Financial Forecast (Verde's Standalone P&L) Basis for the Financial Forecast for the First Two Years: Financial Forecast ($M) ("Yr" pegged to the time of transaction closing)* Yr 1 H1 H2 Yr 2 Revenue 11.5 1.1 10.4 60.0 -80.0 • Analysis and Highlights TLGY Subject to raising expansion capital of at least $15M by the beginning of Yr 1 H2 (i.e., at the closing of the Proposed Transaction) Analysis of the sales pipeline and best estimates of projected volumes and project commencement dates in arriving at the revenue forecast. Need to raise at least $15 million in net proceeds to expand current capacity beyond a monthly sales cap of $5 - $7 million. Hence, the Yr 2 forecast is subject to adjustment based on this monthly cap if capacity expansion is delayed due to lack of capital. Forecast is supported by current pipeline of prospective customer sales of over $250 million (~$150M after TLGY adjustment), which we believe will continue to grow. Expected projects with these potential customers, which include Fortune 500 corporations, multinational plastic players and packaging companies, are at various stages of product development. Since March 2023, Verde has received initial purchase orders and written commitments from >10 large customers, including leading sports league and plastic chain market leader. We conducted various potential customer interviews to assess the progress of development projects and their intention to move forward with PolyEarthlyene™. We conducted commercial and technical due diligence that includes on-site product testing, validation of near-term commercialization potential, verification of product performance, pricing, and customer interest, and trial business development through our own industry network. Recently announced partnership with Vinmar America, a leading global distributor of plastics, will enable Vinmar to promote PolyEarthylene TM to Vinmar's customers; concrete customer traction with few dozen leads / initial orders already generated just in the first few months. Price analysis on commodity plastics and alternatives to verify that PolyEarthylene ™ is competitively priced at $1.80 per lb (expect to reach $1.50 per lb at scale) A cost analysis of key material costs were provided by the management, as a support for the margin forecast. These materials include GreenPE, regular PE, starches, calcium carbonate and other additives. Analysis of labor cost assumptions (~10% of total product cost). Gross Profit 5.1 0.5 4.6 28.8 - 38.4 Gross Margin (%) 44.4% 44.4% 44.4% 48.0% EBITDA -3.3 -2.6 -0.7 9.0 15.8 Expected solid profitability from Yr 2 due to strong margins and relatively low costs of operation. Profitability expected to increase as volume increases and expenses scale. EBITDA Margin (%) NM NM NM 15%-20% Note: The financial forecast is dependent on the closing date of the Proposed transaction ("T") due to capital requirement. Therefore, in above Year 1 represents the 12 month period from T minus six months (T-6) to T plus six months (T+6), where T is the closing date of the Proposed Transaction. Yr 2 from T plus six months (T+6) to T plus eighteen months (T+18) For example, if the Proposed Transaction were to close on December 31, 2023 then Year 1 would be between July 1, 2023 to June 30, 2024.
