Star Metro - Loop Industries Forms Strategic Alternatives Committee to Maximize Shareholder Value

MONTRÉAL, QC / ACCESS Newswire / September 17, 2026 / Loop Industries, Inc. (NASDAQ:LOOP) ("Loop" or the "Company"), a clean technology company producing virgin-quality PET plastic and polyester fiber from waste materials, today announced that its Board of Directors has formed a Strategic Alternatives Committee to advance commercialization, strengthen the Company's capital position and maximize long-term shareholder value.

The Committee's formation follows Jeff Geygan's appointment as Chairman of the Board and the separation of the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer roles, creating a formal Board-led process to evaluate Loop's capital needs, strategic direction and opportunities to unlock the value of its technology and intellectual-property platform.

The Committee's immediate priority is to support management in securing Loop's required capital contribution and broader project-financing structure for the planned India joint venture through project-level debt, strategic capital, equity financing or a combination of those sources.

The Committee will evaluate strategic and financial alternatives, including strategic investments, project-level financing, licensing and commercial partnerships, regional joint ventures, business combinations, corporate-structure alternatives, a potential sale, merger or going-private transaction, and other initiatives to enhance shareholder value.

"The recent change in Board leadership is a catalyst for a disciplined review of Loop's strategic and financial alternatives," said Jeff Geygan, Chairman of the Board. "Our immediate priority is securing the capital required to advance the India joint venture through the most efficient and shareholder-aligned structure available. At the same time, the Board will evaluate every credible path to unlock the value of Loop's technology and intellectual-property platform and maximize shareholder value."

Daniel Solomita, Founder and Chief Executive Officer, will continue to lead Loop's operating and commercial activities, including the India joint venture, strategic customer and partner relationships, financing initiatives and commercialization of Loop's technology platform.

The Company has not made any decision regarding a specific alternative, and no timetable has been established for completing the review. There can be no assurance the process will result in a sale, merger, going-private transaction or any other transaction or outcome.

Loop does not intend to comment further regarding the review unless and until the Board approves a specific course of action or determines that additional disclosure is appropriate or required.
