EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Tyler Hales will lead the Site Selection Team and as such, will manage the various service offerings that fall within this jurisdiction. Business Incentives, Supply Chain Optimization, Financial Modeling, & Industrial Location Strategy are all intricate components of the broader Site Selection Team that must work in parallel as the process evolves. Tyler has handpicked C&W’s top resources across the country to specifically lead each service offering based upon past experience and success on behalf of other clients. Kyle Schneider will lead the Project Management Team due to his previous experience assisting large battery manufacturers design their facilities while ensuring efficient construction timelines, which is particularly important given today’s supply chain constraints. While we understand project management isn’t currently in scope due to Mitra Chem’s internal capabilities, we wanted you to be acutely aware of our breadth of knowledge, experience, and expertise should your strategy change in the future. Further we will leverage Kyle and his team’s expertise as we perform due diligence on potential sites as part of our Transaction Management process. THE RIGHT EXPERIENCE While we realize most large brokerage firms are able to create an extensive list of large-scale site selection clients, C&W is uniquely positioned given our experience within the battery / battery component manufacturing industry. To name just a few examples, C&W recently advised Honda & LG on a $4.4 billion production facility to be built in Ohio. In addition, C&W was recently hired by one of the country’s largest electric vehicle companies to open several manufacturing facilities throughout the country. Our proposed Site Selection Team has extensive experience advising these and countless other advanced manufacturing projects throughout the country. We will apply this experience to execute this project efficiently and methodically for Mitra Chem.

Mitra Chem –

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

On behalf of Cushman & Wakefield (“C&W”) and our entire project team, we are thrilled to present our real estate site selection proposal for Mitra Chem’s scale up battery cathode manufacturing project. We have directly addressed the RFP questions below – our unique strengths and experience, proposed scope of work, and pricing structure. We have included other relevant information in the appendix following this Executive Overview.

C&W UNIQUE STRENGTHS THE RIGHT TEAM

Understanding Mitra Chem requires a trusted partner who understands the complexities of business incentives negotiations combined with the ability to mitigate supply chain obstacles while also ensuring speed-to-market delivery remains top of mind, we have assembled a world class team prepared to work in tandem to achieve excellence. We recognize projects of this scale require careful coordination and seamless execution. As such, we realize the importance of defining responsibilities, aligning objectives, driving sustainability, and ultimately securing a favorable real estate solution. In attempt to clearly define roles at the onset, we’ve divided the project team into three distinct subcategories – Transaction Management, Site Selection, & Project Management with a brief description of the leads for each below. Refer to the Project Team section of the appendix for the full team and organization structure. Steve Billigmeier & Rob Bain will lead the Transaction Team and be the primary points of contact for Mitra Chem throughout the entire process. Understanding this requirement may ultimately land in the Southeast, we’ve taken the initiative to identify top-of-market brokers in several key Southeast markets that will further augment the project team’s site selection efforts.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

COST

Incentives Procurement – The incentives team designated for this project (Tyler Hales and Amy Gerber) has strong working relationships with city, regional, and state level economic development organizations across the U.S. In many cases there is a public/private regional agency tasked with the first layer of engagement with inbound projects. State level incentives are generally approved by the Governor’s office, sometimes requiring other approvals based on size and magnitude of the incentive. Our incentives team has a strong engagement with public/private partnerships and incentives granting agencies such as mayor’s and governor’s offices. C&W ensures that the applicable agencies develop an incentive package to benefit the company both from a short- and long-term business strategy. We will ensure competition at the state, regional, and city level to make sure we achieve the best possible financial, community partnership, and timeline outcomes. Transaction Management - C&W Transaction Management services are fully geared to enhancing Mitra Chem’s business and real estate strategy. Our disciplined approach is based upon our team’s experience assisting similar clients facing similar challenges. The Transaction Management team will quarterback the entire transactions process keeping all parties aligned on Mitra Chem’s business objectives and mitigate risk through the entire real estate life cycle regardless of the ultimate location. In anticipation of a project likely occurring somewhere throughout the Southeast U.S., we’ve handpicked best-in-class brokers ranging from Nashville to Raleigh to Columbia. As the process evolves, we can adjust based upon the short-listed markets, but wanted to provide an example of our depth of resources.

Furthermore, C&W has been Albemarle Corporation’s exclusive real estate provider for the last 2 years and recently executed a 5-year extension to assist with transaction management and site selection services across the world. Understanding Albemarle Corporation is one of Mitra Chem’s most important commercial partners, we can assure that, where appropriate, we will facilitate additional synergies that may be mutually beneficial from a location & cost perspective. SCOPE OF WORK – INTEGRATED SITE SELECTION Our scope of work includes location selection advisory, incentives procurement, and transaction management services (collectively referred to as our “Integrated Site Selection Process”). This integrated approach ensures seamless coordination of these three primary workstreams (with designated leads for each identified above) which is critical to speed to market and overall success of the project. The proposed Project Timeline in the appendix illustrates how the three major components of this project will be overlayed into a cohesive process. Location Selection Advisory – We have a best-in class team of location strategy, labor analytics, and supply chain considerations. Our process starts by identifying mission-critical criteria and screening viable markets. Potentially viable markets are run though a scorecarding process incorporating all factors of influence important to the success of this project for Mitra Chem. Once a short-list of markets is determined our location advisory team works closely with Transaction Managers to evaluate sites in each market as well as Incentives experts to initiate a competitive incentives procurement process. The Location Advisory process often incorporate hundreds of data points into market screening and scorecarding. A sample of those factors of influence, data platforms utilized, and interactive models are included in the appendix .

Description

Paid By Estimated Investment

Pricing Methodology

If C&W is hired to provide transaction management services, we are open to structuring a credit to offset advisory fees. Further details can be provided in the services contract. The fee for the incentive negotiation services would be structured as a combination of a flat fee and a success fee. For the first 20% of incentive value the fee will be a flat fee of $50,000. The fees associated with the remaining value of incentives will be structured as a success fee percentage that decreases for each incremental $10 million incentives procured. Click here for further detail . For a lease transaction , the Transaction Team would be compensated by the property owner payable upon successful completion of a lease transaction, at the market rate as applicable for each particular market. The compensation structure, once determined for each market under consideration, will be communicated to the Mitra Chem team. For a sale transaction , the Transaction Team would typically be compensated by a sale commission payable by the seller through escrow; or by Mitra Chem if and only if the characteristics of that particular market dictate the “Buyer Pay” model. The compensation model, once determined for each market under consideration, will be communicated to the Mitra Chem team.

SCOPE OF WORK

SCOPE OF WORK

MARKET/SITE EVALUATION & DECISION SUPPORT Our integrated site selection process incorporates interactive models that provide a data foundation for an eventual location and site decision. These decision support tools allow for comparison of candidate markets and sites as well as sensitivity analysis by changing weightings of all input criteria. Additionally, the output from this process is board-ready deliverables supporting the location decision.

to state and local agencies, we also evaluate the applicability of federal incentive opportunities either based upon the real estate location (e.g. New Markets Tax Credits) or working with specific federal agencies such as DOE where the grants could be appropriate and applicable. C&W also understands that an incentive only has value if it is captured and realized by the company. C&W will manage the incentive compliance for Mitra Chem to ensure the economic development and government agencies achieve their commitments to the project. The C&W incentives team has developed an in-house proprietary incentive compliance platform that will support the realization of the incentives by Mitra Chem, giving Mitra Chem an on-line portal for real-timing incentive tracking and incentive reporting. HOW WE CAN HELP • Evaluate and estimate the tax and operating cost impacts for each location being evaluated • Identify potential hurdles/opportunities available in each market • Develop a comprehensive negotiation strategy based on the project scope and the project’s financial impacts in each market • Expertly engage local and state officials and economic development agencies through our time-tested relationships • Identify utility partners to support initial infrastructure requirements and on-going operating costs • Effectively compare multiple incentive offers against a wide range of quantitative and qualitative factors and benchmark incentive awards against • Negotiate to ensure all possible benefits are secured

• Lead the incentive approval efforts to achieve full incentive approvals prior to executing any real estate transaction or public announcement • Coordinate public announcements with state and local Governor’s and Mayor’s offices • Monitor terms for compliance • Provide a seamless connection to a full range of in-house services including brokerage and construction management COST-MITIGATION AND INCENTIVE PROGRAMS MAY INCLUDE • Free or discounted land • Utility and transportation infrastructure support • Cash grants to support capital investment • Construction sales tax relief • Operating cost relief » Property, sales, income/excise tax » Utility usage cost reductions » Local gross receipts tax • Recruitment and training assistance • Expedited permitting, zoning and variance support • Building permit and impact fee relief • Federal incentives

BUSINESS INCENTIVES Capital intensive projects, such as the project Mitra Chem is undertaking, put a financial strain on the company’s Profit and Loss statement. Mitra Chem will spend a significant amount of money up front to establish and build out the new facility and recruit and hire new talent. All of this investment outflow will occur prior to the facility generating the new revenues, which creates financial and timing risk. C&W understands that risk, and our incentives team excels at identifying the best economic development and government partners to help mitigate that risk, both timing and financial. Our team maintains strong engagement with public/private partnerships and incentives granting agencies across the country at all levels, including city mayor’s and state governor’s offices.

Mitra Chem’s presence in a particular location has tremendous financial implications not only for your company but also for the local municipality, state and utilities. The C&W incentives team utilizes a Profit & Loss Statement approach to incentive negotiation. This approach allows us to understand the costs to establish and operate a facility in each market and also the revenue streams that would be generated by the state and local governments as a result of the new investment and job creation. Our incentive negotiation approach is customized for each market being evaluated based upon those costs and revenue streams. This allows us to ensure that the applicable agencies develop an incentive package that truly benefits the company both from a short- and long-term perspective. In addition

SCOPE OF WORK

BUSINESS INCENTIVES CONT’D Below is a high level summary of typical economic development tools for five prominent states in the Southeast as well as a recently incented company benchmark.

TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT AND REAL ESTATE FEASIBILITY Real estate feasibility evaluation of potential markets may include the following as appropriate: • General location attributes such as soft-support for production and manufacturing facilities • Access to transportation nodes, railways, ports, and interstates • Zoning and entitlements support in key industrial areas • Local permitting processes • Quantity of potential sites, existing facilities and under construction buildings that could potentially meet project objectives The real estate feasibility study is an iterative process that starts after identifying potential markets that meet labor and workforce requirements. The Real Estate Feasibility study will be conducted in parallel to the Incentives Feasibility study. As both studies complete, C&W will combine all relevant data into integrated deliverables for a holistic view of the top candidate market locations and all of the appropriate attributes. Each market location will be benchmarked against each other with scorecards. PROJECT MANAGEMENT While we understand this isn’t of initial concern, we wanted to expand on C&W’s Project & Development Services offerings in the event our assistance is required as the process evolves. Cushman & Wakefield’s project management team, Project & Development Services (PDS), understands that real estate decisions go beyond scope, schedule, and budget. We manage the planning, design, and construction process, to ensure value and savings, without sacrificing quality. Our project managers consistently deliver 10% to 15% construction cost savings to our clients and schedule improvements, while minimizing project risks.

C&W’s PDS team pursues the best solutions on behalf of our clients. It is not as simple as saying, “on time and on budget”. We listen closely to our clients, fully grasping their project goals and business needs while driving quality beyond their expectations. It takes determination to produce that level of work, and world-class expertise to do it well. C&W provides expert, end-to-end Project Management services that remove the risk for our clients. The key to our success is early involvement. Our Project Management team assists transaction teams with initial building selection activities while providing advice and input on work letters and related lease provision. Ultimately, we are engaged to bring work culture to life. C&W will manage the entire construction process from upfront strategic planning to move and relocation services. Lined-Up Service Providers – Cushman & Wakefield maintains a network of external architectural and engineering service providers and is able to make contractor recommendations based on site location and scope of the services required. These providers are accompanied by our in-house project and development services team. The Request for Proposal (RFP) & Competitive Bidding Process – Cushman & Wakefield has a highly developed process for the creation and distribution of RFPs, analyzing the responses, and ultimately providing disciplined recommendations on vendors and consultants for this project based upon cost, quality, experience, industry reputation, and more. Process – After identifying all team members, Cushman & Wakefield will create a list of potential bidders for each discipline that will receive an RFP. We routinely include all the vendors and consultants that have an existing relationship with our clients on the RFP distribution list.
