Other

The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitation and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company continues to examine the impacts that the CARES Act may have on its business. As a result of the CARES Act, it is anticipated that the Company will fully utilize all interest expense with no additional disallowed interest expense through June 30, 2021. While several other CARES Act provisions may impact the Company, there have not been any significant impacts noted through June 30, 2021.
