• Increases funding optionality: Over the rest of 2025, IperionX (IPX) will complete due diligence on pricing, tenor and bond terms in order to determine if tax-exempt PABs provide the optimal funding route prior to any debt issuance.

Tax-exempt private activity bonds are issued by state or local authorities to finance private projects that deliver public benefits such as job creation, supply-chain resilience and regional economic growth. Interest paid to investors is federally - and often state - income tax exempt, allowing issuers to access capital at materially lower funding costs than taxable debt.
