NARRATIVE
State below in reasonable detail the reasons why Forms 10-K, 20-F, 11-K, 10-Q, 10-D, N-CEN, N-CSR, or the transition report or portion thereof, could not be filed within the prescribed time period.
PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed due date for the reasons described below.
On October 7, 2020, the Southern Ohio Port Authority (“SOPA”) issued certain revenue bonds (the “Revenue Bonds”) pursuant to an Indenture of Trust dated as of October 1, 2020, between SOPA and UMB Bank, N.A., as trustee (“Trustee”) (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Indenture”), and loaned the proceeds from their sale to PureCycle: Ohio LLC, an Ohio limited liability company and indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“PCO”), pursuant to a loan agreement dated as of October 1, 2020 between SOPA and PCO (“Loan Agreement”), to be used to, among other things, acquire, construct and equip the Company’s first commercial-scale recycling facility in Lawrence County, Ohio (the “Ironton Facility”).
On February 10, 2024, PCO reached an agreement in principle with holders of a majority (the “Majority Holders”) of the SOPA Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020A (the “Series 2020A Bonds”), to purchase bonds held by the Majority Holders, as well as additional holders of the Series 2020A Bonds, the SOPA Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Tax-Exempt Series 2020B (the “Series 2020B Bonds), and the SOPA Subordinate Exempt Facility Revenue Bonds (PureCycle Project), Taxable Series 2020C (the “Series 2020C Bonds” and, together with the Series 2020A Bonds and the Series 2020B Bonds, the “Bonds”).
On February 23, 2024, PCO and the Majority Holders reached agreement on the form of Bond Purchase Agreement and Consent (“Purchase Agreement”) and Third Supplemental Indenture related to the purchase of the Bonds (the “Purchase”). The Third Supplemental Indenture will amend and supplement the Indenture, the Loan Agreement, and certain of the other financing documents entered into in connection with the Indenture and Loan Agreement by, among other things and without limitation, eliminating
substantially all covenants and Events of Default contained in the Indenture, the Loan Agreement and certain of such other financing documents. The Purchase is expected to close by March 4, 2024.
As a result of the expected timing of the closing of the Purchase and the entry into the Purchase Agreement and Third Supplemental Indenture, as well as the need to determine the precise amount of Bonds purchased to understand the impact on the financial statements and related information included in the Form 10-K, the Company requires additional time to finalize the financial statements and related information included in the Form 10-K. The Company is working diligently to complete the Form 10-K as soon as possible; however, the Company is unable to complete and file the Form 10-K by the required due date of February 29, 2024 without unreasonable effort and expense.
