Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOOP) (the "Company," "Loop," "we," "us," or "our"), a clean technology company whose mission is to accelerate a circular plastics economy by manufacturing 100% recycled polyethylene terephthalate ("PET") plastic and textile-to-textile ("T2T") polyester fiber, today reported its consolidated financial results for the third quarter for fiscal year 2025 and provided an update on business developments.

Transactions with Reed Societe General Group

On December 23, 2024, Loop closed its financing and technology licensing transactions for total cash proceeds of $20.8 million (€20 million) with Reed Societe Generale Group, a European investment firm majority-owned by Societe Generale. These transactions mark a pivotal step in Loop's commercialization strategy, enabling the deployment of our patented recycling technology across Europe and supporting capital investment in cost-effective manufacturing regions, including our joint venture in India with strategic partner Ester Industries Ltd ("Ester"). Proceeds from the financing and licensing deal will be utilized to fund the Indian project and Loop's operational cash flow needs.

As part of the financing transaction, Loop issued 1,044,430 shares of Series B Convertible Preferred Stock ("Series B Shares") to Reed Circular Economy, an affiliate of Reed Societe General Group, at $10.00 per share, generating total proceeds of approximately $10.4 million (€10 million). The Series B Shares bear a 13% PIK dividend and are convertible to Loop common stock at $4.75 per share or redeemable in cash.

As part of the licensing transaction, Loop sold its first license to deploy Loop's proprietary depolymerization technology in a single Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facility in Europe for an up-front payment of $10.4 million (€10 million). The technology license includes two additional payments based on milestones. Loop also expects to generate engineering fees for the provision of engineering packages and support services for all Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities and future facilities under this partnership will require the purchase of additional technology licenses from Loop.

The technology license sold by Loop will be utilized by a European partnership owned 90% by Reed Circular Economy and 10% by Loop, which is being formed to develop Infinite Loop™ manufacturing facilities in Europe. Loop retains the right to increase its equity stake in the European manufacturing facility, as well as potential future facilities, to a maximum of 50% for each facility.
