The current designee of Pure Crown that has been elected to the Board of Directors of the Issuer is Tanya Burnell.
In connection with the Merger, Pure Crown also entered into an Investor Rights Agreement (the "Investor Rights Agreement"), by and among the Issuer, Pure Crown and the other investors in Issuer party thereto, the form of which was filed as Exhibit 10.19 to Issuer's Form S-1 filed with the SEC on November 30, 2020 and is filed as Exhibit 6.2 to this Schedule 13D. Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, Pure Crown agreed to:
(i) vote in favor of two board designees nominated by a majority of certain stockholders of Roth CH for a period of two years following the consummation of the Merger, provided that if holders of a majority of the holders of the pre-PIPE private placement shares (the "Pre-PIPE Shares") choose to select one of the designees (which they may do so long as they hold at least 10% of the Common Stock), then the second designee will be appointed by a majority of the aforementioned Roth CH stockholders, and
(ii) not transfer any Common Stock received as consideration in the Merger ("Merger Consideration Stock") except (A) from and after the six-month anniversary of the consummation of the Merger, up to 20% of Pure Crown's Merger Consideration Stock, (B) from and after the one-year anniversary of the consummation of the Merger, up to 30% of Pure Crown's Merger Consideration Stock and (C) from and after the Issuer's first commercial-scale plant in Ironton, Ohio becoming operational, up to an additional 50% of Pure Crown's Merger Consideration, with such lockup described in this item (ii) terminating no later than April 15, 2023.
The Investor Rights Agreement also provides that the Issuer is obligated to file, after it becomes eligible to use Form S-3 or its successor form, a shelf registration statement to register the resale by the Common Stock holders for Common Stock issuable in connection with the Business Combination and that the other Common Stock holders party to the Investor Rights Agreement may upon demand exercise "piggy-back" and Form S-3 registration rights, subject to certain minimum requirements and customary conditions.
The Series A Warrant is filed as an Exhibit to this Schedule 13D as Exhibit 6.3. Unless redeemed earlier in accordance with its terms, the Series A Warrant expires on March 17, 2026 and provides Pure Crown with the right to acquire the Warrant Shares for an exercise price of $11.50 per share and are redeemable at a price of $0.01 per Series A Warrant if the last sales price of the Common Stock has been equal to or greater than $18.00 per share (subject to adjustments for stock splits, dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events) for any twenty trading days within a thirty trading day period commencing after the Series A Warrant becomes exercisable. The Series A Warrants became exercisable beginning on the calendar day following the six month anniversary of the date of the issuance. The Series A Warrant includes adjustment mechanisms that would adjust the number of shares of Common Stock issuable thereunder as a result of certain corporate events detailed therein (such as the occurrence of a stock dividend, stock split or similar transaction, the issuance of rights to purchase or acquire stock, warrants, or similar rights subsequent to the issuance of the Series A Warrant, or the occurrence of fundamental corporate events such as a merger or other business combination, or the acquisition of the equity interests of another person or entity).
The rights of the Series B Preferred Stock is governed by that certain Certificate of Designations of Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock of PureCycle Technologies, Inc., which was filed as Exhibit 3.11 to the Issuer's Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 23, 2025 and is filed as Exhibit 6.4 to this Schedule 13D (the "Series B Certificate of Designation"). The Series B Preferred Stock is senior to the Common Stock and any other class or series of capital stock of the Issuer the terms of which do not expressly provide that is senior to or in parity with the Series B Preferred Stock (other than the Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer) as to dividend rights and rights upon certain liquidation events, junior to the Series A Preferred Stock of the Issuer and any other senior securities of the Issuer, and junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer. The Series B Preferred Stock is not voting except for certain enumerated negative consent rights, which may be exercised a majority of the then-outstanding Series B Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of certain liquidation events, the Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to receive a liquidation preference, senior to any junior securities, equal to (a) the sum of (i) the original issue price for such share ($1,000) (as adjusted for dividends paid in-kind and accreted) and the greater of (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share, or (b) the amount the holder thereof had received if such shares had been converted into Common Stock immediately prior to such liquidation event. The shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock are convertible at the option of the holder into shares of the Issuer's Common Stock, at a conversion rate equal to (a) the sum of (i) the original issue price for such share (as adjusted for dividends paid in-kind and accreted) and (ii) all accrued and unpaid dividends on such share divided by (b) the then-applicable conversion price. The Series B Convertible Preferred Stock accrues cumulative dividends at a rate of 7% per annum, payable in kind or cash at the Issuer's option quarterly in arrears, and dividends that that accrue on the Series B Preferred Stock that are not paid in cash or in-kind as permitted, compound quarterly as of the end of each calendar quarter. In the event of a change in control, holders of the Series B Preferred Stock may require the Issuer to redeem, or the Issuer may redeem, the Series B Preferred Stock for cash at the accrued value of the Series B Preferred Stock at the time of redemption. The Issuer has the right to convert the Series B Preferred Stock into Common Stock after the third anniversary of the closing date if certain trading price conditions are met. Conversions of the Series B Preferred Stock (whether optional or mandatory) that would result in the holder thereof beneficially owning in excess of 19.99% of the then-outstanding stockholder voting power are subject to a further stockholder approval prior to such conversion. The Series B Preferred Stock is subject to customary anti-dilution adjustment mechanisms.

Except for the Merger Agreement, the 2022 Subscription Agreement, the 2025 Subscription Agreement, and the foregoing materials in this Item 6, to the knowledge of the Reporting Person, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) among the Reporting Person and the Issuer, with respect to any securities of the Issuer, including, but not limited to, transfer or voting of any of the securities, finders fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
