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.

Formation and Organization

PCT was formed as a Delaware limited liability company on September 15, 2015, as Advanced Resin Technologies, LLC. In November 2016, the Company changed its name from Advanced Resin Technologies, LLC to PureCycle Technologies LLC (“PCT LLC” and “Legacy PCT”).

Business Combination

On March 17, 2021, PCT consummated a business combination (“Business Combination”) by and among Roth CH Acquisition I Co., a Delaware corporation (“ROCH”), Roth CH Acquisition I Co. Parent Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ROCH (“ParentCo”), Roth CH Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Parent Co, Roth CH Merger Sub Corp., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo and PCT LLC pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 16, 2020, as amended from time to time (the “Merger Agreement”).

Upon the completion of the Business Combination and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (the “Transactions”, and such completion, the “Closing”), ROCH changed its name to PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ParentCo, PCT LLC became a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of PureCycle Technologies Holdings Corp. and a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of ParentCo, and ParentCo changed its name to PureCycle Technologies, Inc. The Company’s

Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share ("Common Stock"), units and public warrants are now listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) under the symbols “PCT,” “PCTTU” and “PCTTW,” respectively.

Legacy PCT unitholders will be issued up to 2.0 million additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock if certain conditions are met (the "Earnout”). The Legacy PCT unitholders will be entitled to 2.0 million shares upon the Ironton Facility becoming operational, as certified by Leidos Engineering, LLC (“Leidos”), an independent engineering firm, in accordance with criteria established in agreements in connection with construction of the plant.

Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company,” and “PCT,” refer to PureCycle Technologies, Inc., and its subsidiaries at and after the Closing and give effect to the Closing. “Legacy PCT”, “ROCH” and “ParentCo” refer to PureCycle Technologies LLC, ROCH and ParentCo, respectively, prior to the Closing.
