Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION

PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries, "PCT" or the "Company") is a Florida-based corporation focused on commercializing a patented dissolution recycling technology for polypropylene that physically separates the polymer from other plastics, colors, odors and impurities (the “Technology”). The Technology was originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”) and is designed to restore recycled polypropylene waste into like-new resin pellets, called PureFive® resin. PureFive® resin has similar properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene.

The process includes the following steps:

Feed Pre-Processing (“Feed PreP”) collects, sorts, and prepares polypropylene waste (“feedstock”) for the dissolution recycling process ("Purification").

Purification is a dissolution 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 supercritical fluids that both extract and filter out other plastics and additives to 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.

Compounding, which involves blending the Company's resin with either virgin resin or additives, is a step that can be used on a case-by-case basis. Compounding allows for the modification of the resin to meet the end-user’s qualifications with melt flow, flexibility, clarity, color and strength being some of the properties that can be tailored through compounding.

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 United States ("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 U.S. (“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, 2025. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2026 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year ending December 31, 2026.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in prior periods have been reclassified to conform with the current year presentation, including the reclassification of spare parts to inventory as discussed below.

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 12 months is classified as current on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Restricted cash that is expected to be spent or released from restriction after 12 months is classified as noncurrent on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Concentration of Revenue and Accounts Receivable

Two customers generated 76% of the Company's revenues during the three months ended March 31, 2026, and comprised 79% of the Company's accounts receivable as of March 31, 2026. Three customers generated 74% of the Company's revenues during thethree months ended March 31, 2025, and two customers comprised 81% of the Company's accounts receivable as of December 31, 2025.

Inventory

Production inventories are valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value and include raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods inventory. The Company’s inventories are valued under the average cost method. As the Company has not generated material recurring sales and is in the early stages of operations, net realizable value is estimated based on anticipated selling prices. Commencing on January 1, 2026, the Company records spare parts for plant maintenance as inventory and expenses when utilized. Spare parts were previously included in prepaid expenses and other current assets. The prior year balance was reclassified to conform with the current year presentation. The Company chose to reclassify spare parts to inventory to more closely align with the use of spare parts in the production process to reflect the more substantive production levels of the Company as it continues to evolve from a development-stage entity.

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. 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 asingle operating segment, which encompasses integrated business activities related to the recycling of polypropylene into resin pellets. 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)/Income includes 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)/Income. The CODM primarily reviews certain operating key performance indicators for evaluating performance and allocating resources.

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.

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.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2025, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The amendments in this update establish the accounting for a government grant received by a business entity, including guidance for (1) a grant related to an asset and (2) a grant related to income. A grant related to an asset is a government grant, or part of a government grant, that is conditioned on the purchase, construction, or acquisition of an asset (for example, a long-lived asset or inventory). A grant related to income is a government grant, or part of a government grant, other than a grant related to an asset (for example, a grant that reimburses a business entity for operating expenses). The amendments in this update require that a government grant received by a business entity should not be recognized until it is probable that (a) a business entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and (b) the grant will be received, and the business entity meets the recognition guidance for a grant related to an asset or a grant related to income. The amendments to this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2028 and interim periods within those reporting periods. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 and elected to utilize the cost accumulation approach to account for grants related to an asset. The adoption of this guidance did not impact the Company's financial statements.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 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. The Company adopted this guidance on January 1, 2026 and it will be applied to debt conversions if they occur.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2026, the FASB issued ASU No. 2026-01, Equity (Topic 505) - Initial Measurement of Paid-in-Kind Dividends on Equity- Classified Preferred Stock to provide authoritative guidance on how an issuer should initially measure paid-in-kind ("PIK") dividends on equity-classified preferred stock. The amendments do not affect an entity's determination of when to recognize PIK dividends. The amendments in this update require that PIK dividends on equity-classified preferred stock be initially measured on the basis of the PIK dividend rate 2 stated in the preferred stock agreement. For example, if the preferred stock agreement specifies that PIK dividends are calculated by multiplying the PIK dividend rate by the liquidation value of the preferred stock outstanding, an entity should initially measure the PIK dividend at that amount. The liquidation value (or liquidation preference) of the preferred stock is typically defined by the preferred stock agreement and specifies the value of the preferred stock upon the occurrence of a liquidation event (such as the entity becoming insolvent). When preferred stock is not issued at a discount or premium, the liquidation value upon initial issuance is typically the same as the original issuance price of the preferred stock. The amendments to this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-12, Codification Improvements to address suggestions received from stakeholders on Codification and to make other incremental improvements to U.S. GAAP. The update represents changes to the Codification that clarify, correct errors in, or make other improvements to a variety of topics that are intended to make it easier to understand and apply. The amendments to this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-11, Interim Reporting (Topic 270): Narrow - Scope Improvements. The update provides clarifications intended to improve the consistency and usability of interim disclosure requirements, including a comprehensive listing of required interim disclosures and a new disclosure principle for reporting material events occurring after the most recent annual period. The amendments do not change the underlying objectives of interim reporting but are designed to enhance clarity in application. The amendments to this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2027 and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU No. 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The amendment simplifies the capitalization guidance by removing all references to software development project stages so that the guidance is neutral to different software development methods. The amendments to this update are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption of this update is permitted. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on its financial statements and disclosures.

In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU No. 2024-03, Income Statement – Reporting Comprehensive Income – Disaggregation Disclosures. In January 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-01, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Clarifying the Effective Date. 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 these updates are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption of these updates is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the updated standard will have on its financial statements.

PCT 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., PCT LLC and PureCycle Augusta, LLC (collectively, 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 Lenders and their affiliates are greater than 5% beneficial owners of PCT. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on September 30, 2027.

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 of 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.

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 March 31, 2026.

Denham-Blythe Arbitration

On October 7, 2020, PCO, a wholly-owned 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.

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 (the “Arbitration Demand”) with the American Arbitration Association (the “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 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 November 25, 2025, the Company received notice from the AAA arbitration panel of its decision, awarding DB approximately $15.0 million of its $17.0 million demand. The AAA arbitration panel also awarded DB interest and attorneys’ fees, subject to submission of documentation to the arbitration panel.

On March 18, 2026, following its evaluation of DB and other prevailing parties' submitted attorneys' fees, expenses, and prejudgment interest, the AAA arbitration panel issued its Final Order requiring the Company to pay DB a total of $20.3 million, which includes a reduction of prejudgment amounts owed for DB’s attorney’s fees and expenses to $1.7 million. The Company paid DB $20.3 million during April 2026, and, in connection therewith, DB dismissed with prejudice its lawsuit filed in Lawrence County, Ohio, and the matter has been resolved.

Winter Garden Lease Dispute

On November 20, 2024, the Company filed a complaint for declaratory relief in the Circuit Court for Orange County, Florida against Crown Industrial Partners, LLC (“Crown”), Case No. 2024-CA-010359, seeking the Court determine that Crown breached the eleven-year lease agreement for a planned PreP facility in Winter Garden, Florida (“Lease”) by failing to repair, replace, and restore the utility and sewer lines for the property subject to the Lease and by hindering the Company’s performance under the Lease; that the frustration of purpose doctrine excuses the Company’s performance; and that the Lease is terminated or that the Company is entitled to receive an abatement of rent due to the lack of tenantability of the leased premises. On August 6, 2025, Crown filed an Answer and Counterclaim in which it seeks a declaration from the Court that the Company is in breach because the Lease imposes on the Company the responsibility to obtain and maintain certain utility services. Crown is seeking actual and consequential damages for the Company’s alleged breach of failing to obtain certain utility services, including, but not limited to, diminution of value of the property, cost associated with providing water and wastewater service to the Property, reimbursement of tenant improvements paid by Crown for the Company’s occupancy, contractual indemnity for and all other damages caused by the Company’s alleged breach, plus rent due under the Lease and costs of reletting the property if the Company is forced to vacate prior to the Lease term, as well as costs and attorney’s fees. Discovery is ongoing in the matter. The Company believes that it is not possible at this time to reasonably assess the outcome of this matter or to estimate the loss or range of losses, if any, as the matter is in early stages.

Other Matters

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

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, including investment entities affiliated with Longview, Sylebra, Daniel Gibson, and Samlyn, pursuant to which the Company agreed to sell, in a private placement, an aggregate of 300,000 shares of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at an initial issue price of $1,000 per share. The transactions closed on June 20, 2025 generating gross proceeds of $300.0 million before placement agent fees and other 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 certain change in control events not within its control. The Company initially measured the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock at total proceeds less offering costs. Because the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is neither currently redeemable nor probable of becoming redeemable, no subsequent measurement is required at this time. The Company will continue to monitor the probability of redemption at each reporting period.

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 to dividend 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. On or after the dividend payment date following the fourth anniversary of the closing date, subject to the terms of the Series B Subscription Agreements, the Company may elect to convert all outstanding shares of the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock into Common Stock if 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. The Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is convertible into the Company's Common Stock at an initial conversion price of $14.02 per share, representing a 30% premium to the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company's Common Stock on the trading day immediately prior to execution of the Series B Subscription Agreements. In no event will the conversion rate exceed 87.5611 shares of Common Stock per $1,000 liquidation preference.

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 (as defined below). During thethree months ended March 31, 2026, there were $5.3 million of in-kind dividends accrued on the Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred stock, which increased the outstanding Series B Convertible Perpetual 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) plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the “Series B Accrued Value”) and (ii) the amount that such Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock would have been entitled to receive if it had converted into the Company's Common Stock immediately prior to such Liquidation Event.

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.

NOTE 12 - EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION

2021 Equity Incentive Plan

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

The Plan provides for the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance stock 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 Company's board of directors (the "Board").

As of March 31, 2026, approximately 32.6 million shares of Common Stock were authorized for issuance under the Plan, of which approximately 23.1 million shares remain available for issuance under the Plan (assuming maximum performance with respect to the applicable performance goals related to the Plan awards issued).

Restricted Stock Agreements

RSUs issued pursuant to the Plan are time-based and vest over the period defined in each individual grant agreement or upon a change of control event as defined in the Plan. The Company recognizes compensation expense for the 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 thethree months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:

Number of RSUs(in thousands)Weighted Average GrantDate Fair ValueWeighted Average Remaining RecognitionPeriod (in years)

Non-vested at March 31, 20262,658$8.372.8

As of March 31, 2026, there were$16.0 million in compensation costs related to non-vested awards to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.8 years.

Stock Options

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

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the 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:

For the Three Months Ended March 31,
20262025
Expected annual dividend yield0.0%0.0%
Expected volatility95.0%89.9% - 90.2%
Risk-free rate of return3.77%4.06% - 4.45%
Expected option term (years)6.56.5

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.

A summary of stock option activity for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:

As of March 31, 2026, there were$3.1 million in compensation costs related to non-vested awards to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 5.6 years. As of March 31, 2026, the exercisable stock options were out-of-the-money and have a remaining contractual life of 2.9 years.

Performance-Based Restricted Stock Awards

The shares issued pursuant to the Performance-Based Restricted Stock Agreements vest depending on if the performance obligations are met. In general, the PSUs will be earned based on achievement of pre-established financial and/or operational performance objectives and will vest on the date the attainment of such performance objectives as determined by the Compensation Committee of the Board, subject to the participant’s continued employment with the Company. These grants allow for the right to receive a variable number of shares, between 0% and 200% of target.

The Company recognizes compensation expense for the PSUs equal to the grant-date fair value of the equity-based compensation awards 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 one day prior to the date of grant.

A summary of the PSU activity for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 is as follows:

Number of PSUs(in thousands) · Weighted Average GrantDate Fair Value · Weighted Average Remaining Recognition Period(in years)

As of March 31, 2026, there were $2.8 million in compensation costs related to non-vested awards to be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 2.4 years.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026, the Company granted PSUs to certain employees that contain performance criteria based, in part, on achieving a total shareholder return (“TSR”) of the Company’s Common Stock relative to the TSR of the common stock of a pre-defined industry peer-group. The fair value of these awards is based on a Monte Carlo simulation model.

Equity-based compensation expense was comprised of the following for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 and is recorded in cost of operations and selling, general and administrative expenses within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive (Loss)/Income:

NOTE 13 - WARRANTS

The Company had the following series of warrants outstanding (in thousands, except per-share values) as of March 31, 2026 and December 31, 2025, all of which are exercisable:

(1)On April 16, 2026 the Company received the requisite shareholder approval to extend the expiration date of the public and private warrants to March 17, 2027.

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. On February 25, 2026, the Company entered into a supplemental agreement (the “PCT Warrants Supplemental Warrant Agreement”) to the original warrant agreements, which, in part, extended the expiration dates of the public and private warrants to June 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 public 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.

On April 16, 2026, the Company entered into the Second Supplemental Warrant Agreement, pursuant to which (i) the redemption trigger price for the public and private warrants was reduced from $18.00 to $14.38 per share, and (ii) the expiration date of the public and private warrants was extended to 5:00 p.m. (New York City time) on the earlier of (a)March 17, 2027, or (b) the date fixed for redemption of the PCT Warrants. These amendments are effective as of June 17, 2026.

The public warrants are accounted for as equity-classified warrants as they were determined to be indexed to the Company’s Common 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. As of March 31, 2026, approximately 187,000 of the private warrants have been transferred from the initial purchasers.

During the three months ended March 31, 2026,20,001 public warrants were exercised for total proceeds of $0.2 million.

Series A Warrants

On March 7, 2022, the Company issued approximately 17.9 million Series A warrants (the "Series A Warrants") to certain investors to purchase shares of the Company's Common Stock at a price of $11.50 per share. The Series A Warrants originally expired on March 17, 2026.

On February 20, 2026, the Company received the written consent of the holders of a requisite number of Series A Warrants to extend the expiration date of the Series A Warrants to March 17, 2027, or earlier upon redemption of the Series A Warrants. Additionally, the Company and the consenting Series A Warrant holders agreed to amend the terms of the Series A Warrants to reduce the trading price required for the Company to redeem such Series A Warrants from $18.00 to $14.38 per share of the Company’s Common Stock for any 20 trading days in a 30 trading day period.

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 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.

Series B Warrants

On May 10, 2024, the Company issued Series B Warrants to Pure Plastic to purchase an aggregate of 3.1 million shares of the Company's Common Stock (the “Series B Warrant Agreement”). 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 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 (the "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. 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 agreements governing the Series C 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 C Warrants that could result in a value 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.

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 the Company'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:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Expected annual dividend yield—%—%
Expected volatility99.4%101.5%
Risk-free rate of return3.7%3.7%
Expected option term (years)1.00.2

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 valuation date. 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.

A summary of the private warrants activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 is as follows:

Refer to Note 13 -Warrants for further information.

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:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Expected annual dividend yield—%—%
Expected volatility99.4%101.5%
Risk-free rate of return3.9%3.7%
Expected option term (years)4.74.9

The expected term of the Series B 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 valuation date. The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility calculated for the Company’s public warrants, which have similar characteristics to the Series B Warrants. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to bezero as the Company has not historically paid dividends on its Common Stock.

A summary of the Series B Warrants activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 is as follows:

Measurement of the Series C Warrants

The Series C Warrants meet the definition of derivative instruments and are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has determined the Series C 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:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025
Expected annual dividend yield—%—%
Expected volatility99.4%101.5%
Risk-free rate of return3.9%3.7%

The expected term of the Series C 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 valuation date. The expected volatility is based on the implied volatility calculated for the Company’s public warrants, which have similar characteristics to the Series C Warrants. The dividend yield on the Company’s warrants is assumed to bezero as the Company has not historically paid dividends on its Common Stock.

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:

March 31, 2026December 31, 2025(1)
Risk-free rate of return3.7%—%
Credit spread18.6%—%

(1)During June 2025, the Company announced its plans to construct the Thailand Facility, which 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 resulted in the likelihood of the Put Option being exercised as remote through the end of 2025. During 2026, the likelihood of the Company incurring indebtedness that would be secured by the assets of PureCycle Augusta, LLC became more than remote; accordingly, a fair value was measured and recorded as of March 31, 2026.

A summary of the Put Option activity from December 31, 2025 to March 31, 2026 is 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.

NOTE 15 – NET (LOSS)/EARNINGS PER SHARE

The Company follows the two-class method when computing net (loss)/income 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 dilutive effect for the Company's Green Convertible Notes and Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock is calculated using the "if-converted" method. The dilutive effect of all other instruments is calculated using the treasury stock method.

The computation for the basic and diluted (loss)/earnings per share for thethree months ended March 31, 2026 and 2025 are as follows:
