Wondering about the large public companies that were supposed to return PPP loans? At least 62 public companies have returned loans worth about $502 million. That likely amounts to less than 20% of such companies that borrowed through the PPP.

The Treasury Department says Paycheck Protection Program loans are not meant for “a public company with substantial market value and access to capital markets.”

FactSquared has 61 public companies giving back $425 million in loans as of Monday, but its tally doesn’t include giant car seller AutoNation Inc. AN, +9.83% , which said in late April that it was returning $77 million in PPP loans. What’s more, most of the publicly traded companies that received PPP loans rank as micro-cap stocks, according to FactSquared’s data. So they might not fit the bill when it comes to the Treasury’s targeting of borrowers with “substantial market value and access to capital markets.” A micro cap is often defined as a stock with a market value of $300 million or less.

Three hotel companies tied to Dallas businessman Monty Bennett also reversed themselves after applying for $126 million and initially saying they planned to “keep all funds received under the PPP."
