Strategically investing in additional energy commodity assets

CCI, through one of its subsidiaries, has a controlling stake in Delta-Energy Group (“DEG”), a green chemical company that converts end-of-life tires into specialty chemicals and recovered carbon black. DEG has developed a proven and patented process to recover carbon black and marketable oil liquid from used tires and operates a commercial-scale plant in Natchez, Mississippi, with a daily processing capacity of 100 tons of end-of-life tires. CCI completed the transaction in June 2017. DEG is owned in partnership with Bridgestone Americas and DEG's founders.
