NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

Formation and Organization

PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (“PCT” or “Company”) is a Florida-based corporation focused on commercializing a patented purification recycling technology (the “Technology”), originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), for restoring waste polypropylene into resin, called ultra-pure recycled (“UPR”) resin, which has nearly identical properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. PCT has a global license for the Technology from P&G. PCT’s goal is to create an important new segment of the global polypropylene market that will assist multinational entities in meeting their sustainability goals, providing consumers with polypropylene-based products that are sustainable, and reducing overall polypropylene waste in the world’s landfills and oceans.

Business Combination

On March 17, 2021, PureCycle consummated the previously announced business combination (“Business Combination”) by and among Roth CH Acquisition I Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCH”), Roth CH Acquisition I Co. Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of ROCH (“ParentCo”), Roth CH Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly owned direct subsidiary of Parent Co, Roth CH Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo and PureCycle Technologies LLC (“PCT LLC” or “Legacy PCT”) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 16, 2020, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”).

Upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”, and such completion, the “Closing”), ROCH changed its name to PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo, PCT LLC became a wholly owned direct subsidiary of PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of ParentCo, and ParentCo changed its name to PureCycle Technologies, Inc. The Company’s common stock, units and warrants are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “PCT,” “PCTTU” and “PCTTW,” respectively.

Legacy PCT unitholders were to be issued up to 4.0 million additional shares of the Company’s common stock if certain conditions are met (“the Earnout”). The Legacy PCT unitholders were entitled to 2.0 million shares if, after 1 year after the Closing and prior to or as of the third anniversary of the Closing, the closing price of the common stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period. The Company failed to achieve this milestone by March 17, 2024, and those shares have been forfeited and can no longer be earned by the Legacy PCT unitholders.

The Legacy PCT unitholders will be entitled to 2.0 million shares upon the Ironton Facility becoming operational, as certified by Leidos Engineering, LLC (“Leidos”), an independent engineering firm, in accordance with criteria established in agreements in connection with construction of the plant.

Unless the context otherwise requires, “Registrant,” “PureCycle,” “Company,” “PCT,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to PureCycle Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries at and after the Closing and give effect to the Closing. “Legacy PCT,” “ROCH” and “ParentCo” refer to PureCycle Technologies LLC, ROCH and ParentCo, respectively, prior to the Closing.

Liquidity and Going Concern

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that PCT will continue as a going concern; however, the conditions described below raise substantial doubt about PCT’s ability to do so, which management believes has been alleviated through its plans to mitigate these conditions and obtain additional unrestricted liquidity.

The Company has sustained recurring losses and negative cash flows from operations since its inception. As

reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, the Company has begun limited commercial

operations but does not have any significant sources of revenue. The following is a summary of the components of our current liquidity (in thousands):


	As of
	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Cash and cash equivalents	$	25,021		$	73,411
Debt securities available for sale		2,187			48,226

Restricted Cash (current and non-current)	$	14,919		$	229,103

Working capital	$	7,601		$	107,035
Accumulated deficit	$	(429,847	)	$	(344,240	)

	For the three months ended
	March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023
Net loss	$	(85,607	)	$	(25,842	)

As of March 31, 2024, PCT had $25.0 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Debt Securities Available for Sale of $2.2 million, and Restricted Cash of $14.9 million. PCT also has a $200.0 million revolving credit facility with Sylebra Capital (the “Revolving Credit Facility”) that is currently unused and expires on September 30, 2025.

PCT sold an immaterial amount of UPR resin in 2023 and through March 31, 2024. Due to intermittent mechanical challenges during the commissioning process, the Ironton Facility has not yet reached the point of producing meaningful volumes and on-spec product. While these mechanical issues are not uncommon for a first-of-its kind manufacturing facility, the downtime needed to correct these issues is a significant contributing factor to the delay of the Ironton Facility reaching the point of producing meaningful volumes and on-spec product. We expect the Ironton Facility to be fully operational later in 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, PCT anticipates that up to $12.5 million will be needed to complete the investment in the Ironton Facility, which relates to a performance guarantee payment due after successful completion of a performance testing milestone. PCT also has other capital commitments of approximately $47.1 million related to long-lead equipment and pre-construction work for the Augusta Facility, and $17.0 million for equipment and leases related to future Feed PreP and purification facilities, both in the U.S. and internationally. Moreover, there are interest payments of at least $18.5 million, as well as other ongoing monthly costs associated with managing the Company and possible draws on the Revolving Credit Facility.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

consolidated financial statements are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

PCT believes that its current level of unrestricted liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations, fund outstanding commitments, and further its future growth plans. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt regarding PCT’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In an effort to alleviate these conditions, PCT is currently performing certain operational enhancements that are expected to correct the production issues with the Ironton Facility. Further, on March 5, 2024, the Purchaser (as defined below) purchased 99% of the outstanding Bonds (as defined below), which used $50.8 million, net, of unrestricted cash, and reduced Restricted Cash by $207.1 million. The purchased Bonds are held in an account with PCT LLC. PCT intends to, and has the ability to, re-market some or all of these Bonds based on the need for additional liquidity. The re-marketing process may require the addition of certain covenants to enhance the marketability of the purchased Bonds. The ability to re-market the purchased Bonds with any such additional new covenants would require a further amendment to, or waiver of, provisions included within the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below). After considering management’s plans to mitigate these conditions, including adjustment of expenditure timing and execution of the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, PCT believes this substantial doubt has been alleviated and it has sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

PCT’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the funding mechanism and construction schedule of the Augusta Facility and other anticipated facilities outside the United States, build-out of multiple Feed PreP facilities, funding needs to support other business opportunities, funding for general corporate purposes, and other challenges or unforeseen circumstances. As a low-revenue operating company, PCT continually reviews its cash outlays, pace of hiring, professional services and other spend, and capital commitments to proactively manage those needs in tandem with its Cash balance. For future growth and investment, PCT expects to seek additional debt or equity financing from outside sources, which it may not be able to raise on terms favorable to PCT, or at all. If PCT is unable to raise additional debt or sell additional equity when desired, or if PCT is unable to manage its cash outflows, PCT’s business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on PCT and/or its stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting PCT’s operating flexibility. If PCT consummates an equity financing to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of its existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of PCT’s common stock.

NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements include the accounts of the Company. The condensed consolidated interim financial statements are presented in U.S. Dollars. Certain information in footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements was condensed or omitted for the interim periods presented in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2024. The accompanying condensed consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Company's 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023; as filed with the SEC on March 6, 2024. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full year.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023. Specifically, the Company reclassified certain expenses between Operating costs, Research and development, and Selling, general, and administrative to more accurately reflect the activities of the business. Total operating costs and expenses did not change for prior years.

Restricted Cash

Cash pledged as collateral for future capital purchases and leased properties is deemed restricted and included within restricted cash. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent or released from restriction within twelve months is classified as current on the consolidated balance sheet. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent or released from restriction after twelve months is classified as noncurrent on the consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this Update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

In November 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2023-07, Segment Reporting, which expands annual and interim disclosure requirements for reportable segments, primarily through enhanced disclosures about significant segment expenses. The updated standard is effective for our annual periods beginning in fiscal year 2025 and interim periods beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2026. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on our financial statement disclosures.

(PureCycle Project), Taxable Series 2020C (“Series 2020C Bonds” and, together with the Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds, the “Bonds” or "Revenue Bonds").

On February 10, 2024, PCO announced that it had agreed in principle with the Holders (as defined in the Indenture) of a majority in the aggregate principal amount of the Series 2020A Bonds outstanding (the "Majority Holders") that PCO or an affiliate of PCO would purchase (“Purchase”) from Holders for cash, upon the terms and subject to the conditions to be set forth in a definitive purchase agreement, by and among PCO and any Holder of Bonds that elects to be a party to the purchase agreement (each, a “Seller” and collectively, “Sellers”), any and all Bonds held by Sellers at a purchase price equal to $1,050 per $1,000 principal amount of the Bonds purchased, which amount is calculated in part to compensate the Sellers for default interest accruing from January 2, 2023 through December 31, 2023, as well as other accrued and unpaid interest from the last interest payment to, but not including, the Closing Date (as defined below) of the Purchase as consideration for consent to the Third Supplemental Indenture, by and among SOPA, PCO, the Guarantor, PCTO Holdco LLC and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”), which sets forth certain proposed amendments to the Bond Documents (“Proposed Amendments”) that will eliminate a substantial portion of the covenants, Events of Default (as defined below), and other material terms and protections for the benefit of the Holders contained in the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, the Guaranty (as defined below) and other transaction documents that are permitted by the terms of the Indenture and/or the Loan Agreement to be eliminated with the consent of Majority Holders. The Purchase will occur only if Sellers include at least the Majority Holders and if Sellers consent to the Proposed Amendments. The purchase price shall not include any default or penalty interest accruing from January 1, 2024 that may otherwise be owed to Sellers, and each Seller will waive its respective right to such default or penalty interest as additional compensation for the Purchase.

The Third Supplemental Indenture amended and supplemented the Indenture and certain of the other Financing Documents (as defined by the Indenture) by, among other things and without limitation, eliminating substantially all covenants and events of default contained in the Indenture ("Events of Default"), the Loan Agreement and certain of such other Financing Documents including, but not limited, to the following changes:

•

elimination of the Milestones and Revised Milestones;

•

amendments extending the Outside Completion Date to December 31, 2030;

•

amendments to the definition of each of “Outstanding,” “Bonds Outstanding,” and “Outstanding Bonds” in the Indenture such that any Bonds owned by or on behalf of PureCycle or an affiliate of PureCycle or the Issuer or an affiliate of the Issuer will have the same approval voting or consent rights as other Holders;

•

elimination of the requirement to produce sufficient annual gross revenues in order to provide a Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio (“DSCR”) equal to at least 150% for each fiscal year, and a ratio of at least 110% of net income available for debt service;

•

elimination of certain financial prerequisites that placed limitations on the issuance of additional senior parity indebtedness, subordinate indebtedness and non-parity indebtedness;

•

elimination of the DSCR requirement for certain equipment liens;

•

elimination of delivery of interim financial statements on a quarterly basis for PCO and the Guarantor;

•

elimination of requirement for an unqualified opinion of the independent certified public accountant for year-end financials for PCO;

•

elimination of quarterly operating statements and monthly reconciliation statements;

•

elimination of the Operating Revenue Escrow Fund;

•

elimination of the restrictions on distributions by PCO on any of its membership interests, including management fees;

•

elimination of the requirement to disclose transactions with affiliates to the Trustee and bondholders and to seek approval of Majority Holders for affiliate transactions;

•

elimination of the requirement that offtake contracts provide revenues to PCO sufficient to meet a Senior Parity Coverage Requirement ratio (“SPCR”) of 125% for any fiscal year, commencing December 31, 2023;

•

elimination of the requirement that feedstock supply contracts provide feedstock to PCO sufficient to permit PCO to meet a SPCR of 125% for any fiscal year, commencing December 31, 2023;

•

elimination of the requirement that the Guarantor replenish the Contingency Account from the Liquidity Reserve Escrow Fund and replenish the Liquidity Reserve Escrow Fund;

•

amendments providing that the occurrence of an Event of Default (other than an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement, the Mortgage or the Tax Compliance Agreement, each as defined in the Indenture) will not be an Event of Default under the Indenture;

•

provide for a potentially earlier termination of the Guaranty and release of funds remaining in the Liquidity Reserve Escrow Fund after the Purchase;

•

provide for the release of funds (solely to the extent such release may be effectuated with the consent of the Majority Holders) on deposit in accounts in the Trust Estate (as defined in the Indenture) in an amount proportionate to the percentage of aggregate principal amount of Bonds that are submitted for Purchase (with such released funds being used by the Purchaser, together with other available funds of the Purchaser, to effectuate the Purchase); and

•

amendments to various escrow accounts and other funds managed by the Trustee and US Bank to permit the release of funds from such accounts in an amount proportionate to the percentage of aggregate principal amount of Bonds purchased by PCO or an affiliate of PCO from time to time.

As of March 5, 2024, (the “Closing Date”) PCO and the Majority Holders closed on the Purchase Agreement and Consent (“Purchase Agreement”) comprising the definitive purchase agreement and, as additional consideration, the consent to the Third Supplemental Indenture, including the Proposed Amendments described therein. PureCycle Technologies LLC, an affiliate of PCO and the Guarantor under the Guaranty, will be the purchaser (“Purchaser”) of Bonds under the Purchase Agreement. The Purchase Agreement was executed by each Holder that elects to sell its Bonds to the Purchaser and by PCO and the Purchase was effective on the Closing Date.

The Purchaser purchased 99% of the outstanding Bonds with $74.5 million of unrestricted cash and $184.6 million of restricted cash. The Purchase was determined to be an extinguishment of the underlying debt obligation due to PCO being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser. PCT intends to, and has the ability to, re-market some or all of these Bonds based on the need for additional liquidity. Of the $259.1 million paid for the purchase, $5.9 million represented payment of accrued and unpaid interest prior to the Closing Date and $253.2 million was allocated to the outstanding carrying value at the Closing Date of $232.0 million. A $21.2 million loss on extinguishment of the Bonds was recognized in the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

NOTE 4 - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

On March 17, 2021, our stockholders approved the PureCycle Technologies, Inc. 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Plan”).

The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards. In general, the amount of shares issuable under the Plan will be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, by an amount equal to the lesser of (a) 3% of the shares of the Company’s common stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year, and (b) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company.

As of March 31, 2024, approximately 17.0 million shares of common stock are currently authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which approximately 12.8 million shares remain available for issuance under the Plan (assuming maximum performance with respect to the performance goals applicable to the issued Plan awards).

Restricted Stock Agreements

RSUs issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the shares equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. The fair value of the awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The Company has the option to repurchase all vested shares upon a stockholder’s termination of employment or service with the Company.

Stock Options

The stock options issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the shares equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. The fair value of the stock is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model using the following assumptions:


	March 31, 2024			March 31, 2023
Expected annual dividend yield		0.0	%		0.0	%
Expected volatility		88.5	%		77.3	%
Risk-free rate of return		4.3	%		3.5	%
Expected option term (years)		6.5			6.5

The expected term of the shares granted is determined based on the period of time the shares are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was based on the Company’s capital structure and volatility of similar entities referred to as guideline companies. In determining similar entities, the Company considered industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. The dividend yield on the Company’s shares is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using the Company’s closing stock price on the grant date.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Agreements

The shares issued pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Agreements vest depending on if the performance obligations are met. In general, the performance-based stock units (“Performance PSUs”) will be earned based on achievement of pre-established financial and operational performance objectives and will vest on the date the attainment of such performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. The Company has also issued performance-based stock units that vest if the market price of the Company’s common stock exceeds a defined target during the performance period (“Market PSUs,” together with the Performance PSUs, the “PSUs”).

The Company issued 0.4 million PSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2024. As of March 31, 2024, the performance-based provision has not been achieved for any of the outstanding performance-based awards.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the Performance PSUs equal to the fair value of the equity-based compensation awards and on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards as the Company has concluded the performance condition is probable to be met. The fair value of the awards is equal to the fair value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant.

RTI Global (“RTI”) holds warrants to purchase 971 thousand shares of PCT common stock. RTI can exercise these warrants as of March 17, 2022. The warrants expire on December 31, 2024.

Public Warrants and Private Warrants

The Company has outstanding public and private warrants which entitle each holder to exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share at the later of the closing of the Business Combination or one year after ROCH’s initial public offering, provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. The warrants will expire five years after March 17, 2021, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants are identical

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

to the public warrants, except that the private warrants and the common stock issuable upon exercise of the private warrants were not transferable, assignable or salable until after March 17, 2021, subject to certain limited exceptions. Additionally, the private warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial holder or any of its permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial holder or its permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.

The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the warrants for redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise. The public warrants are accounted for as equity classified warrants as they were determined to be indexed to the Company’s stock and meet the requirements for equity classification.

The Company has classified the private warrants as a warrant liability as there is a provision within the warrant agreement that allows for private warrants to be exercised via a cashless exercise while held by CR Financial Holdings, Inc. (the “Sponsor”) and affiliates of the Sponsor, but would not be exercisable at any time on a cashless basis if transferred and held by another investor. Therefore, the Company will classify the private warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815 until the private warrants are transferred from the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.

There were approximately 5.7 million public warrants and 0.2 million private placement warrants outstanding at March 31, 2024 and 2023. Refer to Note 9 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.

Series A Warrants

On March 7, 2022, the Company entered into subscription agreements (the “Subscription Agreements”) with certain investors (the “2022 PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Investors, in a private placement, shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, and Series A warrants to purchase shares of common stock (the “Series A Warrants”) at a price of $7.00 per share of common stock and one-half (1/2) of one Series A Warrant (the “2022 PIPE Offering”).

On March 17, 2022, the Company closed the 2022 PIPE Offering and issued to the 2022 PIPE Investors an aggregate of 35,714,272 shares of common stock and Series A Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17,857,136 shares of common stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one whole share of the Company’s common stock at a price of $11.50 per share any time after September 17, 2022 (the “Initial Exercise Date”), provided that the Company has an effective registration statement under the Securities Act covering the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the warrants and a current prospectus relating to them is available and such shares are registered, qualified or exempt from registration under the securities, or blue sky, laws of the state of residence of the holder. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of common stock. The warrants will expire on March 17, 2026.

The Company may redeem the outstanding Series A Warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company’s common stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20-trading days within a 30-trading day period commencing after the Series A Warrants become exercisable and ending three business days before the Company sends the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. If the Company calls the Series A Warrants for

redemption, management will have the option to require all holders that wish to exercise the warrants to do so on a cashless basis. In no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the warrant exercise.

The agreements governing the Series A Warrants (the “Series A Warrant Agreements”) provide for a Black-Scholes value calculation (“Black-Scholes Value”) in the event of certain transactions (“Fundamental Transactions”), which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Series A Warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Therefore, the Company will classify the Series A Warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815.

As of March 31, 2024, there were approximately 17.9 million Series A Warrants outstanding. Refer to Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.

NOTE 6 – NET LOSS PER SHARE

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common shareholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. As holders of participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund losses, undistributed net losses are not allocated to nonvested restricted stock for purposes of the loss per share calculation.

NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES

The Company has determined that any net deferred tax assets are not more likely than not to be realized in the future, and a full valuation allowance is required. In addition, the Company has determined that any current forecasted operations would result in federal and state income tax losses which are also not more likely than not to be realized. As a result, for the periods ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company has reported tax expense of $0 and $0, respectively.

Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and has determined that the Company has taken no uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the respective periods.

NOTE 9 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:

Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.

Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED

(Unaudited)

Level 3 - Inputs are unobservable for the asset or liability and include situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability. The inputs into the determination of fair value are based upon the best information in the circumstances and may require significant management judgment or estimation.

Assets and liabilities measured and recorded at Fair Value on a recurring basis

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company’s financial assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows (in thousands):

Measurement of the Private Warrants

The private warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a Black-Scholes model. The private warrants are classified as Level 3 and were valued using the following assumptions:


	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Expected annual dividend yield		—	%		—	%
Expected volatility		91.7	%		100.2	%
Risk-free rate of return		4.6	%		4.1	%
Expected option term (years)		2.0			2.2

The expected term of the warrants granted are determined based on the duration of time the warrants are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was based on the implied volatility calculated for the Company’s public warrants, which have similar characteristics to the private warrants. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using the Black-Scholes calculation.

The aggregate values of the private warrants were $0.4 million and $0.3 million on March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

Measurement of the RTI warrants

Significant changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs in isolation would not result in a materially different fair value estimate. The interrelationship between these inputs is insignificant.

The Company has determined its warrant to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and has remeasured using a Binomial Tree option pricing model to calculate its fair value using the following assumptions:


	March 31, 2024			December 31, 2023
Expected annual dividend yield		—	%		—	%
Expected volatility		112.9	%		118.1	%
Risk-free rate of return		5.1	%		4.7	%
Expected option term (years)		0.8			1.0

The expected term of the warrants granted are determined based on the duration of time the warrants are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was calculated based on the specific volatility of PCT’s publicly-traded common stock. In determining similar entities, the Company considered industry, stage of life cycle, size and financial leverage. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to be zero as the Company has not historically paid dividends. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using the Binomial Tree model calculation.

The Company has an option to repurchase the warrants at any time. The maximum fair value of the warrants is limited by the fair value of the repurchase option, which cannot exceed $15.0 million.

Changes in Level 3 liabilities measured at fair value from December 31, 2023 to March 31, 2024 are as follows (in thousands):


	Fair value (Level 3)
Balance, December 31, 2023	$	1,437
Change in fair value		1,097
Balance, March 31, 2024	$	2,534

Measurement of the Series A Warrants

The Series A Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using the market price of the Company’s publicly traded warrants, with changes in fair value recorded in current earnings. The Company has determined the publicly traded warrants to be an appropriate proxy to value the Series A Warrants as both warrants have similar redemption features and the same exercise price. The Series A Warrants are classified as Level 2 for both initial measurement at issuance and subsequent measurement each period.

Assets and liabilities recorded at carrying value

In determining the appropriate levels, the Company performs a detailed analysis of the assets and liabilities that are subject to fair value measurements.

The Company records cash and accounts payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature or stated rates. The Company records debt at cost.

NOTE 10 - AVAILABLE-FOR-SALE INVESTMENTS

The Company classifies its investments in debt securities as available-for-sale. Debt securities have been historically comprised of highly liquid investments with minimum “A” rated securities. The debt securities have historically been reported at fair value with unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Refer to Note 9 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized.

Debt securities as of March 31, 2024 had an average remaining maturity of 0.25 years.

The Company reviews available-for-sale investments for other-than-temporary impairment loss periodically. The Company considers factors such as the duration, severity and the reason for the decline in value, the potential recovery period and our intent to sell. For debt securities, we also consider whether (i) it is more likely than not that

the Company will be required to sell the debt securities before recovery of their amortized cost basis and (ii) the amortized cost basis cannot be recovered as a result of credit losses. During the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not recognize any other-than-temporary impairment losses. All marketable securities with unrealized losses have been in a loss position for less than twelve months, and the Company does not anticipate any material losses upon maturity of these investments. The fair value for fixed-rate debt securities is based on quoted market prices for the same or similar debt instruments and is classified as Level 2. The fair value for the Company's other securities holdings, primarily under commercial paper, equals the carrying value and is classified as Level 2.

NOTE 11 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Assurance

On March 14, 2024, PCT renewed a surety bond in the amount of $25.0 million to provide financial assurance related to its performance under a certain vendor contract, which expires at the earlier of satisfaction of the obligation, termination of the related vendor contract, or one year from issuance (subject to renewal within one year).

These financial instruments are issued in the normal course of business and are not considered company indebtedness. Because PCT currently has no liability for these financial assurance instruments, they are not reflected in its consolidated balance sheets.

Legal Proceedings

PCT is subject to legal and regulatory actions that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of business. The assessment as to whether a loss is probable or reasonably possible, and as to whether such loss or a range of such losses is estimable, often involves significant judgment about future events, and the outcome of litigation is inherently uncertain. Other than as described below, there is no material pending or threatened litigation against PCT that remains outstanding as of March 31, 2024.

Shareholder Securities Litigation

Beginning on or about May 11, 2021, two putative class action complaints were filed against PCT, certain senior members of management and others, asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The complaints generally allege that the applicable defendants made false and/or misleading statements in press releases and public filings regarding the Technology, PCT’s business and PCT’s prospects. The first putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida by William C. Theodore against PCT and certain senior members of management (the “Initial Theodore Lawsuit”). The second putative class action complaint was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida by David Tennenbaum against PCT, certain senior members of management and others (the “Tennenbaum Lawsuit”). On July 14, 2021, the court granted a motion to consolidate the Initial Theodore and Tennenbaum Lawsuits (consolidated as the “Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit”) and on July 27, 2021, Tennenbaum filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss his complaint without prejudice. On August 5, 2021, the Court entered an order appointing Mariusz Ciecko and Robert Ciecko as Co-Lead Plaintiffs (“Lead Plaintiffs”) and Pomerantz LLP as Lead Counsel.

On September 27, 2021, the Lead Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint. The consolidated amended complaint seeks to represent a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired PCT’s securities between November 16, 2020, and May 5, 2021, certification of the alleged class, as well as compensatory and punitive

damages. The consolidated amended complaint relies on information included in a research report published by Hindenburg Research LLC.

On November 12, 2021, PCT and the individual defendants affiliated with PCT (“PCT Defendants”) and Byron Roth each filed separate motions to dismiss Lead Plaintiffs’ amended complaint. Additional submissions by the parties were filed in December 2021 and January 2022.

On August 4, 2022, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida dismissed the Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit, without prejudice. Plaintiffs filed their second amended complaint on August 18, 2022, in which they seek to represent a class of investors who purchased or otherwise acquired PCT’s securities between November 16, 2020, and November 10, 2021, and alleged violations of Section 10(b) and Section 14(a) of the Exchange Act.

On September 15, 2022, the PCT Defendants and Byron Roth each filed a motion to dismiss the second amended complaint, and the parties filed additional responsive pleadings in October 2022. On June 15, 2023, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida granted the PCT Defendants’ motion solely with regard to named defendant Tamsin Ettefagh, but denied the motion as to all other defendants. On June 30, 2023, the PCT Defendants filed a Motion for Reconsideration. Further, on July 14, 2023, each of the PCT and Roth Defendants filed their respective Answers and Counterclaims. The Motion for Reconsideration remains pending.

On November 30, 2023, Lead Plaintiffs filed their motion to certify two classes: a Section 14(a) class and a Section 10(b) class. On January 17, 2024, Lead Plaintiffs amended their motion for class certification to seek certification of only the Section 10(b) class. On January 23, 2024, PCT, the Individual Defendants and Bryon Roth submitted a joint opposition to Lead Plaintiffs’ motion for class certification. Plaintiffs’ reply in support of their motion for class certification was filed on February 21, 2024. The parties have been engaged in discovery, which is currently scheduled to close in July 2024. On March 21, 2024, the Court agreed to stay the litigation for thirty days in order to give the parties an opportunity to try to resolve the action through mediation.

On September 29, 2023, Jay Southgate, a purported shareholder, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against PCT, and certain senior members of management (“Individual Southgate Defendants”), asserting violations of federal securities laws under Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act (the "Southgate Lawsuit"). The complaints generally allege that the applicable defendants made false and/or misleading statements in press releases and public filings between August 8, 2023 and September 13, 2023, regarding the status of commissioning activities at the Ironton Facility, and specifically the impact of a power outage at the Ironton Facility in August 2023 and subsequent seal system failure in September 2023. Purported shareholders have filed motions to be appointed lead plaintiff in the action, and on February 20, 2024, the Court appointed James Smith as Lead Plaintiff and Glancy Prongay & Murray LLP as Lead Counsel.

On April 5, 2024, plaintiffs in the Southgate matter filed an amended complaint (“Amended Southgate Complaint”), in which the plaintiffs allege the Company and the Individual Southgate Defendants violated Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act. The Amended Southgate Complaint alleges that beginning in April 2023 through December 2023, the Company and the Individual Southgate Defendants made misleading and inaccurate statements and omissions regarding the operations at the Ironton Facility, PCT’s ability to meet certain milestones and alleged issues with certain third-party contractors. On May 6, 2024, the Company and the Individual Southgate Defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Southgate complaint.

PCT, the PCT Defendants and the Individual Southgate Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the

Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit and the Amended Southgate Lawsuits. Given the stage of the litigation, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may arise from the unresolved Theodore and Amended Southgate Lawsuits.

Derivative Litigation

On November 3, 2021, Byung-Gook Han, a purported PCT shareholder, derivatively and purportedly on behalf of PCT, filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware (Byung-Gook Han v. Otworth et. al., Case No. 1:21-cv-01569-UNA) against certain senior members of PCT’s management, PCT’s directors and Byron Roth, who was subsequently dismissed (collectively, the “Individual Han Defendants”), alleging violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and breaches of fiduciary duties and bringing claims for unjust enrichment and waste of corporate assets (“Han Derivative Lawsuit"). On January 19, 2022, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Han Derivative Lawsuit and administratively closed the matter pending the disposition of the motions to dismiss in the Class Action Lawsuits.

On January 27, 2022, Patrick Ayers, a purported PCT shareholder, derivatively and purportedly on behalf of PCT, filed a shareholder derivative action in the United States District Court of the District of Delaware, captioned Patrick Ayers v. Otworth et. al., Case No. 1:22-cv-00110, against certain members of PCT’s management, PCT’s directors and others (collectively, the “Individual Ayers Defendants”), alleging violations of Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act and breaches of fiduciary duties, as well as claims for unjust enrichment, gross mismanagement, contribution, and indemnification (“Ayers Derivative Lawsuit").

On March 17, 2022, the court granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Ayers Derivative Lawsuit and administratively closed the matter pending the disposition of the motions to dismiss in the Class Action Lawsuits.

After the court in the Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit ruled on the second motion to dismiss, the stay in the derivative actions was lifted. Ayers and Han (collectively the “Derivative Plaintiffs”), PCT and the Individual Ayers and Han Defendants (collectively, the “Individual Derivative Defendants”) filed a joint stipulation to consolidate the related derivative actions on June 26, 2023. The court granted the motion to consolidate the derivative actions on June 27, 2023, and ordered the Consolidated Derivative Action to be captioned In re: PureCycle Technologies, Inc. Derivative Litigation, Lead Case No. 21-1569-RGA (D. Del.) (“Consolidated Derivative Litigation”). In light of the Motion for Reconsideration in the Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit, the Derivative Plaintiffs, PCT, and Individual Derivative Defendants filed a joint stipulation to continue the stay of the Consolidated Derivative Litigation until thirty days after the court in the Class Action rules on the Motion for Reconsideration. Because the Motion for Reconsideration in the Consolidated Theodore Lawsuit remains pending, the stay of the Consolidated Derivative Litigation remains in effect.

On February 23, 2024, Ayers filed an amended derivative complaint under seal. The Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint generally alleges that the Individual Derivative Defendants made materially false and misleading statements and omissions in press releases, webinars and other public filings regarding PCT’s business, the technology, PCT’s prospects, the background and experience of the Individual Derivative Defendants, PCT’s internal controls, and various production issues and delays. The Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint seeks unspecified monetary damages, reform of the corporate governance and internal procedures, unspecified restitution from the Individual Han Defendants, and costs and fees associated with bringing the action. At this stage of the litigation, neither PCT nor the Individual Ayers Defendants have answered the Consolidated Amended Derivative Complaint, moved to dismiss the complaint, or otherwise responded to the complaint.

On March 29, 2024, John Brunson, a purported PCT shareholder, and on behalf of whom the February 2023 Delaware 220 demand referenced below was issued to the Company, derivatively and purportedly on behalf of PCT, filed a shareholder derivative action under seal in the Court of Chancery in the State of Delaware, captioned John Brunson v. Otworth et. al., against certain members of PCT’s management, PCT’s directors and others (collectively, the “Individual Brunson Defendants”), alleging breaches of fiduciary duties, aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty, corporate waste, and unjust enrichment (“Brunson Derivative Lawsuit"). The Brunson Derivative Lawsuit generally contains similar allegations as contained in Consolidated Derivative Amended Derivative Complaint, as well as allegations regarding undisclosed operational risks, production issues and delays, persistent failure to remediate known material deficiencies, including inadequate staffing, lack of segregation of duties, unfamiliarity with financial reporting requirements, and lack of accounting resources, leading to revisions of prior financial statements. The Brunson Derivative Lawsuit also references two reports by Bleeker Street Research in November 2023 which alleged that the Company had misled investors about the launch of the Ironton Facility, and would not meet its production targets. Plaintiffs also point to and discuss the Theodore Securities Class Action and allege that PCT is exposed to liability in that case. The Brunson Derivative Lawsuit seeks unspecified monetary damages, declaratory relief, unspecified disgorgement and restitution from the Individual Brunson Defendants, and costs and fees associated with bringing the action.

The Individual Derivative Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Consolidated Derivative Litigation and the Brunson Derivative Lawsuit. Given the stage of the litigation, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may arise from the unresolved Consolidated Derivative Litigation or Brunson Derivative Lawsuit.

In the future, PCT may become party to additional legal matters and claims arising in the ordinary course of business. While PCT is unable to predict the outcome of the above or future matters, it does not believe, based upon currently available facts, that the ultimate resolution of any such pending matters will have a material adverse effect on its overall financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Denham-Blythe Arbitration

On October 7, 2020, PCO, a subsidiary of PCT and Denham-Blythe Company, Inc. (“DB”) executed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement for certain construction activities associated with the Ironton Facility (“EPC Contract”).

On June 16, 2023, following unsuccessful efforts at mediating various disputes over certain unapproved change orders and payment applications, DB filed a demand for binding arbitration (“Arbitration Demand”) with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), seeking approximately $17.0 million related to certain fee applications, change orders and amounts currently held in retainage by PCO, and, on June 21, 2023, filed a mechanics lien in Lawrence County, Ohio for the same sum. On July 20, 2023, PCO filed its Answer and Counterclaim, in which PCO contends that various deficiencies in DB’s work resulted in damages to PCO in excess of DB’s $17.0 million Arbitration Demand, including, but not limited to, the following: DB’s insufficient and incomplete engineering drawings and packages, insufficient and unorganized material management, insufficient and inefficient contractor management, insufficient and rudimentary schedule management, incomplete and inefficient procurement procedures, and that the Company was required to undertake significant re-work at additional cost resulting from DB’s failure to adequately perform its obligations under the EPC Contract. On September 14, 2023, DB filed a motion with the AAA seeking to join ThermalTech Engineering, Inc., and ThermalTech Turnkey Solutions LLC, a subcontractor engaged by DB to provide engineering services for the Ironton Project. PCO and ThermalTech Engineering, Inc. have objected to the joinder and the matter remains pending.

(Unaudited)

On August 30, 2023, DB filed a breach of contract claim against PCO and others in Lawrence County Ohio, alleging the same facts contained in its arbitration demand, as well as an action to foreclose on a lien filed in Lawrence County, Ohio. Concurrently DB requested the complaint be stayed pending the resolution of all issues in the arbitration. On December 12, 2023, defendant UMB Bank, N.A. (“UMB”) filed an Answer and Counterclaim against DB. On January 9, 2024, the Lawrence County Court granted DB’s request for a stay of the lawsuit pending the resolution of the arbitration proceeding.

PCO intends to vigorously defend itself against DB’s claims and to pursue recovery of damages resulting from DB’s failure to perform adequately under the EPC Contract. Given the stage of the arbitration, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may result from the Arbitration Demand.

Other Matters

On February 3, 2023, the Company received a books and records demand pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, from a purported stockholder of the Company, in connection with the stockholder’s investigation of, among other matters, potential breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, self-dealing, corporate waste or other violations of law by the Company’s Board with respect to these matters. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

On October 6, 2023 and October 27, 2023, the Company received two additional books and records demands pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, from two purported stockholders of the Company, in connection with the stockholders’ investigation of, among other matters, potential breaches of fiduciary duty, mismanagement, self-dealing, corporate waste or other violations of law by the Company’s Board with respect to these matters. We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

NOTE 12 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

In connection with the preparation of the condensed consolidated interim financial statements for the period ended March 31, 2024, management has evaluated events through May 8, 2024 to determine whether any events required recognition or disclosure in the condensed consolidated interim financial statements. The following subsequent events were identified through the date of these condensed consolidated interim financial statements:

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis provides information which PCT’s management believes is relevant to an assessment and understanding of PCT’s condensed consolidated results of operations and financial condition. The discussion should be read together with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes and Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as the unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements, together with related notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion may contain forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks, uncertainties, and assumptions. Our actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under “Risk Factors” in the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” to “we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of PCT and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

PCT’s process includes two steps: Feed Pre-Processing (“Feed PreP”) and the use of PCT’s recycling technology for purification. The Feed PreP step will collect, sort, and prepare polypropylene waste (“feedstock”) for purification. The purification step is a purification recycling process that uses a combination of solvent, temperature, and pressure to return the feedstock to near-virgin condition through a novel configuration of commercially available equipment and unit operations. The purification process puts the plastic through a physical extraction process using super critical fluids that both extract and filter out contaminants and purify the color, opacity, and odor of the plastic without changing the bonds of the polymer. By not altering the chemical makeup of the polymer, the Company is able to use significantly less energy and reduce production costs as compared to virgin resin.

The Ironton Facility

PCT commenced commissioning activities at its first commercial-scale plant in Lawrence County, Ohio (referred to herein as the “Ironton Facility”), in April 2023, achieved mechanical completion of the plant and commenced pellet production from post-industrial and post-consumer materials later in 2023. The Ironton Facility leverages the existing infrastructure of PCT’s pilot facility known as the Feedstock Evaluation Unit (the “FEU”), which became operational in 2019, and the Ironton Facility is expected to have UPR resin capacity of approximately 107 million pounds/year when fully operational. PCT sold an immaterial amount of UPR resin through the first quarter of 2024 but has not yet reached meaningful volumes and on-spec product. PCT has experienced intermittent mechanical challenges during the commissioning process including, but not limited to, limits in the rates at which certain contaminants can currently be removed from the purification process, as well as challenges with continuous operations of the pelletizing system for finished product. While these mechanical issues are not uncommon for

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

first-of-its kind manufacturing facilities, the down-time needed to correct these issues is delaying the Ironton Facility from reaching consistent sustainable production rates. We expect the Ironton Facility to be fully operational later in 2024.

The Augusta Facility

In July 2021, PCT reached an agreement with The Augusta Economic Development Authority (“AEDA”) to build its first U.S. facility with multiple lines for both Feed PreP and purification (“multi-line facility”) in Augusta, Georgia (the “Augusta Facility”). PCT expects the approximately 200-acre location to eventually include up to eight production lines, which are expected to collectively have UPR resin production capacity of approximately 1 billion pounds per year. When fully operational, each purification line at the Augusta Facility is expected to have annual production capacity of approximately 130 million pounds of PCT’s UPR resin. PureCycle has allocated 40% of the Augusta Facility output, for Lines 1 and 2, to existing customers and expects that additional offtake agreements will continue to be negotiated.

On June 30, 2023, PCT and the AEDA executed an Economic Development Agreement (“EDA”) related to the Company’s plans to construct the Augusta Facility. Pursuant to the EDA, PCT expects to receive certain property tax abatement benefits as well as certain other incentives, including site infrastructure development assistance (“Incentive Benefits”). In order to receive the Incentive Benefits under Phase One (as defined below) of the Augusta Project, PCT will be obligated to create 82 full-time jobs with investments of at least $440 million no later than December 31, 2026. Through March 31, 2024, PCT has invested approximately $88.0 million for pre-construction engineering and long-lead equipment for the benefit of Phase One investments. If PCT elects to activate the second phase of the Augusta Project, PCT will be required to create an additional 25 full-time jobs and investments of $295 million no later than December 31, 2028. To the extent PCT fails to achieve an average of 80% of the jobs and investment commitments in any year over the 20-years of each phase, PCT will be required to make a repayment to the AEDA of a pro rata portion of the total value of the Incentive Benefits received by PCT in such year.

Also on June 30, 2023, PCT entered into a series of agreements with the AEDA to construct phase one (“Phase One”) of the Augusta Facility. PCT is leasing 150 acres of land (“Real Property”) owned by the AEDA and will construct buildings, building equipment, and other structures (the “Improvements”) on the land. PCT will also acquire and install the necessary processing, warehousing, and other equipment, as well as conveyors and pipelines (the “Equipment”, together with the Real Property and the Improvements, the “Augusta Project”). The Improvements and Equipment will be transferred to the AEDA and leased back by PCT. As noted above, PCT anticipates that the first portion of Phase One will consist of one purification line and construction commenced prior to the end of 2023. Also as noted above, construction of the first purification line must be completed by December 31, 2026.

The legal sale-leaseback structure provides the Incentive Benefits to PCT as lessee of the Augusta Project. PCT will remain the owner of the Improvements and Equipment for accounting purposes during the term of the lease as PCT will have the right to acquire title to the Augusta Project for a nominal amount during the term and at the conclusion of the arrangement, which has an initial expiration date in 2044. The payments PCT makes to the AEDA during the term of the arrangement are not otherwise expected to be material.

At the end of 2023, the Company commenced site preparation activities, including debris removal and site stabilization activities, and continued with payments to vendors for certain long lead-time equipment. Pursuant to the EDA, PCT must also show continuous construction progress, with regard to the first purification line under the first phase of the Augusta Project during 2024 or risk losing certain future Incentive Benefits. Market conditions

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

remain challenging and have created uncertainty as to the timing or likelihood of success of the currently anticipated project financing for the Augusta Facility. As a result, PCT is currently pursuing various structures for project financing of the Augusta Facility. While PCT remains confident in its ability to finance the Augusta Facility, it is limiting its expenses and adjusting its timeline in light of this uncertainty. If PCT is unable to raise additional debt or equity, when desired, or on terms favorable to PCT, PCT’s business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected.

Feedstock Pricing

PCT sees a robust pipeline of demand for its recycled polypropylene and PCT is seeing market acceptance of its “Feedstock+” pricing model for its UPR resin. The “Feedstock+” pricing model divides the market cost of feedstock by a set yield-loss and adds a fixed price, which effectively passes on the cost of feedstock and de-risks PCT’s operating margin volatility.

For the Ironton Facility, PCT’s feedstock price was linked, in part, to changes in the Chemical Market Analysis, the index for virgin polypropylene, in a price schedule that contained a fixed, collared price around an index price range, which was further adjusted based on the percentage of polypropylene in the feedstock supplied. For the Augusta Facility and future purification facilities, PCT plans to link the feedstock price, in part, to the price of a no. 5 plastic bale of polypropylene as reported by recyclingmarkets.net (“Feedstock Market Pricing”). PCT will procure both feedstock in line with Feedstock Market Pricing as well as low value feedstocks that can be processed by PCT, below Feedstock Market Pricing for the Augusta Facility.

PreP Facilities

In conjunction with the Augusta Facility, PCT also plans to build and operate Feed PreP facilities in locations geographically near the feed sources to optimize PCT’s supply chain economics. During the third quarter of 2022, PCT experienced challenges obtaining the necessary water and sewer permits to construct its first planned Feed PreP facility in Central Florida. PCT is evaluating its available recourses, including legal requirements and remedies with regard to its obligations for the remaining 8 years of its 11-year lease agreement for the Central Florida facility. PCT is also evaluating alternative preprocessing sites in other locations. Also, on August 24, 2022, PCT signed a lease for a future PreP facility in Denver, Pennsylvania, which is expected to be operationally ready in late 2024. Throughout the second half of 2021, PCT developed a feedstock processing system with advanced sorting capabilities that can handle various types of plastics in addition to polypropylene (designated as no. 5 plastic). PCT’s enhanced sorting should allow PCT to process plastic bales between no. 1 and no. 7. PCT’s new Feed PreP facilities will extract polypropylene and ship it to PCT’s purification lines, while the non-polypropylene feed will be sorted, baled, and subsequently sold on the open market.

Letter of No Objection Submission and the Granting of FDA Food Packaging Clearances for Certain Feedstocks

On September 10, 2021, PCT filed for a U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) Letter of No Objection (“LNO”), for Conditions of Use A – H. Conditions of Use describe the temperature and duration at which a material should be tested to simulate the way the material is intended to be used. Conditions of Use C – H address many consumer product packaging requirements, including applications for hot filled and pasteurized, as well as room temperature, refrigerated and frozen applications. Generally speaking, Conditions of Use A and B relate to extreme temperature applications. The LNO submission also defines the feedstock sources for the Company’s planned commercial recycling process, and this LNO submission pertained to (i) food grade post-industrial recycled feedstocks and (ii) food grade curbside post-consumer recycled feedstocks.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

The FDA confirmed receipt of the submission on September 13, 2021 and followed up with additional questions and requests for clarification in a letter received by PCT on January 7, 2022. PCT responded to the FDA’s questions on February 17, 2022.

On September 6, 2022, PCT received two separate notifications from the FDA with respect to the following two feedstock sources:

(i) Food grade post-industrial recycled feedstocks: an FDA opinion letter approving Conditions of Use A – H and

(ii) Food-grade post-consumer recycled feedstock from stadiums: an FDA LNO for Conditions of Use E – G.

The Company’s FDA food contact grades are capable of being used for all food types per the conditions of use listed and per all applicable authorizations in the food contact regulations listed in the 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations, Title 21).

The Company is conducting additional testing and plans to make further LNO submissions for additional post-consumer recycled feedstock sources and expanded Conditions of Use.

Future Expansion

On January 17, 2023, the Company announced that its first European purification facility will be in Antwerp, Belgium. On October 20, 2022, the Company executed a Joint Venture Agreement with SK geo centric Co., Ltd., to develop a UPR purification facility in Ulsan, South Korea. The parties will each hold an equal stake in the joint venture with commencement of construction activities pending necessary financing. The Company is also planning to expand its production capabilities into Asia through negotiation of joint ventures with Mitsui & Co. Ltd. in Japan for in-country production and sales. Future expansion is dependent on successful completion of project financing.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

PCT generated an immaterial amount of revenue through the first quarter of 2024 but has not yet reached (i) significant continuous operational volumes at the Ironton Facility or (ii) significant revenue generation. The Ironton Facility is expected to be fully operational later in 2024.

Operating Costs

Operating expenses to date have consisted mainly of personnel costs (including wages, salaries and benefits) and other costs directly related to operations at PCT’s operating facilities, including rent, depreciation, repairs and maintenance, utilities and supplies. Costs attributable to the design and development of the Ironton Facility, Augusta Facility, and Feed PreP facilities in Central Florida and Denver, Pennsylvania, are capitalized and, when placed in service, will be depreciated over the expected useful life of the asset. We expect our operating costs to increase as we continue to scale operations and increase headcount.

Research and Development Expense

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs related to the development of the Technology, the facilities and equipment that will use the Technology to purify recycled polypropylene, and the processes needed to collect, sort, and prepare feedstock for purification. These include mainly personnel costs, depreciation for long-lived assets, third-party consulting costs, and the cost of various recycled waste. We expect our research and development expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we increase investment in feedstock evaluation, including investment in new front-end feedstock mechanical separators to improve feedstock purity and increase the range of feedstocks PCT can process economically. In addition, we are increasing our in-house feedstock analytical capabilities, which will include additional supporting equipment and personnel.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of personnel-related expenses for our corporate, executive, finance and other administrative functions and professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services. We expect our selling, general, and administrative expenses to increase for the foreseeable future as we scale headcount with the growth of our business, and as a result of operating as a public company, including compliance with the rules and regulations of the SEC, legal, audit, additional insurance expenses, investor relations activities, and other administrative and professional services.

Results of Operations

Comparison of three ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

The following table summarizes our operating results for the three ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

Net loss	$	(85,607	)	$	(25,842	)	$	(59,765	)		231	%

Operating costs

The increase for the three month period was primarily attributable to higher depreciation expense related to assets supporting operations of $7.9 million due primarily to placing the Ironton Facility assets in service in the second quarter of 2023, increased operational site costs of $4.3 million related to operating the Ironton Facility, higher labor costs of $1.0 million due primarily to increased contract labor at the Ironton Facility related to plant optimization activities, and higher rent for operating facilities of $0.7 million.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses did not significantly change period over period.

Selling, general and administrative expenses

The increase for the three month period was principally attributable to $2.1 million higher legal and professional consulting fees primarily related to the purchase of the Revenue Bonds in the first quarter of 2024, and higher insurance cost of $0.7 million.

Interest expense

The increase for the three month period was attributable to additional financing incurred in the second and third quarters of 2023, including closing of $250.0 million of green convertible senior notes in August 2023, as well as ceasing capitalization of interest on the Revenue Bonds beginning in June 2023 as the plant is now in service.

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

Interest income

The increase for the three month period was attributable to higher interest earned on PCT’s investment portfolio and money market funds due to rising interest rates, as well as a higher average balance of invested funds in the first quarter of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.

Change in fair value of warrants

The increased expense for the three month period was attributable to the change in fair value of the Company’s liability-classified warrants, of which the primary drivers of the change in valuation related to changes in the underlying price of PCT’s common stock, as well as fluctuations in volatility and reduction in the warrant terms with the passage of time.

Loss on debt extinguishment

The amount reported in the first quarter of 2024 relates to the loss recorded on the purchase of the majority of the outstanding Revenue Bonds.

Other expense

Other expenses were not material for either period presented.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

During 2023 and through March 31, 2024, PCT commenced commercial operations and sold an immaterial amount of UPR resin but has not yet reached significant continuous operational volumes. PCT’s ongoing operations have, to date, been funded by a combination of equity financing through the issuance of units and debt financing through the issuance of various debt instruments. The following is a summary of the components of our current liquidity. The Debt Securities Available for Sale represent investment holdings in highly liquid debt securities and commercial paper with an average maturity of less than one year. As of December 31, 2023, Restricted Cash consisted primarily of certain amounts required for the Series 2020A Bonds and other initial construction commitments for the Augusta Facility. On March 5, 2024, a subsidiary of the Company purchased 99% of the outstanding Bonds which, among other things, released Restricted Cash to be used to purchase the Bonds. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Liquidity and Capital Resources – Indebtedness – Revenue Bonds” for more information.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

PCT sold an immaterial amount of UPR resin in 2023 and through March 31, 2024. Due to intermittent mechanical challenges during the commissioning process of the Ironton Facility, the Ironton Facility has not yet reached the point of producing meaningful volumes and on-spec product. While these mechanical issues are not uncommon for a first-of-its kind manufacturing facility, the downtime needed to correct these issues is a significant contributing factor to the delay of the Ironton Facility reaching the point of producing meaningful volumes and on-spec product. We expect the Ironton Facility to be fully operational later in 2024.

As of March 31, 2024, PCT anticipates that up to $12.5 million will be needed to complete the investment in the Ironton Facility, which relates to a performance guarantee payment due after successful completion of a performance testing milestone. PCT also has other capital commitments of approximately $47.1 million related to long-lead equipment and pre-construction work for the Augusta Facility and $17.0 million for equipment and leases related to future Feed PreP and purification facilities, both in the U.S. and internationally. Moreover, there are interest payments of at least $18.5 million, as well as other ongoing monthly costs associated with managing the Company and possible draws on the Revolving Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the requirements of the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205-40, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, management must evaluate whether there are conditions or events, considered in the aggregate, that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern for one year from the date the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are issued. This evaluation does not take into consideration the potential mitigating effect of management’s plans that have not been fully implemented or are not within control of the Company as of the date the financial statements are issued. When substantial doubt exists under this methodology, management evaluates whether the mitigating effect of its plans sufficiently alleviates substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The mitigating effect of management’s plans, however, is only considered if both (1) it is probable that the plans will be effectively implemented within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued, and (2) it is probable that the plans, when implemented, will mitigate the relevant conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the consolidated financial statements are issued.

PCT believes that its current level of unrestricted liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations, outstanding commitments, and further its future growth plans. The conditions described above raise substantial doubt regarding PCT’s ability to continue as a going concern for a period of at least one year from the date of issuance of the consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

In an effort to alleviate these conditions, PCT is currently performing certain operational enhancements that are expected to correct the production issues with the Ironton Facility. Further, on March 5, 2024, PureCycle Technologies LLC ("PCT LLC") purchased 99% of the outstanding Bonds, which used $50.8 million, net, of unrestricted cash, and reduced Restricted Cash by $207.1 million. The purchased Bonds are held in an account with PCT LLC. PCT intends to, and has the ability to, re-market some or all of these Bonds based on the need for additional liquidity. The re-marketing process may require the addition of certain covenants to enhance the marketability of the purchased Bonds. The ability to re-market the purchased Bonds with any such additional new covenants would require a further amendment to, or waiver of, provisions included within the Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan Credit Agreement. After considering management’s plans to mitigate these conditions,

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

including adjustment of expenditure timing and execution of the amendment to the Revolving Credit Facility, PCT believes this substantial doubt has been alleviated and it has sufficient liquidity to continue as a going concern for the next twelve months.

PCT’s future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the funding mechanism and construction schedule of the Augusta Facility and other anticipated facilities outside the United States, build-out of multiple Feed PreP facilities, funding needs to support other business opportunities, funding for general corporate purposes, and other challenges or unforeseen circumstances. As a low-revenue operating company, PCT continually reviews its cash outlays, pace of hiring, professional services and other spend, and capital commitments to proactively manage those needs in tandem with our Available Unrestricted Liquidity balance. For future growth and investment, PCT expects to seek additional debt or equity financing from outside sources, which it may not be able to raise on terms favorable to PCT, or at all. If PCT is unable to raise additional debt or sell additional equity when desired, or if PCT is unable to manage its cash outflows, PCT’s business, financial condition, and results of operations would be adversely affected. In addition, any financing arrangement may have potentially adverse effects on PCT and/or its stockholders. Debt financing (if available and undertaken) will increase expenses, must be repaid regardless of operating results and may involve restrictions limiting PCT’s operating flexibility. If PCT consummates an equity financing to raise additional funds, the percentage ownership of its existing stockholders will be reduced, and the new equity securities may have rights, preferences or privileges senior to those of the current holders of PCT’s common stock.

PCT has no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on its financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. PCT does not have any off-balance sheet arrangements or interests in variable interest entities that would require consolidation. Note that while certain legally binding offtake arrangements have been entered into with customers, these arrangements are not unconditional and definite agreements subject only to customer closing conditions, and do not qualify as off-balance sheet arrangements required for disclosure.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

The $24.4 million increase in net cash used in operating activities for the three months ending March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to higher interest payments on debt of $16.4 million (including $8.6 million paid for the green convertible notes and $5.9 million in outstanding interest paid in connection with the purchase of the Revenue Bonds), an increase in cash payments related to operating expenses of $5.5 million primarily driven by an increase in operational site costs at the Ironton Facility, higher cash paid related to employee costs of approximately $3.2 million, higher lease payments for operating facilities and equipment rentals of approximately $0.8 million, partially offset by higher interest income of $1.7 million driven primarily by interest earned on the Company’s investment portfolio.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

The $20.7 million decrease in cash provided by investing activities for the three months ending March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was attributable to $30.6 million higher investment purchases and $22.4 million lower maturities and sales of investments, offset by $32.3 million lower capital expenditure payments.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

The $253.8 million increase in net cash used in financing activities for the three months ending March 31, 2024 compared to the same period in 2023 was primarily attributable to $253.2 million paid to purchase the outstanding Revenue Bonds.

Indebtedness

There have been no material changes regarding the Company's indebtedness from the information we provided in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, except as outlined in the information below. Refer to Note 3 (“Notes Payable and Debt Instruments”) to the Notes to the Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Company's outstanding indebtedness.

Revenue Bonds

On October 7, 2020, the Southern Ohio Port Authority (“SOPA”) issued certain Revenue Bonds (as defined below) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of October 1, 2020 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), between SOPA and UMB Bank, N.A., as Trustee (“Trustee”), and loaned the proceeds from their sale to PureCycle: Ohio LLC (“PCO”), an Ohio limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”), pursuant to a Loan Agreement dated as of October 1, 2020, between SOPA and PCO (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Loan Agreement”) to be used to, among other things, acquire, construct and equip the Company’s first commercial-scale recycling facility in Lawrence County, Ohio (the “Ironton Facility”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture.

The Revenue Bonds were offered in three series, including (i) Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020A (“Series 2020A Bonds”); (ii) Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020B (“Series 2020B Bonds”); and (iii) Subordinated Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Taxable Series 2020C (“Series 2020C Bonds” and, together with the Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds, the “Bonds” or "Revenue Bonds").

All of the Bonds are Outstanding under the Indenture. PureCycle Technologies LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Guarantor”), purchased $246.8 million in aggregate principal amount of Bonds Outstanding under the Indenture on March 5, 2024, of which $216.8 million in aggregate principal amount are Series 2020A Bonds, and continues to hold all of those purchased Bonds such that the Guarantor comprises the Majority Holders. The Purchase was determined to be an extinguishment of the underlying debt obligation due to PCO being a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Purchaser. PCT intends to, and has the ability to, re-market some or all of these Bonds based on the need for additional liquidity. The re-marketing process may require the addition of certain covenants to enhance the marketability of the purchased Bonds.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED

May 11, 2021, and effective as of October 7, 2020 (the “Guaranty”), by instructing the Trustee to release $22.1 million from the Senior Bonds Debt Service Reserve Fund and $3.3 million from the Repair and Replacement Fund, in each case, to PCO. In addition, the Fourth Supplemental Indenture provides that the Senior Bonds Debt Service Reserve Requirement, the Subordinate Bonds Debt Service Reserve Requirement, and the Repair and Replacement Fund Requirement shall each be reduced to $0, respectively, and that certain provisions of the Indenture and/or the Loan Agreement, as applicable, relating to the funding and maintenance of the Senior Bonds Debt Service Reserve Fund, the Subordinate Bonds Debt Service Reserve Fund, and the Repair and Replacement Fund, will be suspended until the effectiveness of an amendment to the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and/or other applicable Financing Documents provides otherwise in accordance with the terms of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and such other applicable Financing Documents.

See Part II, Item 5 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for additional information regarding the Bonds from the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q to the filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

into as of the Initial Closing Date (as defined in the Pure Plastic Purchase Agreement), the Company is required to pay a 12% prepayment premium on the outstanding principal and interest paid in order to prepay the Term Loan Facility (the “Prepayment Premium”) plus certain expenses. The Company will issue warrants (“Series B Warrants”) to Pure Plastic pursuant to a Series B Warrant Agreement to satisfy the Prepayment Premium (the “Series B Warrant Agreement”).
