Proxy Statement/Prospectus, dated            
and first mailed to stockholders on or about            
To the Stockholders of Roth CH Acquisition I Co.:
You are invited to attend a special meeting (the “Special Meeting”) of the stockholders of Roth CH Acquisition I Co. (“ROCH”) relating to the agreement and plan of merger, dated November 16, 2020 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and among Roth CH Acquisition I Co. Parent Corp. (“ParentCo”), ROCH, Roth CH Merger Sub Corp. (“Merger Sub Corp”), Roth CH Merger Sub LLC (“Merger Sub LLC”) and PureCycle Technologies LLC (“PCT”). This document is both a proxy statement/prospectus containing information about ROCH’s special meeting of stockholders and a prospectus of ParentCo with respect to the securities to be issued to ROCH’s securityholders and equityholders of PCT in the Business Combination (as defined below).
ParentCo, Merger Sub Corp and Merger Sub LLC are newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement. ParentCo is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ROCH and both Merger Sub LLC and Merger Sub Corp are wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of ParentCo. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, at closing, each of the following transactions will occur in the following order: (i) Merger Sub Corp will merge with and into ROCH (the “RH Merger”), with ROCH surviving the RH Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “ROCH Surviving Company”); (ii) simultaneously with the RH Merger, Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into PCT (the “PCT Merger”), with PCT surviving the PCT Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “Surviving Company”); and (iii) following the PCT Merger, ParentCo will contribute to the Surviving Company the proceeds of the PIPE Investment, other than the par value of the Common Stock, which will have been disbursed to ROCH, within two days following the Closing, and ROCH Surviving Company will acquire, and ParentCo will contribute to ROCH Surviving Company all of the common units of the Surviving Company directly held by ParentCo after the PCT Merger (the “ParentCo Contribution”), such that, following the ParentCo Contribution, Surviving Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ROCH Surviving Company (the RH Merger and the PCT Merger, together with the other transactions related thereto, the “Business Combination”). Upon closing of the Business Combination, the name of ParentCo is expected to change to PureCycle Technologies, Inc.
PCT’s ground-breaking patented recycling process, developed by Procter & Gamble and licensed to PCT, separates color, odor and contaminants from plastic waste feedstock to transform it into ultra-pure recycled polypropylene. PCT’s recycling service converts waste plastic into virgin-like plastic, fully closing the loop on the reuse of recycled plastics while making recycled polypropylene more accessible at scale to companies desiring to use a sustainable, recycled resin. ROCH is a blank check company formed for the purpose of acquiring, through a merger, stock exchange, asset acquisition, reorganization or similar business combination, one or more operating businesses.
If ROCH stockholders approve the Business Combination Proposal (as defined below) and the parties consummate the Business Combination: (i) the holders of shares of ROCH’s common stock (“ROCH Common Stock”) issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Business Combination (other than any redeemed shares) will receive one share of common stock of ParentCo (“ParentCo Common Stock”) in exchange for each share of ROCH Common Stock held by them, (ii) the holders of each whole warrant to purchase ROCH Common Stock will receive one warrant to purchase ParentCo Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share and (iii) the equity holders of PCT may receive an aggregate of up to 87,500,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock, subject to adjustment as more fully described herein. As a result of the Business Combination, PCT will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo.
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, ROCH entered into the Founder Support Agreement (the “Founder Support Agreement”), dated November 16, 2020 with certain holders of the

TABLE OF CONTENTS
Founder Shares (as defined below), pursuant to which, among other things, such holders agreed to approve the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.
Contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain securityholders of PCT entered into the Company Support Agreement, pursuant to which such securityholders of PCT agreed to approve the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination.
It is anticipated that, upon completion of the Business Combination, ROCH’s existing stockholders, will own approximately 8.3% of the outstanding shares of ParentCo Common Stock, that PCT’s existing securityholders will own approximately 70.6% of the outstanding shares of ParentCo Common Stock, and approximately 21.1% of the outstanding shares of ParentCo Common Stock will be held by certain institutional and accredited investors who have committed to purchase shares of ROCH Common Stock, which will be immediately exchanged for shares of ParentCo Common Stock in connection with the closing of the Business Combination, for a purchase price paid to ParentCo of $10.00 per share (less the applicable par value thereof, which shall be paid to ROCH), in a private placement. These percentages are calculated based on a number of assumptions and are subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement. These relative percentages assume that none of ROCH’s existing Public Stockholders (as defined below) exercise their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination. If any of ROCH’s Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, or any of the other assumptions underlying these percentages become inaccurate, these percentages may vary from the amounts shown above. Please see “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for further information.
In addition to the proposal to approve the Business Combination, stockholders are being asked to approve a proposal regarding the issuance of shares in order to comply with certain listing rules imposed by NASDAQ, a proposal to adopt and approve the PureCycle Technologies, Inc. 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”) for ParentCo, and a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting in the event ROCH does not receive the requisite number of votes to approve the Business Combination. Each of these proposals has been unanimously approved by the ROCH Board of Directors.
ParentCo is applying to have its common stock, warrants and units listed on NASDAQ under the symbols PCT, PCTTW and PCTTU, respectively. ROCH’s common stock, warrants and units are listed on NASDAQ under the symbols ROCH, ROCHW and ROCHU, respectively.
Pursuant to ROCH’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation, ROCH is providing its Public Stockholders with the opportunity to redeem their shares of Common Stock (“Public Shares”) for cash equal to their pro rata share of the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account, which holds the proceeds of ROCH’s initial public offering, as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to ROCH to pay ROCH’s franchise and income taxes and for working capital purposes, upon the consummation of the Business Combination. For illustrative purposes, based on funds in the Trust Account of approximately $76,528,652.26 on November 9, 2020, the estimated per share redemption price would have been approximately $10.00. Public Stockholders may elect to redeem their Public Shares even if they vote for the Business Combination Proposal. A Public Stockholder, together with any of his, her or its affiliates or any other person with whom it is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), will be restricted from redeeming his, her or its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the outstanding Public Shares. Holders of ROCH’s outstanding warrants do not have redemption rights with respect to such warrants in connection with the Business Combination. All of the holders of ROCH’s Founder Shares have agreed to waive their redemption rights with respect to such shares and any shares of Common Stock that they may have acquired during or after ROCH’s initial public offering (“IPO”) in connection with the completion of the Business Combination. The Founder Shares will be excluded from the pro rata calculation used to determine the per-share redemption price.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
             ,     , as the date for determining ROCH stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting.

If you fail to return your proxy card or instruct your broker or bank how to vote, your shares will not be counted for purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting.

After careful consideration of all relevant factors, ROCH’s Board of Directors has determined that these proposals are fair to and in the best interests of ROCH and its stockholders, and has recommended that you vote or give instruction to vote “FOR” each of them.

an initial business combination by November 7, 2021, ROCH will be required to dissolve and liquidate, unless ROCH seeks stockholder approval to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to extend the date by which the Business Combination may be consummated. The approval of the Equity Plan is a condition of the consummation of the Business Combination.
Q:
How will the Initial Stockholders vote?
A:
Pursuant to a letter agreement, dated May 7, 2020, the Initial Stockholders, who as of November 20, 2020 owned 2,183,000 shares of Common Stock, or approximately 22.2% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, agreed to vote their respective shares of Common Stock acquired by them prior to the IPO and any shares of Common Stock purchased by them in the open market in or after the IPO in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and related Proposals (“Letter Agreement”). The Initial Stockholders have also agreed that they will vote any shares of Common Stock they purchase in the open market in or after the IPO in favor of each of the Proposals.
On November 16, 2020, in connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Initial Stockholders each entered into a support agreement (the “Founder Support Agreement”) with ROCH, ParentCo and PCT, pursuant to which each of such Initial Stockholders agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of each of the Proposals, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Business Combination and to not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the Business Combination set forth in the Merger Agreement.
Q:
How many votes do I and others have?
A:
You are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock that you held as of the Record Date. As of the close of business on the Record Date, there were 9,828,000 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote.
Q:
What is the consideration being paid to PCT Unitholders?
A:
Under the Merger Agreement, the consideration for the Business Combination includes the Closing Share Consideration (as defined below), the assumption of all indebtedness of PCT as of the Closing Date (the “Assumed Indebtedness”), including an aggregate of approximately $300 million of indebtedness (the “Target Indebtedness Level”) incurred by PCT in October 2020 in connection with the construction of an industrial process facility (the “Construction Indebtedness”), and up to an additional 4 million shares of ParentCo Common Stock in the event certain thresholds are reached.
Q:
Do any of ROCH’s directors or officers have interests that may conflict with my interests with respect to the Business Combination?
A:
In considering the recommendation of the Board to approve the Merger Agreement, ROCH stockholders should be aware that certain ROCH executive officers and directors may be deemed to have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, those of ROCH stockholders generally. These interests, which may create actual or potential conflicts of interest, are, to the extent material, described in the sections entitled “ROCH Directors and Management” and “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions of ROCH” beginning on pages 149 and 153.

Q:

Q:
What is the quorum requirement for the Special Meeting?
A:
Stockholders representing a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting must be present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy in order to hold the Special Meeting and conduct business. This is called a quorum. Shares of our Common Stock will be counted for purposes of determining if there is a quorum if the stockholder (i) is present by virtual attendance and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting or (ii) has properly submitted a proxy card or voting instructions through a broker, bank or custodian. In the absence of a quorum, stockholders representing a majority of the votes present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting may adjourn the meeting until a quorum is present.
Q:
Am I required to vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to have my Public Shares redeemed?
A:
No. You are not required to vote against the Business Combination Proposal in order to have the right to demand that ROCH redeem your Public Shares for cash equal to your pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (before payment of deferred underwriting commissions and including interest earned on their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, net of taxes payable). These rights to demand redemption of Public Shares for cash are sometimes referred to herein as “redemption rights”. If the Business Combination is not completed, holders of public shares electing to exercise their redemption rights will not be entitled to receive such payments and their shares of Common Stock will be returned to them.
Q:
How do I exercise my redemption rights?
A:
If you are a Public Stockholder desiring to exercise your redemption rights in respect of your Public Shares, you must complete the following steps no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time, two business days before the Special Meeting: (i) demand that ROCH redeem your shares into cash; (ii) submit your request in writing to Continental, at the address listed at the end of this section; and (iii) deliver your shares to Continental physically or electronically using The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian) System.
Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by Continental two business days before the Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s Public Shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental at least two business days before the Special Meeting.
ROCH stockholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination and whether or not they are holders of Common Stock as of the Record Date.
The actual per share redemption price will be equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account (before payment of deferred underwriting commissions and including interest earned on their pro rata portion of the Trust Account, net of taxes payable), divided by the number of shares of common stock underlying the ROCH Units sold in the IPO.

Q:
How can I vote?
A:
If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote online at the virtual Special Meeting or vote by proxy using the enclosed proxy card or the Internet. Whether or not you plan to participate in the Special Meeting, we urge you to vote by proxy to ensure your vote is counted. Even if you have already voted by proxy, you may still attend the virtual Meeting and vote online, if you choose.
To vote online at the virtual Special Meeting, follow the instructions above under “How do I attend the Special Meeting?”
To vote using the proxy card, please complete, sign and date the proxy card and return it in the prepaid envelope. If you return your signed proxy card before the Special Meeting, we will vote your shares as you direct.
To vote via the Internet, please go to http://www.cstproxy.com/rothacquisitionsm.2020, and follow the instructions. Please have your proxy card handy when you go to the website. Easy-to-follow prompts will allow you to confirm that your instructions have been properly recorded.
Internet voting facilities for stockholders of record will be available 24 hours a day until 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on            ,     . After that, Internet voting will be closed, and if you want to vote your shares, you will either need to ensure that your proxy card is received before the date of the Special Meeting or attend the virtual Special Meeting to vote your shares online.
If your shares are registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you are the “beneficial owner” of those shares and those shares are considered as held in “street name.” If you are a beneficial owner of shares registered in the name of your broker, bank or other agent, you should have received a proxy card and voting instructions with these proxy materials from that organization rather than directly from us. Simply complete and mail the proxy card to ensure that your vote is counted. You may be eligible to vote your shares electronically over the Internet or by telephone. A large number of banks and brokerage firms offer Internet and telephone voting. If your bank or brokerage firm does not offer Internet or telephone voting information, please complete and return your proxy card in the self-addressed, postage-paid envelope provided.
If you are the “beneficial owner” of Common Stock and you plan to vote those shares at the virtual Special Meeting, you will need to contact Continental at the phone number or email below to receive a control number and you must obtain a legal proxy from your broker, bank or other nominee reflecting the number of shares of common stock you held as of the Record Date, your name and email address. You must contact Continental for specific instructions on how to receive the control number. Please allow up to 48 hours prior to the Special Meeting for processing your control number.
After obtaining a valid legal proxy from your broker, bank or other agent, to then register to attend the Special Meeting, you must submit proof of your legal proxy reflecting the number of your shares along with your name and email address to Continental. Requests for registration should be directed to 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com. Requests for registration must be received no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on            ,     .
You will receive a confirmation of your registration by email after we receive your registration materials. We encourage you to access the Special Meeting prior to the start time leaving ample time for the check in.

Q:
Who can help answer any other questions I might have about the virtual Special Meeting?
A.
If you have any questions concerning the virtual Special Meeting or need help voting your shares of Common Stock, please contact Continental at 917-262-2373 or email proxy@continentalstock.com or Advantage Proxy at Toll Free: 1-877-870-8565; Collect: 1-206-870-8565; or by email at ksmith@advantageproxy.com.
The Notice of Special Meeting, Proxy Statement and form of Proxy Card are available at: https://www.cstproxy.com/rothchacquisition/sm2020.
Q:
If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, brokerage firm or nominee, will they automatically vote my shares for me?
A:
No. If you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any Proposal for which your broker does not have discretionary authority to vote. If a proposal is determined to be discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. If a proposal is determined to be non-discretionary, your broker, bank or other holder of record is not permitted to vote on the proposal without receiving voting instructions from you. A “broker non-vote” occurs when a bank, broker or other holder of record holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a non-discretionary proposal because the holder of record has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner.
Each of the Proposals to be presented at the Special Meeting is a non-discretionary proposal. Accordingly, if you are a beneficial owner and you do not provide voting instructions to your broker, bank or other holder of record holding shares for you, your shares will not be voted with respect to any of the Proposals. A broker non-vote would have no effect on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the NASDAQ Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal as such shares are not “entitled to vote” regarding such matters.
Q:
What if I abstain from voting or fail to instruct my bank, brokerage firm or nominee?
A:
ROCH will count a properly executed proxy marked “ABSTAIN” with respect to a particular Proposal as present for the purposes of determining whether a quorum is present at the Special Meeting. For purposes of approval, an abstention on any Proposal will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” such Proposal.
Q:
If I have not yet submitted a proxy, may I still do so?
A.
Yes. If you have not yet submitted a proxy, you may do so by (a) visiting https://www.cstproxy.com/rothchacquisition/sm2020 and following the on screen instructions (have your proxy card available when you access the webpage), or (b) calling toll-free 1 877-770-3647 in the U.S. and Canada or : +1 312-780-0854 (standard rates apply) from foreign countries from any touch-tone phone and follow the instructions (have your proxy card available when you call), or (c) submitting your proxy card by mail by using the previously provided self-addressed, stamped envelope.
Q:
Can I change my vote after I have mailed my proxy card?
A:
Yes. You may change your vote at any time before your proxy is voted at the Special Meeting. You may revoke your proxy by executing and returning a proxy card dated later than the previous one, or by attending the virtual Special Meeting in person and casting your vote or by voting again by the Internet voting options described below, or by submitting a written revocation stating that you would like to revoke your proxy that our proxy solicitor receives no later than two business days prior to the Special Meeting. If you hold your shares of Common Stock through a bank, brokerage firm or nominee, you should follow the instructions of your bank, brokerage firm or nominee regarding the revocation of

Advantage Proxy
Toll Free: 1-877-870-8565
Collect: 1-206-870-8565
Email: ksmith@advantageproxy.com
Unless revoked, a proxy will be voted at the virtual Special Meeting in accordance with the stockholder’s indicated instructions. In the absence of instructions, proxies will be voted FOR each of the Proposals.
Q:
What will happen if I return my proxy card without indicating how to vote?
A:
If you sign and return your proxy card without indicating how to vote on any particular Proposal, the shares of Common Stock represented by your proxy will be voted FOR each of the Proposals. Proxy cards that are returned without a signature will not be counted as present at the Special Meeting and cannot be voted.
Q:
Should I send in my share certificates now to have my shares of Common Stock redeemed?
A:
ROCH stockholders who intend to have their Public Shares redeemed should send their certificates to Continental at least two business days before the Special Meeting. Please see “The ROCH Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to exercise your right to have your Public Shares redeemed for cash.
Q:
Who will solicit the proxies and pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting?
A:
ROCH will pay the cost of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting. ROCH has engaged Advantage Proxy to assist in the solicitation of proxies for the Special Meeting. ROCH has agreed to pay Advantage Proxy a fee of $7,500, plus disbursements, and will reimburse Advantage Proxy for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and indemnify Advantage Proxy and its affiliates against certain claims, liabilities, losses, damages, and expenses. ROCH will also reimburse banks, brokers and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries representing beneficial owners of Common Stock for their expenses in forwarding soliciting materials to beneficial owners of the Common Stock and in obtaining voting instructions from those owners. Our directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies by telephone, by facsimile, by mail, on the Internet or in person. They will not be paid any additional amounts for soliciting proxies.
Q:
What happens if I sell my shares before the Special Meeting?
A:
The Record Date for the Special Meeting is earlier than the date of the Special Meeting, as well as the date that the Business Combination is expected to be consummated. If you transfer your shares of Common Stock after the Record Date, but before the Special Meeting, unless the transferee obtains from you a proxy to vote those shares, you would retain your right to vote at the Special Meeting, but will transfer ownership of the shares and will not hold an interest in ROCH after the Business Combination is consummated.
Q:
When is the Business Combination expected to occur?
A:
Assuming the requisite regulatory and stockholder approvals are received, ROCH expects that the Business Combination will occur as soon as possible following the Special Meeting.
Q:
Are PCT Unitholders required to approve the Business Combination?
A:
Yes. The approval of the PCT Unitholders will be required to consummate the Business Combination.
Q:
Are there risks associated with the Business Combination that I should consider in deciding how to vote?
A:
Yes. There are a number of risks related to the Business Combination and other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, that are discussed in this proxy statement/prospectus. Please

read with particular care the detailed description of the risks described in “Risk Factors” beginning on page 18 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Q:
May I seek statutory appraisal rights or dissenter rights with respect to my shares?
A:
No. Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of common stock in connection with the proposed Business Combination. For additional information, see the section entitled “The ROCH Special Meeting — Appraisal Rights.
Q:
What happens if the Business Combination is not consummated?
A:
If ROCH does not consummate the Business Combination by November 7, 2021 (unless such date has been extended as described herein) then pursuant to Article VI of its Certificate of Incorporation, ROCH’s officers must take all actions necessary in accordance with the Delaware General Corporation Law to dissolve and liquidate ROCH as soon as reasonably practicable. Following dissolution, ROCH will no longer exist as a company. In any liquidation, the funds held in the Trust Account, plus any interest earned thereon (net of taxes payable), together with any remaining out-of-trust net assets, will be distributed pro-rata to holders of shares of common stock who acquired such shares in the IPO or in the aftermarket. The estimated consideration that each share of Common Stock would be paid at liquidation would be approximately $10.00 per share based on amounts on deposit in the Trust Account as of November 9, 2020. The closing price of the Common Stock on NASDAQ as of November 16, 2020 was $10.50. The Initial Stockholders waived the right to any liquidation distribution with respect to any shares of Common Stock held by them.
Q:
What happens to the funds deposited in the Trust Account following the Business Combination?
A:
Following the closing of the Business Combination, holders of Public Shares exercising their redemption rights will receive their per share redemption price out of the funds in the Trust Account. As of November 9, 2020, there was approximately $76,528,652.26 in the Trust Account. ROCH estimates that investors validly exercising their redemption rights in connection with the Business Combination will receive approximately $10.00 per share. The balance of the funds will be released to PCT to fund working capital needs of the Combined Company.
Q:
Who will manage the Combined Company after the Business Combination?
A:
As a condition to the closing of the Business Combination, all of the officers and directors of ROCH will resign, other than            , who will serve as a director of the Combined Company, subject to certain closing conditions. For information on the anticipated management of the Combined Company, see the section entitled “ParentCo Management and Governance After the Business Combination — Executive Officers and Directors After the Business Combination” in this proxy statement/prospectus.

PureCycle Technologies LLC, or PCT, is commercializing a patented purification recycling technology (the “Technology”), originally developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”), for restoring waste polypropylene into resin with near-virgin characteristics. PCT refers to this as resin ultra-pure recycled polypropylene (“UPRP”), which has nearly identical properties and applicability for reuse as virgin polypropylene. PCT has a global license for the technology from P&G. PCT intends to build its first commercial-scale plant in Ironton, Ohio (referred to herein as “Plant 1” or the “Phase II Facility”), which is expected to have nameplate capacity of approximately 107 million pounds/year when fully operational. Production is expected to commence in late 2022 and the plant is expected to be fully operational in 2023. PCT has secured and contracted all of the feedstock and product offtake for this initial plant. PCT’s goal is to create an important new segment of the global polypropylene market that will assist multinational entities in meeting their sustainability goals, provide consumers with polypropylene-based products that are sustainable, and reduce overall polypropylene waste in the world’s landfills and oceans.

the virtual Special Meeting as described under “The ROCH Special Meeting — How to Attend the Special Meeting.” The Special Meeting is being held to consider and vote upon and approve the Business Combination Proposal, the NASDAQ Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal.
Terms of the Business Combination
The Business Combination will be structured as a “double dummy” transaction, pursuant to which:
(a)
Each of ParentCo, Merger Sub Corp and Merger Sub LLC are newly formed entities that were formed for the sole purpose of entering into and consummating the transactions set forth in the Merger Agreement. ParentCo is a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of ROCH and both Merger Sub LLC and Merger Sub Corp are wholly-owned direct subsidiaries of ParentCo.
(b)
At Closing, each of the following transactions will occur in the following order: (i) ParentCo will complete the RH Merger, with ROCH surviving the RH Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “ROCH Surviving Company”); (ii) simultaneously with the RH Merger, ParentCo will complete the PCT Merger with PCT surviving the PCT Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “Surviving Company”); and (iii) following the PCT Merger, ParentCo will contribute to the Surviving Company the proceeds of the PIPE Investment, other than the par value of the Common Stock, which will have been disbursed to ROCH, within two days following the Closing, and ROCH Surviving Company will acquire, and ParentCo will contribute to ROCH Surviving Company (the “ParentCo Contribution”) all common units of the Surviving Company directly held by ParentCo after the PCT Merger, such that, following the ParentCo Contribution, Surviving Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ROCH Surviving Company.
The Aggregate Consideration payable to the members of PCT in connection with the Business Combination consists of the Closing Share Consideration, the Contingency Consideration and the assumption of all indebtedness of PCT as of the Closing Date (the “Assumed Indebtedness”), including indebtedness related to (a) the Revenue Bonds and (b) the Convertible Notes and other indebtedness used to fund the construction of an industrial process facility in Ironton, Ohio (collectively, the “Construction Indebtedness”). As of the Record Date, there were approximately           holders of record of PCT Units.
(a)
The Closing Share Consideration
The Closing Share Consideration for PCT Unitholders is the number of shares of ParentCo Common Stock, par value $0.001 per share equal to the quotient of: (a) $835,000,000 divided by (b) $10.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Merger Agreement. Common Stock, Public Warrants and Public Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination will be exchanged for ParentCo Securities on a one-for-one basis, as will ROCH’s outstanding warrants and units.
(b)
Contingency Consideration
PCT Unitholders will be issued up to 4,000,000 additional shares of ParentCo Common Stock if certain conditions are met. Each of the “First Level Contingency Consideration” and “Second Level Contingency Consideration” is equal to 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock. The PCT Unitholders will be entitled to the First Level Contingency Consideration, if after six months after the Closing and prior to or as of the third anniversary of the Closing, the closing price of the ParentCo Common Stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period. The PCT Unitholders will be entitled to the Second Level Contingency Consideration upon the Phase II Facility becoming operational, as certified by an independent engineering firm in accordance with criteria established in connection with the incurrence of the Construction Indebtedness.
Upon the first Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to occur during the Earnout Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if the price per share paid or payable to the stockholders of ParentCo in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than $18.00, ParentCo will issue 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock. Upon the first Change in Control (substituting “80%” for “50%” in the definition thereof) to occur during the Earnout Period, if the price per share paid or payable to

the stockholders of ParentCo in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than $10.00 per share, ParentCo will issue 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock.
Other Agreements Relating to the Business Combination
Investor Rights Agreement
At the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, ParentCo, certain PCT Unitholders representing at least 70% of PCT’s outstanding membership interests and certain stockholders of ROCH (including certain ROCH officers, directors and sponsors) will also enter into an Investor Rights Agreement, which is a closing condition of the parties to consummate the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, such PCT Unitholders have agreed to vote in favor of two board designees nominated by a majority of such stockholders of ROCH for a period of two years following the Closing Date (the “IRA Designees”), provided that in the event a majority of the holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares (as defined below) choose to select one of the IRA Designees, the majority of such stockholders of ROCH will select one of the IRA Designees and such holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares will select the other. The holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares may continue to select an IRA Designee until they no longer hold 10% or more of the outstanding Combined Company’s Common Stock. Such PCT Unitholders have also agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer ParentCo Common Stock received in the Business Combination except as follows:

From and after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, each Founder (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) may sell up to 20% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to 33.34% of such PCT Unitholder’s ParentCo Common Stock.

From and after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, each Founder may sell up to an additional 30% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to an additional 33.33% of such PCT Unitholder’s ParentCo Common Stock.

From and after the Phase II Facility becoming operational, as certified by an independent engineering firm, each Founder may sell up to an additional 50% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to an additional 33.33% of such PCT shares of ParentCo Common Stock; provided that, in the case of Procter & Gamble, such lock-up will terminate in any event no later than April 15, 2023.
The Investor Rights Agreement also contains registration rights in favor of the PCT Unitholders and such ROCH stockholders which (in the case of the ROCH stockholders) are intended to replace the registration rights granted to them at the time of ROCH’s IPO.
Subscription Agreements and PIPE Registration Rights Agreement
In connection with the Business Combination, accredited investors (each a “Subscriber”) (i) have purchased prior to the date of the Merger Agreement membership units of PCT at an effective price per ParentCo Common Stock of approximately $8.35 per share for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $60 million (the “Pre-PIPE Shares”) in a private placement (the “Pre-PIPE Placement”) and (ii) have committed to purchase, on a transitory basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination, shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate cash amount of $250 million (the “PIPE Shares”) in a private placement (for purposes of this section, the “PIPE Placement”), all of which will be exchanged for ParentCo Common Stock in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. Certain offering related expenses are payable by ROCH and PCT, including customary fees payable to the placement agents: Roth Capital Partners, LLC, Craig-Hallum and Oppenheimer & Co. Inc. (“Oppenheimer”). Such commitments have been made by way of certain subscription or unit purchase agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), by and among each Subscriber and PCT or ROCH, as the case may be. The purpose of the sale of the Pre-PIPE Shares and the PIPE Shares is to raise additional capital for use in connection with the PCT business and the Business Combination and, in the case of the PIPE Shares, to meet the minimum cash requirements provided in the Merger Agreement. The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Placement were entered into

contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the proceeds will be deposited into escrow by the Subscribers will be released to ParentCo (other than the par value of the PIPE Shares, which will be released to ROCH) in connection with the issuance of ParentCo Common Stock as part of the RH Merger concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination.
The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of Common Stock that will be held by ROCH’s public stockholders at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination, other than the PIPE Shares, when initially issued by ROCH in connection with the PIPE Closing, may not be registered with the SEC.
The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Closing”) will be contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of and simultaneously with the consummation of the RH Merger. The PIPE Closing will be subject to customary conditions, including:

ParentCo’s initial listing application with NASDAQ in connection with the Business Combination shall have been approved and, immediately following the Closing of the Business Combination, ParentCo shall satisfy any applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of NASDAQ and ParentCo shall not have received any notice of non-compliance therewith, and the ParentCo Common Stock shall have been approved for listing on NASDAQ;

all representations and warranties of ROCH and the Subscriber contained in the relevant Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Subscription Agreements)), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at, and as of, the PIPE Closing;

as of the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of ROCH and its subsidiaries taken as a whole since the date of the Subscription Agreement (other than the election by holders of the ROCH Class A Common Stock to exercise redemption rights in connection with the special meeting of ROCH’s stockholders to approve the Business Combination); and

all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination, including the approval by ROCH’s stockholders, shall have been satisfied or waived.
Each applicable Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (w) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (x) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, (y) any of the conditions to the PIPE Closing are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the PIPE Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by such Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the PIPE Closing or (z) May 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, ROCH agreed to file (at ROCH’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the ParentCo Common Stock issuable in respect of the Pre-PIPE Shares and the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC no later than the 10th calendar day following the date ROCH first files this Proxy Statement/Prospectus with the SEC, unless such shares will be the subject of registration under this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. ROCH will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective at the same time that ROCH has cleared comments with the SEC on this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, but no later than the 60th calendar day following the Closing Date (or, in the event the SEC notifies ROCH that it will “review” the PIPE Resale Registration Statement, the 90th calendar day following the date thereof) (the “Effectiveness Date”).
Under certain circumstances, additional payments by ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) may be assessed with respect to the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares in the event that (i) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC by the closing date; (ii) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective or is suspended for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty (20) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period; or (iv) ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable)

fails for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act and the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares are not then registered for resale under the Securities Act during the period commencing from the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing and ending at such time that all of the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares may be sold without the requirement for ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The additional payments by ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) will accrue on the applicable Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares at a rate of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for such shares per month, subject to certain terms and limitations (including a cap of 6.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for such shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements).
Founder Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, certain of the Initial Stockholders entered into the Founder Support Agreement with ROCH, ParentCo, and PCT, pursuant to which such Initial Stockholders agreed to vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by them in favor of each of the Proposals, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Business Combination and to not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the Business Combination set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, such Initial Stockholders also agreed that they would not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Insider Shares (as defined therein) unless the buyer, assignee or transferee executes a joinder agreement to the Founder Support Agreement. We agreed that we would not register any sale, assignment or transfer of such Insider Shares on our transfer ledger (book entry or otherwise) that is not in compliance with the Founder Support Agreement.
Company Support Agreement
In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement, PCT Unitholders representing at least 70% of the issued and outstanding Company LLC Interests entered into the Company Support Agreement with ROCH, ParentCo, and PCT, pursuant to which such PCT Unitholders agreed to vote all LLC Interests beneficially owned by them in favor of each of the Proposals, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Business Combination and to not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the Business Combination set forth in the Merger Agreement. In addition, such PCT Unitholders also agreed that they would not sell, assign or otherwise transfer any of the Company LLC Interests held by them, with certain limited exceptions, unless the buyer, assignee or transferee executes a joinder agreement to the Company Support Agreement. We agreed that we would not register any sale, assignment or transfer of such Company LLC Interests on our transfer ledger (book entry or otherwise) that is not in compliance with the Company Support Agreement.
Voting Securities
As of the close of business on            ,      (the “Record Date”), there were 9,828,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. Only ROCH stockholders who hold shares of Common Stock of record as of the Record Date are entitled to vote at the Special Meeting or any adjournment thereof. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the NASDAQ Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Attending the Special Meeting either by virtual attendance or by submitting your proxy and abstaining from voting will have the same effect as voting against all the Proposals and, assuming a quorum is present, broker non-votes will have no effect on the Proposals.
With respect to the Business Combination, pursuant to the Founder Support Agreement, the Initial Stockholders holding an aggregate of 1.8 million shares of Common Stock have agreed to vote their respective shares of Common Stock in favor of each of the Proposals.

Appraisal Rights
Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the proposed Business Combination under Delaware law.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to the Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares. As of November 9, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per share.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)    (a) hold Public Shares, or
 (b) hold Public Shares through ROCH Units and you elect to separate your ROCH Units into the underlying Public Shares prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)    prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on            ,     , (a) submit a written request to Continental that ROCH redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.
Holders of outstanding ROCH Units must separate the underlying shares of Common Stock prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the shares. If the ROCH Units are registered in a holder’s own name, the holder must deliver the certificate for its ROCH Units to Continental, with written instructions to separate the ROCH Units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the ROCH Units.
If a holder exercises his/her redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging his/her Public Shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the Combined Company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Continental in accordance with the procedures described herein and the Business Combination is completed. Please see the section titled “The ROCH Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of adoption of the Business Combination Proposal and other proposals, you should keep in mind that ROCH’s and PCT’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder, including:

If a proposed Business Combination is not completed by November 7, 2021 (unless such date has been extended as described below), ROCH will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In such event, the 2,183,000 shares of Common Stock currently held by the Initial Stockholders, which were acquired prior to the IPO will be worthless because such holders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. Such shares of Common Stock had an aggregate market value of approximately $22.9 million based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $10.50 on NASDAQ as of November 16, 2020.

The exercise of ROCH’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the Business Combination may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

If the Business Combination is completed, PCT Unitholders will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the ParentCo board of directors following such completion and one ROCH director will be designated by the Initial Stockholders pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

Certain of PCT’s executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a stockholder, including (1) employment agreement provisions (including severance protection) that will go into effect upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (2) transaction-related bonus compensation, (3) ownership interests in PCT that will convert into common stock of the Combined Company as a result of the Business Combination, and (4) expected grants of equity awards covering Combined Company common stock that will be granted following the consummation of the Business Combination, all as discussed further below under “PCT Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements/Arrangements with our NEOs — New Employment Agreements,” “PCT Executive Compensation — Severance and Change in Control Compensation” and “ParentCo Management and Governance After the Business Combination.”

Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting ROCH will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business Combination, the PCT Unitholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, PCT will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, PCT will comprise a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and PCT’s senior management will comprise all of the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of PCT issuing shares for the net assets of ROCH, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCH will be stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of PCT.
Regulatory Approvals
Under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, which we refer to as the HSR Act, and the related rules and regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission, which we refer to as the FTC, certain transactions, including the Business Combination, may not be consummated until notifications have been given and specified information and documentary material have been furnished to the FTC and the United States Department of Justice, which we refer to as the DOJ, and the applicable waiting periods have expired or been terminated. The completion of the Business Combination is conditioned upon the expiration or early termination of the HSR Act waiting period. ROCH and PCT have each filed its respective notification and report forms under the HSR Act with the DOJ and the FTC. The initial 30-day waiting period will expire on           , 2020.

Summary of Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations
If a U.S. Holder exercises its redemption right to have its shares of Common Stock redeemed for cash, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such redemption will be subject to the following rules:

We expect that all redemptions of Common Stock will qualify as a sale or exchange under Section 302(a) of the Code, thus:

A U.S. Holder generally will recognize capital gain or loss in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized and the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares of Common Stock being redeemed.

The U.S. federal income tax rate on capital gains recognized by U.S. Holders generally is the same as the U.S. federal income tax rate on ordinary income, except that under tax law currently in effect, long-term capital gains recognized by non-corporate U.S. Holders are generally subject to U.S. federal income tax at reduced rates. Capital gain or loss will constitute long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder’s holding period for the securities exceeds one year. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to various limitations. U.S. Holders who recognize losses with respect to a redemption of our common stock should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax treatment of such losses.
If a U.S. Holder does not exercise its redemption right to receive cash for its shares of Common Stock, then, as a result of the Business Combination, we expect that such U.S. Holder should be treated as exchanging its Common Stock for the common shares of ParentCo pursuant to Section 351(a) and Section 354 of the Code. Generally, such U.S. Holder should not recognize any gain or loss.
For a more detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and the redemption to U.S. Holders, please carefully review the information set forth in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 80 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
If a non-U.S. Holder exercises its redemption right to have its Common Stock redeemed for cash, we expect that such redemption will be characterized as a sale or exchange transaction under Section 302(a) of the Code. Generally, if the redemption from such non-U.S. Holder is treated as a sale of the shares of Common Stock, then such non-U.S. Holder’s gain (or loss) from such sale will not be taxable in the United States, subject to certain exceptions as described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Non-U.S. Holders — Gain or Loss on Sale, Taxable Exchange or Other Disposition of ParentCo Securities.”
Generally, the U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination applicable to non-U.S. Holders who do not exercise their redemption rights are the same as the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to U.S. Holders who do not exercise their redemption rights, subject to certain exceptions described in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations — Non-U.S. Holders — The Business Combination.”
For a more detailed discussion of the material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the Business Combination and the redemption to non-U.S. Holders, please carefully review the information set forth in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” beginning on page 80 of this proxy statement/prospectus.
Recommendations of the Board and Reasons for the Business Combination
After careful consideration of the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, the Board has determined that Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby are fair to, and in the best interests of, ROCH and its stockholders. In reaching its decision with respect to the Business Combination and the transactions contemplated thereby, the Board reviewed various industry and financial data and the materials provided by PCT. The Board did not obtain a fairness opinion on which to base its assessment. The Board recommends that ROCH stockholders vote:

FOR the Business Combination Proposal;

FOR the NASDAQ Proposal;

FOR the Equity Plan Proposal; and

FOR the Adjournment Proposal.

PCT follows the two-class method when computing net loss per common units when units are issued that meet the definition of participating securities. The two-class method requires income available to common unitholders for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based upon their respective rights to receive dividends as if all income for the period had been distributed. The two-class method also requires losses for the period to be allocated between common and participating securities based on their respective rights if the participating security contractually participates in losses. As holders of participating securities do not have a contractual obligation to fund losses, undistributed net losses are not allocated to Class B Preferred Units, Class B-1 Preferred Units and Class C Units for purposes of the loss per unit calculation.

PCT defines working capital as total current assets minus total current liabilities.

SUMMARY UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The following summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (the “Summary Pro Forma Information”) gives effect to the Business Combination. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ROCH will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination will be reflected as the equivalent of PCT issuing stock for the net assets of ROCH, accompanied by a recapitalization whereby no goodwill or other intangible assets are recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of PCT. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet data as of September 30, 2020 gives effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on September 30, 2020. The summary unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations data for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and combined statements of operations data for the year ended December 31, 2019 give effect to the Business Combination as if it had occurred on January 1, 2019.
The following Summary Pro Forma Information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X as amended by the final rule, Release No. 33-10786 “Amendments to Financial Disclosures about Acquired and Disposed Businesses”. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the more detailed unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of the post-combination company appearing elsewhere in this proxy statement/prospectus and the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, the historical financial statements and related notes of ROCH and PCT for the applicable periods included in this proxy statement/prospectus. The Summary Pro Forma Information has been presented for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Company’s financial position or results of operations actually would have been had the Business Combination been completed as of the dates indicated. In addition, the Summary Pro Forma Information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of the Combined Company.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared using the assumptions below with respect to the potential redemption into cash of Common Stock:

Assuming Minimum Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that no Public Stockholders of ROCH exercise redemption rights with respect to their Public Shares for a pro rata share of the funds in the Trust Account.

Assuming Maximum Redemptions:   This presentation assumes that Public Stockholders holding 6.9 million of the Public Shares will exercise their redemption rights for their pro rata share (approximately $10.00 per share) of the funds in the Trust Account. This scenario gives effect to public share redemptions for aggregate redemption payments of $69.3 million using a per share redemption price of $10.00 per share. The Merger Agreement includes as a condition to closing the Business Combination that, at the closing, ROCH will have a minimum of $250.0 million in cash comprising (i) the cash held in the Trust Account after giving effect to ROCH share redemptions and proceeds from the PIPE Investment and (ii) a minimum of $5.0 million of net tangible assets. Additionally, this presentation also contemplates that ROCH’s Initial Stockholders have agreed to

SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS
Our business is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, including those highlighted in the section entitled “Risk Factors” immediately following this summary. Some of these principal risks include the following and may be further exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic:

Risks Related to PCT’s Business

PCT is an early commercial stage emerging growth company with no revenue, and may never achieve or sustain profitability.

PCT’s business is not diversified.

The License Agreement sets forth certain performance targets which, if missed, could result in a termination or conversion of the license granted under the License Agreement.

PCT’s outstanding secured and unsecured indebtedness (including at the Project level), ability to incur additional debt and the provisions in the agreements governing PCT’s debt, and certain other agreements, could have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

PCT’s projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, PCT’s projected revenues, expenses and profitability may differ materially from expectations.

PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19.

Construction of the Phase II Facility may not be completed in the expected timeframe or in a cost-effective manner. Any delays in the construction of the Phase II Facility could severely impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Initially, PCT will rely on a single facility for all of its operations.

There is no guarantee the Technology is scalable to commercial-scale operation.

PCT may be unable to sufficiently protect its proprietary rights and may encounter disputes from time to time relating to its use of the intellectual property of third parties.

PCT may not be successful in finding future strategic partners for continuing development of additional offtake and feedstock opportunities.

PCT’s failure to secure waste polypropylene could have a negative impact on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

Because PCT’s global expansion requires sourcing feedstock and supplies from around the world, including Europe, changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, import and excise duties, taxes or other governmental rules and regulations could adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.

The market for UPRP is still in the development phase and the acceptance of UPRP by manufacturers and potential customers is not guaranteed.

Certain of PCT’s offtake agreements are subject to index pricing, and fluctuation in index prices may adversely impact PCT’s financial results.

Competition could reduce demand for PCT’s products or negatively affect PCT’s sales mix or price realization.

PCT may not be able to meet applicable regulatory requirements for the use of PCT’s UPRP in food grade applications, and, even if the requirements are met, complying on an ongoing basis with the numerous regulatory requirements applicable to the UPRP and our facilities will be time-consuming and costly.

The operation of and construction of the Project is subject to governmental regulation.

Risks Related to Human Capital Management

PCT is dependent on management and key personnel, and PCT’s business would suffer if it fails to retain its key personnel and attract additional highly skilled employees.

While ROCH and PCT work to complete the business combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.
 
16

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

PCT’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.

Risks Related to ROCH’s Business and the Business Combination

ROCH will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account if it cannot consummate a business combination by the date that is 18 months from the closing of the IPO, or November 7, 2021. In the event of a liquidation, ROCH’s Public Stockholders will receive approximately $10.20 per share.

You must tender your Public Shares in order to validly seek redemption in connection with the Business Combination.

The Initial Stockholders who own shares of Common Stock will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate.

ROCH is requiring stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a proposed business combination to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights. Failure to comply with specific requirements for redemption may mean redeeming stockholders will be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not consummated.

If ROCH’s security holders exercise their registration rights with respect to their securities, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of ROCH’s securities.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the Combined Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.

ROCH may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination without resoliciting stockholder approval for the Business Combination.

ROCH’s stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of common stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ROCH’s current stockholders have on the management of the Combined Company.

The shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock to be received by ROCH’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of ROCH Common Stock.

If ROCH fails to consummate the PIPE, it may not have enough funds to complete the Business Combination.

Risks Related to the Combined Company’s Common Stock

There can be no assurance that the Combined Company’s Common Stock will be approved for listing on NASDAQ upon the Closing, or if approved, that the Combined Company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NASDAQ.

The exercise of registration rights may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock.

Future offerings of debt or offerings or issuances of equity securities by the Combined Company may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock or otherwise dilute all other stockholders.

General Risk Factors

Each of ROCH and PCT have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, consulting and financial advisory fees.

The Combined Company is an emerging growth company, and the Combined Company cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its shares less attractive to investors.

Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company.

RISK FACTORS
You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, before you decide whether to vote or direct your vote to be cast to approve the acquisition.
If the Business Combination is completed, the resulting Combined Company will be subject to a number of risks. You should carefully consider the risks described below and the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus before you decide how you want to vote on the merger proposal. Following the closing of the Business Combination, the market price of the Combined Company’s common stock could decline due to any of these risks, in which case you could lose all or part of your investment. In assessing these risks, you should also refer to the other information included in this proxy statement/prospectus, including the consolidated financial statements of ROCH and PCT and the accompanying notes. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be affected materially and adversely by any of the risks discussed below.
Risks Related to PCT’s Business
Risks Related to PCT’s Status as an Early Commercial Stage Emerging Growth Company
PCT is an early commercial stage emerging growth company with no revenue, and may never achieve or sustain profitability.
PCT is commercializing a recycling technology that was developed by The Procter & Gamble Company (“P&G”). P&G granted PCT a worldwide license under an Amended and Restated Patent License Agreement dated July 28, 2020, between P&G and PCT (the “License Agreement”) for a proprietary process of restoring waste polypropylene into ultra-pure recycled polypropylene (“UPRP”) through an extraction and filtration purification process (the “Technology”).
PCT relies principally on the commercialization of UPRP as well as the Technology and related licenses to generate future revenue growth. To date, such products and services have delivered no revenue. Also, UPRP product offerings and partnering revenues are in their very early stages. PCT believes that commercialization success is dependent upon the ability to significantly increase the number of production plants, feedstock suppliers and offtake partners as well as strategic partners that utilize UPRP and the Technology via licensing agreements. If demand for UPRP and the Technology does not increase as quickly as planned, PCT may be unable to increase revenue levels as expected. PCT is currently not profitable. Even if PCT succeeds in increasing adoption of UPRP products by target markets, maintaining and creating relationships with existing and new offtake partners, feedstock suppliers and customers, and developing and commercializing additional plants, market conditions, particularly related to pricing and feedstock costs, may result in PCT not generating sufficient revenue to achieve or sustain profitability.
PCT’s business is not diversified.
PCT’s initial commercial success depends on its ability to profitably operate the solid waste disposal facility and Feedstock Evaluation Unit (the “FEU” or the “Phase I Facility”) and its ability to complete construction and profitably and successfully operate its first commercial scale recycling facility (the “Phase II Facility” and, together with the Phase I Facility, the “Project”). The Project is located in Lawrence County, Ohio. Other than the future production and sale of UPRP, there are currently no other lines of business or other sources of revenue. Such lack of diversification may limit PCT’s ability to adapt to changing business conditions and could have an adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The License Agreement sets forth certain performance and pricing targets which, if missed, could result in a termination or conversion of the license granted under the License Agreement.
Pursuant to the License Agreement, P&G has granted PCT a license to utilize certain P&G intellectual property. The intellectual property is tied to the proprietary purification process by which waste polypropylene may be converted to UPRP, referred to as the Technology. The License Agreement sets forth certain performance targets for the Phase II Facility which, if missed, could result in a termination of the license

granted under the License Agreement (if PCT is unable to make UPRP at certain production volumes and at certain prices within a certain time frame). The License Agreement also sets forth certain performance and pricing targets for the Phase II Facility which, if missed, could result in conversion of the license to a non-exclusive license (if PCT’s UPRP is unable to meet certain purification thresholds within a certain period of time after the start of the Project or PCT is unable or unwilling to provide P&G with UPRP at certain prices from the first plant). In the event the License Agreement is terminated or converted to a non-exclusive license, this could have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT’s outstanding secured and unsecured indebtedness (including at the Project level), ability to incur additional debt and the provisions in the agreements governing PCT’s debt, and certain other agreements, could have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
As of September 30, 2020, after giving pro forma effect to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, the offering of the Revenue Bonds, and the issuance of $60 million of the Convertible Notes, PCT had total consolidated debt of $312.0 million, including $306.5 million of secured indebtedness (including $235.0 million of indebtedness at the Project level) and $5.5 million of unsecured indebtedness. PCT’s debt service obligations could have important consequences to the Combined Company for the foreseeable future, including the following: (i) PCT’s ability to obtain additional financing for capital expenditures, working capital or other general corporate purposes may be impaired; (ii) a substantial portion of PCT’s cash flow from operating activities must be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on PCT’s debt, thereby reducing the funds available to us for PCT’s operations and other corporate purposes; and (iii) we may be or become substantially more leveraged than some of PCT’s competitors, which may place us at a relative competitive disadvantage and make us more vulnerable to changes in market conditions and governmental regulations.
PCT is required to maintain compliance with certain financial and other covenants under its debt agreements. There are and will be operating and financial restrictions and covenants in certain of PCT’s debt agreements, including the Loan Agreement and the indenture governing PCT’s Convertible Notes, as well as certain other agreements to which PCT is or may become a party. These limit, among other things, PCT’s ability to incur certain additional debt, create certain liens or other encumbrances, sell assets, and transfer ownership interests and transactions with affiliates of PCT. These covenants could limit PCT’s ability to engage in activities that may be in PCT’s best long-term interests. PCT’s failure to comply with certain covenants in these agreements could result in an Event of Default (as defined therein) under the various debt agreements, allowing lenders to accelerate the maturity for the debt under these agreements and to foreclose upon any collateral securing the debt. An Event of Default would also adversely affect PCT’s ability to access its borrowing capacity and pay debt service on its outstanding debt, likely resulting in acceleration of such debt or in a default under other agreements containing cross-default provisions. Under such circumstances, PCT might not have sufficient funds or other resources to satisfy all of its obligations. In addition, the limitations imposed by PCT’s financing agreements on its ability to pay dividends, incur additional debt and to take other actions might significantly impair PCT’s ability to obtain other financing, generate sufficient cash flow from operations to enable PCT to pay its debt or to fund other liquidity needs. Such consequences would adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT’s projections are subject to significant risks, assumptions, estimates and uncertainties. As a result, PCT’s projected revenues, expenses and profitability may differ materially from expectations.
In connection with the Business Combination, the ROCH Board of Directors considered, among other things, internal financial forecasts for the post-Business Combination company. They speak only as of the date made and will not be updated. These financial projections are subject to significant economic, competitive, industry and other uncertainties, including availability of capital, and may not be achieved in full, at all or within projected timeframes. For example, the financial projections provided to the ROCH Board of Directors are derived in part from PCT’s projections of future UPRP production volumes. Those future production volumes include volumes associated with both current and projected feedstock sources. Projected feedstock sources and associated future production volumes and related future cash flows are inherently more uncertain than those related to current volumes, and the impact of that uncertainty increases for periods

further from the date of this proxy statement/prospectus. Further, as a result of unprecedented market disruption resulting from the global coronavirus (COVID-19), these projections are even more uncertain in terms of reflecting actual future results. In addition, the failure of PCT’s business to achieve projected results could have a material adverse effect on the Combined Company’s share price and financial position following the Business Combination.
Risks Related to PCT’s Operations
PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be adversely affected by the impact of the global outbreak of COVID-19.
The United States is being affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, the full effect of which on global financial markets as well as national, state and local economies is unknown. There can be no assurances as to the materiality, severity and duration of negative economic conditions caused by the pandemic.
In addition to keeping PCT employees healthy and safe, the immediate impact of COVID-19 on PCT relates to the challenges that PCT’s suppliers and contractors may be facing. PCT is a party to certain agreements, including construction contracts and certain long-term feedstock agreements that provide for the supply to PCT of post-industrial and post-consumer resin that contains polypropylene as feedstock with guaranteed minimum and maximum volumes at prices linked to an index for virgin polypropylene in a price schedule with collared pricing and a minimum price floor. The feedstock agreements contain typical provisions for termination by either party due to force majeure, breach of contract, and/or company insolvency. The impact of COVID-19 on such agreements, or the applicable agreements’ termination provisions, is uncertain, and could result in the termination of such agreements.
When PCT is producing UPRP, if the pandemic has not abated, the impact of COVID-19, while uncertain, could be manifested in the challenges faced by PCT’s customers. For example, certain UPRP is intended for use in consumer packaging by consumer goods companies, and there could be volatility in the packaged consumer goods market due to interruptions in consumer access to products resulting from government actions that impact the ability of those companies to produce and ship goods. Product demand trends caused by future economic trends are unclear. PCT has executed offtake agreements providing for a combined guaranteed minimum sale of 63 million pounds per year (“MMlb/yr.”) of UPRP and a maximum volume of 138 MMlb/yr at PCT’s option, which reduces the ability of PCT to quickly respond to changes caused by COVID-19, particularly as the amount of UPRP to be provided for sale under each offtake agreement is determined prior to each year as an annual volume commitment.
There may be additional unknown risks presented by the COVID-19 pandemic that could impact PCT’s operating results. For example, the deadly global outbreak and continuing spread of COVID-19 could have an adverse effect on the value, operating results and financial condition of PCT’s business; as well as the ability of PCT to maintain operations and grow revenue generated from offtake partners and customers and could delay or prevent completion of the Phase II Facility or result in additional costs or reduced revenues. In addition, the impact of COVID-19 is likely to cause substantial changes in consumer behavior and has caused restrictions on business and individual activities, which are likely to lead to reduced economic activity. Extraordinary actions taken by international, federal, state, and local public health and governmental authorities to contain and combat the outbreak and spread of COVID-19 in regions throughout the world, including travel bans, quarantines, “stay-at-home” orders, and similar mandates for many individuals and businesses to substantially restrict daily activities could have an adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Construction of the Phase II Facility may not be completed in the expected timeframe or in a cost-effective manner. Any delays in the construction of the Phase II Facility could severely impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The Project will constitute the first of its kind. Construction on the Project commenced in 2018 with the construction of the Phase I Facility comprised of the FEU, operating within an 11,000 square foot building located on the Project site. The FEU was brought online on July 1, 2019. Construction of the Phase II Facility has commenced, will include modifications to 150,000 square feet of existing buildings, utilities and the Project storage area, and is expected to be substantially completed by October 2022. The

Company might not be able to achieve completion of the Phase II Facility in the expected timeframe, in a cost-effective manner or at all due to a variety of factors, including, but not limited to, a stoppage of work as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak, unexpected construction problems or severe weather. Significant unexpected delays in construction could result in additional costs or reduced revenues, and it could limit the amount of UPRP PCT can produce, which could severely impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
The construction and commissioning of any new project is dependent on a number of contingencies some of which are beyond PCT’s control. There is a risk that significant unanticipated costs or delays could arise due to, among other things, errors or omissions, unanticipated or concealed Project site conditions, including subsurface conditions, unforeseen technical issues or increases in plant and equipment costs, insufficiency of water supply and other utility infrastructure, or inadequate contractual arrangements. Should significant unanticipated costs arise, this could have a material adverse impact on PCT’s business, financial performance and operations. No assurance can be given that construction will be completed, will be completed on time or will be completed at all, or as to whether PCT, which has provided a Guaranty of Completion of the Project, will have sufficient funds available to complete construction. If the Project is not completed, funds are not likely to be available to pay debt service on PCT’s outstanding debt.
Initially, PCT will rely on a single facility for all of its operations.
Initially, PCT will rely solely on the operations at the Project. Adverse changes or developments affecting the Project could impair PCT’s ability to produce UPRP and its business, prospects, financial condition and results of operations. Any shutdown or period of reduced production at the Project, which may be caused by regulatory noncompliance or other issues, as well as other factors beyond its control, such as severe weather conditions, natural disaster, fire, power interruption, work stoppage, disease outbreaks or pandemics (such as COVID-19), equipment failure or delay in supply delivery, would significantly disrupt PCT’s ability to grow and produce UPRP in a timely manner, meet its contractual obligations and operate its business. PCT’s equipment is costly to replace or repair, and PCT’s equipment supply chains may be disrupted in connection with pandemics, such as COVID-19, trade wars or other factors. If any material amount of PCT’s machinery were damaged, it would be unable to predict when, if at all, it could replace or repair such machinery or find co-manufacturers with suitable alterative machinery, which could adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Performance guarantees may not be sufficient to cover damages or losses, or the guarantors under such guarantees may not have the ability to pay. Any insurance coverage PCT has may not be sufficient to cover all of its potential losses and may not continue to be available to PCT on acceptable terms, or at all.
Cyber risk and the failure to maintain the integrity of PCT’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, or those of third parties with which PCT does business, could have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT is subject to an increasing number of information technology vulnerabilities, threats and targeted computer crimes which pose a risk to the security of its systems and networks and the confidentiality, availability and integrity of data. Disruptions or failures in the physical infrastructure or operating systems that support PCT’s businesses, offtake partners, feedstock suppliers and customers, or cyber attacks or security breaches of PCT’s networks or systems, could result in the loss of customers and business opportunities, legal liability, regulatory fines, penalties or intervention, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensatory costs, and additional compliance costs, any of which could materially adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. While PCT attempts to mitigate these risks, PCT’s systems, networks, products, solutions and services remain potentially vulnerable to advanced and persistent threats.
PCT also maintains and has access to sensitive, confidential or personal data or information in its business that is subject to privacy and security laws, regulations and customer controls. Despite PCT’s efforts to protect such sensitive, confidential or personal data or information, PCT’s facilities and systems and those of its customers, offtake partners, feedstock suppliers and third-party service providers may be vulnerable to security breaches, theft, misplaced or lost data, programming and/or human errors that could lead to the compromise of sensitive, confidential or personal data or information or improper use of PCT’s systems and software.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
PCT may be unable to sufficiently protect its proprietary rights and may encounter disputes from time to time relating to its use of the intellectual property of third parties.
PCT relies on its proprietary intellectual property, including numerous patents and registered trademarks, as well as its licensed intellectual property under the License Agreement and others to market, promote and sell UPRP products. PCT monitors and protects against activities that might infringe, dilute, or otherwise harm its patents, trademarks and other intellectual property and relies on the patent, trademark and other laws of the U.S. and other countries. However, PCT may be unable to prevent third parties from using its intellectual property without authorization. In addition, the laws of some non-U.S. jurisdictions, particularly those of certain emerging markets, provide less protection for PCT’s proprietary rights than the laws of the U.S. and present greater risks of counterfeiting and other infringement. To the extent PCT cannot protect its intellectual property, unauthorized use and misuse of PCT’s intellectual property could harm its competitive position and have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Despite PCT’s efforts to protect these rights, unauthorized third parties may attempt to duplicate or copy the proprietary aspects of its technology and processes. PCT’s competitors and other third parties independently may design around or develop similar technology or otherwise duplicate PCT’s services or products such that PCT could not assert its intellectual property rights against them. In addition, PCT’s contractual arrangements may not effectively prevent disclosure of its intellectual property and confidential and proprietary information or provide an adequate remedy in the event of an unauthorized disclosure. Measures in place may not prevent misappropriation or infringement of PCT’s intellectual property or proprietary information and the resulting loss of competitive advantage, and PCT may be required to litigate to protect its intellectual property and proprietary information from misappropriation or infringement by others, which is expensive, could cause a diversion of resources and may not be successful.
PCT also may encounter disputes from time to time concerning intellectual property rights of others, and it may not prevail in these disputes. Third parties may raise claims against PCT alleging that PCT, or consultants or other third parties retained or indemnified by PCT, infringe on their intellectual property rights. Some third-party intellectual property rights may be extremely broad, and it may not be possible for PCT to conduct its operations in such a way as to avoid all alleged violations of such intellectual property rights. Given the complex, rapidly changing and competitive technological and business environment in which PCT operates, and the potential risks and uncertainties of intellectual property-related litigation, an assertion of an infringement claim against PCT may cause PCT to spend significant amounts to defend the claim, even if PCT ultimately prevails, pay significant money damages, lose significant revenues, be prohibited from using the relevant systems, processes, technologies or other intellectual property (temporarily or permanently), cease offering certain products or services, or incur significant license, royalty or technology development expenses.
Moreover, it has become common in recent years for individuals and groups to purchase intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from companies such as PCT. Even in instances where PCT believes that claims and allegations of intellectual property infringement against it are without merit, defending against such claims is time consuming and expensive and could result in the diversion of time and attention of PCT’s management and employees. In addition, although in some cases a third party may have agreed to indemnify PCT for such costs, such indemnifying party may refuse or be unable to uphold its contractual obligations. In other cases, insurance may not cover potential claims of this type adequately or at all, and PCT may be required to pay monetary damages, which may be significant.
Risks Related to PCT’s Production of UPRP
There is no guarantee the Technology is scalable to commercial-scale operation.
The Technology is based upon generally available commercial equipment to process contaminated polypropylene into clean recycled polypropylene product. Certain of the equipment to be utilized in the Phase II Facility has not operated with the same feedstock in a commercial mode. While PCT has constructed the FEU to demonstrate the process using the same equipment (except at a smaller scale) as the commercial-scale Phase II Facility, the FEU does not operate at a commercial-scale. The collective test data was used
 
22

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
to design the Phase II Facility equipment for commercial-scale and testing under the intended operating conditions and configuration for the commercial-scale operation to verify reproducibility of results including color, melt flow index, moldability (tensile modulus and other measures) and the odor of the final PCT-produced polypropylene product. While that testing indicated that the FEU can generate recycled polypropylene product that on average meets all of its key parameter targets, PCT cannot guarantee these results will be achieved in commercial-scale operation. Further, of the four quality parameters for UPRP, odor is the most difficult to characterize and measure. PCT’s goal is to generate product that will significantly reduce the odor of the offtake and be comparable or nearly comparable to virgin polypropylene with respect to level of odor, but PCT cannot guarantee that the Project will be capable of achieving the performance guarantees or meeting the requirements of the currently applicable environmental permits. The Project’s failure to achieve the performance guarantees or meet the requirements of the currently applicable environmental permits could impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects if the possible shortfalls versus specification are not effectively remedied per contract.
PCT may not be successful in finding future strategic partners for continuing development of additional offtake and feedstock opportunities.
PCT may seek to develop additional strategic partnerships to increase feedstock supply and offtake amount due to capital costs required to develop the UPRP product or manufacturing constraints. PCT may not be successful in efforts to establish such a strategic partnerships or other alternative arrangements for the UPRP product or Technology because PCT’s research and development pipeline may be insufficient, PCT’s product may be deemed to be at too early of a stage of development for collaborative effort or third parties may not view PCT’s product as having the requisite potential to demonstrate commercial success.
If PCT is unable to reach agreements with suitable collaborators on a timely basis, on acceptable terms or at all, PCT may have to curtail the development of UPRP product, reduce or delay the development program, delay potential commercialization, reduce the scope of any sales or marketing activities or increase expenditures and undertake development or commercialization activities at PCT’s own expense. If PCT elects to fund development or commercialization activities on its own, PCT may need to obtain additional expertise and additional capital, which may not be available on acceptable terms or at all. If PCT fails to enter into collaborations and does not have sufficient funds or expertise to undertake the necessary development and commercialization activities, PCT may not be able to further develop product candidates and PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially and adversely affected.
PCT’s failure to secure waste polypropylene could have a negative impact on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT’s ability to procure a sufficient quantity and quality of post-industrial and post-consumer resin that contains polypropylene as feedstock is dependent upon certain factors outside of PCT’s control including, but not limited to, changes to pricing levels for waste polypropylene, recycled polypropylene and non-recycled polypropylene, shortages in supply, interruptions affecting suppliers (including those due to operational restraints, industrial relations, transportation difficulties, accidents or natural disasters), or the introduction of new laws or regulations that make access to waste polypropylene more difficult or expensive. PCT has entered into four feedstock supply agreements each for a term of three years with automatic one-year renewals for 17 years, and one feedstock supply agreement for a term ending October 31, 2023 (collectively, the “Feedstock Supply Agreements”). The Feedstock Supply Agreements are subject to prior termination by either party upon ninety days’ notice prior to expiration of the current term. The Feedstock Supply Agreements provide for a combined guaranteed minimum of 60 MMlb/yr. of feedstock and at PCT’s option for a combined maximum of 195 MMlb/yr., and up to a combined 210 MMlb/yr. as an option to be mutually agreed to. The amount of feedstock to be supplied each year by each supplier is determined prior to each year in an Annual Volume Commitment (as defined therein). The feedstock suppliers guarantee that they will not sell to other parties or otherwise dispose of any portion of feedstock up to the Annual Volume Commitment. While there are no penalties stated in the Feedstock Supply Agreements for failure of either party to deliver and/or accept the committed quantity of feedstock, PCT may terminate an agreement by giving notice of nonrenewal as indicated above. While PCT believes it has sourced sufficient feedstock of desirable quality, it cannot guarantee that feedstock suppliers will have sufficient quantities available and at the appropriate specifications in accordance with their respective agreements with PCT. If feedstock is not
 
23

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
available to PCT in sufficient quantity and of requisite quality, PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects could be materially adversely impacted.
Because PCT’s global expansion requires sourcing feedstock and supplies from around the world, including Europe, changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, import and excise duties, taxes or other governmental rules and regulations could adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT’s global expansion model will require sourcing feedstock from suppliers around the world. The U.S. federal government or other governmental bodies may propose changes to international trade agreements, tariffs, taxes and other government rules and regulations. If any restrictions or significant increases in costs or tariffs are imposed related to feedstock sourced from Europe, or elsewhere, as a result of amendments to existing trade agreements, and PCT’s supply costs consequently increase, PCT may be required to raise UPRP prices, which may result in decreased margins, the loss of customers, and a material adverse effect on PCT’s financial results. The extent to which PCT’s margins could decrease in response to any future tariffs is uncertain. PCT continues to evaluate the impact of effective trade agreements, as well as other recent changes in foreign trade policy on its supply chain, costs, sales and profitability. PCT is actively working through strategies to mitigate such impact, including reviewing feedstock sourcing options and working with feedstock suppliers. In addition, COVID-19 has resulted in increased travel restrictions and the extended shutdown of certain businesses throughout the world. The impact of COVID-19 on PCT’s business is uncertain at this time and will depend on future developments; however, prolonged closures in Europe, and elsewhere, may disrupt the operations of certain feedstock suppliers, which could, in turn, negatively impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects. Any such impact could be material.
Risks Related to the Market for UPRP
The market for UPRP is still in the development phase and the acceptance of UPRP by manufacturers and potential customers is not guaranteed.
The customer approval process for the UPRP product may take longer than expected and certain potential customers may be slow to accept the product produced by PCT or may not accept it at all. PCT has agreed to a strategic partnership term sheet to enter into an offtake agreement with a term of 20 years, whereby PCT guarantees the UPRP product to meet specific criteria for color and opacity. There is no odor specification in the offtake agreements. Any such changes may require modifications to its executed offtake agreements, which provide for a combined guaranteed minimum sale of 63 MMlb/yr of UPRP at PCT’s option, and a combined maximum of 138 MMlb/yr. The amount of UPRP to be provided for sale under each agreement is determined prior to each year as an Annual Volume Commitment. PCT must provide samples of the product to each customer so that the customer may determine if the product meets specifications, regulatory and legal requirements, customer’s internal policies, and technical, safety, and other qualifications for UPRP use in the customer’s products. Upon delivery, the customer will have 30 days to inspect the UPRP and either accept or reject the material. Provided PCT has sufficient feedstock and that the UPRP meets the product specifications and conditions as determined in each offtake agreement, PCT should have sufficient product offtake capacity to accommodate a production rate of 107 MMlb/yr. The inability of PCT to provide, and there is no guarantee that PCT will be able to provide, product of sufficient quantity and quality for sale pursuant to the offtake agreements is likely to materially adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Certain of PCT’s offtake agreements are subject to index pricing, and fluctuation in index prices may adversely impact PCT’s financial results.
While PCT expects the price of its UPRP to continue to command a premium over the price of virgin resin and not be subject to fluctuations in the price of virgin PP, there is no guarantee of this result. Offtake agreements contain pricing for PCT’s products at both fixed prices and Index prices. PCT is using Information Handling Services provided by IHS Market Ltd (“IHS”) as it relates to the monthly market movement price mechanism index known as “Global Plastics & Polymers Report, Month-End: Polypropylene (PP)” and “Homopolymer (GP Inj. Mldg.),” with the price description terms of “Contract-market; HC
 
24

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Bulk, Delivered; Ex-Discounts, rebates” (delivered via railcar), based on the lower value listed in “Cts/Lb.” Over the last two years the index has been as high as $0.93 in October 2018 and as low as $0.54 in April 2020. Should the modeled index price forecasted by IHS be materially lower than the IHS estimate, PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be materially adversely impacted.
Competition could reduce demand for PCT’s products or negatively affect PCT’s sales mix or price realization. Failure to compete effectively by meeting consumer preferences, developing and marketing innovative solutions, maintaining strong customer service and distribution relationships, and expanding solutions capabilities and reach could adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
While PCT expects to produce a unique product in its UPRP, PCT operates in a competitive global market for polypropylene sources — virgin and recycled polypropylene. Competitors or new entrants might develop new products or technologies which compete with PCT and its proprietary Technology. PCT cannot predict changes that might affect its competitiveness or whether existing competitors or new entrants might develop products that reduce demand for PCT’s UPRP. The development of new products or technologies which compete with PCT’s UPRP may have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
In addition, PCT has granted a sublicense of P&G intellectual property back to P&G under the terms of the License Agreement, with a limited right to sublicense by P&G (the “Grant Back”). Under the Grant Back, for five years after the effective date of the License Agreement, the aggregate tonnage that may be produced under the Grant Back will be capped at a certain level per year worldwide. Beyond year 5, that aggregate annual tonnage will be expanded for each of the six regions worldwide. P&G has agreed that territory under the Grant Back will exclude the start of construction of a plant within a certain radius of the Project for five years from the effective date of the License Agreement. If PCT is able to establish production, either on its own or through a sublicense agreement with another partner, in any territory, P&G production will remain capped within that territory beyond the 5 years. If P&G sublicenses the P&G intellectual property under the Grant Back to other manufacturers, UPRP production and supply could increase, adversely impacting PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Risks Related to Regulatory Developments
PCT may not be able to meet applicable regulatory requirements for the use of PCT’s UPRP in food grade applications, and, even if the requirements are met, complying on an ongoing basis with the numerous regulatory requirements applicable to the UPRP and PCT’s facilities will be time-consuming and costly.
The use of UPRP in food grade applications is subject to regulation by various government agencies, including the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). The FDA has established certain guidelines for the use of recycled plastics in food packaging, as set forth in the FDA’s Guidance for Industry: Use of Recycled Plastics in Food Packaging (Chemistry Considerations). In order for the UPRP to be used in food grade applications, it must receive a No Objection Letter (“NOL”) from the FDA. The process for obtaining an NOL will include FDA evaluation of both the PCT purification process, the Technology, as well as the recycled feedstock resin. As such, PCT will seek multiple NOLs for type of use and for each categorically different source of feedstock. In addition, as needed, individual migration studies will be conducted to simulate articles in contact with food.
We cannot guarantee the receipt of the NOLs and a failure to receive the requested NOLs will have an adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
Furthermore, changes in regulatory requirements, laws and policies, or evolving interpretations of existing regulatory requirements, laws and policies, may result in increased compliance costs, delays, capital expenditures and other financial obligations that could adversely affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
We expect to encounter regulations in most if not all of the countries in which we may seek to expand, and we cannot be sure that we will be able to obtain necessary approvals in a timely manner or at all. If PCT’s UPRP does not meet applicable regulatory requirements in a particular country or at all, then we may face
 
25

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
limited market demand in those countries and PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects will be adversely affected.
The various regulatory schemes applicable to PCT’s UPRP will continue to apply following initial approval. Monitoring regulatory changes and ensuring our ongoing compliance with applicable requirements is time-consuming and may affect our business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects. If we fail to comply with such requirements on an ongoing basis, we may be subject to fines or other penalties, or may be prevented from selling our UPRP, and PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operation and prospects may be harmed.
The operation of and construction of the Project is subject to governmental regulation.
Under the loan agreement entered into in connection with PCT’s outstanding Revenue Bonds (the “Loan Agreement”), PCT must: (i) not commence construction or operation of the Project prior to receipt of all applicable permits and easements required for the particular phase of construction or operation; (ii) abide by the terms and conditions of all such permits and easements; and (iii) operate the Project at all times in the manner required or permitted by such permits and easements.
PCT has not identified any technical or engineering circumstances that it believes would prevent the issuance of the key permits and approvals required for construction and operation of the Project in the ordinary course consistent with the planned construction of the Project. Delays in or failure to obtain and maintain any required permit or approval, or delay in satisfying or failure to satisfy any condition or requirement or any approval or permit could delay or prevent completion of the Project or result in additional costs or reduced revenues. Federal, state and local statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to construction and operation of the Project are subject to change. No assurance can be given that PCT or any other affected party will be able to comply with such changes. Additional statutory or regulatory requirements may be imposed upon the Project in the future, which might materially increase costs of operation or maintenance.
Legislative, regulatory or judicial developments could affect PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT is subject to extensive air, water and other environmental laws and regulations at the federal and state level, as well as foreign regulatory schemes in Europe, such as the European Food Safety Authority. In addition, PCT will be subject to additional regulatory regimes upon expanding to new regions, such as Asia. Some of these laws require or may require PCT to operate under a number of environmental permits. These laws, regulations and permits can often require pollution control equipment or operational changes to limit actual or potential impacts to the environment. These laws, regulations and permit conditions may change and become more difficult to comply with. A violation of these laws, regulations or permit conditions could result in substantial fines, damages, criminal sanctions, permit revocations and/or a plant shutdown. Any such action may have a material adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects and result in the Company’s inability to pay debt service on its outstanding debt.
Risks Related to Human Capital Management
PCT is dependent on management and key personnel, and PCT’s business would suffer if it fails to retain its key personnel and attract additional highly skilled employees.
PCT’s success is dependent on the specialized skills of its management team and key operating personnel. This may present particular challenges as PCT operates in a highly specialized industry sector, which may make replacement of its management team and key operating personnel difficult. A loss of the managers or key employees, or their failure to satisfactorily perform their responsibilities, could have an adverse effect on PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
PCT’s future success will depend on its ability to identify, hire, develop, motivate and retain highly qualified personnel for all areas of its organization, particularly research and development, recycling technology, operations and sales. Trained and experienced personnel are in high demand and may be in short supply. Many of the companies with which PCT competes for experienced employees have greater
 
26

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
resources than PCT does and may be able to offer more attractive terms of employment. In addition, PCT invests significant time and expense in training employees, which increases their value to competitors that may seek to recruit them. PCT may not be able to attract, develop and maintain the skilled workforce necessary to operate its business, and labor expenses may increase as a result of a shortage in the supply of qualified personnel, which will negatively impact PCT’s business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
While ROCH and PCT work to complete the Business Combination, management’s focus and resources may be diverted from operational matters and other strategic opportunities.
Successful completion of the Business Combination may place a significant burden on management and other internal resources. The diversion of management’s attention and any difficulties encountered in the transition process could harm the new Combined Company’s business financial condition, results of operations and prospects. In addition, uncertainty about the effect of the Business Combination on PCT’s systems, employees, customers, partners, and other third parties, including regulators, may have an adverse effect on the new Combined Company. These uncertainties may impair the new Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate key personnel for a period of time after the completion of the Business Combination.
PCT’s management has limited experience in operating a public company.
PCT’s executive officers and directors have limited experience in the management of a publicly traded company subject to significant regulatory oversight and the reporting obligations under federal securities laws. PCT’s management team may not successfully or effectively manage its transition to a public company following the Merger. Their limited experience in dealing with the increasingly complex laws pertaining to public companies could be a significant disadvantage in that it is likely that an increasing amount of their time may be devoted to these activities which will result in less time being devoted to the management and growth of PCT. It is possible that the Combined Company will be required to expand its employee base and hire additional employees to support its operations as a public company, which will increase its operating costs in future periods.
Risks Related to ROCH’s Business and the Business Combination
ROCH will be forced to liquidate the Trust Account if it cannot consummate a business combination by the date that is 18 months from the closing of the IPO, or November 7, 2021. In the event of a liquidation, ROCH’s Public Stockholders will receive approximately $10.00 per share.
If ROCH is unable to complete a business combination by the date that is 18 months from the closing of the IPO, or November 7, 2021, and is forced to liquidate, the per-share liquidation distribution will be approximately $10.00.
You must tender your Public Shares in order to validly seek redemption in connection with the Business Combination.
In connection with tendering your Public Shares for redemption, you must elect either to physically tender your share certificates to Continental or to deliver your Common Stock to Continental electronically using DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System, in each case at least two business days before the Special Meeting. The requirement for physical or electronic delivery ensures that a redeeming holder’s election to redeem is irrevocable once the Business Combination is consummated. Any failure to observe these procedures will result in your loss of redemption rights in connection with the vote on the Business Combination.
If third parties bring claims against ROCH, the proceeds held in trust could be reduced and the per-share liquidation price received by ROCH’s stockholders may be less than currently anticipated.
ROCH’s placing of funds in trust may not protect those funds from third party claims against ROCH. Although ROCH has received from many of the vendors, service providers (other than its independent accountants) and prospective target businesses with which it does business executed agreements waiving any
 
27

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to any monies held in the Trust Account for the benefit of ROCH’s Public Stockholders, they may still seek recourse against the Trust Account. Additionally, a court may not uphold the validity of such agreements. Accordingly, the proceeds held in trust could be subject to claims which could take priority over those of ROCH’s Public Stockholders. However, ROCH cannot assure you that they will be able to meet such obligation. Therefore, the per-share distribution from the Trust Account for our stockholders in connection with a redemption or liquidation may be less than $10.00 due to such claims.
Additionally, if ROCH is forced to file a bankruptcy case or an involuntary bankruptcy case is filed against it which is not dismissed, the proceeds held in the Trust Account could be subject to applicable bankruptcy law, and may be included in ROCH’s bankruptcy estate and subject to the claims of third parties with priority over the claims of its stockholders. To the extent any bankruptcy claims deplete the Trust Account, ROCH may not be able to return $10.00 per share to the Public Stockholders.
Any distributions received by ROCH stockholders could be viewed as an unlawful payment if it was proved that immediately following the date on which the distribution was made, ROCH was unable to pay its debts as they fell due in the ordinary course of business.
The Certificate of Incorporation provides that ROCH will continue in existence only until the date that is 18 months from the closing of the IPO, or November 7, 2021 (unless such time period has been extended as described herein). If ROCH is unable to consummate a business combination within the required time periods, upon notice from ROCH, the trustee of the Trust Account will distribute the amount in the Trust Account to ROCH’s Public Stockholders. Concurrently, ROCH shall pay, or reserve for payment, from funds not held in trust, its liabilities and obligations, although ROCH cannot assure you that there will be sufficient funds for such purpose. In addition, ROCH may not properly assess all claims that may be potentially brought against it. As such, ROCH stockholders could potentially be liable for any claims to the extent of distributions received by them (but no more) and any liability of ROCH stockholders may extend well beyond the third anniversary of the date of distribution. Accordingly, third parties may seek to recover from our stockholders amounts owed to them by it.
If, after ROCH distributes the proceeds in the Trust Account to the Public Stockholders, ROCH files a bankruptcy petition or an involuntary bankruptcy petition is filed against us that is not dismissed, any distributions received by stockholders could be viewed under applicable debtor/creditor and/or bankruptcy laws as either a “preferential transfer” or a “fraudulent conveyance.” As a result, a bankruptcy court could seek to recover all amounts received by ROCH stockholders. In addition, ROCH’s Board may be viewed as having breached its fiduciary duty to our creditors and/or having acted in bad faith, thereby exposing itself and ROCH to claims of punitive damages, by paying Public Stockholders from the Trust Account prior to addressing the claims of creditors.
If ROCH’s due diligence investigation of PCT was inadequate, then stockholders of ROCH following the Business Combination could lose some or all of their investment.
Even though ROCH conducted a due diligence investigation of PCT, it cannot be sure that this diligence uncovered all material issues that may be present inside PCT or its business, or that it would be possible to uncover all material issues through a customary amount of due diligence, or that factors outside of PCT and its business and outside of its control will not later arise.
Stockholder litigation and regulatory inquiries and investigations are expensive and could harm ROCH’s business, financial condition and operating results and could divert management attention.
In the past, securities class action litigation and/or stockholder derivative litigation and inquiries or investigations by regulatory authorities have often followed certain significant business transactions, such as the sale of a company or announcement of any other strategic transaction, such as the Business Combination. Any stockholder litigation and/or regulatory investigations against ROCH, whether or not resolved in ROCH’s favor, could result in substantial costs and divert ROCH’s management’s attention from other business concerns, which could adversely affect ROCH’s business and cash resources and the ultimate value ROCH’s stockholders receive as a result of the Business Combination.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
The Initial Stockholders who own shares of Common Stock will not participate in liquidation distributions and, therefore, they may have a conflict of interest in determining whether the Business Combination is appropriate.
As of the Record Date, the Initial Stockholders owned an aggregate of 2,183,000 shares of Common Stock. They have waived their right to request redemption of these shares, or to receive distributions with respect to these shares upon the liquidation of the Trust Account if ROCH is unable to consummate a business combination. Therefore, all shares of Common Stock acquired by the Initial Stockholders will be worthless if ROCH does not consummate a business combination. Based on a market price of $10.50 per share of Common Stock on November 16, 2020, the value of these shares was $22.9 million. Consequently, ROCH’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in identifying and selecting PCT as a suitable target business may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether the terms, conditions and timing of the Business Combination are appropriate and in ROCH’s Public Stockholders’ best interest.
ROCH is requiring stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares in connection with a proposed business combination to comply with specific requirements for redemption that may make it more difficult for them to exercise their redemption rights prior to the deadline for exercising their rights.
ROCH is requiring stockholders who wish to redeem their Public Shares to either tender their certificates to Continental or to deliver their shares to Continental electronically using the DTC’s DWAC (Deposit/Withdrawal At Custodian) System at least two business days before the Special Meeting. In order to obtain a physical certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC and Continental will need to act to facilitate this request. It is ROCH’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Continental. However, because ROCH does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, it may take significantly longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. While ROCH has been advised that it takes a short time to deliver shares through the DWAC System, we cannot assure you of this fact. Accordingly, if it takes longer than ROCH anticipates for stockholders to deliver their Public Shares, stockholders who wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for exercising their redemption rights and thus may be unable to redeem their Public Shares.
Due to the requirement that Public Stockholders tender their Public Shares in order to request redemption of such shares, such redeeming stockholders may be unable to sell their securities when they wish to in the event that the Business Combination is not consummated.
If the Business Combination is not consummated, ROCH will promptly return such all certificates representing Public Shares tendered for redemption to its Public Stockholders. Accordingly, investors who attempted to redeem their Public Shares in such a circumstance will be unable to sell their securities after the failed acquisition until ROCH has returned their securities to them. The market price for shares of the Common Stock may decline during this time and you may not be able to sell your securities when you wish to, even while other stockholders that did not seek redemption may be able to sell their securities.
The ability of the ROCH Public Stockholders to exercise redemption rights with respect to a large number of shares of ROCH Common Stock could increase the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful and that ROCH’s stockholders will have to wait for liquidation in order to redeem their Public Shares.
Since the Merger Agreement requires that ROCH have, in the aggregate, cash (held both in and outside of the Trust Account) that is equal to or greater than $250.0 million, the probability that the Business Combination will be unsuccessful is increased if a large number of the Public Shares are tendered for redemption. If the Business Combination is unsuccessful, the Public Stockholders will not receive their pro rata portion of the Trust Account until the Trust Account is liquidated. If the Public Stockholders are in need of immediate liquidity, they could attempt to sell their Public Shares in the open market; however, at such time, the ROCH Common Stock may trade at a discount to the pro rata per share amount in the Trust Account. In either situation, ROCH’s stockholders may suffer a material loss on their investment or lose the benefit of funds expected in connection with the redemption until ROCH is liquidated or ROCH’s stockholders are able to sell their Public Shares in the open market.

If ROCH’s security holders exercise their registration rights with respect to their securities, it may have an adverse effect on the market price of ROCH’s securities.
ROCH’s Initial Stockholders will be entitled to make a demand that it register the resale of their insider shares pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement to be entered into at Closing. If such persons exercise their registration rights with respect to all of their securities, then there will be an additional 2,178,000 shares of common stock eligible for trading in the public market. The presence of these additional shares of common stock trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of ROCH’s securities.
ROCH will not obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party as to the fairness of the Business Combination to its stockholders.
ROCH is not required to obtain an opinion from an unaffiliated third party that the price it is paying in the Business Combination is fair to its Public Stockholders from a financial point of view. ROCH’s Public Stockholders therefore, must rely solely on the judgment of the Board.
If the Business Combination’s benefits do not meet the expectations of financial or industry analysts, the market price of Combined Company’s securities may decline.
The market price of the Combined Company’s securities may decline as a result of the Business Combination if:

The Combined Company does not achieve the perceived benefits of the Business Combination as rapidly as, or to the extent anticipated by, financial or industry analysts; or

The effect of the Business Combination on the financial statements is not consistent with the expectations of financial or industry analysts.
Accordingly, investors may experience a loss as a result of decreasing security prices.
ROCH will incur significant transaction costs in connection with transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
ROCH will incur significant transaction costs in connection with the Business Combination. If the Business Combination is not consummated, ROCH may not have sufficient funds to seek an alternative business combination and may be forced to liquidate and dissolve.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information included in this proxy statement/prospectus may not be indicative of what the Combined Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information in this proxy statement/prospectus is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the Combined Company’s actual financial position or results of operations would have been had the Business Combination been completed on the dates indicated. See the section entitled “Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information” for more information.
In the event that a significant number of Public Shares are redeemed, our Common Stock may become less liquid following the Business Combination.
If a significant number of Public Shares are redeemed, ROCH may be left with a significantly smaller number of stockholders. As a result, trading in the shares or other securities of the Combined Company may be limited and your ability to sell your shares or other securities in the market could be adversely affected. The Combined Company intends to apply to list its shares and other securities on NASDAQ, and may not list the common stock or other securities on its exchange, which could limit investors’ ability to make transactions in ROCH’s securities and subject ROCH to additional trading restrictions.
ROCH may waive one or more of the conditions to the Business Combination without resoliciting stockholder approval for the Business Combination.
ROCH may agree to waive, in whole or in part, some of the conditions to its obligations to complete the Business Combination, to the extent permitted by applicable laws. The Board will evaluate the materiality
 
30

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
of any waiver to determine whether amendment of this proxy statement and resolicitation of proxies is warranted. In some instances, if the Board determines that a waiver is not sufficiently material to warrant resolicitation of stockholders, ROCH has the discretion to complete the Business Combination without seeking further stockholder approval. For example, it is a condition to ROCH’s obligations to close the Business Combination that there be no restraining order, injunction or other order restricting PCT’s conduct of its business, however, if the Board determines that any such order or injunction is not material to the business of PCT, then the Board may elect to waive that condition without stockholder approval and close the Business Combination.
ROCH’s stockholders will experience immediate dilution as a consequence of the issuance of common stock as consideration in the Business Combination. Having a minority share position may reduce the influence that ROCH’s current stockholders have on the management of the Combined Company.
After the Business Combination, assuming no redemptions of public shares for cash, ROCH’s current Public Stockholders will own approximately 6.5% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock, ROCH’s current directors, officers and affiliates will own approximately 1.8% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock, and the former PCT Unitholders will own approximately 70.6% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. Assuming redemption by holders of 6.9 million outstanding Public Shares, ROCH Public Stockholders will own approximately 0.6% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock, ROCH’s current directors, officers and affiliates will own approximately 2.0% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock, and the former PCT Unitholders will own approximately 75.0% of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. The minority position of the former ROCH stockholders will give them limited influence over the management and operations of the Combined Company.
The shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock to be received by ROCH’s stockholders as a result of the Business Combination will have different rights from shares of ROCH Common Stock.
Following completion of the Business Combination, the Public Stockholders will no longer be stockholders of ROCH but will instead be shareholders of the Combined Company. There will be important differences between your current rights as a ROCH stockholder and your rights as a Combined Company shareholder. See “Comparison of Stockholder Rights” for a discussion of the different rights associated with the shares of common stock.
If ROCH fails to consummate the PIPE, it may not have enough funds to complete the Business Combination.
As a condition to closing the Business Combination, the Merger Agreement provides that ROCH must have $250.0 million available at the closing of the Business Combination. Because the amount in the Trust Account is less than $250.0 million, ROCH requires the funds from the PIPE Investment in order to consummate the Business Combination. While ROCH has entered into Subscription Agreements to raise an aggregate of approximately $250.0 million immediately prior to the Closing, there can be no assurance that the counterparties to the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) will perform their obligations thereunder. If ROCH fails to consummate the PIPE, it is unlikely that ROCH will have sufficient funds to meet the condition to Closing in the Merger Agreement.
If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, and an insufficient number of votes have been obtained to approve the Business Combination Proposal, the Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date in order to solicit further votes, and, therefore, the Business Combination will not be approved, and, therefore, the Business Combination may not be consummated.
The Board is seeking approval to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates if, at the Special Meeting, based upon the tabulated votes, there are insufficient votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal. If the Adjournment Proposal is not approved, the Board will not have the ability to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date and, therefore, will not have more time to solicit votes to approve the Business Combination Proposal. In such event, the Business Combination may not be completed.
The Business Combination transaction could fail to qualify as a tax-free exchange of Common Stock for ParentCo Common Stock.
We expect the Business Combination to qualify for tax-free exchange treatment under Section 351 of the Code, and Section 354 of the Code, however, if the requirements necessary to so qualify are not satisfied,

these exchanges could become taxable to the ROCH shareholders.

Risks Related to the Combined Company’s Common Stock
An active trading market for the Combined Company’s Common Stock may never develop or be sustained, which may make it difficult to sell the shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock you purchase.
An active trading market for the Combined Company’s Common Stock may not develop or continue or, if developed, may not be sustained, which would make it difficult for you to sell your shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock at an attractive price (or at all). The market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock may decline below your purchase price, and you may not be able to sell your shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock at or above the price you paid for such shares (or at all).
There can be no assurance that Combined Company’s Common Stock will be approved for listing on NASDAQ upon the Closing, or if approved, that the Combined Company will be able to comply with the continued listing standards of NASDAQ.
ROCH’s Common Stock is currently listed on NASDAQ. In connection with the Closing, we intend to apply to list the ParentCo Common Stock, warrants and units on NASDAQ upon the Closing under the symbol “PCT”, “PCTTW” and “PCTTU”, respectively. As part of the application process, we are required to provide evidence that we are able to meet the initial listing requirements of NASDAQ, which are more rigorous than NASDAQ’s continued listing requirements and include, among other things, a requirement that the Combined Company have 300 or more unrestricted round lot holders, at least 150 of which hold unrestricted shares with a minimum value of $2,500, and meet a minimum public float. The Combined Company’s ability to meet these listing requirements may depend, in part, on the number of shares of Common Stock that are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, as the number of redemptions may impact whether the Combined Company has at least 300 unrestricted round lot holders upon the Closing, among other initial listing requirements. The Combined Company’s application has not yet been approved, and may not be approved if we are unable to provide evidence satisfactory to NASDAQ that the Combined Company will meet these listing requirements.
If the Combined Company’s Common Stock is not approved for listing on NASDAQ or, after the Closing, NASDAQ delists the Combined Company’s shares from trading on its exchange for failure to meet the listing standards, the Combined Company and its stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences including:

a limited availability of market quotations for the Combined Company’s securities;

reduced liquidity for the Combined Company’s securities;

a determination that the Combined Company’s Common Stock is a “penny stock” which will require brokers trading in the Combined Company’s Common Stock to adhere to more stringent rules and possibly result in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for the Combined Company’s securities;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
The market price of the Combined Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile, and you may lose some or all of your investment.
Following the Business Combination, the market price of Combined Company’s common stock is likely to be highly volatile and may be subject to wide fluctuations in response to a variety of factors, including the following:

the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on PCT’s business;
 
32

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

the inability to obtain or maintain the listing of the Combined Company’s shares of Common Stock on NASDAQ;

the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the Business Combination, which may be affected by, among other things, competition, PCT’s ability to grow and manage growth profitably, and retain its key employees;

changes in applicable laws or regulations;

risks relating to the uncertainty of PCT’s projected financial information;

risks related to the organic and inorganic growth of PCT’s business and the timing of expected business milestones; and

the amount of redemption requests made by ROCH’s stockholders.
In addition, the stock markets have experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. Broad market and industry factors, as well as general economic, political, regulatory and market conditions, may negatively affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock, regardless of the Combined Company’s actual operating performance.
Volatility in the Combined Company’s share price could subject the Combined Company to securities class action litigation.
In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following a decline in the market price of its securities. If the Combined Company faces such litigation, it could result in substantial costs and a diversion of management’s attention and resources, which could harm its business.
If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about the Combined Company, or publish negative reports, the Combined Company’s stock price and trading volume could decline.
The trading market for the Combined Company’s common stock will depend, in part, on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about the Combined Company. The Combined Company does not have any control over these analysts. If the Combined Company’s financial performance fails to meet analyst estimates or one or more of the analysts who cover the Combined Company downgrade its common stock or change their opinion, the Combined Company’s stock price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of the Combined Company or fail to regularly publish reports on the Combined Company, it could lose visibility in the financial markets, which could cause the Combined Company’s stock price or trading volume to decline.
Because the Combined Company does not anticipate paying any cash dividends in the foreseeable future, capital appreciation, if any, would be your sole source of gain.
The Combined Company currently anticipates that it will retain future earnings for the development, operation and expansion of its business and do not anticipate declaring or paying any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. As a result, capital appreciation, if any, of the Combined Company’s shares of common stock would be your sole source of gain on an investment in such shares for the foreseeable future.
The exercise of registration rights or sales of a substantial amount of the Combined Company’s Common Stock after the Business Combination may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock.
In connection with the consummation of the Business Combination, the Merger Agreement provides that Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), Craig-Hallum Capital Group, LLC (“C-H”), the Combined Company and certain Initial Stockholders and PCT Unitholders (collectively, the “IRA Holders”) will enter into an Investor Rights Agreement pursuant to which the Combined Company will be obligated to file a registration statement to register the resale of certain securities of the Combined Company held by the IRA Holders. IRA Holders will have certain demand rights and “piggy-back” registration rights, subject to
 
33

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
certain requirements and customary conditions. The Combined Company also has agreed to register the shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock issued in connection with the PIPE prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.
In connection with its issuance of Convertible Notes, PCT has entered into a registration rights agreement (the “Magnetar Registration Rights Agreement”) with a series of funds affiliated with Magnetar Capital LLC (the “Magnetar Investors”). Pursuant to the Magnetar Registration Rights Agreement, PCT, ROCH, or an affiliate thereof is required to file a registration statement to register the resale of the Common Stock (as defined therein) held by the Magnetar Investors upon conversion of the Convertible Notes no later than 60 days following the consummation of the Business Combination, and is required to have such registration statement declared effective by a certain period of time or pay liquidated damages. The Magnetar Investors also have certain demand rights, subject to certain requirements and customary conditions.
The registration and availability of such a significant number of securities for trading in the public market may have an adverse effect on the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale.”
Future offerings of debt or offerings or issuances of equity securities by the Combined Company may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock or otherwise dilute all other stockholders.
In the future, we may attempt to obtain financing or to further increase the Combined Company’s capital resources by issuing additional shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock or offering debt or other equity securities, including commercial paper, medium-term notes, senior or subordinated notes, debt securities convertible into equity or shares of preferred stock. We also expect to grant equity awards to employees, directors, and consultants under the Combined Company’s stock incentive plans. Future acquisitions could require substantial additional capital in excess of cash from operations. The Combined Company would expect to obtain the capital required for acquisitions through a combination of additional issuances of equity, corporate indebtedness and/or cash from operations.
Issuing additional shares of the Combined Company’s Common Stock or other equity securities or securities convertible into equity may dilute the economic and voting rights of the Combined Company’s existing stockholders or reduce the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock or both. Upon liquidation, holders of such debt securities and preferred shares, if issued, and lenders with respect to other borrowings would receive a distribution of the Combined Company’s available assets prior to the holders of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. Debt securities convertible into equity could be subject to adjustments in the conversion ratio pursuant to which certain events may increase the number of equity securities issuable upon conversion. Preferred shares, if issued, could have a preference with respect to liquidating distributions or a preference with respect to dividend payments that could limit the Combined Company’s ability to pay dividends to the holders of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. The Combined Company’s decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond the Combined Company’s control, which may adversely affect the amount, timing and nature of the Combined Company’s future offerings.
Certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws (both as defined in “Description of the Combined Company’s Capital Stock”) could hinder, delay or prevent a change in control of the Combined Company, which could adversely affect the price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock.
Certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Amended and Restated Bylaws could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire the Combined Company without the consent of the Combined Company’s board of directors. These provisions include:

authorizing the issuance of undesignated preferred stock, the terms of which may be established and the shares of which may be issued without stockholder approval, and which may include super voting, special approval, dividend, or other rights or preferences superior to the rights of the holders of the Combined Company’s Common Stock;

prohibiting stockholder action by written consent, requiring all stockholder actions be taken at a meeting of our stockholders;
 
34

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

providing that the board of directors is expressly authorized to make, alter or repeal the Amended and Restated Bylaws;

until the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, providing that directors may be removed only for cause and then only by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote in an election of directors, voting together as a single class;

providing that vacancies on the Combined Company’s board of directors, including newly-created directorships, may be filled only by a majority vote of directors then in office;

prohibiting stockholders from calling special meetings of stockholders;

until the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, requiring the affirmative vote of the holders of at least 6623% in voting power of the outstanding shares then entitled to vote in an election of directors, voting together as a single class, to amend certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Bylaws and certain provisions of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation;

establishing advance notice requirements for nominations for elections to our board of directors or for proposing matters that can be acted upon by stockholders at stockholder meetings; and

establishing a classified board of directors until the fifth anniversary of the effectiveness of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as a result of which our board of directors will be divided into three classes, with each class serving for staggered three-year terms, which prevents stockholders from electing an entirely new board of directors at an annual meeting.
In addition, these provisions may make it difficult and expensive for a third party to pursue a tender offer, change in control or takeover attempt that is opposed by our management or our board of directors. Stockholders who might desire to participate in these types of transactions may not have an opportunity to do so, even if the transaction is favorable to them. These anti-takeover provisions could substantially impede your ability to benefit from a change in control or change our management and board of directors and, as a result, may adversely affect the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock and your ability to realize any potential change of control premium. See “Description of the Combined Company’s Capital Stock — Anti-Takeover Effects of the Combined Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and Amended and Restated Bylaws and Certain Provisions of Delaware Law.
General Risk Factors
Each of ROCH and PCT have incurred and will incur substantial costs in connection with the Business Combination and related transactions, such as legal, accounting, consulting and financial advisory fees.
As part of the Business Combination, each of ROCH and PCT are utilizing professional service firms for legal, accounting and financial advisory services. Although the parties have been provided with estimates of the costs for each advisory firm, the total actual costs may exceed those estimates. In addition, the companies are retaining consulting services to assist in the integration of the businesses, including but not limited to organizational decisions, Combined Company business process design, cultural integration and go-to-market integration. These consulting services may extend beyond the current estimated time frame thus resulting in higher than expected costs.
The Combined Company may be unable to obtain additional financing to fund the operations and growth of the business following the consummation of the Business Combination.
The Combined Company may require additional financing to fund its operations or growth following the consummation of the Business Combination. The failure to secure additional financing could have a material adverse effect on the continued development or growth of the Combined Company. Such financings may result in dilution to stockholders, issuance of securities with priority as to liquidation and dividend and other rights more favorable than common stock, imposition of debt covenants and repayment obligations, or other restrictions that may adversely affect its business. In addition, the Combined Company may seek additional capital due to favorable market conditions or strategic considerations even if it believes that it has
 
35

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
sufficient funds for current or future operating plans. There can be no assurance that financing will be available to the Combined Company on favorable terms, or at all. The inability to obtain financing when needed may make it more difficult for the Combined Company to operate its business or implement its growth plans.
The Combined Company will be an emerging growth company, and the Combined Company cannot be certain if the reduced reporting requirements applicable to emerging growth companies will make its shares less attractive to investors.
After the completion of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be an emerging growth company, as defined in the JOBS Act. For as long as the Combined Company continues to be an emerging growth company, it may take advantage of exemptions from various reporting requirements that are applicable to other public companies that are not “emerging growth companies,” including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404, reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation and exemptions from the requirements of holding a nonbinding advisory vote on executive compensation and stockholder approval of any golden parachute payments not previously approved. The Combined Company will remain an emerging growth company until the earlier of (1) the date (a) May 7, 2025, (b) in which the Combined Company has total annual gross revenue of at least $1.07 billion or (c) in which the Combined Company is deemed to be a large accelerated filer, which means the market value of shares of the Combined Company’s common stock that are held by non-affiliates exceeds $700 million as of the prior June 30th, and (2) the date on which the Combined Company has issued more than $1.0 billion in non-convertible debt during the prior three-year period.
In addition, under the JOBS Act, emerging growth companies can delay adopting new or revised accounting standards until such time as those standards apply to private companies. The Combined Company has irrevocably elected not to avail itself of this exemption from new or revised accounting standards and, therefore, the Combined Company will be subject to the same new or revised accounting standards as other public companies that are not emerging growth companies.
Even after the Combined Company no longer qualifies as an emerging growth company, it may still qualify as a “smaller reporting company,” which would allow it to take advantage of many of the same exemptions from disclosure requirements including exemption from compliance with the auditor attestation requirements of Section 404 and reduced disclosure obligations regarding executive compensation in this proxy statement and the Combined Company’s periodic reports and proxy statements.
The Combined Company cannot predict if investors will find its common stock less attractive because the Combined Company may rely on these exemptions. If some investors find the Combined Company’s common stock less attractive as a result, there may be a less active trading market for the common stock and its market price may be more volatile.
PCT identified certain material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting. If PCT is unable to remediate these material weaknesses, or if PCT identifies additional material weaknesses in the future or otherwise fails to maintain an effective system of internal controls, PCT may not be able to accurately or timely report its financial condition or results of operations, which may adversely affect PCT’s business and stock price.
In connection with the preparation and audit of PCT’s consolidated financial statements for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018 and the balance sheet data as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 and 2018, certain material weaknesses were identified in PCT’s internal control over financial reporting. A material weakness is a deficiency, or combination of deficiencies, in internal control over financial reporting such that there is a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of PCT’s interim or annual consolidated financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis. The material weaknesses were as follows:

PCT did not have sufficient, qualified personnel to determine the appropriate accounting treatment for its complex agreements or transactions that required technical accounting analysis;

PCT’s lack of sufficient personnel also resulted in inadequate segregation of duties in the design and operation of the internal controls over financial reporting;
 
36

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

PCT’s lack of formal processes and controls resulted in an ineffective control environment, which led to an inadequate review of the financial statements and financial reporting;

PCT did not design and maintain effective controls over certain information technology (“IT”) controls for information systems that are relevant to the preparation of its financial statements, specifically with respect to user access, to ensure appropriate segregation of duties that adequately restrict user access to financial applications, programs, and data to appropriate company personnel; and

PCT did not design and maintain effective controls surrounding the completeness and cutoff of expenses and payables, such that certain expenses paid by a related entity on behalf of PCT were not appropriately allocated to PCT, and certain transactions were recorded in the period when the invoice was received rather than accrued in the period when the activity took place.
These material weaknesses could result in a misstatement of substantially all of PCT’s accounts or disclosures, which would result in a material misstatement to the interim or annual consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. PCT has begun implementation of a plan to remediate the material weaknesses described above. Those remediation measures are ongoing and include the following:

In 2018 and 2019 there were two accounting employees; both were part time, and one of which was an accounts payable clerk. PCT management is increasing staffing and has brought in outside resources. PCT has since hired a CFO, a Vice President of Finance, and a Controller and is looking to hire an Executive VP Finance to support the CFO and provide leadership to the accounting team. PCT has also engaged a public accounting firm to assist with financial reporting and advise on technical accounting issues;

PCT is making certain changes to its IT systems, including the development of formal access policies, the development of an audit of administrator activity and the reassignment of administrator privileges over PCT’s accounting system outside PCT’s accounting department; and

PCT is establishing a process to maintain checklists tracking related entity payments as part of its monthly close processes and is instituting policies to strengthen its receipt and processing of purchase orders to monitor accrual determinations. Furthermore, payment for almost all PCT expenses has been moved to PCT, with only a limited number of expenses paid by a related entity for situations where there is a shared contract.
PCT plans to continue to assess its internal controls and procedures and intends to take further action as necessary or appropriate to address any other matters it identifies or are brought to its attention. PCT cannot assure you that the measures it has taken to date and may take in the future will be sufficient to remediate the control deficiencies that led to PCT’s material weaknesses in internal control over financial reporting or that PCT will prevent or avoid potential future material weaknesses. The effectiveness of PCT’s internal control over financial reporting is subject to various inherent limitations, including cost limitations, judgments used in decision making, assumptions about the likelihood of future events, the possibility of human error and the risk of fraud. If PCT is unable to remediate the material weaknesses, its ability to record, process and report financial information accurately, and to prepare financial statements within the time periods specified by the forms of the SEC, could be adversely affected which, in turn, may adversely affect PCT’s reputation and business and the market price of the Combined Company’s Common Stock. In addition, any such failures could result in litigation or regulatory actions by the SEC or other regulatory authorities, loss of investor confidence, delisting of the Combined Company’s securities and harm to the Combined Company’s reputation and financial condition, or diversion of financial and management resources from the operation of PCT’s business.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will incur significant increased expenses and administrative burdens as a public company, which could have an adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
Following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will face increased legal, accounting, administrative and other costs and expenses as a public company that PCT
 
37

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
does not incur as a private company. The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (the “Sarbanes-Oxley Act”), including the requirements of Section 404, as well as rules and regulations subsequently implemented by the SEC, the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and the rules and regulations promulgated and to be promulgated thereunder, the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) and the securities exchanges, impose additional reporting and other obligations on public companies. Compliance with public company requirements will increase costs and make certain activities more time-consuming. A number of those requirements will require the Combined Company to carry out activities PCT has not done previously. For example, the Combined Company will create new board committees and adopt new internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures. In addition, additional expenses associated with SEC reporting requirements will be incurred. Furthermore, if any issues in complying with those requirements are identified (for example, if the auditors identify material weaknesses in addition to those disclosed herein or a significant deficiency in the internal control over financial reporting), the Combined Company could incur additional costs rectifying those issues, and the existence of those issues could adversely affect the Combined Company’s reputation or investor perceptions of it. It may also be more expensive to obtain director and officer liability insurance in such a situation. Risks associated with the Combined Company’s status as a public company may make it more difficult to attract and retain qualified persons to serve on the board of directors or as executive officers. The additional reporting and other obligations imposed by these rules and regulations will increase legal and financial compliance costs and the costs of related legal, accounting and administrative activities. These increased costs will require the Combined Company to divert a significant amount of money that could otherwise be used to expand the business and achieve strategic objectives. Advocacy efforts by stockholders and third parties may also prompt additional changes in governance and reporting requirements, which could further increase costs.
The Combined Company’s failure to timely and effectively implement controls and procedures required by Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act that will be applicable to it after the Business Combination is consummated could negatively impact its business.
PCT is currently not subject to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. However, following the consummation of the Business Combination, the Combined Company will be required to provide management’s attestation on internal controls. The standards required for a public company under Section 404(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act are significantly more stringent than those required of PCT as a privately held company. Management may not be able to effectively and timely implement controls and procedures that adequately respond to the increased regulatory compliance and reporting requirements that will be applicable after the Business Combination. If the Combined Company is not able to implement the additional requirements of Section 404(a) in a timely manner or with adequate compliance, it may not be able to assess whether its internal controls over financial reporting are effective, which may subject it to adverse regulatory consequences and could harm investor confidence and the market price of its securities.

           ,     , there were 9,828,000 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, of which 7,645,000 are Public Shares and 2,183,000 are Insider Shares held by the Initial Stockholders. Each holder of shares of Common Stock is entitled to one vote per share on each Proposal. If your shares are held in “street name,” you should contact your broker, bank or other nominee to ensure that shares held beneficially by you are voted in accordance with your instructions.
In connection with ROCH’s IPO, ROCH entered into the Letter Agreement pursuant to which the Initial Stockholders agreed to vote any shares of Common Stock owned by them in favor of our initial business combination. The Initial Stockholders also entered into a Founder Support Agreement with ROCH, ParentCo and PCT, pursuant to which they agreed to, among other things, vote in favor of the Business Combination Proposal and the other Proposals. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, the Initial Stockholders hold approximately 22.2% of the outstanding Common Stock.
Quorum and Required Vote for Stockholder Proposals
A quorum of ROCH stockholders is necessary to hold a valid meeting. A quorum will be present at the Special Meeting if a majority of the shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding is present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. Abstentions by virtual attendance and by proxy will count as present for the purposes of establishing a quorum but broker non-votes will not.
Approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the NASDAQ Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal will require the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present in person by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.
Along with the approval of the NASDAQ Proposal and the Equity Plan Proposal, approval of the Business Combination Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination may not occur. Approval of the Business Combination Proposal is also a condition to Proposal 2, Proposal 3 and Proposal 4. If the NASDAQ Proposal and the Equity Plan Proposal are not approved, the Business Combination Proposal will have no effect (even if approved by the requisite vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting) and the Business Combination may not occur.
Voting Your Shares
Each share of Common Stock that you own beneficially or of record entitles you to one vote on each Proposal for the Special Meeting. Your proxy card shows the number of shares of Common Stock that you own.
There are two ways to ensure that your shares of Common Stock are voted at the Special Meeting:

You can vote your shares by signing, dating and returning the enclosed proxy card in the pre-paid postage envelope provided. If you submit your proxy card, your “proxy,” whose name is listed on the proxy card, will vote your shares as you instruct on the proxy card. If you sign and return the proxy card but do not give instructions on how to vote your shares, your shares will be voted, as recommended by our Board. Our Board recommends voting “FOR” each of the Proposals. If you hold your shares of Common Stock in “street name,” which means your shares are held of record by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided to you by your broker, bank or nominee to ensure that the votes related to the shares you beneficially own are properly represented and voted at the Special Meeting.

You can participate in the virtual Special Meeting and vote during the Special Meeting even if you have previously voted by submitting a proxy as described above. However, if your shares are held in the name of your broker, bank or another nominee, you must get a proxy from the broker, bank or other nominee. That is the only way ROCH can be sure that the broker, bank or nominee has not already voted your shares.

IF YOU RETURN YOUR PROXY CARD WITHOUT AN INDICATION OF HOW YOU WISH TO VOTE, YOUR SHARES WILL BE VOTED IN FAVOR OF THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL (AS WELL AS THE OTHER PROPOSALS).
Revoking Your Proxy
If you give a proxy, you may revoke it at any time before it is exercised by doing any one of the following:

you may send another proxy card with a later date;

if you are a record holder, you may notify our proxy solicitor, Advantage Proxy, in writing no later than two days before the Special Meeting that you have revoked your proxy; or

you may participate in the virtual Special Meeting, revoke your proxy, and vote during the virtual Special Meeting, as indicated above.

No Additional Matters May Be Presented at the Special Meeting
This Special Meeting has been called only to consider the approval of the Business Combination Proposal, the NASDAQ Proposal, the Equity Plan Proposal and the Adjournment Proposal. Under our Certificate of Incorporation, other than procedural matters incident to the conduct of the Special Meeting, no other matters may be considered at the Special Meeting if they are not included in the notice of the Special Meeting.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, a holder of Public Shares may demand that ROCH redeem such shares for cash in connection with a business combination. You may not elect to redeem your shares prior to the completion of a business combination.
If you are a Public Stockholder and you seek to have your Public Shares redeemed, you must submit your request in writing that we redeem your Public Shares for cash no later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern time on            , 2021 (at least two business days before the Special Meeting). The request must be signed by the applicable stockholder in order to validly request redemption. A stockholder is not required to submit a proxy card or vote in order to validly exercise redemption rights. The request must identify the holder of the shares to be redeemed and must be sent to Continental at the following address:
Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
1 State Street, 30th floor
New York, NY 10004
Attention: Mark Zimkind
Email: mzimkind@continentalstock.com
You must tender the Public Shares for which you are electing redemption at least two business days before the Special Meeting by either:

Delivering certificates representing the shares of Common Stock to Continental, or

Delivering the shares of Common Stock electronically through the DWAC system.
 
41

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
If you wish to tender through the DWAC system, please contact your broker and request delivery of your shares through the DWAC system. Delivering shares physically may take significantly longer. In order to obtain a physical stock certificate, a stockholder’s broker and/or clearing broker, DTC, and Continental will need to act together to facilitate this request. It is ROCH’s understanding that stockholders should generally allot at least two weeks to obtain physical certificates from Continental. ROCH does not have any control over this process or over the brokers or DTC, and it may take longer than two weeks to obtain a physical stock certificate. Stockholders who request physical stock certificates and wish to redeem may be unable to meet the deadline for tendering their Public Shares before exercising their redemption rights and thus will be unable to redeem their Public Shares.
In the event that a stockholder tenders its Public Shares and decides prior to the consummation of the Business Combination that it does not want to redeem its Public Shares, the stockholder may withdraw the tender. In the event that a stockholder tenders Public Shares and the Business Combination is not completed, these shares will not be redeemed for cash and the physical certificates representing these shares will be returned to the stockholder promptly following the determination that the Business Combination will not be consummated. ROCH anticipates that a stockholder who tenders Public Shares for redemption in connection with the vote to approve the Business Combination would receive payment of the redemption price for such shares of common stock soon after the completion of the Business Combination.
Any corrected or changed written demand of redemption rights must be received by Continental at least two business days before the Special Meeting. No demand for redemption will be honored unless the holder’s shares have been delivered (either physically or electronically) to Continental at least two business days prior to the vote at the Special Meeting.
Public Stockholders may seek to have their Public Shares redeemed regardless of whether they vote for or against the Business Combination and whether or not they are holders of shares of Common Stock as of the Record Date. Any Public Stockholder who holds Public Shares on or before            , 2021 (at least two business days before the Special Meeting) will have the right to demand that his, her or its shares be redeemed for a pro rata share of the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, less any taxes then due but not yet paid, at the consummation of the Business Combination.
If properly demanded by ROCH’s Public Stockholders, ROCH will redeem each share into a pro rata portion of the funds available in the Trust Account, calculated as of two business days prior to the anticipated consummation of the Business Combination. As of November 20, 2020, this would amount to approximately $10.00 per share. If you exercise your redemption rights, you will be exchanging your shares of Common Stock for cash and will no longer own the shares of Common Stock.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a holder of Public Shares, together with any affiliate of his or her or any other person with whom he or she is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)-(3) of the Exchange Act will be restricted from seeking redemption rights with respect to more than 20% of the shares of common stock.
If too many Public Stockholders exercise their redemption rights, we may not be able to meet certain closing conditions, and as a result, would not be able to proceed with the Business Combination.
Appraisal Rights
Appraisal rights are not available to holders of shares of Common Stock in connection with the proposed Business Combination.
Proxies and Proxy Solicitation Costs
ROCH is soliciting proxies on behalf of the Board. This solicitation is being made by mail but also may be made by telephone or in person. ROCH and its directors, officers and employees may also solicit proxies in person, by telephone or by other electronic means. Any solicitation made and information provided in such a solicitation will be consistent with the written proxy statement/prospectus and proxy card. ROCH will bear the cost of solicitation. Advantage Proxy, a proxy solicitation firm that ROCH has engaged to assist it in soliciting proxies, will be paid its customary fee of approximately $7,500 and be reimbursed out-of-pocket expenses.

ROCH will ask banks, brokers and other institutions, nominees and fiduciaries to forward its proxy materials to their principals and to obtain their authority to execute proxies and voting instructions. ROCH will reimburse them for their reasonable expenses.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
PROPOSAL NO. 1 — THE BUSINESS COMBINATION PROPOSAL
ROCH is asking its stockholders to approve and adopt the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the RH Merger and PCT Merger. Our stockholders should read carefully this proxy statement/prospectus in its entirety, including the subsection below entitled “— The Merger Agreement,” for more detailed information concerning the Business Combination and the Merger Agreement. We also urge our stockholders to read carefully the Merger Agreement in its entirety before voting on this proposal. A copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to this proxy statement/prospectus.
Our Certificate of Incorporation provides that we may consummate the Business Combination only if it is approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of our then outstanding shares of Common Stock.
The Merger Agreement
This section describes the material provisions of the Merger Agreement, but does not purport to describe all of the terms of the Merger Agreement. The following summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Merger Agreement, a copy of which is attached as Annex A hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference. Stockholders and other interested parties are urged to read the Merger Agreement, carefully and in its entirety (and, if appropriate, with the advice of financial and legal counsel) because it is the primary legal document that governs the Business Combination. Any terms used herein but not otherwise defined have the meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains representations, warranties and covenants that the respective parties made to each other as of the date of the agreement or other specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations, warranties, covenants, closing conditions and other terms were made for purposes of the contract among the respective parties and are subject to important qualifications and limitations agreed to by the parties in connection with negotiating the Merger Agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants in the Merger Agreement are also modified in important part by the underlying disclosure letter of the Company which is not filed publicly and which is subject to a contractual standard of materiality and were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing matters as facts. We do not believe that these schedules contain information that is material to an investment decision.
Structure of the Business Combination
On November 16, 2020, we entered into the Merger Agreement by and among ROCH, ParentCo, Merger Sub Corp, Merger Sub LLC, and PCT, which provides for (i) Merger Sub Corp to merge with and into ROCH in the RH Merger, with ROCH surviving the RH Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (“ROCH Surviving Company”); (ii) simultaneously with the RH Merger, Merger Sub LLC will merge with and into PCT in the PCT Merger, with PCT surviving the PCT Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of ParentCo (the “Surviving Company”); and (iii) following the PCT Merger, ParentCo will contribute to the Surviving Company the proceeds of the PIPE Investment, other than the par value of the Common Stock, which will have been disbursed to ROCH, and within two days following the Closing, ROCH Surviving Company will acquire, and ParentCo will contribute to ROCH Surviving Company in the ParentCo Contribution all common units of the Surviving Company directly held by ParentCo after the PCT Merger, such that, following the ParentCo Contribution, Surviving Company shall be a wholly-owned subsidiary of the ROCH Surviving Company.
The following diagram illustrates the ownership structure of ROCH, ParentCo, Merger Sub LLC, Merger Sub Corp and PCT prior to the Business Combination and then after the Business Combination.

Consideration
The Aggregate Consideration payable to the members of PCT in connection with the Business Combination consists of the Closing Share Consideration, the Contingency Consideration and the assumption of all indebtedness of PCT as of the Closing Date (the “Assumed Indebtedness”), including indebtedness related to (a) the Revenue Bonds and (b) the Convertible Notes and other indebtedness used to fund the construction of an industrial process facility in Ironton, Ohio (collectively, the “Construction Indebtedness”).
The Closing Share Consideration
The Closing Share Consideration for PCT Unitholders is the number of shares of ParentCo Common Stock equal to the quotient of: (a) $835,000,000 divided by (b) $10.00, subject to adjustment as set forth in Section 2.3 of the Merger Agreement. The Common Stock, Public Warrants and Public Units issued and outstanding immediately prior to the consummation of the Business Combination will be exchanged for ParentCo Securities on a one for one basis.
Contingency Consideration
PCT Unitholders will be issued up to 4,000,000 additional shares of ParentCo Common Stock if certain conditions are met. Each of the “First Level Contingency Consideration” and “Second Level Contingency Consideration,” is equal to 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock. The PCT Unitholders will be entitled to the First Level Contingency Consideration, if after six months after the Closing and prior to or as of the third anniversary of the Closing, the closing price of the ParentCo Common Stock is greater than or equal to $18.00 over any 20 trading days within any 30-trading day period. The PCT Unitholders will be entitled to the Second Level Contingency Consideration upon the Phase II Facility becoming operational, as certified by an independent engineering firm in accordance with criteria established in connection with the incurrence of the Construction Indebtedness.
Upon the first Change in Control (as defined in the Merger Agreement) to occur during the Earnout Period (as defined in the Merger Agreement), if the price per share paid or payable to the stockholders of ParentCo in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than $18.00, ParentCo will issue 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock. Upon the first Change in Control (substituting “80%” for “50%’’ in the definition thereof) to occur during the Earnout Period, if the price per share paid or payable to the stockholders of ParentCo in connection with such Change in Control is equal to or greater than $10.00 per share, ParentCo will issue 2,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock.
Closing of the Business Combination
We expect to consummate the Business Combination no later than two business days following the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions described below under the subsection entitled “— Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination.”
Conditions to the Closing of the Business Combination
The Merger Agreement sets forth the various conditions which must be satisfied or waived prior to consummation of the Business Combination. Neither ROCH nor ParentCo can provide assurance as to when or if all of the conditions to the Business Combination will be satisfied or waived by the appropriate party. As of the date of this proxy statement/prospectus, ROCH and ParentCo have no reason to believe that any of these conditions will not be satisfied.

approve the Merger Agreement and the Business Combination, to use their reasonable best efforts to take all actions reasonably necessary to consummate the Business Combination and to not take any action that would reasonably be expected to materially delay or prevent the satisfaction of the conditions to the Business Combination set forth in the Merger Agreement
The foregoing description of the Founder Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Founder Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.7 to this proxy statement/prospectus, and incorporated herein by reference.

The foregoing description of the Company Support Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of Company Support Agreement, a copy of which is included as Exhibit 10.8 to this proxy statement/prospectus, and incorporated herein by reference.
Investor Rights Agreement
At the Closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, ParentCo, certain PCT Unitholders representing at least 70% of PCT’s outstanding membership interests and certain stockholders of ROCH (including certain ROCH officers, directors and sponsors) will also enter into an Investor Rights Agreement, which is a closing condition of the parties to consummate the Business Combination. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, such PCT Unitholders have agreed to vote in favor of two board designees nominated by a majority of such stockholders of ROCH for a period of two years following the Closing Date (the “IRA Designees”), provided that in the event a majority of the holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares (as defined below) choose to select one of the IRA Designees, the majority of such stockholders of ROCH will select one of the IRA Designees and such holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares will select the other. The holders of the Pre-PIPE Shares may continue to select an IRA Designee until they no longer hold 10% or more of the outstanding Combined Company’s Common Stock. Such PCT Unitholders have also agreed, subject to certain limited exceptions, not to transfer ParentCo Common Stock received in the Business Combination except as follows:

From and after the six-month anniversary of the Closing Date, each Founder (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement) may sell up to 20% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to 33.34% of such PCT Unitholder’s ParentCo Common Stock.

From and after the one-year anniversary of the Closing Date, each Founder may sell up to an additional 30% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to an additional 33.33% of such PCT Unitholder’s ParentCo Common Stock.

From and after the Phase II Facility becoming operational, as certified by an independent engineering firm, each Founder may sell up to an additional 50% of such Founder’s ParentCo Common Stock and each PCT Unitholder that is not a Founder may sell up to an additional 33.33% of such PCT Unitholder’s shares of ParentCo Common Stock; provided that, in the case of Procter & Gamble, such lock-up will terminate in any event no later than April 15, 2023.
The Investor Rights Agreement also contains registration rights in favor of the PCT Unitholders and such ROCH stockholders which (in the case of the ROCH stockholders) are intended to replace the registration rights granted to them at the time of ROCH’s IPO.
Subscription Agreements and PIPE Registration Rights Agreements
In connection with the Business Combination, accredited investors (each a “Subscriber”) (i) have purchased prior to the date of the Merger Agreement membership units of PCT at an effective price per ParentCo Common Stock of approximately $8.35 per share for an aggregate cash amount of approximately

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
$60 million (the “Pre-PIPE Shares”) in a private placement (the “Pre-PIPE Placement”) and (ii) have committed to purchase, on a transitory basis simultaneously with the consummation of the Business Combination, shares of Common Stock at a purchase price of $10.00 per share for an aggregate cash amount of $250 million (the “PIPE Shares”) in a private placement (for purposes of this section, the “PIPE Placement”), all of which will be exchanged for ParentCo Common Stock in connection with the closing of the Business Combination. Certain offering related expenses are payable by ROCH and PCT, including customary fees payable to the placement agents: Roth Capital Partners, LLC, Craig-Hallum and Oppenheimer. Such commitments have been made by way of certain subscription or unit purchase agreements (collectively, the “Subscription Agreements”), by and among each Subscriber and PCT or ROCH, as the case may be. The purpose of the sale of the Pre-PIPE Shares and the PIPE Shares is to raise additional capital for use in connection with the PCT business and the Business Combination and, in the case of the PIPE Shares, to meet the minimum cash requirements provided in the Merger Agreement. The Subscription Agreements for the PIPE Placement were entered into contemporaneously with the execution of the Merger Agreement and the proceeds to be deposited into escrow by the Subscribers will be released to ParentCo (other than the par value of the PIPE Shares, which will be released to ROCH) in connection with the issuance of ParentCo Common Stock as part of the RH Merger concurrent with the closing of the Business Combination. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of, and simultaneously with, the consummation of the RH Merger.
The PIPE Shares are identical to the shares of Common Stock that will be held by ROCH’s public stockholders at the time of the Closing of the Business Combination, other than the PIPE Shares, when initially issued by ROCH in connection with the PIPE Closing, may not be registered with the SEC.
The closing of the sale of PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Closing”) will be contingent upon the substantially concurrent consummation of the Business Combination. The PIPE Closing will occur on the date of and simultaneously with the consummation of the RH Merger. The PIPE Closing will be subject to customary conditions, including:

ParentCo’s initial listing application with NASDAQ in connection with the Business Combination shall have been approved and, immediately following the Closing of the Business Combination, ParentCo shall satisfy any applicable initial and continuing listing requirements of NASDAQ and ParentCo shall not have received any notice of non-compliance therewith, and the ParentCo Common Stock shall have been approved for listing on NASDAQ;

all representations and warranties of ROCH and the Subscriber contained in the relevant Subscription Agreement shall be true and correct in all material respects (other than representations and warranties that are qualified as to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Subscription Agreements)), which representations and warranties shall be true in all respects) at, and as of, the PIPE Closing;

as of the Closing Date, there has been no material adverse change in the business, properties, financial condition, stockholders’ equity or results of operations of ROCH and its subsidiaries taken as a whole since the date of the Subscription Agreement (other than the election by holders of the ROCH Class A Common Stock to exercise redemption rights in connection with the special meeting of ROCH’s stockholders to approve the Business Combination); and

all conditions precedent to the closing of the Business Combination, including the approval by ROCH’s stockholders, shall have been satisfied or waived.
Each applicable Subscription Agreement will terminate upon the earlier to occur of (w) such date and time as the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms, (x) upon the mutual written agreement of each of the parties to such Subscription Agreement, (y) any of the conditions to the PIPE Closing are not satisfied or waived on or prior to the PIPE Closing and, as a result thereof, the transactions contemplated by such Subscription Agreement are not consummated at the PIPE Closing or (z) May 31, 2021.
Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements and PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, ROCH agreed to file (at ROCH’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the ParentCo Common Stock issuable in respect of the Pre-PIPE Shares and the PIPE Shares (the “PIPE Resale Registration Statement”) with the SEC no later than the 10th calendar day following the date ROCH first files this Proxy

Statement/Prospectus with the SEC, unless such shares will be the subject of registration under this Proxy Statement/Prospectus. ROCH will use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the PIPE Resale Registration Statement declared effective at the same time that ROCH has cleared comments with the SEC on this Proxy Statement/Prospectus, but no later than the 60th calendar day following the Closing Date (or, in the event the SEC notifies ROCH that it will “review” the PIPE Resale Registration Statement, the 90th calendar day following the date thereof) (the “Effectiveness Date”).
Under certain circumstances, additional payments by ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) may be assessed with respect to the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares in the event that (i) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement has not been filed with the SEC by the closing date; (ii) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement has not been declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) the PIPE Resale Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC but thereafter ceases to be effective or is suspended for more than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty (20) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period; or (iv) ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) fails for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act and the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares are not then registered for resale under the Securities Act during the period commencing from the twelve (12) month anniversary of the closing and ending at such time that all of the Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares may be sold without the requirement for ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Act and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The additional payments by ROCH or ParentCo (as applicable) will accrue on the applicable Pre-Pipe Shares and PIPE Shares at a rate of 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for such shares per month, subject to certain terms and limitations (including a cap of 6.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid for such shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements).
The foregoing descriptions of the Subscription Agreements and the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Form of the Subscription Agreement and the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement, copies of which are included as exhibits to the Registration Statement of which this proxy statement/prospectus forms a part and are incorporated herein by reference.
Background of the Merger
The terms of the Merger Agreement are the result of negotiations between the representatives of ROCH and PCT. The following is a brief description of the background of these negotiations and related transactions.
ROCH is a special purpose acquisition company incorporated as a Delaware corporation on February 13, 2019 and formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses, without limitation as to business, industry or sector, but with a focus on the business services, consumer, healthcare, technology or wellness sectors. ROCH has sought to leverage its management team’s broad network of contacts and corporate relationships, including seasoned executives and operators, private equity investors, family offices, lenders and attorneys, to find an opportunity to leverage its team’s proven track record of both operational and financial success in small and medium sized public companies, and its deep understanding of how to navigate complicated shareholder and capital markets dynamics in a small and mid-cap context for the purpose of effecting a positive transformation of an existing business to improve the overall value proposition while maximizing shareholder value.
On November 12, 2019, ROCH effected a 1 for 21,562.50 dividend in the nature of a stock split that resulted in there being an aggregate of 2,156,250 shares of ROCH Common Stock outstanding and being held by its initial stockholders (the “Founder Shares”).
On May 7, 2020, ROCH consummated its IPO of 7,500,000 ROCH Units. Each ROCH Unit consists of one share of ROCH Common Stock, and three-quarters of one Public Warrant, each whole Public Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one share of ROCH Common Stock at $11.50 per share. The ROCH Units were sold at an offering price of $10.00 per ROCH Unit, generating gross proceeds of $75,000,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the IPO and the sale of the ROCH Units, ROCH consummated

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
a private placement of an aggregate of 262,500 Private Units, consisting of one Private Share and three quarters of Private Warrant at an exercise price of $11.50, at a price of $10.00 per Private Unit, generating total proceeds of $2,625,000.
On May 26, 2020, the underwriters elected to partially exercise their over-allotment option in respect of 150,000 additional ROCH Units, generating gross proceeds of $1,500,000. Simultaneously with the consummation of the partial exercise of the over-allotment option, ROCH consummated an additional private placement of an aggregate of 3,000 additional Private Units, generating total proceeds of $30,000.
A total of $76.5 million of the net proceeds from the IPO (including the partial exercise of the over-allotment option by the underwriters in the IPO) were deposited in the Trust Account established for the benefit of ROCH’s public stockholders. Except for the withdrawal of interest to pay franchise and income taxes, none of the funds held in the Trust Account (including the interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account) will be released from the Trust Account until the earliest to occur of the completion of the initial business combination or the redemption of 100% of the Common Stock held by public stockholders if ROCH is unable to complete the initial business combination by November 7, 2021.
As a result of the underwriters’ partial exercise of the over-allotment option, 243,750 Founder Shares were forfeited back to ROCH.
The Units began trading on May 5, 2020 on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol ROCHU. Commencing on June 11, 2020, the securities comprising the Units began separate trading. The Units, Public Shares, and the Public Warrants are trading on the NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbols “ROCHU,” “ROCH” and “ROCHW,” respectively.
Following the IPO, ROCH’s management team, commenced a comprehensive search for a target business. During the course of this search process, ROCH reviewed and considered numerous target companies and entered into detailed substantive discussions or negotiations with 25 of those targets, including term sheets or letters of intent with three potential business combination target companies. The decision not to pursue alternative acquisition targets was generally the result of ROCH’s determination that each business was not an attractive target due to a combination of business prospects, strategy, management teams, financial performance, structure and valuation differences and unavailability of relevant audited financial statements.
On July 8, 2020, Michael Balkin, a member of the board of directors of Innventure, LLC (“Innventure”), reached out to Byron Roth (“Mr. Roth”), Chairman and CEO of ROCH and Roth Capital Partners, LLC (“Roth”), to discuss the PCT business and both parties agreed to pursue an introduction.
From July 8 to July 15, 2020, ROCH and ROCH management engaged in due diligence of PCT based upon publicly available information. Following ROCH’s and ROCH management’s due diligence, Mr. Roth and John Lipman, COO of ROCH, concluded that it was desirable to engage in direct discussions with PCT management regarding a potential business combination with PCT.
On July 15, 2020, ROCH received the executive summary of the PCT business and conducted its initial virtual meeting with PCT management. During this initial meeting, ROCH was introduced to Michael Otworth, CEO of PCT. On that call, the parties discussed the PCT business generally and, on July 16, ROCH had a follow-up call with PCT management to ask further questions relating to the business and discuss initial diligence questions.
On July 17, 2020, ROCH signed an NDA with Innventure. Innventure is an affiliate of PCT.
On July 19, 2020, ROCH had another conversation with PCT management to better understand the timing and mechanics of any potential process by which ROCH, as a special purpose acquisition vehicle, would acquire PCT.
On July 20, 2020, ROCH was granted data room access hosted by Innventure.
On July 21, 2020, ROCH conducted a conference call with PCT management, to discuss due diligence questions and materials made available by PCT in the data room.

On July 23, 2020, ROCH management conducted a call with Perella Weinberg Partners, a financial adviser to PCT (“PWP”), to discuss due diligence questions, a preliminary letter of intent (the “preliminary LOI”) and, at a high level, the general structure of a possible PIPE Investment (and associated mechanics).
Also on July 23, 2020, Mr. Roth, on behalf of ROCH, sent Mr. Otworth the preliminary LOI, following several days of discussions with PCT and PWP. The initial draft of the preliminary LOI contemplated an $800 million pre-money equity value for PCT. PCT and ROCH proceeded to negotiate the proposed terms and conditions over the following week in parallel with ongoing ROCH due diligence.
During the period from July 24, 2020 through August 26, 2020, ROCH and representatives of ROCH engaged in additional due diligence and review of information, and held discussions with the senior executives and/or shareholders of various potential acquisition targets (including PCT). Also during the period from July 24, 2020 through August 26, 2020, PCT and representatives of PCT held discussions with the senior executives and/or shareholders of various acquirers, all special purpose acquisition companies (including ROCH).
On August 27, 2020, ROCH management conducted a site visit of the FEU in Ironton, Ohio and ROCH and representatives of ROCH engaged in additional due diligence. During the visit, a meeting with Mr. Otworth, ROCH management and representatives of ROCH, and PWP took place, and the terms and conditions of the preliminary LOI were further negotiated and essentially finalized.
On August 30, 2020, ROCH and PCT entered into a non-exclusive letter of intent (the “LOI”) to pursue a business combination. The LOI reflected $850 million in merger consideration to PCT, payable in shares of Common Stock valued at $10.00 per share, and providing for an additional four million shares of Common Stock, two million of which would be issued upon the achievement of a $15.00 share price target within a two year period after closing (the “Target Price Earnout”) and the other two million upon the commencement of operations at the Phase II Facility as certified by an independent engineering firm (together with the Target Price Earnout, the “Earnout”).
During the week of September 1, 2020, ROCH management conducted due diligence calls with customers and strategic partners of PCT, including: L’Oréal, Ravago, Total, Aptar, Milliken, Koch Modular Process Systems, LLC, RTi Global, and P&G.
On September 29, 2020, PCT entered into a Consulting Services Agreement (the “Bird Creek Agreement”) with Bird Creek Capital, LLC (“Bird Creek”) pursuant to which Bird Creek was engaged to provide certain consulting services to PCT, including in connection with the negotiation of PCT’s potential financings and capital structure. Michael Dee served as Managing Member of Bird Creek during this time. From September 29 to November 15, 2020, Bird Creek and Mr. Dee provided consulting services in connection with the Revenue Bonds, the Convertible Notes, the Pre-PIPE Investment (as defined below) and the PIPE Investment, among others.
On October 2, 2020, an initial draft of the Merger Agreement reflecting the terms of the LOI was sent by ROCH’s counsel Loeb & Loeb LLP (“Loeb”) to C-H to be forwarded to PCT and its counsel Jones Day (“JD”).
On October 4, 2020, PCT entered into a Class A Unit purchase agreement with Pure Crown LLC and BMW i Ventures SCS, SICAV RAIF, which provided for the issuance and sale of $10.0 million of Class A Units to Pure Crown LLC and $5.0 million of Class A Units to BMW i Ventures SCS, SICAV RAIF.
On October 5, 2020, PCT entered into a letter agreement with Pure Crown LLC whereby Pure Crown LLC agreed to purchase an additional $15.0 million Class A Units from PCT, provided certain conditions are met.
Also on October 5, 2020, largely as a result of the various financial obligations imposed upon PCT in the Revenue Bond documentation, ROCH and PCT entered into an amendment to the LOI (the “amended LOI”) to reflect a reduced valuation of $775.0 million in merger consideration to PCT and also increased the share price target for the Target Price Earnout to $18.00. The amended LOI also extended the earnout period for the Target Price Earnout to three years after closing.

On October 6, 2020, PCT entered into the Note Purchase Agreement with affiliates of Magnetar Capital, which provided for the initial issuance of $48.0 million of Convertible Notes the following day and an additional issuance of $12.0 million of Convertible Notes within 45 days of entering into a definitive agreement with respect to the proposed business combination. The proceeds of the additional $12.0 million of Convertible Notes, when issued, will be deposited into escrow pending the completion of the Business Combination, at which time the proceeds would be released.
On October 7, 2020, PCT completed its approximately $250.0 million offering of Revenue Bonds and $48.0 million offering of Convertible Notes. After the completion of the Revenue Bond and Convertible Notes financings, PCT began to evaluate financing alternatives in addition to the PIPE Investment to fund the amounts required by the terms of the documents governing the Revenue Bonds, to finance PCT’s interim working capital and operating needs, and to continue construction of the Phase II Facility.
On October 8, 2020, ROCH and PCT further amended and restated the letter of intent (the “amended and restated LOI”) to add a provision regarding 60-day mutual exclusivity and to reference certain tax considerations and, in particular, the new holdings structure contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
Also on October 8, 2020, ROCH engaged Roth, C-H and Oppenheimer (collectively, the “Placement Agents”) to act as placement agents in connection with a PIPE Investment. During the weeks of October 5 and October 12, 2020, ROCH, PCT and the Placement Agents prepared and finalized a presentation for a potential PIPE Investment and negotiated drafts of the Subscription Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, which were prepared by Ellenoff, Grossman & Schole LLP, counsel to the Placement Agents, and reviewed by Loeb and JD. During the week of October 12, 2020, PCT and the Placement Agents commenced initial virtual presentations to potential PIPE investors. These presentations and follow-up due diligence and other calls continued through November 15, 2020.
On October 13, 2020, JD circulated a revised draft of the Merger Agreement.
Between October 13 and November 16, 2020 ROCH, PCT and the legal advisors circulated a number of drafts of the Merger Agreement and negotiated the terms of the Merger Agreement, including provisions related to additional equity contributions by PCT Unitholders, earnout payments upon a change of control, conditionality, adjustments to the merger consideration, the available cash closing condition, access to business relationships, the scope of the interim operating covenants and the composition of the management team.
On October 20, 2020, ROCH management conducted a due diligence call with the independent engineering firm that prepared the independent report on PCT.
On October 21, 2020, following an introduction by Roth, PCT conducted a call with Sylebra Capital to introduce PCT and discuss a possible investment in PCT.
Between November 3 and November 15, 2020, ROCH, PCT and their legal advisors circulated a number of draft employment agreements related to the employment of Michael Otworth, David Brenner, and Michael Dee (together, the “Employment Agreements”). The Employment Agreements were negotiated between PCT, ROCH, the legal advisors and each of Messrs. Otworth, Brenner and Dee, including with respect to base salary, cash bonus, and equity compensation.
On November 4, 2020, ROCH and PCT had a conference call with Sylebra Capital to discuss participation in the PIPE Investment. It was then discussed to consider the PIPE Investment together with a separate $50.0 million private placement of Class A Units (the “Pre-PIPE Investment”) to fund the amounts required by the terms of the documents governing the Revenue Bonds, to finance interim working capital and to finance PCT’s operating needs and continue construction of the Phase II Facility. The parties agreed to the $50.0 million Pre-PIPE Investment and participation in the PIPE Investment. The parties also agreed to engage their legal teams to prepare documentation with respect to the proposed terms of the Pre-PIPE Investment.
Between November 5 and November 11, 2020, legal counsel to PureCycle and Sylebra Capital engaged in a series of conference calls to discuss the proposed terms of the Pre-PIPE Investment of Class A Units.

On November 6, 2020, ROCH agreed to increase the aggregate merger consideration to the PCT Unitholders from $775.0 million to $825.0 million to account for the additional $50.0 million Pre-PIPE Investment.
On November 9, 2020, PCT entered into an engagement letter with Roth, C-H and Oppenheimer to act as placement agents for the private placement to Sylebra Capital.
On November 10, 2020, Sylebra Capital agreed to increase its Pre-PIPE Investment to approximately $60.0 million, and thus raising the aggregate merger consideration to the PCT Unitholders from $825.0 million to $835.0 million to account for the additional $10.0 million Pre-PIPE Investment.
On November 10, 2020, the ROCH board of directors met via conference call and discussed the transaction in detail. Voting was deferred until the final Merger Agreement was completed.
On November 11, 2020, ROCH and PCT further amended the amended and restated LOI to extend the mutual exclusivity provisions to January 8, 2021.
On November 12, 2020, PCT entered into a subscription agreement with entities subject to an investment management agreement or sub-management agreement with Sylebra Capital Limited (together, “Sylebra Capital”) and issued 684,190 Class A Units to Sylebra Capital in exchange for approximately $60.0 million of gross proceeds.
Also on November 12, 2020, the ROCH board of directors met and unanimously (i) approved the signing of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) directed that the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and other proposals necessary to consummate the Business Combination be submitted to ROCH stockholders for approval.
Between November 12 and November 16, 2020, ROCH, PCT and the legal advisors negotiated the remaining terms of the Merger Agreement, which included increasing the implied equity value of PCT to $835.0 million as a result of the Sylebra Investment and discussion regarding the impact of certain employment-related equity grants on such equity value. PCT also continued the negotiation of employment agreements with each of Mr. Otworth, Mr. Dee and Mr. Brenner, which ROCH required to be completed and executed prior to the execution of the Merger Agreement. Messrs. Otworth and Brenner executed their respective employment agreements on November 14, and Mr. Dee executed his employment agreement on November 15.
On November 15, 2020, the PCT board of directors, acting by written consent, unanimously (i) approved the signing of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, and (ii) directed that the Merger Agreement, related transaction documentation and other matters necessary to consummate the Business Combination be submitted to the PCT Unitholders for approval.
On November 16, 2020, at ROCH’s request, the Placement Agents closed the PIPE Investment to new orders and ROCH, PCT and representatives of the Placement Agents reviewed the demand and allocated and capped the PIPE Investment at $250.0 million. At this time, the investors making the PIPE Investment executed the Subscription Agreements and the PIPE Registration Rights Agreement. ROCH and PCT agreed to execute the Merger Agreement before the open of public trading on November 16, 2020 and announced the transaction via press release at approximately 8:00AM ET that morning. At this time, an execution copy of the Merger Agreement was circulated by JD.
On November 16, 2020, ROCH issued a press release announcing the Business Combination and filed a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Merger Agreement.
ROCH’s Board’s Reasons for the Approval of the Business Combination
ROCH was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, capital stock exchange, asset acquisition, stock purchase or other similar business combination with one or more businesses or assets. ROCH sought to do this by utilizing the networks and industry experience of both Roth and C-H to identify, acquire and operate one or more businesses within or outside of the United States, although ROCH was not limited to a particular industry or sector.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
In particular, ROCH’s Board considered the following positive factors, although not weighted or in any order of significance:

Strong Technology Representing Significant Innovation:   PCT’s unique, patented process separates colors, odors and contaminants through a physical purification process (not involving chemical reactions), allowing for a broader range of feedstock than traditional recycling. This purification process and resulting product quality have been tested and validated by P&G, prospective customers and third party engineering specialists.

PCT Secured Significant Investment by Lenders and Satisfied Bond Investor Due Diligence:   PCT’s Construction Indebtedness involve three levels of technology requirements:

Public report regarding independent evaluation of technology;

Scaling risk quantification; and

Infrastructure evaluation.
As well as meeting the following commercial requirements:

Proof of scale up;

20+ year feedstock agreements; and

20+ year offtake agreement.

Strong Management Team:   The PCT management team has broad experience across plastics manufacturing, plant development, technology, R&D, sales, marketing, accounting and finance. PCT Chief Executive Officer Mike Otworth has over 23 years’ experience leading and scaling early stage companies, holding multiple senior management positions with a proven track record of founding and capitalizing startups. Chief Financial Officer Michael Dee was a senior executive at Morgan Stanley and has over 30 years of public markets, corporate finance, and M&A experience. Chief Science Officer John Scott holds a dual Ph.D. in Physics and Astrophysics, authored over 60 academic papers, and was the CEO of the XL TechGroup, the precursor company of Innventure. Chief Commercial Officer David Brenner brings over 15 years’ experience leading transformational projects in a range of industries and was a Senior Manager at Deloitte prior to joining PCT. Director of Technology Jason Vititoe holds two product patents in polystyrene and decades of engineering leadership experience working for Americas Styrenics and Dow Chemical Company. Senior Director of Operations Chris Talarek has over 20 years of operations leadership at BP Oil, P&G, and Timbertech. Combined, the PCT executive team has over 100 years’ experience leading operations and over 70 years operating equipment.

Significant Market Potential:   Polypropylene is one of the most-widely produced polymers globally with annual production in excess of 150 billion pounds and expected to exceed 200 billion pounds by 2024. Recycling rates for waste polypropylene are below 1%, compared to almost 20% for PET, resulting in continuous landfilling of nearly all polypropylene waste. The limited polypropylene recycling conducted today is primarily mechanical recycling, which results in a dark, odorous, non-food grade recycled product with limited applications and is not a viable substitute for virgin polypropylene.

Existing ROCH Trust Account Funds, if not redeemed, could reduce debt on ParentCo’s balance sheet and position it to raise capital more efficiently:   A combination of anticipated proceeds from the ROCH Trust Account (assuming minimal or no redemptions of ROCH’s public shares in connection with the Business Combination) are cumulatively expected to improve ParentCo’s liquidity at closing and allow ParentCo to raise additional funds, including debt, at lower costs to fund continued growth of ParentCo’s operations.

Strong Support from Equity Holders:   PCT’s management and over 70% equity holders have committed to approve the exchange of 100% of PCT’s equity into equity of ParentCo through the PCT Merger.

Support from Debt Holders:   PCT’s Construction Indebtedness contemplates the Business Combination and no further approvals are required.

Other Alternatives.   The Board’s belief, after a thorough review of other business combination opportunities reasonably available to ROCH, that the proposed Business Combination represents the best potential business combination for ROCH based upon the process utilized to evaluate and assess other potential acquisition targets, and the Board’s and management’s belief that such processes had not presented a better alternative.
Interests of Certain Persons in the Business Combination
When you consider the recommendation of the Board in favor of approval of the Merger, you should keep in mind that ROCH’s and PCT’s directors and officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from, or in addition to, your interests as a stockholder, including:

If a proposed business combination is not completed by November 7, 2021 (unless such date has been extended as described below), ROCH will be required to dissolve and liquidate. In such event, the 2,183,000 shares of Common Stock currently held by the Initial Stockholders will be worthless because such holders have agreed to waive their rights to any liquidation distributions. Such shares of Common Stock had an aggregate market value of approximately $22.9 million based on the closing price of the Common Stock of $10.50 on NASDAQ as of November 16, 2020.

The exercise of ROCH’s directors’ and officers’ discretion in agreeing to changes or waivers in the terms of the transaction may result in a conflict of interest when determining whether such changes or waivers are appropriate and in our stockholders’ best interest.

If the Business Combination is completed, PCT Unitholders will have the ability to nominate the majority of the members of the ParentCo board of directors following such completion and one ROCH director will be designated by the Initial Stockholders pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement.

Certain of PCT’s executive officers have interests in the Business Combination that are different from your interests as a stockholder, including (1) employment agreement provisions (including severance protection) that will go into effect upon the consummation of the Business Combination, (2) transaction-related bonus compensation, (3) ownership interests in PCT that will convert into common stock of the Combined Company as a result of the Business Combination, and (4) expected grants of equity awards covering Combined Company common stock that will be granted following the consummation of the Business Combination, all as discussed further below under “PCT Executive Compensation — Employment Agreements/Arrangements with our NEOs — New Employment Agreements,” “PCT Executive Compensation — Severance and Change in Control Compensation” and “ParentCo Management and Governance After the Business Combination.”
Appraisal Rights
There are no appraisal rights available to our stockholders in connection with the Business Combination.
Total Shares of Common Stock Outstanding Upon Consummation of the Business Combination
The total number of shares of Combined Company Common Stock to be issued and outstanding immediately following completion of the Business Combination will be 118,328,000. We anticipate that the PCT Unitholders will hold 70.6% of the Combined Company’s outstanding Common Stock, the PIPE Investors will hold 21.1% and the current ROCH stockholders will hold 8.3% immediately following completion of the Business Combination. This percentage (i) assumes that no Public Shares are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, (ii) does not take into account any equity awards that may be issued under the proposed Equity Plan following the Business Combination, and (iii) does not take into account any Assumed Indebtedness adjustments to the Aggregate Consideration.
Anticipated Accounting Treatment
The Business Combination will be accounted for as a “reverse recapitalization” in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, ROCH will be treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. This determination is primarily based on the fact that subsequent to the Business
 
62

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Combination, the PCT Unitholders are expected to have a majority of the voting power of the Combined Company, PCT will comprise all of the ongoing operations of the Combined Company, PCT will comprise a majority of the governing body of the Combined Company, and PCT’s senior management will comprise all of the senior management of the Combined Company. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination will be treated as the equivalent of PCT issuing shares for the net assets of ROCH, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of ROCH will be stated at historical costs. No goodwill or other intangible assets will be recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of PCT.
Redemption Rights
Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, holders of Public Shares may elect to have their shares redeemed for cash at the applicable redemption price per share equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (i) the aggregate amount on deposit in the Trust Account as of two business days prior to the consummation of the Business Combination, including interest (net of taxes payable), by (ii) the total number of then-outstanding Public Shares. As of November 9, 2020, this would have amounted to approximately $10.00 per share.
You will be entitled to receive cash for any Public Shares to be redeemed only if you:
(i)
(a)
hold Public Shares, or
(b)
hold Public Shares through ROCH Units and you elect to separate your ROCH Units into the underlying Public Shares prior to exercising your redemption rights with respect to the Public Shares; and
(ii)
prior to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on     ,     , (a) submit a written request to Continental that ROCH redeem your Public Shares for cash and (b) deliver your Public Shares to Continental, physically or electronically through DTC.
Holders of outstanding ROCH Units must separate the underlying shares of common stock prior to exercising redemption rights with respect to the underlying Public Shares. If the ROCH Units are registered in a holder’s own name, the holder must deliver the certificate for its ROCH Units to Continental, with written instructions to separate the ROCH Units into their individual component parts. This must be completed far enough in advance to permit the mailing of the certificates back to the holder so that the holder may then exercise his, her or its redemption rights upon the separation of the Public Shares from the ROCH Units.
If a holder exercises its redemption rights, then such holder will be exchanging its Public Shares for cash and will no longer own shares of the Combined Company. Such a holder will be entitled to receive cash for its Public Shares only if it properly demands redemption and delivers its shares (either physically or electronically) to Continental in accordance with the procedures described herein. Please see the section entitled “The ROCH Special Meeting — Redemption Rights” for the procedures to be followed if you wish to redeem your Public Shares for cash.
Vote Required for Approval
Along with the approval of the NASDAQ Proposal and the Equity Plan Proposal, approval of this Business Combination Proposal is a condition to the consummation of the Business Combination. If this Business Combination Proposal is not approved, the Business Combination will not take place. Approval of this Business Combination Proposal is also a condition to Proposal 2 and Proposal 3. Furthermore, if the NASDAQ Proposal and the Equity Plan Proposal are not approved, this Business Combination Proposal will have no effect (even if approved by the requisite vote of our stockholders at the Special Meeting) and the Business Combination will not occur.
This Business Combination Proposal (and consequently, the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby, including the Business Combination) will be approved and adopted only if holders of at least a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting vote “FOR” the Business Combination Proposal.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
PROPOSAL NO. 2 — THE NASDAQ PROPOSAL
Overview
ROCH is asking its stockholders to approve the NASDAQ Proposal in order to comply with NASDAQ Listing Rules 5635(a), and (d). Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(a), stockholder approval is required prior to the issuance of securities in connection with the acquisition of another company if such securities are not issued in a public offering and (A) have, or will have upon issuance, voting power equal to or in excess of 20% of the voting power outstanding before the issuance of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock); or (B) the number of shares of common stock to be issued is or will be equal to or in excess of 20% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding before the issuance of the stock or securities. Under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), stockholder approval is required for a transaction other than a public offering involving the sale, issuance or potential issuance by an issuer of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the binding agreement, if the number of shares of common stock (or securities convertible into or exercisable for common stock) to be issued equals to 20% or more of the common stock, or 20% or more of the voting power, outstanding before the issuance.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, ParentCo expects to issue 83,500,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock to the PCT Unitholders in the Business Combination, subject to the Assumed Indebtedness adjustment as set forth in the Merger Agreement. See the section entitled “Proposal No. 1 — The Business Combination Proposal — The Merger Agreement — Consideration.” Because the number of shares of common stock we anticipate issuing as consideration in the Merger will constitute more than 20% of our outstanding common stock and more than 20% of outstanding voting power prior to such issuance, ParentCo may be required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuance pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(a).
In connection with the Business Combination, there will be a PIPE Investment of $250.0 million. As such, on or about the date of the Merger Agreement, ROCH entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors for the sale of 25,000,000 shares of Common Stock , which will be immediately exchanged for shares of ParentCo Common Stock, upon the completion of the RH Merger. Because the shares of the Common Stock issued in connection with the PIPE Investment (1) will be at a price that is less than the lower of (i) the closing price immediately preceding the signing of the Merger Agreement or (ii) the average closing price of the Common Stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the signing of the Merger Agreement, and (2) will constitute more than 20% of our outstanding Common Stock and more than 20% of outstanding voting power prior to such issuance, ROCH is required to obtain stockholder approval of such issuance pursuant to NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(a) and (d).
Effect of Proposal on Current Stockholders
If the NASDAQ Proposal is adopted, ROCH would issue shares representing more than 20% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock in connection with the Business Combination and the PIPE Investment. The issuance of such shares would result in significant dilution to the ROCH stockholders and would afford such stockholders a smaller percentage interest in the voting power, liquidation value and aggregate book value of ROCH. If the NASDAQ Proposal is adopted, assuming that 83,500,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock are issued to the PCT Unitholders as consideration in the Business Combination, and 25,000,000 shares of ParentCo Common Stock are issued to the PIPE investors, we anticipate that the PCT Unitholders will hold 70.6% of ParentCo’s outstanding shares of common stock, the PIPE Investors will hold 21.1% and the current ROCH stockholders will hold 8.3% immediately following completion of the Business Combination. This percentage assumes that no shares of Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Business Combination, does not take into account any warrants or options to purchase ParentCo Common Stock that will be outstanding following the Business Combination, any equity awards that may be issued under the proposed Equity Plan following the Business Combination, or any Assumed Indebtedness adjustment to the Aggregate Consideration provided for in the Merger Agreement.
If the NASDAQ Proposal is not approved and ROCH consummates the Business Combination on its current terms, ROCH would be in violation of NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(a) and (b) and potentially
 
65

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
NASDAQ Listing Rule 5635(d), which could result in the delisting of ROCH’s securities from the Nasdaq Capital Market. If NASDAQ delists ROCH’s securities from trading on its exchange, ROCH stockholders could face significant material adverse consequences, including:

a limited availability of market quotations for ROCH securities;

reduced liquidity with respect to ROCH securities;

a determination that ROCH shares are a “penny stock,” which will require brokers trading in our securities to adhere to more stringent rules, possibly resulting in a reduced level of trading activity in the secondary trading market for ROCH securities;

a limited amount of news and analyst coverage for the post-transaction company; and

a decreased ability to issue additional securities or obtain additional financing in the future.
It is a condition to the obligations of ROCH and PCT to close the Business Combination that ParentCo’s common stock be approved for listing on NASDAQ. As a result, if the NASDAQ Proposal is not adopted, the Business Combination may not be completed.
Vote Required for Approval
Assuming that a quorum is present at the Special Meeting, the affirmative vote of the majority of the issued and outstanding shares of common stock present by virtual attendance or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting on this Proposal 2 is required to approve the NASDAQ Proposal. Accordingly, a stockholder’s failure to vote online during the Special Meeting or by proxy will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 2. A broker non-vote in not considered as such shares of Common Stock are not entitled to vote at the Special Meeting and thus will have no effect on the outcome of this proposal.
This Proposal 2 is conditioned on the approval of the Business Combination Proposal. If the Business Combination Proposal is not approved, Proposal 2 will have no effect even if approved by our stockholders. Because stockholder approval of this Proposal 2 is a condition to completion of the Business Combination under the Merger Agreement, if this Proposal 2 is not approved by ROCH stockholders, the Business Combination will not occur unless we and PCT waive the applicable closing condition.

PROPOSAL NO. 3  — THE EQUITY PLAN PROPOSAL
APPROVAL OF THE PURECYCLE TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
2021 EQUITY AND INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN
Overview
The ParentCo Board is expected to approve the PureCycle Technologies, Inc. 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Equity Plan”) subject to the approval of ROCH stockholders of this proposal. We are seeking stockholder approval of the Equity Plan (i) in order to comply with NASDAQ listing rules and (ii) in order for incentive stock options that may be granted thereunder to meet the requirements of the Code.
The ParentCo Board believes that the approval of the Equity Plan by stockholders will benefit the compensation structure and strategy of the Combined Company. The Combined Company’s ability to attract, retain and motivate top quality non-employee directors, employees and other service providers is material to its success, and the ParentCo Board has concluded that this would be enhanced by the Combined Company’s ability to make grants under the Equity Plan. In addition, our ParentCo Board believes that the interests of the Combined Company and its stockholders will be advanced if the Combined Company can offer non-employee directors, employees and other service providers the opportunity to acquire or increase their proprietary interests in the Combined Company.
Set forth below is a summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Equity Plan, a copy of which is attached to this proxy statement/prospectus as Annex B. We urge ROCH stockholders to read carefully the entire Equity Plan before voting on this proposal.
If approved by the ParentCo Board and ROCH stockholders, the Equity Plan will become effective upon the consummation of the Business Combination.
Purpose of the Equity Plan
The purpose of the Equity Plan is to allow the Combined Company to provide cash awards and equity-based compensation in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), performance shares, performance units, dividend equivalents, and certain other awards, including those denominated or payable in, or otherwise based on, shares of the Combined Company’s common stock, for the purpose of providing incentives and rewards for service and/or performance to the Combined Company’s non-employee directors, as well as officers, employees and certain consultants of the Combined Company and its subsidiaries. The Equity Plan will afford the Compensation Committee (as defined below) the ability to design compensatory awards that are responsive to the Combined Company’s needs and authorizes a variety of award types designed to advance the interests and long-term success of the Combined Company by encouraging stock ownership among its participants. In addition, the Board believes that the ability to grant cash and equity-based awards will help the Combined Company to attract, retain, and motivate employees, consultants, and directors and encourage them to devote their best efforts to the Combined Company’s business and financial success. Approval of the Equity Plan by ROCH stockholders will allow the Combined Company to grant awards at levels determined appropriate by its administrator following the closing of the Business Combination. In the event that ROCH stockholders do not approve this proposal, the Equity Plan will not become effective. If approved,             shares of common stock of the Combined Company, par value $0.001 (for purposes of this proposal, “Common Stock”) will be initially reserved for issuance under the Equity Plan. On the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, the number of shares reserved for issuance will increase by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller amount as may be determined by the Board. Based on the closing price on NASDAQ of ROCH’s common stock on            ,      of $       per share, the aggregate market value as of            ,      of the initial             shares of Common Stock requested under the Equity Plan was $           .

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Promotion of Good Corporate Governance Practices
The Board believes the use of stock-based incentive awards promotes best practices in corporate governance by incentivizing the creation of stockholder value. By providing participants in the Equity Plan with a stake in the Combined Company’s success, the interests of the participants are further aligned with those of stockholders. Specific features of the Equity Plan that are consistent with commonly viewed good corporate governance practices include, but are not limited to:

the Equity Plan prohibits the grant of dividend equivalents with respect to options and SARs and subjects all dividends and dividend equivalents paid with respect to other awards to the same vesting conditions as the underlying shares subject to the awards;

the Equity Plan does not contain a liberal change in control definition;

except in connection with a corporate transaction, options and SARs under the Equity Plan may not be granted with exercise or base prices lower than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date;

outside of certain corporate transactions or adjustment events described in the Equity Plan or in connection with a “change in control,” the exercise or base price of stock options and SARs cannot be reduced, and “underwater” stock options or SARs cannot be cancelled in exchange for cash or replaced with other awards with a lower exercise or base price, without stockholder approval under the Equity Plan; and

non-employee directors may not be awarded compensation for their service as a director having an aggregate maximum value on the grant date that exceeds $750,000 during any calendar year, and such limit may not be amended without first seeking stockholder approval.
Potential Dilution
The initial number of shares that may be issued under the Equity Plan represents approximately       percent of the total number of shares of Common Stock that will be outstanding after the closing of the Business Combination. This initial number of shares will increase on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller amount as may be determined by the Board.
Summary of the Equity Plan
The following summary of the material terms of the Equity Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to a copy of the Equity Plan, which is set forth in Annex B.
Administration
The Equity Plan will generally be administered by the compensation committee (or its successor) of the Combined Company’s board of directors (for purposes of this proposal, the “Compensation Committee”), or any other committee of the Combined Company’s board of directors (the “Combined Company Board”) designated by the Combined Company Board to administer the Equity Plan. However, at the Combined Company Board’s discretion, the Equity Plan may be administered by the Combined Company Board, including with respect to the administration of any responsibilities and duties held by the Compensation Committee under the Equity Plan. References to the “Committee” in this proposal generally refer to the Compensation Committee or such other committee designated by the Combined Company Board, or the Combined Company Board, as applicable. Among other responsibilities, the Committee will select participants and determine the type of awards to be granted to participants, the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by awards and the terms and conditions of awards, interpret the Equity Plan and awards granted under it, and make any other determination and take any other action that it deems necessary or desirable to administer the Equity Plan The Committee may from time to time delegate all or any part of its authority under the Equity Plan as permitted by the Equity Plan and applicable law. In addition, the Committee may by resolution, subject to certain restrictions set forth in the Equity Plan, authorize one or more officers of the Combined Company to (1) designate employees to be recipients of awards under the Equity Plan,
 
68

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
and (2) determine the size of such awards. The Committee may not, however, delegate such responsibilities to officers for awards granted to non-employee directors or certain officers who are subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Exchange Act.
Eligibility
Any person who is selected by the Committee to receive benefits under the Equity Plan and who is at that time an officer or other employee of the Combined Company or any of its subsidiaries (including a person who has agreed to commence serving in such capacity within 90 days of the date of grant) is eligible to participate in the Equity Plan. In addition, non-employee directors of the Combined Company and certain persons (including consultants) who provide services to the Combined Company or any of its subsidiaries that are equivalent to those typically provided by an employee (provided such persons satisfy the Form S-8 definition of “employee”), may also be selected by the Committee to participate in the Equity Plan. Based on current expectations as of November 16, 2020, there will be approximately 33 employees of the Combined Company or its subsidiaries and 6 non-employee directors of the Combined Company eligible to participate in the Equity Plan following the Business Combination, if selected by the Committee. Although the Equity Plan permits participation by consultants, there are currently no consultants who are expected to participate in the Equity Plan following the Business Combination. The basis for participation in the Equity Plan by eligible persons is the selection of such persons for participation by the Committee (or its proper delegate) in its discretion.
Shares available for awards under the Equity Plan
Subject to adjustment as described in the Equity Plan and the Equity Plan’s share counting rules, the number of shares of Common Stock available under the Equity Plan for awards of:

stock options or SARs;

restricted stock;

RSUs;

performance shares or performance units;

other stock-based awards under the Equity Plan; or

dividend equivalents paid with respect to awards under the Equity Plan
will not exceed, in the aggregate,             shares of Common Stock (the “Share Limit”) plus Common Stock that becomes available under the Equity Plan as a result of forfeiture, cancellation, expiration, cash settlement or less-than-maximum earning of Equity Plan awards after the effective date of the Equity Plan. The Share Limit will be automatically increased on the first day of each fiscal year, beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031, by an amount equal to the lesser of (i) 3% of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the last day of the immediately preceding fiscal year and (ii) such smaller number of shares as determined by the Board.
If any award granted under the Equity Plan expires unexercised, is canceled, forfeited, settled in cash or unearned (in whole or in part), shares of Common Stock subject to such award will again be made available for future grants under the Equity Plan. Use of shares of our common stock to pay the required exercise price or tax obligations, or shares not issued in connection with settlement of an option or stock-settled SAR, or reacquired by the Combined Company on the open market or otherwise using cash proceeds from the exercise of an option will not be available again for other awards under the Equity Plan; provided, however, that shares of our common stock used to satisfy tax obligations for awards other than stock options and SARs will be available for issuance again under the Equity Plan (for up to 10 years from the date of stockholder approval of the Equity Plan if such recycling involves shares that have already been issued). If a participant elects to give up the right to receive compensation in exchange for shares of common stock based on fair market value, such shares of common stock will not count against the aggregate limit of shares authorized under the Equity Plan to the extent permitted by applicable laws and regulations.
Subject to adjustment as provided in the Equity Plan, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock actually issued or transferred upon the exercise of stock options that are intended to qualify as
 
69

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
“incentive stock options” under Section 422 of the Code will not exceed             shares of Common Stock (the “ISO Limit”), provided that the ISO Limit will increase by             shares of Common Stock on the first day of each fiscal year beginning in 2022 and ending in 2031 (subject in all events to the Share Limit).
Types of awards under the Equity Plan
Pursuant to the Equity Plan, the Combined Company may grant cash awards and stock options, SARs, restricted stock, RSUs, performance shares, performance units, and certain other awards based on or related to the Common Stock.
Generally, each grant of an award under the Equity Plan will be evidenced by an award agreement, certificate, resolution or other type or form of writing or other evidence approved by the Committee (an “Evidence of Award”), which will contain such terms and provisions as the Committee may determine, consistent with the Equity Plan. A brief description of the types of awards which may be granted under the Equity Plan is set forth below.

A stock option is a right to purchase Common Stock upon exercise of the stock option. Stock options granted to an employee under the Equity Plan may consist of either a stock option intended to be an “incentive stock option” as defined in Section 422 of the Code or a non-qualified stock option, or a combination of both. Incentive stock options may only be granted to employees of the Combined Company or certain of its related corporations. Except with respect to awards issued in substitution for, in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of stock options held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate transaction (including an acquisition or merger) with the Combined Company or any of its subsidiaries, stock options must have an exercise price per share of Common Stock that is not less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of a stock option may not extend more than 10 years from the date of grant. The Committee may provide in an Evidence of Award for the automatic exercise of a stock option.
Each grant of a stock option will specify the applicable terms of the stock option, including the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the stock option and the required period or periods of the participant’s continuous service, if any, before any stock option or portion of a stock option will become exercisable. Stock options may provide for continued vesting or the earlier exercise of the stock options, including in the event of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment or service of the participant or in the event of a change in control.
Any grant of stock options may specify management objectives regarding the vesting of the stock options. Each grant will specify whether the consideration to be paid in satisfaction of the exercise price will be payable: (1) in cash, by check acceptable to the Combined Company, or by wire transfer of immediately available funds; (2) by the actual or constructive transfer to the Combined Company of Common Stock owned by the participant with a value at the time of exercise that is equal to the total exercise price; (3) subject to any conditions or limitations established by the Committee, by a net exercise arrangement pursuant to which the Combined Company will withhold Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise of a stock option; (4) by a combination of the foregoing methods; or (5) by such other methods as may be approved by the Committee. To the extent permitted by law, any grant may provide for deferred payment of the exercise price from the proceeds of a sale through a bank or broker of some or all of the shares to which the exercise relates. Stock options granted under the Equity Plan may not provide for dividends or dividend equivalents.
SARs
The Committee may, from time to time and upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, authorize the granting of SARs. A SAR is a right to receive from the Combined Company an amount equal to 100%, or such lesser percentage as the Committee may determine, of the spread between the base price and the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Each grant of SARs will specify the period or periods of continuous service, if any, by the participant with the Combined Company or any subsidiary that is necessary before the SARs or installments of such SARs will become exercisable. SARs may provide for continued vesting or earlier exercise, including in the case of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment or service of the participant or in the event of a change in control. Any grant of SARs may specify management objectives regarding the vesting of such SARs. A SAR may be paid in cash, Common Stock or any combination of the two.
Except with respect to awards issued in substitution for, in conversion of, or in connection with an assumption of SARs held by awardees of an entity engaging in a corporate transaction (including an acquisition or merger) with the Combined Company or any of its subsidiaries, the base price of a SAR may not be less than the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant. The term of a SAR may not extend more than 10 years from the date of grant. SARs granted under the Equity Plan may not provide for dividends or dividend equivalents.
Restricted Stock
Restricted stock constitutes an immediate transfer of the ownership of shares of Common Stock to the participant in consideration of the performance of services, entitling such participant to voting, dividend and other ownership rights, but subject to the substantial risk of forfeiture and restrictions on transfer determined by the Committee for a period of time determined by the Committee or until certain management objectives specified by the Committee are achieved. Each such grant or sale of restricted stock may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by the participant that is less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant.
Any grant of restricted stock may specify management objectives regarding the vesting of the restricted stock. Any grant of restricted stock may require that any and all dividends or other distributions paid on restricted stock that remains subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture be automatically deferred and/or reinvested in additional restricted stock, which will be subject to the same restrictions as the underlying restricted stock, but any such dividends or other distributions on restricted stock must be deferred until, and paid contingent upon, the vesting of such restricted stock. Restricted stock may provide for continued vesting or the earlier vesting of such restricted stock, including in the event of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment or service of the participant or in the event of a change in control.
RSUs
RSUs awarded under the Equity Plan constitute an agreement by the Combined Company to deliver Common Stock, cash, or a combination of the two, to the participant in the future in consideration of the performance of services, but subject to the fulfillment of such conditions (which may include achievement regarding management objectives) during the restriction period as the Committee may specify. Each grant or sale of RSUs may be made without additional consideration or in consideration of a payment by the participant that is less than the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date of grant.
RSUs may provide for continued vesting or the earlier lapse or other modification of the restriction period, including in the event of retirement, death, disability or termination of employment or service of the participant or in the event of a change in control. During the restriction period applicable to RSUs, the participant will have no right to transfer any rights under the award and will have no rights of ownership in the Common Stock deliverable upon payment of the RSUs and no right to vote them. Rights to dividend equivalents may be extended to and made part of any RSU award at the discretion of the Committee, on a deferred and contingent basis, either in cash or in additional shares of Common Stock, based upon the vesting of such RSUs. Each grant or sale of RSUs will specify the time and manner of payment of the RSUs that have been earned. An RSU may be paid in cash, Common Stock or any combination of the two.
Performance shares, performance units and cash incentive awards
Performance shares, performance units and cash incentive awards may also be granted to participants under the Equity Plan. A performance share is a bookkeeping entry that records the equivalent of one share of Common Stock, and a performance unit is a bookkeeping entry that records a unit equivalent to $1.00 or such other value as determined by the Committee. Performance shares and performance units each may be
