Li-Cycle Holdings Corp. (NYSE: LICY ) reported, yesterday, that it entered into an agreement with Glencore to issue a senior secured convertible note in an aggregate principal amount of $75 million, building on their existing long-term partnership.
Ajay Kochhar, Li-Cycle co-founder and CEO, commented: “We are pleased to secure an additional $75 million investment from Glencore, following Glencore’s June 2022 investment, to improve our liquidity position while we continue our ongoing comprehensive review process.

Brera Holding ( NASDAQ:BREA ) appointed Dicey Perrine to head its US Multi Club Ownership (MCO) operations, as several major drivers are accelerating the beautiful game’s US popularity.
According to a recent Gallup poll, an all-time high of 31% of Americans are soccer fans and Telemundo Deportes commissioned a report entitled The Future is Fútbol , which confirmed that soccer is the fastest-growing team sport in America.
However, as worldsoccertalk.com reported, “With the explosive growth and strengthening of the game domestically over the past 30 years, it is especially exciting to think about where we go from here. The 1994 FIFA World Cup in the USA still holds the all-time tournament attendance record (despite only having 24 teams and fewer games than subsequent tournaments) and was the most commercially successful edition ever. When 2026 brings the World Cup back to North America , with an expanded field of 48 teams, those records will surely be smashed.”
“We are thrilled to have Dicey join our team as the Head of US Operations,” said Brera Holdings CEO, Pierre Galoppi. “Her blend of leadership skills, sports expertise, and business savvy makes her the ideal candidate to lead our expansion in the US. With Dicey at the helm, we are confident in our ability to achieve great success and make a lasting impact in the world of sports and beyond.”
Perrine joins a management and advisory team that includes Daniel McClory , renowned investment banker and Brera’s Executive Chairman, who just acquired a majority stake in Brera Holdings ; and an advisory board that includes Massimo Ferragamo , Chairman of Ferragamo USA, Alan Rothenberg , Major League Soccer Founder and World Cup Director, Sports Business Leaders, Paul Tosetti and Marshall Geller, and Football Icon, Giuseppe Rossi, to Brera’s all-star Advisory Board .
