Li-Cycle to Increase Hub Facility’s Input Processing Capacity by Over 40%, to Meet Increasing Market Demand

Li-Cycle and LG Enter into non-binding Letter of Intent for “Closed-Loop” Commercial Agreements to Recycle their Battery Materials and Offtake Battery-Grade Nickel over 10 Years

LG to make a $50 million Equity Investment in Li-Cycle upon Completion of Commercial Agreements

Completed Hub Expected to Position Li-Cycle as a Leading Producer of Battery Grade Nickel, Cobalt, and Lithium in North America

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (NYSE: LICY) (“Li-Cycle” or “the Company”), a North American leader in lithium-ion battery resource recovery, today announced that it will proceed with the construction of its first commercial Hub facility, which is being developed within the Eastman Business Park near Rochester, New York (the “Hub”).

In view of rapidly growing demand for lithium-ion battery recycling, Li-Cycle will increase the input processing capacity of the Hub by over 40%, from 25,000 tonnes to 35,000 tonnes of “black mass” annually (equivalent to approximately 90,000 tonnes of lithium-ion battery equivalent feed annually). With its increased capacity, the Hub will be able to process battery material that is equivalent to approximately 225,000 electric vehicles (“EVs”) per year.

The Company estimates that the Hub will require a total capital investment of approximately $485 million (+/-15%), which can be funded from existing balance sheet cash. Li-Cycle also expects to explore various opportunities to optimize its capital structure, for example, with potential credit from government-related institutions.

The Hub will be fully integrated with Li-Cycle’s existing network of Spoke facilities across North America. Li-Cycle’s Spoke facilities take in end-of-life batteries and battery manufacturing scrap to produce “black mass”, an intermediate product containing valuable metals such as nickel, cobalt and lithium. The Hub will transform that black mass into critical battery grade materials to be returned back to the lithium-ion battery supply chain. Li-Cycle’s Spoke facilities will be the primary suppliers of feedstock for the Hub. Once the Hub is fully operational, Li-Cycle expects to be the #1 or #2 domestic U.S. based supplier of battery grade advanced materials.

The total addressable market for lithium-ion battery recycling in North America continues to accelerate as battery manufacturers are investing to build the supply chain to support electrification. Megafactory investments are now projected to surpass 500 GWh capacity by 2025, approximately 11x the current capacity. Based on independent industry forecasts (including from Benchmark Mineral Intelligence) and Li-Cycle’s internal analysis, Li-Cycle estimates that there could be nearly 250,000 tonnes of lithium-ion batteries available for recycling from manufacturing scrap in North America alone by 2025. Upsizing the Hub enhances the Company’s ability to meet the increasing commercial needs of leading global customers within the lithium-ion battery supply chain.

“We believe the upsizing of our commercial Hub facility is timely, to capture growth from heightened demand with the mainstreaming of electrification in North America driving significant new battery megafactory deployments. Even with the increased capital investment, we expect the Hub project to deliver highly accretive returns,” said Li-Cycle’s President, CEO, and co-founder, Ajay Kochhar. “This is an exciting time for Li-Cycle as we advance the strategic execution on our integrated Spoke & Hub network and enable critical commercial solutions to the growing needs for domestic supply of battery materials in North America.”

Multi-Year Strategic Collaboration with LG

Li-Cycle, LG Chem, Ltd. (“LGC”) and LG Energy Solution, Ltd. (“LGES”) entered into a manufacturing scrap supply and nickel sulphate off-take agreement non-binding letter of intent. With this proposed collaboration, LGES and Li-Cycle intend to cooperate on recycling nickel-bearing lithium-ion battery scrap and certain other lithium-ion battery materials to create a closed-loop ecosystem. Over a ten-year period, beginning in 2023, Li-Cycle will supply LGES and LGC with 20,000 tonnes of nickel contained in nickel sulphate from our Rochester Hub facility.

Concurrently with the entering into of definitive commercial agreements for such collaboration, LGC and LGES together will make a $50 million equity investment in Li-Cycle at a price of $11.32/per common share, upon completion of the commercial agreements by March 13, 2022. These proposed commercial arrangements and the investment represent a strong validation of Li-Cycle’s business model by one of the premier global strategic players in the lithium-ion battery space.

Project Highlights

Through close collaboration with customers on their demand and product needs, Li-Cycle has finalized and approved the Definitive Feasibility Study for the Hub, including a fully-loaded estimated capital investment of approximately $485 million (+/-15%). The larger Hub optimizes project economics and capital intensity and includes best-in-class environmental improvements.

Key design and cost changes relative to a June 2020 preliminary feasibility study largely include, but are not limited to: 1) higher material costs due to increased size and supply chain inflationary impacts; 2) scope alterations responding to contracted feed supplies and implementing best-in-class environmental practices; and 3) up-sizing of nameplate output capacity of the Hub, resulting in¹ ~250% higher Hub output capacity of nickel sulphate (~42,000 to 48,000 tonnes per annum), ~160% higher output capacity of lithium carbonate (~7,500 to 8,500 tonnes per annum), and ~65% lower output capacity of cobalt sulphate (~6,500 to 7,500 tonnes per annum).

The Company has engaged Hatch Ltd. as its engineering, procurement and construction management (EPCM) contractor for the project and is in the process of selecting its general contractor. Procurement has commenced on long-lead items and firm-price competitive quotes have been obtained for 80% of the required equipment for the Hub. Li-Cycle is on path to begin the Hub construction by year-end 2021 and to reach mechanical completion, commissioning and start-up in 2023, subject to receipt of remaining regulatory and other approvals.

Conference Call/Webcast Details:

Li-Cycle management will provide an update on the LG strategic collaboration and Hub upsizing during a conference call and audio-only webcast scheduled for today Tuesday, December 14, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time.

Continued Expansion of Building Customers Supports Growing Recurring Revenue Base

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–$KNR #esg—Kontrol Technologies Corp. (NEO:KNR) (OTCQB:KNRLF) (FSE:1K8) (“Kontrol” or the “Company”), a leader in smart building technology, secured multi-year service agreements for 18 new buildings. The multi-year service agreements add to Kontrol’s growing recurring revenue base.

“We continue to scale our business by adding new customers and by expanding the scope of our solutions with existing customers in our service and building asset management platform,” said Paul Ghezzi, CEO of Kontrol Technologies. “Our value proposition allows us to win competitive bid opportunities while maintaining our focus on scaling organically within our existing client base. Taking a methodical approach to growing our ecosystem of connected buildings provides us with visibility into our business as we continue to capture market share and drive sustainable growth for our shareholders.”

Ongoing Building Service

Kontrol provides ongoing service and asset management for a growing number of commercial and multi-residential REITs (real estate investment trusts) and property managers. Under the terms of a typical engagement, Kontrol provides exclusive ongoing service, asset management and mission-critical solutions for heating, cooling, and ventilation (HVAC) systems. The typical service engagement ranges from a period of 2 to 3 years and provides Kontrol with recurring revenues. The new buildings are located in Ontario, Canada and include the addition of a new portfolio customer.

SmartSuite® Technology Update

Kontrol’s SmartSuite® technology has been recently updated to provide peak shaving and peak demand management, an enhancement implemented in direct response to requirements by local utilities and customers.

Peak demand is a term describing periods in which electrical or utility power is expected to be provided for a period at a much higher than average supply level and associated rates. Peak demand fluctuations may occur on daily, monthly, seasonal, and yearly cycles, and are generally logged in 15-minute intervals by local utilities.

Avoiding these peak demand periods can often result in a lower overall cost of energy as local utilities seek to either reward good energy consumers or provide incentives for solutions which help mitigate peak demand from consumers.

“We continue to grow and evolve our multi-technology energy management platform to drive value for our customers by delivering energy savings and emissions reductions, while maintaining a clear focus on helping our customers achieve their sustainability targets,” concluded Ghezzi.

SmartSuite® delivers in-suite energy management and real-time control of any HVAC system through a proprietary Internet of Things (IoT), wireless and cloud-based technology.

Kontrol Technologies Corp.

Kontrol Technologies Corp., a Canadian public company, is a leader in smart buildings and cities through IoT, Cloud and SaaS technology. Kontrol provides a combination of software, hardware, and service solutions to its customers to improve energy management, air quality and continuous emission monitoring.

Mr. Stéphane Amine, President of the REIT, announced today, “We have closed the sale of Jeuneurs in Paris, France, which the REIT has held since its initial public offering in 2013. Jeuneurs is a seven story 50,400 square foot, fully occupied office building located in the central business district of Paris, originally constructed in 1890 and whose single tenant lease is maturing on August 31, 2023. The $104.5 million (€71.2) million gross sale price represents a $64.9 million (€44.2) million increase over the acquisition price (excluding acquisition costs) and a $35.5 million (€24.2) million premium to fair market value at December 31, 2020. We are very pleased to crystallize the exceptional value gain, confirming once again the REIT’s strategy to partially capitalize on the sale of existing older assets in order to renew the portfolio with more modern and accretive assets. The REIT is currently considering different acquisition opportunities, including but not limited to the remaining joint ventures, with the objective of deploying all the available capital in the near future.”

Inovalis REIT provides access to investors to unique quality real estate in strategic locations. In November 2021 the recently appointed Board of Trustees and management toured the Paris and Madrid main office markets in advance of finalizing the implementation of the REIT’s capital redeployment plan. In that regard, the Board of Trustees has decided to postpone the decision to distribute 50% of all incremental profit to unitholders until mid-2022. By such time, the Board would have assessed all the available investment opportunities and will have a clear idea on the necessary capital required for such investment.

TORONTO–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Peak Power, a Canadian company building AI-powered solutions for the clean energy future throughout North America, announces a partnership with Mohawk College to ensure safe indoor air quality in schools. Peak Power installed its Peak Insight Indoor Air Quality (IAQ) platform adjacent to Nerva Energy’s REME HALO (RH) air purifiers in three Grand Erie District School Board (GEDSB) elementary schools. Peak’s platform is validating the efficacy of the air purifiers by monitoring indoor air quality.

The Peak Insight IAQ platform consists of both indoor air quality-measuring sensors and Peak Power’s secure, scalable, and intelligent building optimization software. The Peak Insight sensor arrays monitor for key IAQ metrics such as carbon dioxide, volatile organic compounds (TVOC), particulate matter, humidity, temperature, and ozone. The platform also considers factors that may increase viral transmission and will notify users when building occupants are at risk, an especially important element as students return to schools throughout 2021 and 2022.

Peak Power established a baseline of indoor air quality in the GEDSB schools by installing its sensor arrays in five classrooms per school prior to the installation of the REME air purifiers. The system is continuing to provide interval data that is refreshed every five minutes on Peak Power’s Peak Insight platform for mobile or desktop. The platform displays detailed measurements across one or multiple zones of a building. Reporting and visualisation via an easy-to-read dashboard identifies localised areas of concern and provides real-time insights and alerts allowing for targeted remediation. It provides insight at the classroom, individual school, and district level.

After several months of monitoring during the 2021-2022 school year, the Peak Insight IAQ platform showed that the air purifiers installed improved the indoor quality by as much as 22% post installation. The IAQ score, which is based on air quality standards from the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) and measures contaminants such as CO₂ and PM 2.5, went from 65% to 87% as validated by Peak Power.

“The well-being of students, teachers, and staff is of utmost importance, and we want to ensure the healthiest learning conditions for our partners in the Grand Erie District School Board,” said Tony Cupido, Research Chair of Sustainable Building Technologies IDEAWORKS at Mohawk College. “Peak Power’s Peak Insight IAQ platform is a great way for us to track indoor air quality in classrooms, which are currently being purified thanks to the REME HALO technology. We are helping to set the safety standards for schools everywhere.”

Peak Power provides energy efficiency insights and actionable alerts for commercial real estate buildings through its Peak Insight platform. In response to the growing demand for air quality monitoring amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Peak Power expanded its platform to include the Indoor Air Quality module and offer it as a standalone product.The flexible solution addresses the needs of organizations such as school boards focused on the indoor air quality of their buildings and the safety of occupants.

“Schools are an excellent application for our Peak Insight IAQ module,” said Cristina Barlow, Director of Partnerships at Peak Power. “Schools should offer an environment that fully supports the well-being of students, teachers, and staff. Thanks to Mohawk College, GEDSB schools will benefit from clean air this school year. We’re happy to partner with Mohawk College to provide the tools to continuously monitor the air quality of the classrooms with RH purifiers.”

The Peak Power Peak Insight IAQ project with GEDSB will run for 12 months. Following the conclusion of the pilot, Peak Power and GEDSB will consider opportunities to extend the program.
