Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On May 1, 2020, Dr. Huaizheng Peng notified the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company that he resigned from the Board, effective May 1, 2020. Dr. Peng’s did not resign from the Board due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on April 13, 2020, the Company was granted a $323,000 loan under the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP Loan”) established under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act (“CARES Act”). The Company planned to use the proceeds from the PPP Loan for covered payroll costs, rent and utilities in accordance with the relevant terms and conditions of the CARES Act. However, based upon subsequent guidance issued 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 out of an abundance of caution, 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.
