Insights
PureCycle refinances a large portion of its 7.25% converts with new 4.75% notes and equity.
PureCycle completed concurrent offerings of $287.5 million 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2032 and 19,854,000 common shares at $8.21, yielding aggregate net proceeds of about $432.5M. The notes’ initial conversion price is about $11.08, a 35% premium to the equity offering price.
The company plans to use approximately $246.3M to repurchase about $216.0M principal amount of 7.25% Green Convertible Notes due 2030, extending maturities and lowering the coupon on this portion of its debt. Remaining proceeds are earmarked for additional Green Convertible Note repurchases and general corporate purposes.
This transaction shifts part of the capital structure from a higher-coupon, nearer-term convertible into a lower-coupon, longer-dated one while adding equity. Actual dilution and leverage impact will depend on future share price performance and any further repurchases the company chooses to execute.

Convertible Senior Notes Offering
Underwriting Agreement
On June 10, 2026, PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Notes Underwriting Agreement”) with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, as representative (in such capacity, the “Notes Representative”) of the several underwriters named in Schedule I thereto (the “Notes Underwriters”) pursuant to which the Company agreed to issue and sell to the Notes Underwriters $250.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “Initial Notes”) in a registered offering under the Securities Act (as defined below) (the “Notes Offering”). The Company also granted the Notes Underwriters an option under the Notes Underwriting Agreement to purchase up to an additional $37.5 million in aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “Additional Notes”, and together with the Initial Notes, the “Notes”), solely to cover over-allotments, which the Notes Underwriters exercised in full on June 11, 2026, bringing the total aggregate principal amount of the Notes issued and sold to the Notes Underwriters in the Notes Offering to $287.5 million. The Notes Offering closed on June 15, 2026.
The Notes Underwriting Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company. It also provides customary indemnification by each of the Company and the Notes Representative for losses, claims, damages or liabilities arising out of or in connection with the Notes Offering, including for liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Notes Underwriting Agreement, the Company’s directors, executive officers and specified affiliates of such directors entered into lock-up agreements providing for a 60-day “lock-up” period with respect to sales of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “common stock”), and securities that are convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for common stock, subject to certain exceptions.
The Notes Offering was made pursuant to the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-296672) (the “Registration Statement”), which was filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2026 and became effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act, as supplemented by a prospectus supplement, dated June 10, 2026, and filed with the SEC on June 12, 2026.
The net proceeds from the Notes Offering were approximately $278.3 million, after deducting the Notes Underwriters’ discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses, and after giving effect to the exercise of the option to purchase the Additional Notes.
The foregoing description of the Notes Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by the full text of the Notes Underwriting Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
Indenture
In connection with the issuance of the Notes, the Company entered into an Indenture, dated June 15, 2026 (the “Base Indenture”), among the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee, as supplemented by a first supplemental indenture, dated June 15, 2026 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”).
The Notes will mature on July 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased. The Notes will bear interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum from June 15, 2026, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2027.
Holders of the Notes may convert all or any portion of their Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion, the Company will pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election. The conversion rate will initially be 90.2242 shares of common
stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $11.08 per share of common stock, which represents a conversion premium of approximately 35.0% above the Offering Price (as defined below) per share of common stock). The conversion rate will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. In addition, following certain corporate events described in the Indenture that occur prior to the maturity date, or upon the issuance of a notice of redemption (as described below), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its Notes in connection with such a corporate event or elects to convert its Notes called (or deemed called) for optional redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.
The Company may not redeem the Notes prior to July 6, 2029. The Company may redeem for cash all or any portion of the Notes (subject to certain limitations specified in the Indenture), at its option, on a redemption date on or after July 6, 2029, if the last reported sale price per share of common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Company provides a notice of redemption to the holders of the Notes, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date. No sinking fund is provided for the Notes.
On July 8, 2030, or if the Company undergoes a “Fundamental Change” (as defined in the Indenture), then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a Specified Repurchase Date Repurchase Price or Fundamental Change Repurchase Price (each as defined in the Indenture), as applicable, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.
The Indenture includes customary covenants and sets forth certain events of default after which the Notes may be declared immediately due and payable and sets forth certain types of bankruptcy or insolvency events of default involving the Company after which the Notes become automatically due and payable. The events of default, as set forth in the Indenture and subject in certain cases to customary grace and cure periods, include customary events including a default in the payment of principal or interest, failure to comply with the obligation to deliver amounts due upon conversion, failure to give certain notices, failure to comply with the obligations in respect of certain merger transactions, failure to comply with certain other covenants, defaults under certain other indebtedness and judgments and certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency.
The descriptions of the Indenture and the Notes contained herein are qualified in their entirety by reference to the text of the Base Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.1 and the First Supplemental Indenture filed as Exhibit 4.2 (including the form of the Notes included in Exhibit 4.2) to this Current Report on Form 8-K, each of which is incorporated herein by reference.

Investment entities affiliated with Daniel Gibson and Sylebra Capital Management are greater than 5% beneficial owners of the common stock.
The Company anticipates that the Repurchases will settle on or about June 15, 2026. Upon settlement of the Repurchases, the aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Green Convertible Notes outstanding is expected to be reduced to approximately $34.0 million.

Exhibit 99.1
PureCycle Announces Closing of Concurrent Public Offerings of Convertible Senior Notes and Common Stock
ORLANDO, Fla. — June 15, 2026 — PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (“PureCycle” or the “Company”) (NASDAQ: PCT) today announced the closing of its previously announced public offerings of $287.5 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% convertible senior notes due 2032 (the “notes” and, such offering, the “Notes Offering”) and 19,854,000 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock Offering” and, together with the Notes Offering, the “Offerings”), which included $37.5 million aggregate principal amount of notes issued to the underwriters in the Notes Offering pursuant to the exercise in full of their over-allotment option, and 2,283,800 shares of common stock issued to the underwriters in the Stock Offering pursuant to the exercise in full of their option to purchase additional shares of common stock.
Morgan Stanley acted as sole bookrunner for each of the Offerings.
The Offerings were made pursuant to an automatically effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-296672), previously filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 10, 2026 that became effective upon filing pursuant to Rule 462(e) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”). The Offerings were made only by means of prospectus supplements and accompanying prospectuses. The final prospectus supplements and accompanying prospectuses relating to the Offerings have been filed with the SEC and are available free of charge on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov. Copies of the final prospectus supplements and accompanying prospectuses relating to the Offerings may also be obtained from: Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, Attention: Prospectus Department, 180 Varick Street, 2nd Floor, New York, New York 10014.
The notes are general unsecured obligations of PureCycle and will accrue interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum, from June 15, 2026. The notes are payable semi-annually in arrears on January 1 and July 1 of each year, beginning on January 1, 2027. The notes will mature on July 1, 2032, unless earlier converted, redeemed or repurchased.
Holders may convert their notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. PureCycle will settle conversions by paying or delivering, as applicable, cash, shares of its common stock or a combination of cash and shares of its common stock, at PureCycle’s election. The initial conversion rate is 90.2242 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $11.08 per share of common stock. The initial conversion price represents a premium of approximately 35% above the Offering Price (as defined below) in the Stock Offering. The conversion rate and conversion price will be subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, following certain corporate events that occur prior to the maturity date or if PureCycle delivers a notice of redemption, PureCycle will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its notes in connection with such a corporate event or convert its notes called (or deemed called) for redemption during the related redemption period, as the case may be.
PureCycle may not redeem the notes prior to July 6, 2029. PureCycle may redeem for cash all or any portion of the notes (subject to certain limitations), at PureCycle’s option, on a redemption date on or after July 6, 2029, if the last reported sale price per share of PureCycle’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for a specified period of time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
On July 8, 2030, or if PureCycle undergoes a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the notes), then, subject to certain conditions and exceptions, holders may require PureCycle to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a specified repurchase date repurchase price or fundamental change repurchase price, as applicable, equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the relevant repurchase date.
The aggregate net proceeds from the Offerings were approximately $432.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. The Company expects to use approximately $246.3 million of net proceeds to repurchase approximately $216.0 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Company’s 7.25% Green Convertible Senior Notes due 2030 (the “Green Convertible Notes”) in privately negotiated transactions entered into concurrently with the pricing of the Notes Offering. The Company anticipates that the repurchases of the Green Convertible Notes will settle on or about June 15, 2026. The Company expects to use the remaining net proceeds to repurchase additional Green Convertible Notes from time to time and for working capital and other general corporate purposes.
This announcement is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy any of these securities and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale is unlawful. This announcement does not constitute an offer to buy, or the solicitation of an offer to sell, any of the Green Convertible Notes.
