#1Creating a Circular and Sustainable Battery Supply Chain Investor Presentation August 2023 +Li-Cycle Li-Cycle L-G EN WIE KENCU TOYOTA 10#2Disclaimer FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND UNAUDITED RESULTS Certain statements contained in this presentation may be considered "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended, Section 21 of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and applicable Canadian securities laws. Forward-looking statements may generally be identified by the use of words such as "believe", "may", "will", "continue", "anticipate", "intend", "expect", "should", "would", "could", "plan", "potential", "future", "target" or other similar expressions that predict or indicate future events or trends or that are not statements of historical matters, although not all forward-looking statements contain such identifying words. Forward-looking statements in this presentation include but are not limited to statements about: TAM and recycling capacity estimates; expectations regarding achievement of various ESG milestones; expectations regarding growth with commercial partnerships; expectations regarding the achievement of various milestones and initiation of commissioning of the Rochester Hub in the $560 million range, and the Hub's black mass processing capacity; expected completion of a definitive feasibility study with Glencore, and the possible joint development and commissioning of a Hub facility in Portovesme, Italy, including expected timing for the achievement of various milestones; expected total annual lithium carbonate production capacity at the Rochester and Portovesme Hubs, once fully operational; expectation that Spoke network expansion will drive portfolio growth and diversify feedstock sources; expectations regarding the opening and processing capacity of Spokes under development; expectations regarding a potential new Spoke in Hungary; expectation that Spokes will have total (existing, 2023 planned and future planned) LIB processing capacity of 106,000 tonnes/year; expected closing of a $375 million loan from the DOE in September 2023; expectation that cash on hand and continued strategic funding commitments will support global network growth plans; expectation that IRA will accelerate clean energy transition, significantly benefiting the industry and Li-Cycle; expected FY 2023 business outlook, including an increase in black mass production to 7,500-8,500 tonnes, the start of a black mass inventory build in second half of 2023, capital allocation for Spoke ($35-$45 million) & Hub ($250-$300 million) network growth, and optimizing of financial flexibility for growth with the expected closing of the DOE loan commitment. ● . These statements are based on various assumptions, whether or not identified in this presentation, made by Li-Cycle management, including but not limited to assumptions regarding the timing, scope and cost of Li-Cycle's projects; the processing capacity and production of Li-Cycle's facilities; Li-Cycle's ability to source feedstock and manage supply chain risk; Li-Cycle's ability to increase recycling capacity and efficiency; Li-Cycle's ability to obtain financing on acceptable terms; Li-Cycle's ability to retain and hire key personnel and maintain relationships with customers, suppliers and other business partners; general economic conditions; currency exchange and interest rates; compensation costs; and inflation. There can be no assurance that such assumptions will prove to be correct and, as a result, actual results or events may differ materially from expectations expressed in or implied by the forward-looking statements. On December 21, 2022, Li-Cycle's Board of Directors approved a change in the Company's fiscal year end from October 31 to December 31. Li-Cycle's next financial year will cover the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. As a result, references in this presentation to "FY 2023" refers to the period from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023. Forward-looking statements involve inherent risks and uncertainties, most of which are difficult to predict and many of which are beyond the control of Li-Cycle, and which may cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking information. Li-Cycle believes that these risks and uncertainties are related (but not limited) to the following: Li-Cycle's inability to economically and efficiently source, recover and recycle lithium-ion batteries and lithium-ion battery manufacturing scrap, as well as third party black mass, and to meet the market demand for an environmentally sound, closed-loop solution for manufacturing waste and end-of-life lithium-ion batteries; Li-Cycle's inability to successfully implement its global growth strategy, on a timely basis or at all; Li-Cycle's inability to manage future global growth effectively; Li-Cycle's inability to develop the Rochester Hub and other future projects including its Spoke & Hub network expansion projects in a timely manner or on budget or that those projects will not meet expectations with respect to their productivity or the specifications of their end products; Li-Cycle's failure to materially increase recycling capacity and efficiency; Li-Cycle may engage in strategic transactions, including acquisitions, that could disrupt its business, cause dilution to its shareholders, reduce its financial resources, result in incurrence of debt, or prove not to be successful; one or more of Li-Cycle's current or future facilities becoming inoperative, capacity constrained or if its operations are disrupted; additional funds required to meet Li-Cycle's capital requirements in the future not being available to Li-Cycle on acceptable terms or at all when it needs them; Li-Cycle expects to continue to incur significant expenses and may not achieve or sustain profitability; problems with the handling of lithium-ion battery cells that result in less usage of lithium-ion batteries or affect Li-Cycle's operations; Li-Cycle's inability to maintain and increase feedstock supply commitments as well as securing new customers and off-take agreements; a decline in the adoption rate of EVs, or a decline in the support by governments for "green" energy technologies; decreases in benchmark prices for the metals contained in Li-Cycle's products; changes in the volume or composition of feedstock materials processed at Li-Cycle's facilities; the development of an alternative chemical make-up of lithium-ion batteries or battery alternatives; Li-Cycle's revenues for the Rochester Hub are derived significantly from a single customer; Li-Cycle's insurance may not cover all liabilities and damages; Li-Cycle's heavy reliance on the experience and expertise of its management; Li-Cycle's reliance on third-party consultants for its regulatory compliance; Li-Cycle's inability to complete its recycling processes as quickly as customers may require; Li-Cycle's inability to compete successfully; increases in 4 income tax rates, changes in income tax laws or disagreements with tax authorities; significant variance in Li-Cycle's operating and financial results from period to period due to fluctuations in its operating costs and other factors; fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates which could result in declines in reported sales and net earnings; unfavorable economic conditions, such as consequences of the global COVID-19 pandemic; natural disasters, unusually adverse weather, epidemic or pandemic outbreaks, cyber incidents, boycotts and geo-political events; failure to protect or enforce Li-Cycle's intellectual property; Li-Cycle may be subject to intellectual property rights claims by third parties; Li-Cycle's failure to effectively remediate the material weaknesses in its internal control over financial reporting that it has identified or if it fails to develop and maintain a proper and effective internal control over financial reporting. These and other risks and uncertainties related to Li-Cycle's business and the assumptions on which the forward- looking information is based are described in greater detail in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" in its Annual Report on Form 20-F filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and the Ontario Securities Commission in Canada. Li-Cycle assumes no obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, except as required by applicable laws. These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing Li-Cycle's assessments as of any date subsequent to the date of this presentation. The financial results presented in this presentation are unaudited. Our actual results for the period ended June 30, 2023 may differ materially from the unaudited results disclosed herein and are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period.
