WASHINGTON, D.C. – The latest Securities and Exchange Commission filings show 53 additional publicly traded companies secured over $32 million in SBA Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) funds meant for struggling small businesses on main street, including two based in foreign countries and at least two businesses with more than 500 employees.

Thursday marked more than 500 publicly-traded companies that The Trump administration has granted PPP funds, totaling over $1.6 billion in taxpayer assistance.

A deeper dive reveals Canada-based data management company Sphere 3D Corp secured a $667,400 PPP loan after most recently paying its executives $2,424,576. Ireland-based pharmaceutical company Iterum Therapeutics plc took home a $700,000 PPP loan as its executives enjoyed a $2,840,232 compensation package last year.

“More than 100,000 small businesses have shuttered during this crisis, leaving workers across the country worried about how they will pay rent and put food on the table,” said Jeremy Funk, spokesman for Accountable.US. “These mom-and-pop small businesses never received the help they were promised by the President. As long as the administration prioritizes help for big publicly traded companies that have access to resources most small business owners could never dream of — including resources abroad — small businesses and their employees will continue to pay the price for the Trump administration’s incompetence.”

These filings were compiled as part of an ongoing tracking project by government watchdog Accountable.US. TrumpBailouts.org documents the billion-dollar corporations and other large companies that have received taxpayer assistance under the CARES Act, and what advantages and assets they had going into the CODID-19 crisis that most small businesses could never access.
