According to the Team Rubicon audit of December 31, 2019 (Note 12, Subsequent Event):

"Subsequent to the year-end, an outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (COVID-19) surfaced in the United States and throughout the world, causing significant business disruption which may negatively impact Team Rubicon's program services delivery and investment portfolio holdings. While the disruption is currently expected to be temporary, there is considerable uncertainty around the duration. It is therefore likely there will be an impact on Team Rubicon's operating activities and results. However, the related financial impact and duration cannot be reasonably estimated at this time."
