Plastic recycling technology for a sustainable future
Cyclyx Investment
26 October 2023
Agilyx is at a strategic inflection point and will accelerate scaling of Cyclyx
Market backdrop: Plastic recycling
Feedstock is the limiting factor – availability, classification and management of feedstock is the key for industrial scaling of chemical recycling
Chemically recycled polymer demand is estimated to be 20-40 million tons by 20301 , equivalent to >110 Cyclyx Circularity Centers at 178kta capacity

Implications for Agilyx's business model and development
- Agilyx has been incubating Cyclyx for over 5 years to prepare to meet this opportunity; Cyclyx is now ready for scale
- The transaction with LyondellBasell ("LYB") and ExxonMobil ("EM") has aligned Cyclyx with two strong JV partners to fully cover costs and risks of first major Cyclyx plant
- FID for the first Cyclyx Circularity Center (CCC#1) expected in the near term
- Cyclyx's business model will become Build-Own-Operate ("BOO") as well as licensing to meet significant near term scaling opportunity
- Agilyx is moving strategically to deploy capital and management resources towards rapid scaling of Cyclyx
- Continue to focus Agilyx on specific waste-to-product pathways where Agilyx's business model is unique, value accretive and where competition is limited
- Agilyx conversion business continues with its asset light approach with focus on delivering existing pipeline of high priority projects
- Investment from EM & LYB combined with recent capital raise will fund Agilyx and Cyclyx through 2024

Cyclyx positioned to solve industry-wide feedstock challenges 1a
Core strengths and focus Designed to handle all plastic; can serve the entire plastic recycling market with custom feedstock for all recycling technologies Enables Cyclyx to develop an investible, scalable business model Fully committed JV partners Moving forward with full scale feedstock investments Ambition for initial deployment of 5 key CCCs in large US metropolitan areas over the next few years ✓ ✓ ✓ Unique offering and substantial lead in the market set to capitalize on burgeoning/fast-growing demand for (plastic) waste feedstock 100% of polymers ~20-105mt p.a. Can be processed by Cyclyx ~110-590 plants Total addressable market by 2030 At 178kt p.a. capacity Opportunity for Cyclyx by 2030 Major companies taking actions to recycle plastic with feedstock being the limiting factor Cyclyx to address demand by making first-of-its-kind, advanced plastic feedstock processing facility, with CCC#1 Cyclyx positioned for growth
Recent capital raise supports transition and development of Cyclyx 1b
Increased demand for viable feedstock solutions - Cyclyx repositioning and moving towards full-scale investments to become a BOO-player

Cyclyx Circularity Center #1 is a first of its kind, fully funded industrial scale system unlocking the business opportunity, while still generating attractive earnings to Agilyx 1c
Cyclyx Circularity Center #1

Cyclyx gains first operating plant, de-risked and also profitable
Industrial scale and fully vetted after close engineering cooperation with LB and EM through 12 months of detailed planning and costing
All CAPEX risk borne by LYB and EM Operating risk mitigated by offtake agreements with EM and LYB for the life of the facility
CCC#1 will pay an annual USD 7m management fee to Cyclyx, and Agilyx´s ownership in Cyclyx entitles it to 50% of Cyclyx earnings
CCC#1 also pay USD ~2.5m p.a. in royalties direct to Agilyx for use of the background intellectual property
Strong contribution from CCC#1 when operational 2025

Future Cyclyx Circularity Centers with stronger underlying economics Cyclyx Centers
Agreement with EM and LYB provides opportunity for additional capacity to meet their feedstock requirements
- Offtake commitments from EM and LYB
- Agilyx has option to participate in future CCCs with EM and LYB at its discretion

- CCC#1: Agilyx is not investing in the asset, just shared services
- CCC#2 onwards: Investible return of ~15%
- Each 178kta CCC to generate royalties to Agilyx of USD ~2.5m pa
Significant growth opportunity with other customers
o New structure enables rapid scale up
- Cyclyx can build or license CCCs for other customers
- Agilyx can choose to participate
- o Agilyx does not take the operational risk in CCCs with EM and LYB and therefore returns are lower
- Significant opportunity to sell output at market returns
- Potential cash generation attributable to Agilyx USD ~30m p.a.2
- o Funding for subsequent CCCs likely to be through project or debt finance
- o All CCCs (licensed or BOO) will generate a volume-based royalty to Agilyx
- o Agilyx entitled to 50% of Cyclyx earnings
- Cyclyx will no longer be consolidated: will be accounted for using the equity method with projected \$200m carrying value

Note 1: This table reflects the Company's current projections of estimated annual cash generation based on CCC capacities of 178kta. Actual results may differ due to various factors outside the Company's control and the Company assume no obligation to update these estimates.
Note 2: Based on Agilyx 50% owning of each 178kta plant with all feedstock being sold at market rate
Agilyx focusing on core strengths and acceleration of project pipeline 2
Core strengths and focus

Technology developed and demonstrated over 19 years and 8 generations; core is an electrified pyrolysis reactor that can be used with different types of waste plastic per customer need

Differentiated in "waste-to-product" space; conversion of plastic waste to a tradable product - no need for intermediate steps. Technology partners Technip (TruStyrenyx); BioBTX; Mitsubishi

Asset-light business model provides flexibility to address multiple opportunities with limited capital deployment. Extensive pipeline of opportunities
