<br>
I hope you are all doing as well as possible these days.<br>
<br>
I just wanted to check in as we haven't heard anything back about the status of Evergreen's tax exempt status (and I don't see EP Corp listed on the IRS site). Do you have any updates? I believe we're coming up on the deadline for a grant report under the agreement,
do you know when we might expect that?<br>
