On June 5, 2025, Radius Recycling, Inc., an Oregon corporation ("Radius") held a special meeting of shareholders (the "Radius Special Meeting") at which holders of Radius' Class A common stock, par value $1.00 per share, and Class B common stock, par value $1.00 per share (collectively, "Radius Common Stock"), voting together as a single class, approved each of the proposals voted on at the Radius Special Meeting relating to the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 13, 2025 (as it may be amended or modified from time to time, the "Merger Agreement"), by and among Radius, Toyota Tsusho America, Inc., a New York corporation ("Parent"), and TAI Merger Corporation, a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("Merger Sub"). Of the 28,201,804 shares of Radius Common Stock issued and outstanding at the close of business on April 23, 2025, the record date for the Radius Special Meeting, 20,475,937 shares of Radius Common Stock were present or represented by proxy at the Radius Special Meeting, which constituted a quorum. The voting results were as follows:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1. The proposal to approve the Merger Agreement, pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Merger Sub will be merged with and into Radius (the "Merger"), the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will
 cease, and Radius will survive the Merger as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (the "Merger Proposal"):

| **Votes For** | **Votes Against** | **Abstentions** | **Broker Non-Votes** |
| 20,385,873 | 46,754 | 43,310 | 0 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2. The proposal to approve, on a non-binding, advisory basis, certain compensation that will or may be paid to Radius' named executive officers in connection with the Merger:

---

| | | | |
|:---|:---|:---|:---|
| **Votes For** | **Votes Against** | **Abstentions** | **Broker Non-Votes** |
| 18,631,538 | 1,696,420 | 147,979 | 0 |

---

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3. In connection with the Radius Special Meeting, the board of directors of Radius also solicited proxies with respect to the proposal to adjourn the Radius Special Meeting from time to time, as determined in accordance with the Merger
 Agreement by the board of directors of Radius, including for the purpose of soliciting additional votes for the approval of the Merger Proposal if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Radius Special Meeting to approve the Merger
 Proposal (the "Adjournment Proposal"). The Adjournment Proposal was not submitted to Radius shareholders for approval at the Radius Special Meeting because a quorum of shareholders entitled to vote at the Radius Special Meeting was present
 or represented by proxy and the Radius shareholders approved the Merger Proposal.

Assuming timely satisfaction of necessary closing conditions, the parties to the Merger Agreement expect the Merger to close during the second half of calendar year 2025.

You should not rely upon forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report.
