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 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 the Ironton Facility. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Indenture or the Loan Agreement.

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 ("PCTO Holdco") 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 was to occur only if Sellers, including at least the Majority Holders, consented to the Proposed Amendments. The purchase price did not include any default or penalty interest accruing from January 1, 2024 that may otherwise have been 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 the Company, an affiliate of the Company, 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. PCT LLC, an affiliate of PCO and the Guarantor under the Guaranty, is 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.

On March 5, 2024, PCT LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, purchased 99% of the outstanding revenue 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. As of March 31, 2025, there were $99.0 million of outstanding Bonds that PCT intends to, and has the ability to, re-market 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 Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss) for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

On March 25, 2024, SOPA, as Issuer, PCO, the Guarantor, PCTO Holdco, a Delaware limited liability company and affiliate of PCO (the pledgor under the Equity Pledge and Security Agreement (as defined in the Fourth Supplemental Indenture)) and the Trustee entered into the Fourth Supplemental Indenture (the “Fourth Supplemental Indenture”), which amended certain provisions of the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and that certain Amended and Restated Guaranty of Completion, entered into as of May 11, 2021, and effective as of October 7, 2020 (the “Guaranty”), by instructing the Trustee to release $22.1 million from the 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, 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.

On June 14, 2024, SOPA, as Issuer, PCO, the Guarantor, PCTO Holdco, and the Trustee entered into the Fifth Supplemental Indenture (the “Fifth Supplemental Indenture”), which amended certain provisions of the Indenture including (a) redefining “Majority Holders” to be the Holders of seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of the Senior Bonds then outstanding, or if no Senior Bonds are then outstanding, the Holders of seventy-five percent (75%) in aggregate principal amount of Bonds then outstanding, and (b) amending the lead paragraph of Section 10.02(a) of the Indenture by raising the threshold for consenting to and approving the execution by the Issuer and the Trustee of Supplemental Indentures from “Holders of not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Bonds” to “Holders of not less than 75% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Senior Bonds” with the limited exceptions therein stated.

The issuance of the Related Party Bonds and retirement of the Term Loan Facility (as defined below) with Pure Plastic (as defined below) was accounted for as a debt modification. The principal issued for the Related Party Bonds amounted to $94.3 million, with $29.8 million of discount and $1.5 million of issuance costs recorded as a reduction of the debt carrying value on the date of the transaction (including retention of $1.5 million of discount and $1.5 million of issuance cost remaining on the Term Loan Facility as of the transaction date, as well as a discount of $6.8 million related to the value of the Series B Warrants issued in satisfaction of the Prepayment Premium). The

carrying value of the Related Party Bonds is recorded within Related party bonds payable in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

On August 7, 2024, PCT LLC, Pure Plastic, and several other parties reached agreement on terms whereby certain investors purchased approximately $22.5 million in aggregate par amount of Series A Bonds owned by PCT LLC at a purchase price of $800 per $1,000 principal amount (the “August Purchased Bonds”) under a bond purchase agreement. The purchase of the August Purchased Bonds was completed and funds received by PCT LLC on or about August 9, 2024, with $12.5 million in aggregate par amount being sold to Pure Plastic and $10.0 million in aggregate par amount being sold to other parties. Refer to Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information.

On October 25, 2024, SOPA, as Issuer, PCO, the Guarantor, PCTO Holdco and the Trustee entered into the Sixth Supplemental Indenture (the “Sixth Supplemental Indenture”), which amended certain provisions of the Indenture and Loan Agreements to include, among other things, certain financial covenants. The amendments were a requirement of the Bond Purchase Agreement. Amendments to the Indenture and Loan Agreement included, in relevant part, the following:

amending the definition of “Outside Completion Date” to mean December 31, 2026;
amending the definition of “Overall Coverage Requirement” to mean a ratio of at least 105% of (a) Net Income Available for Debt Service to (b) all obligations of PCO which are charges, liens, Indebtedness or encumbrances upon or payable from Gross Revenues, including but not limited to Senior Bonds, Parity Indebtedness and Subordinate Bonds, calculated at the end of each Fiscal Year, based upon Audited Financial Statements of the Guarantor;
amending the definition of “Senior Parity Coverage Requirement” to mean a Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio equal to at least 125% for such Fiscal Year, calculated at the end of each Fiscal Year, based upon Audited Financial Statements of the Guarantor (Senior Debt Service Coverage Ratio means for any given period of time, the ratio of (a) Net Income Available for Debt Service to (b) the total of Maximum Annual Debt Service of the Senior Bonds and any Senior Parity Indebtedness, all as determined in accordance with GAAP.);
amending the “Days Cash on Hand Requirement” to mean not less than 60 Days Cash on Hand for such Fiscal Year, to be tested commencing with the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2026, and annually thereafter;
requiring PCO to produce sufficient annual Gross Revenues in order to meet the Senior Parity Coverage Requirement, the Overall Coverage Requirement, and the Days Cash on Hand Requirement for each Fiscal Year, beginning with the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2026;
providing that an event of default shall not be deemed to have occurred should PCO fail to comply with the Senior Parity Coverage Requirement, the Overall Coverage Requirement, or the Days Cash on Hand Requirement, beginning with the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2026, so long as PCO engages an Independent Consultant to make recommendations to PCO to meet those requirements and the Independent Consultant confirms that PCO has substantially complied with such recommendations; provided, however, an event of default will exist if (a) the Senior Parity Coverage Requirement ratio is less than 115% or if the Overall Coverage Requirement ratio is less than 100% for any Fiscal Year commencing with the Fiscal Year ended December 31, 2027, or (b) if PCO’s Days Cash on Hand is less than 30 Days Cash on Hand;
prohibiting PCO from making any distributions to its members prior to January 1, 2027, other than amounts due to the Company pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, by and among the Company, PCT Managed Services LLC (a subsidiary of the Company), and PCO, and then made only if, among other things, the Senior Parity Coverage Requirement, the Overall Coverage Requirement and the Days Cash on Hand Requirement are each satisfied with respect to the Fiscal Year prior to the date on which the distribution is made, and there shall remain after such distribution no less than 60 Days Cash on Hand; and
including certain other customary default provisions.

On March 31, 2025, PCT LLC and several other parties reached agreement on terms whereby certain investors purchased approximately $18.6 million in aggregate par amount of Series A Bonds owned by PCT LLC at a purchase price of $880 per $1,000 principal amount (the “March 2025 Purchased Bonds”) under a bond purchase agreement. The purchase of the March 2025 Purchased Bonds was completed and funds received by PCT LLC on or about March 31, 2025. Refer to Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for additional information.

On April 21, 2025, the Company sold $0.5 million in aggregate par amount of Series A Bonds owned by PCT LLC at a purchase price of $880 per $1,000 principal amount under a bond purchase agreement for gross proceeds of $0.4 million.

Revenue Bonds Issued to Related Party

On May 7, 2024, PCT LLC and Pure Plastic LLC ("Pure Plastic") executed a bond purchase agreement (as subsequently amended and restated to reflect the appropriate denomination of bonds, the “Amended and Restated Bond Purchase Agreement”), whereby Pure Plastic purchased approximately $94.3 million in aggregate par amount of Bonds owned by PCT LLC (the “Related Party Bonds”), including (i) a portion of the Series 2020A Bonds, (ii) all of the Series 2020B Bonds, and (iii) all of the Series 2020C Bonds, at a purchase price of $800 per $1,000 principal amount of the Related Party Bonds. Affiliates of Pure Plastic are greater than 5% beneficial owners of the Company.

On May 10, 2024, Pure Plastic executed a Payoff and Release Letter (the “Payoff and Release Letter”), which memorialized the exchange of the Company’s obligations under the $40.0 million term loan provided to the Company pursuant to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (as defined below). The Company was also 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 issued warrants (“Series B Warrants”) to Pure Plastic pursuant to the Series B Warrant Agreement to satisfy the Prepayment Premium (the “Series B Warrant Agreement”). Refer to Note 6 – Warrants for further discussion.

On May 28, 2024, PCT LLC and Pure Plastic executed the First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Bond Purchase Agreement (“First Amendment”) whereby Exhibit A to the Amended and Restated Bond Purchase Agreement was replaced with Exhibit A-3 to the First Amendment to facilitate the transfer by the Depository Trust Company of certain of the Related Party Bonds. The total amount of the Related Party Bonds and the cash due from Pure Plastic to PCT LLC remains the same. Except as summarized above and as set forth in the First Amendment, PCT LLC and Pure Plastic each acknowledged and reaffirmed the terms of the Amended and Restated Bond Purchase Agreement in the First Amendment.

In April 2025, the Company sold $11.3 million in aggregate par amount of Series A Bonds owned by PCT LLC to related parties at a purchase price of $880 per $1,000 principal amount under a bond purchase agreement for gross proceeds of $10.0 million.

Equipment Financing

CSC Leasing Co.

On May 8, 2023, the Company, through PureCycle PreP LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Master Lease Agreement (the “Master Lease Agreement”) with CSC Leasing Co. (“CSC”). Pursuant to the Master Lease Agreement, the Company and CSC agreed to enter into schedules that establish the specific terms and conditions of leasing certain equipment, machines, devices, features and any other items listed in each equipment lease schedule. The Master Lease Agreement commenced on the date set forth above and continues in

effect until the later time that it is terminated, either by CSC at the end of any lease term, or by the Company upon three months written notice prior to the expiration of a lease term.

Also on May 8, 2023, the Company, also through PureCycle PreP LLC, entered into an Equipment Procurement Agreement (the “Equipment Agreement”) with CSC. Under the terms of the Equipment Agreement, CSC has agreed to finance, acquire and/or purchase certain equipment (the “Equipment”) from third-party vendors and/or manufacturers (each, a “Vendor”), so that CSC may lease the Equipment to the Company pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Master Lease Agreement. Prior to entering into formal lease schedules under the Master Lease Agreement, the Company will lease from CSC certain Equipment pursuant to the terms of the Equipment Agreement.

In connection with the above, CSC has funded $20.3 million for purposes of procuring equipment from a Vendor, which had previously been ordered by the Company prior to entering into these agreements with CSC. CSC will lease this equipment back to the Company under a 36-month lease, which will commence when the Company accepts delivery of the equipment at its operating location and all final bills from Vendor are paid (the “Schedule Commencement Date”). The Company has determined that it did not relinquish control of the assets to the buyer-lessor under these arrangements. Therefore, the Company has accounted for this transaction as a failed sale-leaseback transaction whereby it has continued recording these assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and also recorded a financing obligation for the consideration paid by the buyer-lessor. The Company currently expects the lease term to commence in 2026, and the repayment schedule below assumes payments under the 36-month term commence on July 1, 2026.

The Company is required to make monthly payments under the agreements during the period between funding of the construction obligation and delivery of the equipment, which began in June 2023. Payments are equal to a monthly lease rate factor of approximately 3.1% of the outstanding amount funded by CSC. The Company has previously determined that these payments represent a cost of borrowing under the financing arrangement and has historically recorded the payments as interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income/(Loss). On September 4, 2024, the Company and CSC entered into a Rider to Supplement to the Master Lease Agreement, which allows the Company to credit fifty percent of payments made from November 1, 2023, through the earlier of the Schedule Commencement Date or November 1, 2025 against the outstanding principal owed (“CSC Principal Credit”). The Company is currently paying $0.6 million in Accumulating Rent (as defined in the Equipment Agreement) per month and has made total payments of $13.3 million as of March 31, 2025, of which it will receive $5.0 million credit toward the principal owed. The CSC Principal Credit shall be applied in thirty-six equal monthly installments against the basic rental amount owed in accordance with the lease schedules. The Company did not recognize any gain or loss in connection with the restructuring. The Company began amortizing the principal balance beginning with the date of the amendment.

Varilease Finance, Inc.

On July 12, 2024, PCT entered into an equipment financing arrangement with Varilease Finance, Inc. ("VFI") pursuant to a master lease agreement dated June 24, 2024, and have received total adjusted funding of $7.2 million. The 24-month rental term commenced on January 1, 2025, the date in which the final equipment inspection was determined to be complete.

Sylebra Credit Facility

On March 15, 2023, PCT entered into the $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") dated as of March 15, 2023, with PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and PCT LLC (the “Guarantors”), Sylebra Capital Partners Master Fund, LTD, Sylebra Capital Parc Master Fund, and Sylebra Capital Menlo Master Fund (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Madison Pacific Trust Limited (the

“Administrative Agent” and “Security Agent”). The Lenders and their affiliates are greater than 5% beneficial owners of PCT.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect for such period plus an applicable margin. The applicable margin is equal to (i) 5.00% from the Closing Date through June 30, 2023, (ii) 10.00% from July 1, 2023 through September 30, 2023, (iii) 12.50% from October 1, 2023 through December 31, 2023, (iv) 15.00% from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2024, and (v) 17.50% thereafter. PCT is also required to pay (i) an up-front fee equal to 0.75% times $150.0 million - the total aggregate commitment for the Revolving Credit Facility - to the Lenders, payable at closing and (ii) a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum based on the actual daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly. Subject to timely prior written notice and payment of breakage fees, if any, PCT may at any time and from time to time (i) terminate all or any portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement and/or (ii) prepay all or any portion of any outstanding borrowings.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (b) default of specific covenants; (c) breach of representations and warranties; (d) cross-defaults to other indebtedness in an amount greater than $1.0 million, subject to certain exceptions; (e) bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; (f) inability to pay debts or attachment; (g) judgments; and (h) change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.

Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of PCT. Any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of PCT formed after the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility will also be required to guaranty the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and grant security interests in substantially all of their respective assets.

On May 8, 2023, the Company entered into the First Amendment to Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, PureCycle Technologies, LLC and PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp., as Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Madison Pacific Trust Limited, as administrative agent and as security agent (the “Sylebra Amendment”) in connection with the Company’s $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility governed by the Revolving Credit Agreement. The Sylebra Amendment, among other things: (i) permits the Company’s entry into the Term Loan Facility (as defined below), (ii) provides for a new basket under the Revolving Credit Agreement’s indebtedness negative covenant allowing for offerings of unsecured convertible promissory notes of up to $200.0 million, (iii) provides for new baskets under the Revolving Credit Agreement’s indebtedness and lien negative covenants of up to $90.0 million in additional equipment financings and (iv) exempts the proceeds of any such convertible notes offerings from the requirement for mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Credit Agreement.

On August 4, 2023, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, as borrower, PureCycle Technologies, LLC and PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp., as Guarantors, the lenders party thereto, and Madison Pacific Trust Limited, as administrative agent and as security agent (the “Second Amendment”), in connection with the Company’s $150.0 million Revolving Credit Facility governed by the Revolving Credit Agreement, to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility to March 31, 2025.

On August 21, 2023, the Company further amended the Revolving Credit Agreement to (i) increase the amount available to the Company under the indebtedness covenant basket for offerings of unsecured convertible notes

Green Convertible Notes

On August 21, 2023, the Company priced its private offering of $215.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Initial Notes”). On August 22, 2023, the initial purchaser in such offering exercised its option to purchase an additional $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (together with the “Initial Notes”, the “Green Convertible Notes”), bringing the total aggregate principal amount of the Green Convertible Notes to $250.0 million. Entities affiliated with a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company purchased $50.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Green Convertible Notes. Refer to Note 11 - Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.

On August 24, 2023, the Company completed the private offering of the Green Convertible Notes. Each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes was issued at a price of $900. An amount equal to the difference between the issue price and the principal amount at maturity will accrete from the original issue date through August 15, 2027. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.

The net proceeds from this offering, excluding any offering expenses, were approximately $218.5 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and fees paid to our financial advisor. The Company intends to allocate an amount equal to the net proceeds from this offering to the financing and refinancing of recently completed and future Eligible Green Projects (as defined below) in the United States. In particular, the Company intends to allocate the net proceeds from this offering (1) to make payments on certain long-lead items (2) to fund initial inside and outside battery limits engineering design work, all of which are associated with a multi-line purification facility to be built in Augusta, Georgia, (3) for certain feedstock preparation (“PreP”) equipment and (4) to a research and development lab. Pending such allocation, the Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.

The Company has allocated $218.5 million of the proceeds to Eligible Green Projects, which includes historical spend from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024, related to the Augusta Facility, as well as the PreP facilities in process that will provide feedstock for both the Augusta Facility and also the Ironton facility. No further funds remain available to allocate. The Company continually evaluates future project economics after considering and incorporating learnings from the commissioning of the Ironton Facility. The Company may determine in the future, consistent with our definition of Eligible Green Projects and in support of the circular economy, that certain equipment previously purchased for use at the Augusta Facility may provide better returns on invested capital at other locations, including those locations outside the United States. The Company is also evaluating a re-designed Augusta Facility that would not significantly impact the preliminary construction timeline and could ultimately determine that the previously purchased equipment will continue to be commissioned in Augusta.

“Eligible Green Projects” means: investments in (i) acquisitions of buildings; (ii) building developments or redevelopments; (iii) renovations in existing buildings; and (iv) tenant improvement projects, in each case, that have received, or are expected to receive, in the three years prior to the issuance of the Notes or during the term of the Notes, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver, Gold or Platinum certification (or environmentally equivalent successor standards). Prior to issuing the Notes and as part of its overall business plan, the Company has focused on the value of the sustainability opportunities PureFive™ resin offers to support expanding a circular economy. To pursue those opportunities, the Company purchased equipment and commissioned design services for the Augusta Facility and PreP facilities that will enable the Company to advance circular economy adapted products, production technologies and processes, and/or research and development related to recycling waste polypropylene. We believe those legacy purchases and designs should complement the Company’s Eligible Green Projects development.

The Augusta Facility is currently in the front-end engineering and design validation phase and is incorporating the operational optimization and efficiency opportunities identified during the Ironton Facility commissioning. The Company identified “Building Design and Construction” as the appropriate LEED rating system for the Augusta

Facility project though the Company believes it is premature to register the Augusta Facility project with the LEED on-line platform at this time.

In connection with the issuance of the Green Convertible Notes, the Company entered into an Indenture, dated August 24, 2023 (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The events of default, as set forth in the Indenture and subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods, include customary events including a default in the payment of principal or interest, failure to comply with the obligation to deliver amounts due upon conversion, failure to give certain notices, failure to comply with the obligations in respect of certain merger transactions, defaults under certain other indebtedness and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.

The Green Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Green Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum on the principal amount at maturity from August 24, 2023, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2024.

Holders of the Green Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of the Green Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate will initially be 67.4764 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.82 per share of common stock), which represents a conversion premium of approximately 50% to the $9.88 per share closing price of the Company’s common stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 21, 2023. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events described in the Indenture that occur prior to August 15, 2027, or upon the issuance of a notice of redemption (as described below) prior to August 15, 2027 for an optional redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or elects to convert its notes called (or deemed called) for optional redemption during the related redemption period.

Holders of the Green Convertible Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Green Convertible Notes on August 15, 2027 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount at maturity of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, August 15, 2027. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.

The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to August 20, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain exceptions and restrictions specified in the Indenture), at its option, on or after August 20, 2025 and on or before the 40th scheduled trading day immediately before the Maturity Date, at a cash redemption price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, but only if the last reported sale price per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes. The fair value of the Green Convertible Notes is included in the Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy as they were derived using significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 11- Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.
