## Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On October 28, 2025, the board of directors (the "Board") of PureCycle Technologies, Inc. (the "Company"), upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, appointed Dr. Siri Jirapongphan as a director of the Company, effective October 28, 2025. The Board anticipates naming Dr. Jirapongphan to serve on the Operational Excellence Committee. There are no arrangements or understandings between Dr. Jirapongphan and any other persons pursuant to which Dr. Jirapongphan was selected as a director. Dr. Jirapongphan has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K, other than Dr. Jirapongphan's prior purchase, in a private placement transaction, of 300 shares of the Company's Series B Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share, at an initial issue price of $1,000 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $300,000, which closed on June 20, 2025.

Dr. Jirapongphan will participate in a compensatory arrangement that is consistent with the Company's compensation program for non-employee directors, as determined by the Board from time to time. A description of this program is set forth in the section entitled "Director Compensation" in the Company's Definitive Proxy Statement for the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 28, 2025. Pursuant to this program, on October 28, 2025, Dr. Jirapongphan was granted an initial annual non-employee director award of restricted stock units, prorated for the six-month period until the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, with a grant date value of $62,500. This grant will be subject to the terms and conditions of the Company's 2021 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. Additionally, Dr. Jirapongphan will enter into an indemnification agreement with the Company that is consistent with the standard form that was summarized in and filed as Exhibit 10.5 to the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 22, 2021. The Board determined that Dr. Jirapongphan qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC.

Dr. Jirapongphan, 71, has served as an independent director of Bangkok Bank PLC, a provider of commercial banking and financial services in Thailand and internationally, since July 2020 and as Chairman of the Audit Committee of Bangkok Bank PLC since April 2022. Additionally, he has served as Director and Treasurer of the Petroleum and Energy Institute of Thailand Foundation, a non-profit organization that supports the upstream oil and gas industry and the downstream petroleum industry in Thailand, since October 2021. From April 2022 through March 2024, Dr. Jirapongphan served as Chairman of the board of directors of IRPC PLC, a petroleum and petrochemical company in Thailand. Further, Dr. Jirapongphan previously served in several roles with public commissions in Thailand and in commercial organizations, including as a member of the board of directors of PTT Global Chemical PLC, a petrochemical and refining company. Dr. Jirapongphan received a Doctor's Degree in Chemical Engineering from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a Bachelor's Degree in Chemical Engineering (with Honors) from the California Institute of Technology. The Company believes Dr. Jirapongphan is qualified to serve as a director for the Company due to his deep understanding of the Thailand markets, as well as his technical expertise.

On October 30, 2025, Jeffrey R. Fieler advised the Company of his decision to resign from the Board effective immediately. Mr. Fieler's decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices. In connection with his resignation, the Board agreed to provide for an immediate vesting of Mr. Fieler's 2025 non-employee director grant pro-rated for the six months of the current one-year term on which he served as a director on the Board.
