Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION
PureCycle Technologies, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries (“PCT” or the “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 PureFive™ resin, which has similar properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. PCT has a global license for the Technology from P&G. PCT’s goal is to introduce an important new product to the global polypropylene market that will assist multinational corporations in meeting their sustainability goals as well as federal and state regulations and mandates, providing consumers with polypropylene-based products that are sustainable, and reducing overall polypropylene waste in the world’s landfills and oceans.
NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. The condensed consolidated 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 ("SEC") and accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). Intercompany balances and transactions were eliminated upon consolidation. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to present a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented.
The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the information contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2025.
Reclassifications
Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation.
Restricted Cash
Cash pledged as collateral for future capital purchases and leased properties is deemed restricted and included within this definition. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent or released from restriction within twelve months is classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent or released from restriction after twelve months is classified as noncurrent on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s revenue is primarily generated from the sale of finished products or byproducts to customers. Those sales predominantly contain a single performance obligation and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product is transferred to customers, along with the title, risk of loss and rewards of ownership. Depending on the arrangement with the customer, these criteria are met either at the time the product is shipped or when the product is made available or delivered to the destination specified in the agreement with the customer. Sales revenue is recognized in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for that finished product. Amounts billed to customers related to freight are included in revenues and freight costs are included in cost of operations in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of expenses for the period presented. The Company's most significant estimates and judgments involve valuation of the Company's liability-classified warrants and the related fair value assumptions. Although these estimates are based on management’s best knowledge of current events and actions that the Company may undertake in the future, actual results may be different from these estimates.
Segment Information
Under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280, Segment Reporting, operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise where discrete financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"), in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Therefore, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, who is also the CODM, makes decisions and manages the Company's operations as a single operating segment, which encompasses integrated business activities related to the recycling of polypropylene into resins. To date, the Company has limited operations and measures performance on a consolidated basis. Management has determined that the measure of segment performance determined most in accordance with U.S. GAAP is consolidated net income or loss, as applicable. The Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss include the significant expense categories provided to the CODM on a consolidated basis, and the CODM does not review significant classifications of expenses outside of those shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Loss. The CODM primarily reviews certain operating key performance indicators ("KPIs") for evaluating performance and allocating resources.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-04 –Debt – Debt with Conversion and Other Options: Induced Conversions of Convertible Debt Instruments, which improves the relevance and consistency in application of the induced conversion guidance in Subtopic 470-20, Debt-Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Specifically, the guidance is intended to clarify how to determine whether a settlement of convertible debt (particularly cash convertible instruments) at terms that differ from the original conversion terms should be accounted for under the induced conversion or extinguishment guidance. The amendments in this update are effective for all entities for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted for all entities that have adopted the amendments in Update 2020-06. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Disaggregation Disclosures. This guidance requires more detailed disclosure about the types of expenses presented within the expense captions of the financial statements. Specifically, disclosure of purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation, and intangible asset amortization are required on both an interim and annual basis. In addition, a qualitative description of remaining amounts in relevant expense captions that have not separately been disaggregated will be required on an interim and annual basis. On an annual basis, disclosure of an entity’s definition of selling expenses and the amount of selling expenses is required. The amendments to this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.
In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09—Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures, which enhances the transparency and decision usefulness of income tax disclosures. The amendments in this update address investor requests for more transparency about income tax information through improvements to income tax disclosures primarily related to the rate reconciliation and income taxes paid information and includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The updated standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.
NOTE 3 - LIQUIDITY AND GOING CONCERN
As of August 7, 2025, the Company has concluded that the going concern conclusion as previously disclosed in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in its quarterly filing on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2025 is no longer applicable for at least the twelve-month period from the issuance date of these financial statements. In that Form 10-Q filing, the Company disclosed there were conditions that raised substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements were issued. Those conditions were alleviated by management’s plans, as outlined in that Form 10-Q filing.
The improvement in the Company's financial condition is attributable to the Company raising proceeds from the sale of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, as described below and in more detail in Note 11 –Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders’ Equity.
In June 2025, the Company entered into binding subscription agreements with certain investors, including related parties, to which the Company agreed to sell to the investors, in a private placement transaction, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an initial issue price of $1,000 per share. The gross proceeds to the Company from these subscription agreements were approximately $300.0 million before deducting fees and expenses.
This development has led management to conclude that the previous substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern for a twelve-month period following the date that these financial statements were available to be issued is no longer present. The Company's current financial projections support the Company's ability to meet its obligations as they become due for at least one year from the issuance of these financial statements. The Company’s ability to continue as a going concern longer term is dependent on continued improvement in operations at the Company's first commercial-scale recycling facility in Lawrence County, Ohio (the "Ironton Facility"), the commercialization of its PureFive TM resin product, and the successful construction and sale of product from its Thailand facility. Management continues to evaluate different strategies and may pursue additional actions to further increase its liquidity position.
NOTE 4 - RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
The Company identifies and discloses transactions with related parties in accordance with ASC 850, Related Party Disclosures. The Company's related party transactions are primarily related to financing activities.

Sylebra Credit Facility
PCT currently has a $200.0 million Revolving Credit Facility pursuant to a credit agreement (the "Revolving Credit Agreement") dated as of March 15, 2023 and amended from time to time, with PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and PCT LLC (the “Guarantors”), Sylebra Capital Partners Master Fund, LTD, Sylebra Capital Parc Master Fund, and Sylebra Capital Menlo Master Fund (collectively, the “Lenders”), and Madison Pacific Trust Limited (the “Administrative Agent” and “Security Agent”). The Lenders and their affiliates are greater than 5% beneficial owners of PCT.
Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest at a variable annual rate equal to Term SOFR (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) in effect for such period plus 17.50%. PCT is also required to pay a commitment fee equal to 0.25% per annum based on the actual daily unused amount of the Revolving Credit Facility, payable quarterly. Subject to timely prior written notice and payment of breakage fees, if any, PCT may at any time and from time to time (i) terminate all or any portion of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement and/or (ii) prepay all or any portion of any outstanding borrowings.
The Revolving Credit Agreement contains representations, covenants and events of default that are customary for financing transactions of this nature. Events of default in the Revolving Credit Agreement include, among others: (a) non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts; (b) default of specific covenants; (c) breach of representations and warranties; (d) cross-defaults to other indebtedness in an amount greater than $1.0 million, subject to certain exceptions; (e) bankruptcy and insolvency proceedings; (f) inability to pay debts or attachment; (g) judgments; and (h) change of control. Upon the occurrence of an event of default, the Administrative Agent shall, at the request of, or may, with the consent of, the Required Lenders (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) terminate the loan commitments, accelerate all loans and exercise on behalf of itself and the Lenders all rights and remedies available to it and the Lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the other loan documents.
Amounts outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement are guaranteed by the Guarantors, and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of PCT. Any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiaries of PCT are required to guaranty the obligations under the Revolving Credit Agreement and grant security interests in substantially all of their respective assets.
On February 5, 2025, in conjunction with a private placement offering of the Company's Common Stock, the Company, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders executed a Limited Consent and Seventh Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, permit the Offering and the transactions contemplated thereby. The lenders and their affiliates are greater than 5% beneficial owners of the Company.
On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into the Eighth Amendment to the Revolving Credit Agreement, which extended the maturity date of the Revolving Credit Facility from March 31, 2026 to September 30, 2026.
On June 16, 2025, in conjunction with a private placement offering of the Company's Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, the Company, the Guarantors, the Administrative Agent, the Security Agent and the Lenders executed a Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, (i) permit the offering of the Company's Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, and (ii) amend the indebtedness covenant to add a basket for unsecured indebtedness of the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million.
During June 2025, the Company drew a total of $10.0 million on the Revolving Credit Facility, which was repaid during the same month using the funds received on the Series B Preferred Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, as described in more detail in Note 11 -Mezzanine Equity and Stockholders' Equity.
There wereno funds drawn on the Revolving Credit Facility as of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Green Convertible Notes
On August 21, 2023, the Company priced its private offering of $215.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 7.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Initial Notes”). On August 22, 2023, the initial purchaser in such offering exercised its option to purchase an additional $35.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 7.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (together with the “Initial Notes”, the “Green Convertible Notes”), bringing the total aggregate principal amount of the Green Convertible Notes to $250.0 million. Entities affiliated with a greater than 5% beneficial owner of the Company purchased $50.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Green Convertible Notes. Refer to Note 14 -Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.
On August 24, 2023, the Company completed the private offering of the Green Convertible Notes. Each $1,000 principal amount at maturity of the Notes was issued at a price of $900. An amount equal to the difference between the issue price and the principal amount at maturity will accrete from the original issue date through August 15, 2027. The Notes are senior unsecured obligations of the Company.
The net proceeds from the Green Convertible Notes, excluding any offering expenses, were approximately $218.5 million, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discounts and fees paid to the Company's financial advisor. The Company allocated an amount equal to the net proceeds from the offering to the financing and refinancing of recently completed and future Eligible Green Projects (as defined below) in the United States. In particular, the Company allocated the net proceeds from the offering (1) to make payments on certain long-lead items (2) to fund initial inside and outside battery limits engineering design work, all of which are associated with a multi-line purification facility to be built in Augusta, Georgia (the "Augusta Facility"), (3) for certain feedstock preparation (“PreP”) equipment and (4) to a research and development lab.
This allocation included historical spend from January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024, related to the Augusta Facility, as well as the PreP facilities in process that will provide feedstock for both the Augusta Facility and also the Ironton Facility.
In June 2025, the Company announced its intent to re-direct and re-purpose certain previously purchased long-lead equipment valued at$195 millionto its projects in Antwerp, Belgium and/or Rayong, Thailand. The Company also announced its intent to design a larger capacity facility, the first of which is to be constructed and installed at the Augusta Facility. The Company has already allocated$62 million toward certain PreP equipment and a research and development lab, and will use additional funds, far in excess of the remaining unallocated proceeds from the Green Convertible Notes, to continue engineering design work and to purchase additional long lead items for the Augusta Facility. Pending such allocation, the Company intends to use the remaining net proceeds for general corporate purposes.
“Eligible Green Projects” means: investments in (i) acquisitions of buildings; (ii) building developments or redevelopments; (iii) renovations in existing buildings; and (iv) tenant improvement projects, in each case, that have received, or are expected to receive, in thethree years prior to the issuance of the Notes or during the term of the Notes, a Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Silver, Gold or Platinum certification (or environmentally equivalent successor standards). Prior to issuing the Notes and as part of its overall business plan, the Company has focused on the value of the sustainability opportunities PureFive™ resin offers to support expanding a circular economy. To pursue those opportunities, the Company purchased equipment and commissioned design services for PreP facilities that will enable the Company to advance circular economy adapted products, production technologies and processes, and/or research and development related to recycling waste polypropylene. The Company believes those legacy purchases and designs should complement the Company’s Eligible Green Projects development.
The Augusta Facility is currently in the front-end engineering and design validation phase and is incorporating the operational optimization and efficiency opportunities identified during the Ironton Facility commissioning. The Company identified “Building Design and Construction” as the appropriate LEED rating system for the Augusta Facility project though the Company believes it is premature to register the Augusta Facility project with the LEED on-line platform at this time.
In connection with the issuance of the Green Convertible Notes, the Company entered into an Indenture, dated August 24, 2023 (the “Indenture”), with U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee. The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The events of default, as set forth in the Indenture and subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods, include customary events including a default in the payment of principal or interest, failure to comply with the obligation to deliver amounts due upon conversion, failure to give certain notices, failure to comply with the obligations in respect of certain merger transactions, defaults under certain other indebtedness and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
The Green Convertible Notes will mature on August 15, 2030 (the “Maturity Date”), unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted. The Green Convertible Notes will bear interest at a rate of 7.25% per annum on the principal amount at maturity from August 24, 2023, payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2024.
Holders of the Green Convertible Notes may convert all or any portion of the Green Convertible Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the Maturity Date. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of its Common Stock or a combination of cash and shares of its Common Stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate will initially be 67.4764 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 principal amount at maturity of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $14.82 per share of Common Stock), which represents a conversion premium of approximately 50% to the $9.88 per share closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the Nasdaq Capital Market on August 21, 2023. The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events described in the Indenture that occur prior to August 15, 2027, or upon the issuance of a notice of redemption (as described below) prior to August 15, 2027 for an optional redemption, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or elects to convert its notes called (or deemed called) for optional redemption during the related redemption period.
Holders of the Green Convertible Notes have the right to require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Green Convertible Notes on August 15, 2027 at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount at maturity of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, August 15, 2027. In addition, if the Company undergoes a fundamental change (as defined in the Indenture), holders of the Notes may require the Company to repurchase their Notes at a cash repurchase price equal to 100% of the accreted principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date.
The Company may not redeem the Green Convertible Notes prior to August 20, 2025. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Green Convertible 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 Green Convertible 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 Green Convertible Notes. No sinking fund is provided for the Green Convertible Notes. The fair value of the Green Convertible Notes is included in the Level 3 measurement in the fair value hierarchy as they were derived using significant unobservable inputs. Refer to Note 14 -Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.

NOTE 9 - 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 that are also not more likely than not to be realized. As a result, the Company hasno reported tax expense for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Management has evaluated the Company’s tax positions and has determined that the Company has takenno uncertain tax positions that require adjustment to the condensed consolidated financial statements for the reported periods.
NOTE 10 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Financial Assurance
On March 14, 2024, the Company renewed a surety bond in the amount of $25.0 million to provide financial assurance related to its performance under a certain vendor contract, which expires at the earlier of satisfaction of the obligation, termination of the related vendor contract, orone year from issuance (subject to renewal withinone year). Effective July 1, 2024, the amount was increased from $25.0 million to $45.9 million. Effective October 4, 2024, the amount was decreased from $45.9 million to $8.1 million as a result of PCT funding a restricted escrow account.
The surety bond will expire at the earlier of satisfaction of the obligations, termination of the related vendor contract, or December 31, 2025.
Legal Proceedings
The Company 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 the Company that remains outstanding as of June 30, 2025.
Denham-Blythe Arbitration
On October 7, 2020, PCO, a subsidiary of the Company, and Denham-Blythe Company, Inc. (“DB”) executed an Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Agreement for certain construction activities associated with the Ironton Facility (“EPC Contract”).
On June 16, 2023, following unsuccessful efforts at mediating various disputes over certain unapproved change orders and payment applications, DB filed a demand for binding arbitration (“Arbitration Demand”) with the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), seeking approximately $17.0 million plus attorney's fees and cost of the arbitration related to certain fee applications, change orders and amounts currently held in retainage by PCO, and, on June 21, 2023, filed a mechanics lien in Lawrence County, Ohio for the same sum. On July 20, 2023, PCO filed its Answer and Counterclaim, in which PCO contends that various deficiencies in DB’s work resulted in damages to PCO in excess of DB’s $17.0 million Arbitration Demand, including, but not limited to, the following: DB’s late delivery, 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 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 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 and equipment procurement and installation for the Ironton Project. In an order dated December 7, 2023, the AAA granted DB’s request to join ThermalTech Engineering, Inc., and ThermalTech Turnkey Solutions LLC (collectively, “TT”). Thereafter, TT filed an answer and counterclaim alleging DB failed to pay them approximately $2.0 million.
On March 8, 2024, ISC Constructors, a DB subcontractor, filed an action in equity for unjust enrichment against PCO in Lawrence Co. Ohio Case # 240C000171. The lawsuit alleges $0.5 million in unpaid invoices and retainage. The lawsuit ISC filed was consolidated with the pending DB claims and has been stayed pending completion of the arbitration. An arbitration claim for breach of contract, for the same amount, was filed by ISC Constructors in the AAA against DB. That arbitration action has been consolidated with the AAA arbitration between PCO and DB listed above. Recently, at ISC’s request, the AAA separated the claims of ISC for a later hearing after the completion of the arbitration involving TT, DB and PCO.
PCO intends to vigorously defend itself against DB’s claims and to pursue recovery of damages resulting from DB’s failure to perform adequately under the EPC Contract. Given the stage of the arbitration, PCT cannot reasonably estimate at this time whether there will be any loss, or if there is a loss, the possible range of loss, that may result from the Arbitration Demand.
Other Matters
On April 25, 2024, the Company received a litigation demand letter from a purported shareholder, Selim Piot, requesting that the Board take action against certain officers and directors. On May 6, 2024, Mr. Piot served a books and records demand and initiated a derivative action in the Chancery Court of Delaware captioned Piot v. Bouck, et al., No. 2024-0475-NAC (Del. Ch.). On May 21, 2024, Mr. Piot served another books and records demand. The claims asserted in Mr. Piot’s demand letters and derivative action are substantially similar to those asserted in the now resolved derivative lawsuits and other parties' books and records demand letters pursuant to Section 220 of the Delaware General Corporation laws. The Parties agreed to a stipulation dismissing the Piot derivative action and on July 23, 2025, the Court issued an order dismissing the Piot matter with prejudice.
NOTE 11 - MEZZANINE EQUITY AND STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Mezzanine Equity
Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock
On June 16, 2025, the Company entered into binding subscription agreements (the "Series B Subscription Agreements") with certain investors (collectively, the “Series B Investors”), including investment entities affiliated with Pure Crown, Sylebra Capital Management and Daniel Gibson, and Samlyn Capital, LLC, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell to the Series B Investors, in a private placement transaction (the “Series B Offering”), an aggregate of 300,000 shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (“Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock"), at an initial issue price of $1,000 per share (the “Initial Issue Series B Price”). The transactions contemplated by the Series B Subscription Agreements closed on June 20, 2025. The gross proceeds to the Company were $300.0 million before deducting placement agent fees and other estimated offering expenses.
In accordance with ASC 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity, the Company has classified the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock in temporary (mezzanine) equity because the Company can be forced into a cash redemption scenario upon events not within its control pursuant to a change in control redemption provision. The Company initially measured the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at the amount of total proceeds less offering costs. Because the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is neither currently redeemable nor probable of becoming redeemable in the future, no subsequent measurement is required at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the probability of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock becoming redeemable at each reporting period.
The Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock was issued pursuant to a Series B Certificate of Designations (the “Series B Certificate of Designations”) filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, establishing the preferences, limitations and relative rights of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares. The Series B Certificate of Designations amended the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and was effective immediately on filing.
The Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock ranks, with respect to dividend rights and rights upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company (a “Liquidation Event”): (a) senior to the Company’s Common Stock and other capital stock of the Company, the terms of which do not expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to or on a parity with the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock other than the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock (as defined below), as to divided rights and rights upon Liquidation Events; (b) on a parity with any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks on a parity with the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon Liquidation Events; (c) junior to the Series A Preferred Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Company, the terms of which expressly provide that such class or series ranks senior to the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock as to dividend rights and rights upon Liquidation Events; and (d) junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Company.
A holder of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock may elect to convert their holdings into shares of the Company's Common Stock at any time. In addition, on or after the dividend payment date following the fourth anniversary of the Closing Date, if at any time the closing price of the Company's Common Stock has been at least 175% of the applicable conversion price for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the trading day on which a conversion notice is given (a “Series B Conversion Notice”), the Company may elect to convert all of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock into a number of shares of the Company's Common Stock equal to the Series B Accrued Value (as defined below) divided by the conversion price on the date of the Series B Conversion Notice, unless modified pursuant to a Make-Whole Change (as defined below). The Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at an initial conversion price equal to $14.02, which represents a 30% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to the execution of the Series B Subscription Agreements.
If requisite stockholder approval is required for certain conversions, then until such approval is obtained, no shares of the Company's Common Stock will be issued or delivered upon conversion of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock if doing so would cause the holder (or any related person/group) to own more than 19.99% of the outstanding voting stock.
Except as may be expressly required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, holders of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock are not entitled to any voting rights.
Holders of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock are entitled to receive cumulative dividends at a rate equal to 7% per annum, payable in kind or in cash at the Company’s option, which dividends, if paid in kind, will be capitalized to the Series B Accrued Value. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, there were $0.6 million of in-kind dividends accrued on the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock, which increased the outstanding Series B Perpetual Convertible Preferred Stock value.
In the event of any Liquidation Event, each holder of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive a per share amount equal to the greater of (i) the per share purchase price of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock (as adjusted for any in kind dividends paid thereon) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends thereon (the “Series B Accrued Value”) and (ii) the amount that such Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive if they had converted into the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event.
The Company may not take any of the following actions unless otherwise approved by the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock: (a) amend or waive any provision in the Certificate of Incorporation in any way that materially, adversely and disproportionately affects the rights, preferences, and privileges or power of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock; (b) increase the authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock unless such increase is required pursuant to the existing terms of the Certificate of Designations of Series A Preferred Stock, as modified by the waivers entered into by all of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock on September 17, 2024; (c) other than in connection with the Series A Preferred Stock, issue any equity securities of the Company containing rights, preferences or privileges with respect to distributions or liquidation superior to or on parity with the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock; or (d) repurchase or redeem any of the Company's issued and outstanding Common Stock other than any such repurchases or redemptions (i) undertaken in connection with any equity incentive agreements approved by the Company’s board of directors, (ii) undertaken to satisfy obligations of the Company existing on the date of the Certificate of Designations or (iii) that do not result in payments by the Company in an aggregate amount, together with all prior payments made pursuant to this clause (iii), in excess of $50.0 million.
Except in the case of a change in control, the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock may not be redeemed or repurchased upon the election of the holders of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock.
Upon certain change in control events involving the Company, (i) the holders of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock will have the right to require the Company to redeem any or all of their Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock and (ii) the Company will have the option to redeem all (but not less than all) of the then-outstanding Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, in each case, for a cash amount equal to the Series B Accrued Value, on a per share basis. In connection with the Company delivering a Series B Conversion Notice or in connection with a change in control, the Company will, in certain circumstances, be required to increase the conversion rate for shares of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock converting in connection therewith (a “Make-Whole Change”). Such Make-Whole Change will be calculated using a make-whole table calculated over a 10-year period. In no event will the conversion rate be increased to an amount that exceeds 87.5611 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 liquidation preference of Series B Preferred Stock.
As part of the Series B Subscription Agreements, the Company is required to, among other things, prepare and file a registration statement (the “Registration Statement”) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), covering the resale of the shares of the Company's Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to have such Registration Statement filed within 30 days of the Closing Date and have such Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission no later than 60 calendar days after the Closing Date (or 90 calendar days in the event of a “full review” by the Commission).
In conjunction with the offering of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to the Company's Revolving Credit Facility, to, among other things, (i) permit the Offering and (ii) amend the indebtedness covenant to add a basket for unsecured indebtedness of the Company in an aggregate principal amount not to exceed $50.0 million.

The transactions contemplated by the Series A Subscription Agreements closed on September 13, 2024.

The Put Option is contingent upon the Company incurring any indebtedness after the initial issue date that is senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and/or secured by the assets of PureCycle Augusta, LLC. As of June 30, 2025, there wasno fair value ascribed to the Put Option liability. As of December 31, 2024, the Put Option liability has a fair value of $3.4 million.

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

RSUs issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the awards equal to the fair value on the date of grant of the awards on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. The grant-date fair value of the awards is equal to the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock one day prior to the date of grant. The Company has the option to repurchase all vested shares upon a stockholder’s termination of employment or service with the Company.
A summary of RSU activity for thesix months ended June 30, 2025 is as follows:
| Number of RSUs(in thousands) | Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value | Weighted Average Remaining RecognitionPeriod (in years) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Non-vested at December 31, 2024 | 3,438 | $7.90 | 2.5 |

The stock options issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan.
The Company recognizes compensation expense for the stock option awards based on the fair value at the date of grant on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of such awards. The fair value of the stock option award is calculated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model based on the following assumptions:

| Risk-free rate of return | 4.06% - 4.45% | 4.3% |
| Expected option term (years) | 6.5 | 6.5 |
The expected term of the shares granted is determined based on the period of time the shares are expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility is 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 on its Common Stock. The fair value of the underlying Company's Common Stock is determined using the closing stock price of the Company's Common Stock on the grant date.

RTI Warrants
On January 16, 2025, RTI exercised their outstanding warrants. The Company received $5.4 million in cash and issued 1.5 million shares of Common Stock to RTI.
Public Warrants and Private Warrants
The Company has outstanding public and private warrants that entitle each holder to exercise its warrants for a whole number of shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The warrants expire March 17, 2026, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. The private warrants are identical to the public warrants, except that the private warrants are non-redeemable so long as they are held by the initial holder or any of its permitted transferees. If the private warrants are held by someone other than the initial holder or its permitted transferees, the private warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the public warrants.
The Company may redeem the outstanding warrants in whole, but not in part, at a price of $0.01 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption, if and only if the last sale price of the Company's Common Stock equals or exceeds $18.00 per share for any 20 trading days within a 30-day trading 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 private warrants are accounted for as liability-classified as there is a provision within the warrant agreement that allows for private warrants to be exercised via a cashless exercise while held by the holder and affiliates of the original holder, but would not be exercisable at any time on a cashless basis if transferred and held by another investor. Therefore, the Company classifies the private warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities, until the private warrants are transferred from the initial purchasers or any of their permitted transferees.
Refer to Note 14 -Fair Value of Financial Instruments for further information.
Series A Warrants
On March 7, 2022, the Company issued approximately 17.9 million Series A Warrants to the 2022 PIPE Investors to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchaseone whole share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share any time after September 17, 2022. The warrants expire on March 17, 2026.
On April 11, 2025, the Company entered into a side letter agreement with certain holders of the Series A Warrants to forbear the Company's exercise of its redemption rights with respect to those certain holders' Series A Warrants. As a consequence of such side letter, the Company is unable to redeem the Series A Warrants forany holder of the Series A Warrants prior to the expiration of the Series A Warrants.
The agreements governing the Series A Warrants provide for a Black-Scholes value calculation in the event of certain transactions, which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Series A Warrants that could result in a value that would be greater than the settlement amount of a fixed-for-fixed option on the Company’s own equity shares. Therefore, the Company has classified the Series A Warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
On July 28, 2025, Glockner, a related party of the Company, exercised 0.1 million of their outstanding Series A Warrants. The Company received $1.2 million in cash and issued 0.1 million shares of Common Stock to Glockner.
Series B Warrants
On May 10, 2024, pursuant to the Series B Warrant Agreement, the Company issued Series B Warrants to Pure Plastic to purchase an aggregate of 3.1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchaseone whole share of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Series B Warrants expire on December 1, 2030, but may be subject to redemption at any time after January 1, 2028, if certain Common Stock price thresholds are met.
The Series B Warrant Agreement provides for a Black-Scholes value calculation in the event of certain transactions, which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Series B 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 classified the Series B Warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.
Series C Warrants
On September 13, 2024, pursuant to the Series A Subscription Agreements, the Company issued Series C Warrants to purchase an aggregate of 5.0 million shares of the Company's Common Stock. Each warrant is exercisable at a price per share of the Company's Common Stock of $11.50, subject to adjustment for splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events. The Series C Warrants expire on December 1, 2030, but may be subject to redemption at any time after January 1, 2029, if certain Common Stock price thresholds are met.
The Series C Warrant Agreement provides for a Black-Scholes value calculation in the event of certain transactions, which includes a floor on volatility utilized in the value calculation at 100% or greater. The Company has determined this provision introduces leverage to the holders of the Series C 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 has classified the Series C Warrants as a liability pursuant to ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging Activities.

NOTE 14 – FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date and sets out a fair value hierarchy. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Inputs are broadly defined as assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. Assets and liabilities carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following three categories:
Level 1 - Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date.
Level 2 - Inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies.
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 June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s financial liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on a recurring basis were classified within the fair value hierarchy as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||

As of June 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company's financial liabilities for instruments not remeasured at fair value on a recurring basis within the fair value hierarchy are as follows:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| (in thousands) | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |

| Total bonds | $— | $— | $148,060 | $148,060 | $— | $— | $109,525 | $109,525 |
For the instruments classified as Level 3, significant changes in any of the significant unobservable inputs in isolation would not result in a materially different fair value estimate. The fair value of the liabilities above is derived from the trading price of the Company's publicly traded bonds on the last trading day of the fiscal quarter. The Company's publicly traded bonds are thinly traded and, as such, the Company has deemed the input as an unobservable input. Since each of the instruments classified as Level 3 are being valued using similar inputs, a significant change that would impact expected volatility or the market price of PCT's Common Stock could result in a material change to the total combined value of these instruments. An increase in one or both of these inputs would result in a higher assessed value for each instrument.
Measurement of the Private Warrants
The private warrants are measured at fair value on a recurring basis using a Black-Scholes model. The private warrants are classified as Level 3 and were valued using the following assumptions:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Expected annual dividend yield | —% | —% |
| Expected volatility | 75.1% | 93.1% |
| Risk-free rate of return | 4.1% | 4.1% |
| Expected option term (years) | 0.7 | 1.2 |
The expected term of the private warrants is 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 issuance. The expected volatility is 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 private warrants is assumed to bezero as the Company has not historically paid dividends on its Common Stock. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using a Black-Scholes value calculation.
A summary of the private warrants activity from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 is as follows:
| (in thousands) | Fair Value(Level 3) |
|---|---|
| Balance, December 31, 2024 | $443 |

Measurement of the RTI Warrants
On January 16, 2025, RTI exercised their outstanding warrants. The Company received$5.4 million incash and issued 1.5 million shares of the Company's Common Stock. The Company determined the RTI Warrants were to be measured using a Level 3 fair value measurement and was remeasured using a Binomial Tree option pricing model to calculate its fair value using the following assumptions:
| Expected annual dividend yield | —% |
|---|---|
| Expected volatility | 77.1% |
| Risk-free rate of return | 4.4% |
| Expected option term (years) | 0.1 |
The expected term of the RTI Warrants was determined based on the duration of time the warrants were expected to be outstanding. The risk-free rate was based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected volatility was calculated based on the specific volatility of PCT’s publicly-traded Common Stock. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants was assumed to bezero as the Company has not historically paid dividends on its Common Stock. The fair value of the underlying Company shares was determined using a Binomial Tree pricing model.

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.
Measurement of the Series B Warrants
The Series B Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has determined the Series B Warrants to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and has performed initial recognition and ongoing remeasurement using a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate its fair value using the following assumptions:
| June 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

Measurement of the Put Option Liability
The Put Option liability meets the definition of a derivative instrument and is measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has determined the Put Option liability to be a Level 3 fair value measurement and has performed initial recognition and ongoing remeasurement using a Monte Carlo simulation to calculate its fair value using the following assumptions:
| June 30, 2025 (1) | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Risk-free rate of return | —% | 4.4% |
| Credit spread | —% | 16.7% |
(1) During the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company announced its plans to construct a new polypropylene recycling facility in Thailand, which has adjusted the timeline on construction of the Augusta Facility. Because the Put Option is contingent upon the Company incurring any indebtedness that is senior to the Series A Preferred Stock and/or secured by the assets of PureCycle Augusta, LLC, this adjusted timeline has resulted in the likelihood of the Put Option being exercised as remote as of June 30, 2025. Accordingly, there is has been no value ascribed to the Put Option as of June 30, 2025.
A summary of the Put Option activity from December 31, 2024 to June 30, 2025 are as follows:

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 cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable at cost, which approximates fair value due to their short-term nature or stated rates. The Company records debt at cost less any discounts and issuance costs.
NOTE 15 – NET LOSS PER SHARE
The Company follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common share when shares are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common stockholders 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.
The computation for the basic and diluted loss per share for thethree and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, | |||
