• Institutional Investor Engagement: Chief Executive Officer Ofer Vicus will meet with institutional investors at the 15th Annual ROTH Deer Valley Event (December 9–12, Park City, Utah), providing updates on NGP Pilot Plant operations, FOAK Early Works engineering and procurement, progress in advancing HCT for upgrading logistically challenged crude oils, commercial engagement, and the Company’s financial position.
• European Commercial Engagement: Chief Revenue Officer Eric Appelman will join a panel at the Sustainable Packaging Summit (November 10–12, Utrecht) and present at AMI’s Flexible Packaging Innovation and Recycling conference (November 24–25, Vienna), engaging brand owners, packaging producers, recyclers, and downstream petrochemical users of circular feedstocks.
• Canadian Capital and Policy Engagement: Abe Dyck, Head of Corporate Development and Investor Relations, will attend the RCC Retail Sustainability Conference (October 27–28, Toronto) and the Canada Plastics Pact’s Investment and Partner Summits (November 25–26, Toronto), engaging industry participants, investors, and policymakers on extended producer responsibility (EPR), recycled-content requirements, circular plastics investment, and industry collaboration.

Representatives from Aduro will participate in presentations, panel discussions, and meetings with industry stakeholders and institutional investors. These events provide opportunities to discuss the Company’s progress in advancing Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT) for waste plastics recycling and upgrading logistically challenged crude oils, alongside broader commercialization activities. Discussions will also cover NGP Pilot Plant operations, FOAK project development, and opportunities for strategic and commercial collaboration.

Organized by the Retail Council of Canada (RCC), Retail Sustainability Conference 2026 brings together retailers, packaging producers, recyclers, technology providers, and policymakers to address sustainability challenges across Canada’s retail sector. The program covers recycled-content requirements, extended producer responsibility (EPR), and the development of markets for recycled materials, including a workshop developed with Environment and Climate Change Canada and the Association of Plastic Recyclers. Abe Dyck will attend on behalf of Aduro to engage with industry participants on evolving policies, the potential role of chemical recycling, and collaboration opportunities across the packaging value chain.

Organized by Packaging Europe, Sustainable Packaging Summit 2026 brings together global brands, packaging manufacturers, recyclers, technology developers, and policymakers to address the challenges of advancing packaging circularity. Eric Appelman will participate in a panel discussion exploring the role of advanced chemical recycling in converting difficult-to-recycle waste plastics into circular feedstocks. His participation will highlight Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT), complementary recycling approaches, and the technical and commercial requirements for integrating circular feedstocks into downstream petrochemical applications.

Organized by AMI, Flexible Packaging Innovation and Recycling 2026 focuses on developments in flexible packaging design, recycling technologies, regulatory requirements, and recycled-content markets. Eric Appelman will present “Circularity in plastic packaging: combining multiple technologies for an affordable solution” in the Advanced Recycling Routes for Flexible Films session. His presentation will compare design-for-recycling, mechanical recycling, and chemical recycling, examining how complementary technologies can improve circularity while maintaining cost competitiveness, including the potential role of Hydrochemolytic™ Technology (HCT).

Organized by the Canada Plastics Pact (CPP), the Investment Summit for Circular Plastics 2026 brings together investors, lenders, industry participants, and policymakers to examine investment opportunities in Canada’s circular plastics economy. The program includes new research on investment opportunities, risk-return profiles, and infrastructure requirements, alongside discussions on project financing, technology commercialization, and market development.
