HealthLynked Corp. (OTCQB: HLYK), a global healthcare network focused on care management of its members and a provider of healthcare technologies that connects doctors, patients and medical data, today announced that it has received funding under the Paycheck Protection Program (PPP).  The PPP loans, administered by the U.S. Small Business Administration and processed through Wells Fargo Bank, were issued under the recently enacted Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, also known as the CARES Act.

HealthLynked Corp. (HLYK) and its subsidiaries received a total of $585,000 in proceeds from PPP loans.  The loans bear interest at 1% per annum and mature in May 2022.  Principal and interest payments are deferred for the first six months of the loans.  Pursuant to the terms of the PPP, principal amounts may be forgiven if loan proceeds are used for qualifying expenses as described in the CARES Act, including costs such as payroll, benefits, employer payroll taxes, rent and utilities.  The company plans to use the proceeds for payroll costs and other permitted expenses.

George O’Leary, Chief Financial Officer of HealthLynked Corp., said, “We are grateful to the current administration for recognizing that small businesses are at the heart of the American economy. Our medical staffs have been hard at work caring for patients during the COVID-19 pandemic.  We have also been focused on providing information with our COVID-19 Tracker to keep people around the world safe and fully informed during this unprecedented time.” Mr. O’Leary continued, “We are also grateful to Wells Fargo Bank for their support and the proceeds of these loans will mostly go toward our medical centers who continue to serve the patients of both Collier and Lee Counties. The liquidity provided by these loans will enable us to maintain our current staffing levels and minimize business disruption. We expect our use of the funds to meet the terms of the PPP, thereby enabling the federal government to ultimately forgive these loans.”
