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 willwere 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 will bewere 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$18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading30-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 also 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”,PCT,” “ROCH” and “ParentCo” refer to PureCycle Technologies LLC, ROCH and ParentCo, respectively, prior to the Closing.

Private Placement Offering
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. The Company received approximately $250.0 million in gross proceeds from the 2022

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 Securities and Exchange Commission (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 nine months ended September 30, 2023 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2023. 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.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the report classifications of the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

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 recently beganhas begun limited commercial

operations but does not yet have any significant sources of revenue. Revenue generation is expected later in 2023. The following is a summary of the components of our current liquidity (in thousands):

As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, PCT had $211.4$25.0 million of Cash and Cash Equivalents, Debt Securities Available Unrestricted Liquidity. On March 15, 2023,for Sale of $2.2 million, and Restricted Cash of $14.9 million.

Due to intermittent mechanical challenges during the Revolving Credit Agreement maycommissioning 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 used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. There are currently no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

fully operational later in 2024.

As of September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, PCT anticipates that up to $12.5$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.

As further described in Note 3 – Notes Payable and Debt Instruments, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to achieve certain Milestones set forth in the Limited Waiver in connection with the Ironton Facility (terms used as defined below). As of September 30, 2023, the Ironton Facility failed to meet one such Milestone related to certain targeted production and performance targets, specifically, it failed to produce 4.45 million pounds of pellets from its feedstock in a single month by that date (“September Milestone”). This created a Specified Event of Default under the Limited Waiver (the “September Milestone Event of Default”).
On November 8, 2023, the Limited Waiver parties entered into a Limited Waiver and Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Limited Waiver”) pursuant to which the September Milestone Event of Default was waived, various Milestones were amended and extended and certain additional requirements were imposed upon PCT and its subsidiaries (as described further in Note 3 – Notes Payable and Debt Instruments). These additional requirements include depositing $50 million of additional collateral to the Trustee Account, which was paid on November 8, 2023.
PCT also has other capital commitments of approximately $24.6$47.1 million related to long-lead equipment and pre-construction work for the Augusta Facility, and $21.3$17.0 million for equipment and leases related to future Feed PreP and purification facilities. Therefacilities, both in the U.S. and internationally. Moreover, there are alsointerest payments of at least $18.5 million, as well as other ongoing monthly costs associated with managing the company, paying debt service obligations,Company and preparingpossible draws on the Ironton FacilityRevolving 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 revenue generation.one year from the date the

(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 Liquidity, including the unused Revolving Credit Facility may beunrestricted liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations, fund outstanding commitments, and outstanding commitments. However, given the September Milestone Event of Default under the Limited Waiver, and lack of revenue to date, there isfurther 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 condensed consolidated interim 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 substantial doubt,these conditions, including adjustment of expenditure timing and execution of the plant becoming commercially viable and revenue generating later in 2023,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 pre-revenuelow-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 Available Unrestricted LiquidityCash 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 or revenue generation, 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.

As conditions for closing of the Revenue Bonds, Legacy PCT contributed $60.0 million14

 in equity at closing and PureCycle and certain affiliates contributed an additional $40.0 million in equity upon the closing of the Business Combination. PureCycle provided the Liquidity Reserve for construction of the Ironton Facility of $50.0 million and deposited that amount upon the closing of the Business Combination. In addition, PureCycle must maintain $100.0 million of cash on its balance sheet as of January 31, 2022, including the Liquidity Reserve. The Company met these requirements and continues to maintain that cash balance at September 30, 2023.

The Revenue Bonds are recorded within Long-term debt in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. The Company incurred $4.9 million and $4.8 million of interest cost during each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $14.6 million and $14.5 million of interest cost during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively. As the Revenue Bond proceeds are being used to construct the Company’s property, plant and equipment, the interest costs related to the tax-exempt portion of the Revenue Bonds have been capitalized within property, plant and equipment until the construction was complete in June 2023. The Company capitalized $0 and $4.2 million of interest cost during each of the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $7.1 million and $12.8 million of interest cost during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022. As of September 30, 2023 the fair value of the Revenue Bonds was $169.4 million, which was determined using inputs characteristic of a Level 2 fair value measurement. Although the Company has determined the estimated fair value using available market information and commonly accepted valuation methodologies, considerable judgement is required in interpreting the information and in developing the estimated fair value. Therefore, this estimate is not necessarily indicative of the amounts that the Company, or holders of the instruments, could realize in a current market exchange.
In connection with its obligations under that certain Security Agreement dated as of October 7, 2020, between PCO, as debtor, and the Trustee, as secured party, entered into when the Revenue Bonds were issued (the “Security Agreement”), PCO must deliver consent and agreements (“Consents”) to the Trustee with respect to each agreement entered into in connection with the Project, each of which agreements is required under the Loan

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, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 $19.8 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 1) the Company accepts delivery of the equipment at its operating location and 2) all final bills from Vendor are paid. 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 sheet and also recorded a financing obligation for the consideration paid by the buyer-lessor. The Company currently expects the lease term to commence in late second quarter of 2024, and the repayment schedule below assumes payments under the 36 month term commence on June 1, 2024.
The Company is also 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 and are equal to a monthly lease rate factor of approximately 3.1% of the outstanding amount funded by CSC (the “Lease Rate Factor”). The

Company has determined that these payments represent a cost of borrowing under the financing arrangement and has recorded the payments as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Company incurred $1.9 million and $2.7 million of interest related to these obligations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Lease Rate Factor is indexed to the WSJ Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal and may be increased for every five basis point change in the index prior to final commencement of the 36 month lease term. Upon commencement of the 36 month lease term, the payments will be characterized as repayment of debt, and the expected coupon rate for the 36 month term is 7.25% based on the WSJ Prime Rate published as of September 30, 2023.
The Master Lease Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Master Lease 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) discontinuation of authorized electronic payments without CSC’s consent; (e) failure to furnish proof of insurance; (f) bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; and (g) any unauthorized conveyance or transfer of the Equipment to a third party. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, CSC may accelerate all unpaid rents and exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Master Lease Agreement and Equipment Agreement. Amounts due under the lease are guaranteed by PCT.
Other Equipment Financing
The Company has executed other equipment sale leasebacks which qualify as financing arrangements, with a total of $2.1 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023.

In connection with the issuance

of the 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 Notes will mature on August 15, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The 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.

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.

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”,PSUs,” together with the Performance PSUs, the “PSUs”).

The Company issued 0.4 million and 1.0 million PSUs for the ninethree months ended September 30, 2023, and 2022, respectively.March 31, 2024. As of September 30, 2023,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 is recognized 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.

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$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$18.00 per share for any 20-trading20-trading days within a 30-trading30-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 September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and 2022. The Company recognized $0.7 million and $0.3 million of benefit related to the private warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0 of expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.2023.

Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of shares of Common Stock.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$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$18.00 per share for any 20-trading20-trading days within a 30-trading30-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.

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%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 September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, there were approximately 17.9 million Series A Warrants outstanding. The Company recognized $44.1 million and $15.9 million of benefit related to the Series A Warrants for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, respectively, and $13.4 million and $16.8 million of expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively.

NOTE 86 – NET INCOME (LOSS)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 10 – DEVELOPMENT PARTNER ARRANGEMENTS

License Agreements
On October 16, 2015, Legacy PCT entered into a patent license agreement with P&G (the “Original Patent License Agreement”). Legacy PCT and P&G entered into an Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement on July 28, 2020 (the “Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement”). PCT and P&G entered into a side letter agreement on February 12, 2021 amending certain provisions of the Amended and Restated License Agreement (the “Side Letter Agreement” and, together with the Original Patent License Agreement and the Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement, the “License Agreement”). The License Agreement outlines three phases with specific deliverables for each phase. During Phase 1 of the License Agreement, P&G provided Legacy PCT with up to one full-time employee to assist in the execution of Legacy PCT’s research and development activities. During Phase 2, P&G provided up to two full-time employees to assist in the execution of Legacy PCT’s research and development activities. In April 2019, Legacy PCT elected to enter into Phase 3 of the License Agreement and prepaid a royalty payment in the amount of $2.0 million, which will be reduced against future royalties payable as sales occur. Phase 3 of the License Agreement relates to the commercial manufacture period for the manufacture of the licensed product. This phase includes the construction of the first commercial plant for the manufacture of the licensed product, details on the commercial sales capacity and the pricing of the licensed product to P&G and to third parties. Where the Company has made royalty payments to its product development partners, the Company expenses such payments as incurred unless it has determined that is it probable that such prepaid royalties have future economic benefit to the Company. In such cases prepaid royalties will be reduced as royalties would otherwise be due to the partners.
Effective April 1, 2023, the Company and P&G executed a Second Side Letter, dated March 27, 2023, amending the date by which commercial sales must be maintained at 70% of nameplate capacity under Section 4.4 of the License Agreement from April 15, 2023 to December 31, 2024.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company is in Phase 3 of the License Agreement and has recorded $2.0 million within prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
On November 13, 2019, Legacy PCT entered into a patent sublicense agreement with Impact Recycling Limited (“Impact”) through the term of the patents. The agreement outlines an initial license fee of $2.5 million and royalties on production using the license. In 2020, Legacy PCT paid $0.9 million of the initial license fee, and during the year ended December 31, 2021, the Company paid the remaining $1.6 million of the initial fee. The initial license fee of $2.5 million is recorded in prepaid expenses and other non-current assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and will be ratably amortized over the term of the underlying patent using the straight-line method. In May

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
2021, the Company began using the technology covered by the Impact agreement and commenced amortization as of this date.
Block and Release Agreement
On June 23, 2020, Legacy PCT entered into a block and release agreement with Total Petrochemicals & Refining S.A./N.V. (“Total”). Upon execution of the agreement, Total made a prepayment consisting of a payment of $5.0 million for future receipt of resin consisting of recycled polypropylene. The prepayment was placed in an escrow account until the “release condition” of the Company closing the bond offering and overall capital funding of at least $370.0 million has occurred. After the Company successfully raised the required capital, the $5.0 million was released to the Company in 2021 and recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
Strategic Alliance Agreement
On December 13, 2018, Legacy PCT entered into a strategic alliance agreement with Nestle Ltd. (“Nestle”), which expires on December 31, 2023. Upon execution of the agreement, Nestle committed to provide $1.0 million to fund further research and development efforts. The funding provided by Nestle may be convertible, in whole or in part, into a prepaid product purchase arrangement at Nestle’s option, upon the time of product delivery beginning in 2022. Additionally, because the research and development efforts were not successful as of December 31, 2020, up to 50% of the funding may be convertible into a 5-year term loan obligation, payable to Nestle at an interest rate equivalent to the U.S. prime rate. As of the issuance of these statements, Nestle has not elected to convert any funding into a term loan.
PCT received the funding from Nestle on January 8 2019. The Company has recorded $1.0 million as a deferred research and development obligation within other non-current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. Recognition related to the funding received will be deferred until it is probable that Nestle will not exercise their option. If the prepaid product purchase option is exercised, the obligation will be recognized as an adjustment to the transaction price of future product sales (e.g., net revenue presentation). If the option is not exercised, or in the case of development efforts not being successful, any amounts not converted to a loan obligation will be recognized as a reduction to research and development costs.
NOTE 11 - 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 September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, the Company has reported tax expense of $0$0 and $0,$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 129 – 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.

32

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
(Unaudited)

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

24


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 September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, 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):

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 $0.5$0.4 million and $0.8$0.3 million on September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2022,2023, 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:

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. For September 30, 2023, theThe expected volatility was calculated based on the specific volatility of PCT’s publicly-traded common stock. For December 31, 2022, 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 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$15.0 million.

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. The Series A Warrants were initially valued at $43.9 million upon closing of the 2022 PIPE Offering.

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 1310 - 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 129 – Fair Value of Financial Instruments for information related to the fair value measurements and valuation methods utilized.

Debt securities as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 had an average remaining maturity of 0.30.25 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 ninethree months ended September 30,March 31, 2024 and 2023, and 2022, the Company did notnot 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 1411 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Financial Assurance

On March 14, 2023,2024, PCT securedrenewed a surety bond in the amount of $25.0$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)year). PCT may issue additional surety bonds in the future to provide financial assurance regarding performance under contracts with other parties.

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 September 30, 2023.

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 “Theodore“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 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.

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.

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 Suit"Lawsuit"). The Han Derivative Suit generally alleges that the Individual Han Defendants made materially false and misleading statements in press releases, webinars and other public filings regarding the Technology, PCT’s business, PCT’s prospects, and the background and experience of the Individual Han Defendants. The Han Derivative Suit seeks unspecified monetary damages, reform of the company's corporate governance and internal procedures, unspecified restitution from the Individual Han Defendants, and costs and fees associated with bringing the action. On January 19, 2022, the court in the Han Derivative Suit granted the parties’ joint stipulation to stay the Han Derivative SuitLawsuit and administratively closed the matter pending the disposition of the motions to dismiss in the Class Action Lawsuits.

Should the Han Derivative Suit be reopened in the future, the Individual Han Defendants intend to vigorously defend against the Han Derivative Suit. 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 Han Derivative Suit.

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 AyersConsolidated Derivative Suit.Litigation and the Brunson Derivative Lawsuit.

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$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$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.

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.

We are currently unable to predict the outcome of this matter.

NOTE 15 - LEASES
Under ASC Topic 842, a lease is a contract, or part of a contract, that conveys the right to control the use of identified property, plant or equipment (i.e., an identified asset) for a period of time in exchange for consideration. The Company’s contracts determined to be, or contain, a lease include explicitly or implicitly identified assets where the Company has the right to substantially all of the economic benefits of the assets and has the ability to direct how and for what purpose the assets are used during the lease term. Leases are classified as either operating or financing. For operating leases, the Company has recognized a lease liability equal to the present value of the remaining lease payments, and a right of use asset equal to the lease liability, subject to certain adjustments, such as for prepaid rents. The Company used its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments. The Company’s incremental borrowing rate is the rate of interest that it would be charged to borrow, on a collateralized basis, over a similar term, an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. The Company determined the incremental borrowing rates for its leases by applying its applicable borrowing rate, with adjustment as appropriate for lease currency and lease term.
The Company enters into contracts to lease real estate, equipment and vehicles. The Company’s most individually significant lease liability relates to a real estate lease with an initial contract lease term of 30 years. The Company’s most significant lease liabilities in aggregate value relate to real estate leases that have initial contract lease terms ranging from 1 to 30 years. Certain leases include renewal, termination or purchase options that were not deemed reasonably assured of exercise under ASC 840. Under ASC Topic 842, the lease term at the lease commencement date is determined based on the non-cancellable period for which the Company has the right to use the underlying asset, together with any periods covered by an option to extend the lease if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, periods covered by an option to terminate the lease if the Company is reasonably certain not to exercise that option, and periods covered by an option to extend (or not to terminate) the lease in which the exercise of the option is controlled by the lessor. The Company considered a number of factors when evaluating whether the options in its lease contracts were reasonably certain of exercise, such as length of time before option exercise, expected value of the leased asset at the end of the initial lease term, importance of the lease to overall operations, costs to negotiate a new lease, and any contractual or economic penalties.
Operating leases result in a straight-line lease expense, while finance leases result in a front-loaded expense pattern. The assets associated with financing leases have been included in property, plant and equipment in the condensed consolidated balance sheet. Depreciation on financing lease assets is included in operating costs on the condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive income (loss). The Company does not sublease any of its material leased assets to third parties and the Company is not party to any lease contracts with related parties. The Company’s lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or restrictive covenants.
ASC Topic 842 includes practical expedient and policy election choices. The Company elected the package of practical expedients available in the standard and, as a result, did not reassess the lease classification of existing leases, did not reassess whether existing contracts are or contain leases and did not reassess the initial direct costs associated with existing leases. The Company did not elect the hindsight practical expedient, and so did not re-evaluate lease term for existing leases.
39

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
NOTES TO THE INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — CONTINUED
(Unaudited)
The Company has made an accounting policy election not to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities for leases with a lease term of 12 months or less, including renewal options that are reasonably certain to be exercised, that also do not include an option to purchase the underlying asset that is reasonably certain of exercise. Instead, lease payments for these leases are recognized as lease cost on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
ASC Topic 842 includes a number of reassessment and re-measurement requirements for lessees based on certain triggering events or conditions, including whether a contract is or contains a lease, assessment of lease term and purchase options, measurement of lease payments, assessment of lease classification and assessment of the discount rate. The Company reviewed the reassessment and re-measurement requirements and did not identify any events or conditions during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that required a reassessment or re-measurement. In addition, there were no impairment indicators identified during the quarter ended September 30, 2023 that required an impairment test for the Company’s right-of-use assets or other long-lived assets in accordance with ASC 360-10.
Certain of the Company’s leases include variable lease costs to reimburse the lessor for real estate tax and insurance expenses, and certain non-lease components that transfer a distinct service to the Company, such as common area maintenance services. The Company has elected not to separate the accounting for lease components and non-lease components, for all classes of leased assets.
On August 24, 2022, the Company signed a real estate lease for a future feedstock preprocessing facility in Denver, Pennsylvania with an initial term of 15 years and total minimum lease payments of $52.3 million. The lease is currently expected to commence in the first half of 2024.
In January 2023, the Company signed a real estate lease at the Port of Antwerp-Bruges’ NextGen District, where it plans to build its first purification facility in Europe, with an initial term of 30 years and total minimum lease payments of €27.7 million, subject to annual inflation adjustments. This lease commenced at the end of June 2023.

AEDA Sale-leaseback Transaction
On June 30, 2023, PCT entered into a series of agreements with the Development Authority of Augusta, Georgia (the “AEDA”) to construct phase one (“Phase One”) of its first U.S. multi-line facility in Augusta, Georgia. 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 conveyers 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. PCT anticipates that the first portion of Phase One will consist of one purification line, with construction expected to begin by the end of 2023. PCT is obligated to spend at least $440 million toward the construction of Phase One. Construction of the first purification line must be completed by December 31, 2026, but PCT expects that it will be completed sooner. Through September 30, 2023, PCT has invested approximately $77 million for pre-construction engineering and long-lead equipment for the benefit of Phase One investments.
The legal sale-leaseback structure provides local property tax incentives 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.

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”,“we,” “us,” “our,” and “the Company” are intended to mean the business and operations of PCT and its consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

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.

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 the second quarter of 2023; hasApril 2023, achieved mechanical completion of the plant and commenced initialpellet production from post-industrial recycled pellet production. On June 28, 2023, the independent construction monitor reviewing construction and commissioning of the Ironton Facility issued its certification confirming commencement of production of post-industrial recycled pellets, which was required to achieve a key milestonepost-consumer materials later in connection with the Ironton Facility financing.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 expects to begin producing and selling itssold an immaterial amount of UPR resin in 2023, with full Ironton Facility production capacity achieved in 2024.

Duringthrough the Ironton Facility’s construction phase,first quarter of 2024 but has not yet reached meaningful volumes and on-spec product. PCT has experienced intermittent mechanical challenges during the Company incurred certain expenses that werecommissioning process including, but not includedlimited to, limits in the original core project scope finalized in late 2020. The changes and additions torates at which certain contaminants can currently be removed from the original scope included investments to enhance safety, operational reliability, purification flexibility in processing different types of feedstocks, and digital automation. We believe these changes will enable the facility to (i) process, higher levels of solids and contaminants, (ii) be “Born Digital,” and (iii) include enhanced safety measures. More specifically, the additional costs are a result of, among other things, the purchase of additional purification equipment; IT infrastructure, hardware, and software; as well as inflation and supply chainchallenges with continuous operations of the pelletizing system for finished product. While these mechanical issues caused by COVID-19. are not uncommon for

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.

As of September 30, 2023,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. The final investment for the Ironton Facility was approximately $360 million, exclusive of this performance guarantee payment.

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 September 30, 2023,March 31, 2024, PCT has invested approximately $77$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 conveyersconveyors 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 withand construction expectedcommenced prior to begin by the end of 2023. Also as noted above, construction of the first purification line must be completed by December 31, 2026, but PCT expects that it will be completed sooner.

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 commencealso show continuous construction activitiesprogress, with regard to the first purification line under the first phase of the Augusta Project no later than December 31, 2023during 2024 or risk losing certain future Incentive Benefits. Market conditions

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 ourthe 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. PCT expects to begin construction of the Augusta facility before the end of 2023 and, as noted above, failing to do so would result in the loss of certain Incentive Benefits.

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 IHS Markit Index,Chemical Market Analysis, the index for virgin polypropylene, in a price schedule that contained a fixed, collared price around an index price range, which

44

PureCycle Technologies, Inc.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS — CONTINUED
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, to obtain these permits, as well as potentialincluding legal requirements and remedies with regard to its obligations for the remaining 98 years of its 11-year lease agreement for the Central Florida facility. PCT is also evaluating alternative preprocessing sites in Central Florida.other locations. Also, on August 24, 2022, PCT signed a lease for a future PreP facility in Denver, Pennsylvania, which is expected to be operationaloperationally ready in the first half of 2024, provided we obtain the financing necessary for operational readiness.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.

37


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 completioncommencement of construction activities currently expected in 2025, pending necessary financing. On January 17, 2023, the Company announced its first European purification facility will be located in Antwerp, Belgium. The Company is

Components of Results of Operations

Revenue

To date, we have

PCT generated an immaterial amount of revenue through the first quarter of 2024 but has not generated any operating revenue. We expect to begin to generate revenue later in 2023 when we expectyet reached (i) significant continuous operational volumes at the Ironton Facility or (ii) significant revenue generation. The Ironton Facility is expected to become commercially operational.

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.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

To date,

During 2023 and through March 31, 2024, PCT commenced commercial operations and sold an immaterial amount of UPR resin but has not generated any operating revenue. PCT expects to begin to generate revenue in 2023 from our commercial plant in Ironton. Ouryet 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. Additionally, in Marchfinancing through the issuance of 2022, PCT consummated an offering pursuant to which PCT sold to certain investors, in a private placement, an aggregate of 35.7 million shares of our common stock and warrants to purchase an aggregate of 17.9 million shares of our common stock (the “Series A Warrants”), at a price of $7.00 per Common Stock and one-half of one Series A Warrants, for gross proceeds of approximately $250.0 million (the “2022 PIPE Offering”). PCT incurred approximately $0.8 million of expenses primarily related to advisory fees in conjunction with the 2022 PIPE Offering. On March 15, 2023, PCT entered into the Revolving Credit Facility (as defined and described below), and in May of 2023, PCT entered into the Term Loan Facility (as defined and described below), as well as the Master Lease Agreement and Equipment Procurement Agreement (as defined and described below), which provided additional unrestricted liquidity.Further, in August 2023, PCT priced the Green Convertible Notes for an aggregate gross principal amount of $250.0 million (as described below).

As of September 30, 2023,$14.9 million. PCT had $211.4 million of Available Unrestricted Liquidity. On March 15, 2023, PCT entered intoalso has a $150.0$200.0 million revolving credit facility with Sylebra Capital (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Borrowings under 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 Revolving Credit Agreement maycommissioning 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 used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes. There are currently no borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility.

fully operational later in 2024.

As of September 30, 2023,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.

As further described in 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, the Company and its subsidiaries agreed to achieve certain Milestones set forth in the Limited Waiver in connection with the Ironton Facility (terms used as defined below). As of September 30, 2023, the Ironton Facility failed to meet one such Milestone related to certain targeted production and performance targets, specifically, it failed to produce 4.45 million pounds of pellets from its feedstock in a single month by that date (“September Milestone”). This created a Specified Event of Default under the Limited Waiver (the “September Milestone Event of Default”).
On November 8, 2023, the Limited Waiver parties entered into a Limited Waiver and Second Supplemental Indenture (the “Second Limited Waiver”) pursuant to which the September Milestone Event of Default was waived, various Milestones were amended and extended and certain additional requirements were imposed upon PCT and its subsidiaries (as described further in 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). These additional requirements include depositing $50 million of additional collateral to the Trustee Account, which was paid on November 8, 2023.
PCT also has other capital commitments of approximately $24.6$47.1 million related to long-lead equipment and pre-construction work for the Augusta Facility and $21.3$17.0 million for equipment and leases related to future Feed PreP

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 revenue generation.

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 Liquidity, including the unused Revolving Credit Facility may beunrestricted liquidity is not sufficient to fund operations, outstanding commitments, and outstanding commitments. However, given the September Milestone Event of Default, and lack of revenue to date, there isfurther 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 condensed consolidated interim 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 substantial doubt, these conditions,

including adjustment of expenditure timing and execution of the plant becoming commercially viable and revenue generating later in 2023,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 pre-revenuelow-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 itsour 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 or revenue generation, 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.

Other than the surety bond discussed in the Financial Assurance section below,

PCT has no material 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.

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.

Under the terms of the Loan Agreement, PCO was required to cause the Ironton Facility to be completed by December 1, 2022. The Ironton Facility was not completed by that date due to a variety of challenges resulting from, among other things, the COVID-19 outbreak, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and certain U.S. weather-related events (the “Specified Event of Default”).
Subject to the following conditions, the Specified Event of Default was waived in exchange for PCO’s agreement to meet certain milestones toward completing the Ironton Facility, to deposit additional equity aggregating approximately $87.3 million with the Trustee for various purposes and to make certain other representations and warranties; provided, however, that any failure to comply with the terms of the Limited Waiver would be an immediate Event of Default under the Indenture and Loan Agreement, which will be deemed to have occurred on January 2, 2023 with respect to any requirements to pay accrued and unpaid interest at the Default Rate (as defined in the Indenture).

PCO has agreed to, among other things, achieve the following milestones (together, the “Milestones”

May 11, 2021, and effective as of October 7, 2020 (the “Guaranty”): (i) closure, by it or its direct or indirect parent entity of a financing transaction by March 31, 2023 that provides at least $150.0 million of working capital which may be used to support the Ironton Facility (which milestone was satisfied by the closing of the Revolving Credit Facility); (ii) mechanical completion of the Ironton Facility by June 30, 2023 (which milestone was satisfied on April 25, 2023); (iii) meet certain targeted production and performance targets during 2023; (iv) completion of the Ironton Facility by December 31, 2023; and (v) meet certain Ironton Facility pellet production targets by January 31, 2024 up to the Ironton Facility’s nameplate production capacity of 107 million pounds per year.

The additional approximately $87.3 million of equity deposited withinstructing the Trustee is comprised of: (i) a deposit of $50 million in an account controlled by the Trustee; (ii) a deposit of approximately $25 million in the Equity Account of the Project Fund (as such terms are used in the Indenture) to fund remaining construction costs; (iii) an aggregate deposit of approximately $12.3 million into the Capitalized Interest Accounts (as defined in the Indenture) for the Series 2020A Bonds, Series 2020B Bonds and Series 2020C Bonds to pay capitalized interest on the Revenue Bonds through June 30, 2024. The Limited Waiver also requires that the Liquidity Reserve of approximately $50 million remain in the Liquidity Reserve Escrow Fund (as defined in the Indenture) for a period beyond the completion date of the Ironton Facility until certain production requirements have been met, and only thereafter may the balance in that fund be reduced based on certain conditions to $25 million, which must remain therein as long as Series 2020A Bonds remain outstanding. The $50 million deposit described above, along with the $50 million remaining in the Liquidity Reserve Escrow Fund, may satisfy the minimum cash requirement of the ARG of $100 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, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, 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 $19.8 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 1) the Company accepts delivery of the equipment at its operating location and 2) all final bills from Vendor are paid. 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 sheet and also recorded a financing obligation for the consideration paid by the buyer-lessor. The Company currently expects the lease term to commence late in second quarter of 2024, and the repayment schedule below assumes payments under the 36 month term commence on June 1, 2024.
The Company is also 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 and are equal to a monthly lease rate factor of approximately 3.1% of the outstanding amount funded by CSC (the “Lease Rate Factor”). The Company has determined that these payments represent a cost of borrowing under the financing arrangement and has recorded the payments as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The Company incurred $1.9 million and $2.7 million of interest related to these obligations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. The Lease Rate Factor is indexed to the WSJ Prime Rate as published by the Wall Street Journal and may be increased for every five basis point change in the index prior to final commencement of the 36 month lease term. Upon commencement of the 36 month lease term, the payments will be characterized as repayment of debt, and the expected coupon rate for the 36 month term is 7.25% based on the WSJ Prime Rate published as of September 30, 2023.
The Master Lease Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactionsfiling of this nature. Events of default in the Master Lease 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) discontinuation of authorized electronic payments without CSC’s consent; (e)

failure to furnish proof of insurance; (f) bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; and (g) any unauthorized conveyance or transfer of the Equipment to a third party. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, CSC may accelerate all unpaid rents and exercise all rights and remedies available to it under the Master Lease Agreement and Equipment Agreement. Amounts due under the lease are guaranteed by PCT.
Other Equipment Financing
PCT has executed other equipment sale leasebacks which qualify as financing arrangements, with a total of $ 2.1 million outstanding as of September 30, 2023.
Sylebra Credit Facility

On March 15, 2023, PCT entered into a $150 million Revolvingrevolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit FacilityFacility”) pursuant to a Credit Agreement (the(as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”) dated as of March 15, 2023, with PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and PureCycle Technologies, 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”), which matures on March 31, 2025 (as further described in the Second Amendment (as defined below) and “Security Agent”). The Lenders and their affiliates are greater than 5% beneficial owners of PCT.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement may be used for working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes and satisfies the financing obligation imposed upon PCT by the Limited Waiver.
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

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 Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their 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.

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.

Information about market risks as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 does not differ materially from that included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

PCT’s management, with the participation of its principal executive and financial officers, has evaluated the effectiveness of its disclosure controls and procedures in ensuring that the information required to be disclosed in reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, including ensuring that such information is accumulated and communicated to management (including the principal executive and financial officers) as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on such evaluation, PCT’s principal executive and financial officers have concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2023March 31, 2024 (the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q), due to material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting, as further described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and summarized below:

.

PCT did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) controls for certain information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically with respect to user access, to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that adequately restrict user access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel.

PCT’s lack of formal processes and controls resulted in an ineffective control environment, which led to an inadequate review of the financial statements and financial reporting.
Remediation Plans
PCT has commenced measures to remediate the identified material weaknesses. These measures include:
PCT has designed and begun implementing formal controls over certain IT processes (including improved internal and external resources) to aid us in limiting user access, as well as monitoring and reviewing change management over IT systems that are relevant to the financial activities of PCT.
Further, PCT has designed and implemented formal controls for preparation and review of financial statements and disclosures, including more rigorous review and evaluation of disclosure requirements that may be applicable to PCT’s reporting.
PCT will continue to take steps to remediate the material weaknesses described above and further evolve its IT and financial reporting processes, controls, and reviews. PCT will continue to assess its internal controls and procedures and take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters we identify or are brought to PCT’s attention.
PCT believes it is making progress toward achieving the effectiveness of its internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. The actions that PCT is taking are subject to ongoing senior management review, as well as audit committee oversight. PCT will not be able to conclude whether the steps being taken will fully remediate the material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting until it has completed its remediation efforts and subsequent evaluation of their effectiveness. PCT may also conclude that additional measures may be required to remediate the material weaknesses identified above, which may necessitate further action.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
PCT is taking actions to remediate the material weaknesses relating to its internal control over financial reporting, as described above. Except as otherwise described herein, there was

There have been no change in PCT’s internal control over financial reporting that occurredchanges during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that hashave materially affected, or isare reasonably likely to materially affect, PCT’s internal control over financial reporting.
