ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Current report

Our ability to commercialize our technology depends on our ability, and the ability of our collaborators, joint ventures and licensees, to finance, permit, engineer, construct, commission and operate planned commercial facilities, including the planned India JV facility and the first planned European facility to be developed under our licensing arrangement in Europe. Although we have substantially completed the development of our core technology and have operated our Terrebonne, Québec depolymerization facility for five years demonstrating the effectiveness of our technology, the Terrebonne Facility is a small-scale plant with limited production capacity used principally for research and development, training and customer marketing purposes, and we have not yet tested our technology at the scale and cost structure required for large commercial use.

Current report

Additionally, several of our key commercial agreements and strategic alliances, including the offtake agreements with Nike and Taro Plast and strategic alliances with Shinkong and Hyosung TNC, are conditioned upon, or otherwise dependent on, the successful construction and operation of the Infinite Loop™ India facility. If the facility is not completed, is significantly delayed, or fails to achieve the required production volumes or product quality specifications, we may be unable to realize the anticipated benefits under these agreements, which could result in their termination or renegotiation, damage our relationships with key customers and strategic partners, and adversely affect our ability to generate revenues and execute our commercialization strategy.
Removed paragraphs (2)

Previous report

Disruption at, damage to, or destruction of our Terrebonne Facility could impede our ability to continue innovating and refining our technological process, and supporting our commercial projects, which would harm our business, financial condition, and operating results.

Previous report

Our research and development activities are performed from a single location in Terrebonne, Québec. Our continued innovation activities rely on an uninterrupted and fully functioning plant. In addition to supporting innovation and process optimization, the Terrebonne Facility also serves as a technical reference point for our plans to deploy modular construction in lower-cost jurisdictions. Interruptions in operations at this location could result in our inability to provide the most efficient and effective technological solution to our partners and customers, as well as hinder continued validation of our technology. A number of factors could cause interruptions, including, but not limited to, equipment malfunctions or failures, technology malfunctions, work stoppages or slow-downs, damage to or destruction of the facility, or regional power shortages. As our equipment ages, it will need to be replaced. Any disruption that impedes our ability to optimize our process and provide support for our commercial projects in a timely manner could reduce our revenues and materially harm our business. Additionally, the repair or replacement of critical equipment, and the restoration of operations at the Terrebonne Facility if a disruption occurs, could result in substantial costs, operational delays, and the diversion of management’s time and resources.
Reworded paragraphs (10)

Previous wording

Since our inception in 2010, we have incurred net losses. Our net loss for the year ended February 28, 2025 was $15.1 million and we have earned limited revenues to date. We have financed our operations primarily through sales of capital stock and incurrence of debt and have devoted substantial efforts to research and development, process engineering, as well as building our team and business partnerships. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. Although we believe that our business plan has significant profit potential, there is no assurance that we will attain profitable operations or that management will succeed in realizing our business objectives.

Current wording

Since our inception in 2010, we have incurred net losses. Our net loss for the year ended February 28, 2026 was $12.2 million and we have earned limited revenues to date. We have financed our operations primarily through sales of capital stock and incurrence of debt and have devoted substantial efforts to research and development, process engineering, as well as building our team and business partnerships. We expect to continue to incur significant expenses and operating losses for the foreseeable future, and our net losses may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. As of February 28, 2026, management has determined that our existing cash resources, together with amounts available under our undrawn credit facility, will not be sufficient to fund our ongoing operations, obligations and commitments for at least the next twelve months from the issuance date of our audited consolidated financial statements. These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Although we believe that our business plan has significant profit potential, there is no assurance that we will attain profitable operations or that management will succeed in realizing our business objectives.

Previous wording

We expect to continue incurring operating losses, as our revenues are not yet sufficient to offset the costs of our business operations. While we have begun generating revenue, including a €10.0 million upfront licensing fee under our transactions with Reed and $0.4 million in engineering services revenue from our India JV in the quarter ended February 28, 2025, we may not generate material revenues from licensing or product sales for several years. If we are not able to develop our business as anticipated, the revenues we generate may not be sufficient to support our operations or achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that we will successfully generate sufficient revenues in the future, and failure to do so would prevent us from earning profits or continuing operations.

Current wording

We expect to continue incurring operating losses, as our revenues are not yet sufficient to offset the costs of our business operations. While we have generated $0.5 million in engineering services revenue from our India JV in the year ended February 28, 2026, we may not generate material revenues from licensing or product sales for several years. If we are not able to develop our business as anticipated, the revenues we generate may not be sufficient to support our operations or achieve profitability. There can be no assurance that we will successfully generate sufficient revenues in the future, and failure to do so would prevent us from earning profits or continuing operations.

Previous wording

The business environment in which we operate has been impacted by the effects of worldwide macroeconomic uncertainty. Economic activity improved slightly during 2024; however, economic concerns remain as a result of the cumulative weight of uncertainty regarding the economic conditions in the United States, where our securities are listed and in foreign countries, including global political hostilities and other financial disruptions. The imposition of broad tariffs by the United States in April 2025 has contributed to global market volatility. These protectionist measures have intensified trade tensions and heightened economic uncertainty, which may adversely impact investor confidence and constrain the availability of capital. Inflationary pressures have persisted and may continue to rise, driven by supply-demand imbalances, ongoing supply chain disruptions, and broader pricing pressures. The near-term outlook for global markets remains uncertain, and strategic risks, including potentially rising interest rates and sluggish economic growth, continue to pose challenges to many business models.

Our technology may not be successful in developing commercial products.

Current wording

Our technology may not be successful in achieving widespread commercial success at scale.

Previous wording

We and our collaborators may spend many years and dedicate significant financial and other resources to developing our technology that may never be successfully commercialized at scale. Our technology may never achieve widespread commercial success for, among others, any of the following reasons:

We are currently advancing a joint venture with Ester to construct the Infinite Loop™ India manufacturing facility, which is expected to produce approximately 70,000 tons per year of Loop branded PET resin and polyester fiber. This project is in the early stages of development, with groundbreaking expected in the second half of calendar 2025 and commercial operations projected to begin in calendar 2027. The total initial funding requirement is estimated at approximately $176 million and is expected to be financed through a combination of debt and equity capital. The success of the facility depends on a number of factors, many of which are outside of our control.

Previous wording

The demand for rPET has historically fluctuated with the price of crude oil. Recent volatility in global financial markets and a resulting decline in oil prices have increased uncertainty in the pricing dynamics of the plastics industry. If crude oil prices decline, the cost to manufacture rPET may become comparatively higher than the cost to manufacture virgin alternatives. This could reduce demand for recycled alternatives if customers prioritize cost over sustainability. Our ability to penetrate the market will depend in part on the cost of manufacturing of our products, and if we do not successfully distinguish our products from those of virgin manufacturers our entry into the market and our ability to secure customer contracts can be adversely affected.

We currently have several financing arrangements in place that contain restrictions and potential cash obligations. For example, our Series B CPS issued to an affiliate of Reed carries voting rights and a 13% cumulative annual PIK dividend, and is redeemable by the holder on the fifth anniversary of issuance. Additionally, we have a $2.4 million (CDN $3.5 million) secured credit facility with a Canadian bank, which is secured by the Company’s Terrebonne, Québec property and is subject to a minimum equity covenant tested quarterly. These existing and potential obligations, together with any new financings we may pursue, could impact our future liquidity and operational flexibility.
