Li-Cycle Holdings’s annual report filed with the SEC on Monday states that it has “incurred significant losses since inception” and that there is “substantial doubt” about its ability to continue operating.
The Department of Energy’s Loan Programs Office finalized the loan for Li-Cycle just two days after former president Joe Biden lost the November election.
It was part of a flurry of last-minute loan approvals totaling over $20 billion issued by the Biden loan office in the final weeks of the administration.
