Hi, Ms. Soltau, I work for the South Florida Media Network and am covering a story on stores that are either going bankrupt or shutting down due to the Coronavirus. J.C. Penney is one of the stores that I am doing the story on and needed a comment and to ask some questions. What were your expectations in going into this company? How long do you think you will last until complete force closing? What do you think will be done now about the company? How will you deal with employees who will be out of jobs, is there an alternative? Thank you and I hope to hear back from you
