payment Protection Program Loan
Company Is Repaying Loan in Full
MARIETTA, Ga., May 08, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- MiMedx Group, Inc. (OTC PINK: MDXG) (“MiMedx” or “the Company”), an industry leader in advanced wound care and an emerging therapeutic biologics company, today announced that it is repaying the Payment Protection Program (PPP) Loan received through its application to the Federal relief effort. As announced previously, the funds enabled the Company to maintain full employment during a time of widespread uncertainty, producing skin-graft products for patients with serious wounds and burns.
Similar to other companies, including those operating in the health care sector, the Company’s business has been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. As previously announced, the Company has experienced softened sales due to restricted access, both for patients and our field personnel, and the cancellation of elective surgeries. The Company implemented numerous cost containment measures, including a temporary gradated reduction in compensation for all salaried employees in order to avoid layoffs.
While registered as a public company, MiMedx is currently delisted from NASDAQ and does not have access to the public markets.
