Exhibit 99.1

 

PureCycle Technologies Appoints Lawrence Somma as Chief Financial Officer

 

ORLANDO, Fla.–Nov. 4, 2021– PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: PCT) announced today that Lawrence “Larry” Somma has joined the innovative plastics recycling company as the next Chief Financial Officer (CFO). Somma will lead PureCycle’s financial strategy as the Company seeks to transition to a revenue-generating growth business.

 

Somma comes to PureCycle with nearly three decades of experience in the corporate finance sector at world-class publicly traded companies within the plastics, manufacturing, hospitality and consumer goods industries. Most recently, Somma spent eight years at LyondellBasell Industries N.V., where he served as vice president of finance strategy and transformation for two years and vice president, corporate treasurer for six years.

 

Mike Otworth, CEO, PureCycle, said, “I’m thrilled to welcome Larry to PureCycle. He has the deep financial experience and industry knowledge to lead our financial team and capital strategy during the next phase of our growth. Larry will bring a valuable perspective to PureCycle as we continue to successfully execute our vision and objectives relative to scaling the business globally. With our Ironton, Ohio facility slated for expected completion in the fourth quarter of 2022 and our Augusta facility in its beginning stages of development, Larry’s experience will be critical in helping us fuel further growth.”

 

As a financial leader, Somma’s experiences include developing global finance strategies, raising project and corporate capital, overseeing treasury operations and liquidity management, leading enterprise risk management (ERM), and managing financial risk, including foreign exchange, commodity, and interest rate. In his recent role as a corporate treasurer, he completed six debt issuances (USD and EUR) totaling $6 billion. Somma has also had an expatriate assignment leading a procurement team, managed investor relations activity and was a leading team member for an initial public offering (IPO), a corporate spin-off and a leveraged buyout (LBO).

 

Somma holds an M.B.A in Finance from the University of Buffalo (1992), as well as a M.E. in Engineering Management (1989) and B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (1988) from Cornell University.

 

Larry Somma said, “PureCycle is taking meaningful action to help end the plastic waste crisis and I’m proud to be joining this team. PureCycle has experienced meaningful expansion and success already and I’m incredibly excited to deploy my financial expertise, business contacts, and perspective to help PureCycle scale and bring this revolutionary idea and technology to market.”

 

Somma will succeed Michael Dee, who served as the Company’s CFO since the November 2020 announcement of the merger with ROCH Acquisition I. Dee spearheaded the raising of close to $750 million for PureCycle’s expansion and helped ensure the completion of the merger into a publicly listed company. Dee will ensure a seamless transition and assume an advisory role for the next 60 days.

 

Michael Dee, CFO, PureCycle, said, “In a 40-year financial career, PureCycle is one of the most exciting companies I have worked with. To have been part of such an extraordinary team who will solve a significant portion of our global plastic pollution crisis has been both rewarding and thrilling.”

 

Otworth added, “I’d like to thank Michael Dee for his tremendous work over the past year here at PureCycle. He has played an instrumental role in advancing our company to where we are today. His years of experience and knowledge of financial institutions helped PureCycle achieve a successful merger into a public company and secure much needed capital to build our flagship facility.”

 

Somma is expected to begin as PureCycle’s new CFO on Monday, Nov. 15, 2021.
