Subject:                                   Diamond Club: Loan Forgiveness


Brad, Matt, Zach,

As you may have heard from counsel for the Camelot I plaintiffs, SBA has decided that it will process the loan‐
forgiveness requests of plaintiffs in Diamond Club and other similar cases that obtained first‐draw PPP loans under
preliminary injunctions issued by the courts without regard to their ineligibility under 13 C.F.R. § 120.110(p). Their
requests will otherwise be processed under the same terms, conditions, and processes as other loan‐forgiveness
applicants, which may result in approval or denial, in whole or in part, of their requests.

To facilitate implementation of this decision, my client has asked if you could provide a list including the names, EINs,
and first‐draw PPP loan number of each Diamond Club plaintiff.

Thanks.

JG
