"The consummation of this transaction represents yet another major milestone for PureCycle, demonstrating broad market validation of our value proposition," said PureCycle Chairman and CEO Mike Otworth. "Most importantly, we now have the increased capital market access to support the accelerated scaling required to revolutionize the transformation of waste polypropylene into sustainable products."

Purecycle, an Innventure company, uses proprietary technology licensed from Procter & Gamble to recycle waste polypropylene (PP) into virgin-like recycled PP for myriad applications. The company is the intersection of an enabling technology meeting a compelling global need: only approximately 1% of the 170 billion pounds of polypropylene consumed last year was recycled as compared to almost 20% for polyethylene terephthalate (PET), according to the American Chemistry Council.

"We are incredibly excited to complete our business combination with PureCycle," said Byron Roth, chairman and CEO of Roth CH. "PureCycle's revolutionary and proprietary technology to recycle waste polypropylene into virgin-like resin is not only transformative, but also beneficial to our planet. We are confident that PureCycle has the resources to deliver substantial value for all stakeholders."

Perella Weinberg Partners and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. acted as financial advisors to PureCycle. Jones Day acted as legal advisor to PureCycle and Loeb & Loeb acted as legal advisor to Roth CH.

Transaction Overview
The business combination will enable PureCycle to build additional capacity beyond its Ironton, Ohio facility to deliver desired volumes to PureCycle's customers.

"Over the last three months, PureCycle has further developed its financial and manufacturing capabilities," Otworth continued. "This is now an execution game for PureCycle. It's incumbent on us to pull forward the best, most knowledgeable leaders to ensure that we realize the full potential of this technology. In addition to the rapid expansion of our world-class executive team, I am quite pleased with the addition of Fernando Musa, Tim Glockner and Jeffrey Fieler to our board to further enhance our growth, bringing additional finance and manufacturing expertise."

Michael Dee, PureCycle's chief financial officer, noted that over the last year PureCycle has raised over $730 million in a variety of sources and from an "extraordinary group of highly sophisticated investors" who share the PureCycle vision, in a variety of financial transactions. This capital will be mostly dedicated to PureCycle's expansion and corporate development in the coming year and provides a solid financial footing for the future of this revolution in the ability to recycle polypropylene.
