H1 2024 Business Update 28 August 2024
Enabling the recycling of challenging post-use plastics into high-value, virgin-equivalent products.

First Mover in a Dynamic Market:
A 60% supply-demand imbalance for plastic waste feedstock and rapid growth of advanced recycling capacity creates room for 300+ Cyclyx facilities
Strategic Partner Validation:
Second project for investment-grade petrochemical partners confirms execution capability to produce advanced custom plastic feedstock
Clear Path to Cash Flow Generation:
Funded projects generate \$18.5 million annually net to Agilyx, allowing for a self funding growth model for future projects and AGLX reaching cash positive in 2026/27
Unique Investment
Opportunity:
A publicly traded, technology-agnostic channel for exposure to the rapidly growing advanced recycling sector
H1 Summary
secured offtake.

Lack of custom plastic feedstock is key industry bottleneck

Announced chemical recycling capacity exceeds circular feedstock by 60% or more
Companies in the chemical recycling value chain

Surging demand for feedstock creates potential for hundreds of CCCs
Agilyx is positioned to meet demand for advanced feedstock and CCC's
CCC demand towards 2040


Chemical Recycling expected to grow to 33mtpa by 2030 equivalent to 314 CCCs in mid scenario3

Investments in chemical recycling estimated to be >USD 40bn in 2030 and more than doubled >USD 90bn in 20403
High demand for feedstock from existing customers Extensive development need to meet

Selected client relationships

High opportunity to deliver CCCs to both existing and new customers
1) Assume CCC capacity of 178ktpa, with output of 105kpta for chemical recycling, in line with company indications; 2) Large petrochemical companies include: Dow, LyondellBasell, Borealis, Indorama Ventures, Braskem, SCG, TotalEnergies, SABIC, Lotte Chemical, INEOS, ExxonMobil, Advanced Drainage Systems, Chevron Phillips Chemical; 3) McKinsey | Advanced recycling: Opportunities for growth (May 2022) Source: BNEF, McKinsey, and companies (underlying data), DNB Markets equity research (further calculations)

CCC2 close to advancing to FID with long-term offtake from ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell

CCC2 Economics and flow of funds Cyclyx Circularity Center 2 - Road to FID
#1: Commitments from ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell
ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell have a strong underlying business rationale for investing in Cyclyx and will provide their pro-rata funding for the second Circularity Center
#2: Offtake structure negotiated
Agreement with ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell on a Cost+ model, providing Agilyx a 15% return on capital invested2
#3: Site selection
Cyclyx Circularity Center 2 is nearing site selection and expects the location to be the region of the US Gulf Coast
#4: Completion of site-specific engineering
Conduct engineering specific for the chosen location
#5: Cyclyx Board approval of FID
Final investment decision to be approved by the board and commit funding from Agilyx, ExxonMobil and LyondellBasell
1) The royalty fee is per pound, so at the expected throughput its USD 2.5m; 2) 15% IRR based on \$14.0m of proceeds per year on \$71.5m investment with \$10.5m directly at Agilyx and \$3.5m (50% x \$7.0M) at Cyclyx on 20 years life of plant. Initial offtake agreement 10 years plus 5-year renewal; 3) Construction cost could be revised down to \$131m by FID as rail infrastructure might not be necessary, in which case annual profit would be reduced from \$10.5m to \$9.2m p.a.

• Cyclyx sells output at a price computed based on its operating costs + a set margin
- With CCC1 and CCC2 running at steady state, Agilyx will generate cash flows of \$18.4m p.a. from offtake, royalties, and Cyclyx profits
- Subsequent CCCs will be funded by capacity reservations agreement, debt and operational cash flows
Cash flow from first two CCCs will fund, together with debt, roll-out of subsequent CCCs
