II. SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING
Investors should read this memorandum carefully before making any investment decisions regarding the Company and
should pay particular attention to the information contained under the heading “Risk Factors.” Additionally, Investors
should consult their own advisors in order to fully comprehend the consequences of investing in the Company. The
following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by more detailed information appearing
elsewhere in this Memorandum and the Exhibits hereto.
In this memorandum, “International Metals Trading, LLC,” “International Metals Trading,” “Company,” “company,”
“we,” “our,” and “us” refer to International Metals Trading, LLC. “You”, “Prospective Investor”, “Prospective
Purchaser”, and “Purchaser” refers to the reader of this memorandum. This summary highlights the information
contained elsewhere in this memorandum. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that
may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of this offering, Company encourages you to read this
entire memorandum and the documents to which Company refers you. You should read the following memorandum
together with the more detailed information and financial statements and the notes to those statements appearing
elsewhere in this memorandum.
GENERAL:
International Metals Trading, LLC (the “Company”) purchases precious and base metals on a wholesale basis from direct
outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. The Company’s customers include the largest OEM
manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction companies in the country. The Company’s industry
experts manage the various commodity risks by hedging margins through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. Using
proper forward selling techniques and construction contracts helps ensure that the Company’s balance sheet of the transactions
will not fall below the initial investment. In most cases, the Company’s principal in these transactions will be collateralized by
120% of the value of said principal, in its notional amount, in precious and base metals. There are other safeguards in place to
further protect investor capital such as content and transport insurance, bonding and liens. The Company’s primary concern and
objective is to protect Company capital through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. All metals materials that are
bought and sold are hedged through proper forward selling agreements using the futures market (Chicago Mercantile
Exchange) thus greatly reducing commodity risk.
Type of Security: Series A Convertible Preferred Unit, $4.00 per Unit (the “Preferred Units”),
initially convertible on a one-to-one (the “Conversions Ratio”) basis into Units
of the Company’s Common Units (the “Common Units”).
Capitalization:
Purpose:
Company has authorized 12,000,000 Common Units and 3,500,000 Preferred
Units. Prior to this offering, current owners hold 6,000,000 Common Units
and have reserved another 500,000 Common Units for key parties. If all
3,500,000 Preferred Units are sold and converted the Company would have
10,875,000 Common Units outstanding.
Acquisition and trading of precious and base metals on, a wholesale basis,
from direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling
sources. Our customers include the largest OEM manufacturers, refiners,
primary mines and some the largest construction firms in the country.
TERMS OF PREFERRED UNITS:
Liquidation Preference: Upon the occurrence of any (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the
Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation (other than one in which
Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 17

  Membership	
  Units	
  
Unitholders of the Company own a majority by voting power of the
outstanding Units of the surviving or acquiring corporation), or (iii) a sale,
lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of
the Company (the events described in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) are
each referred to herein as a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), the holders of the
Preferred Units would receive an amount per Preferred Unit, in preference to
the holders of the Common Unit, equal to the Original Purchase Price, plus
accrued but unpaid dividends on each Unit of the Preferred Units.
Thereafter, the Preferred Units would participate with the Common Unit on
an as-converted to Common Unit basis.
Dividends: Dividends on the Preferred Units would be cumulative and accrue, in
preference to any dividend on Units of the Common Unit, at a rate
determined by the Board of Managers on an annual basis (but not less than
3% per annum) of the Original Purchase Price, compounded quarterly.
Dividends on the Preferred Units would be payable upon a Deemed
Liquidation Event or upon conversion or redemption. For any other
dividends or distributions, participation with Common Unit on an as-
converted basis.
Warrant Coverage: The Company shall provide Unitholders with 25% Warrant Coverage
at a strike price of 150% of the current offering price per Unit (current
Unit price $4.00 gives a Warrant strike price of $6.00). Warrants
shall be good for the earlier of (i) 5 years or (ii) exercisable within 6
months of the next round of equity financing that is priced at or
above the strike (at or in the money) or (iii) exercisable prior to any
announced merger or acquisition that is priced at or above the strike
(at or in the money) so long as Unithold has at least 3 month prior
notice of such an event.
Warrants are the option to purchase Common Units at the Strike of
$6.00. Warrant Coverage shall be calculated by taking the total amount
of a Unitholder’s Preferred Units and dividing them by 4; any
fractional numbers in the solution shall be ignored. For example, a
Unitholder of 57,787 Preferred Units would be calculated as follows:
57,787 ÷ 4 = 14,446.75. Thus the Unitholder would be issued 14,446
Warrants.
Optional Conversion: The Preferred Units would initially convert on a one for one basis into Units
of the Common Unit at any time at the option of the holder, subject to
adjustments for Unit dividends, splits, combinations and similar events and
as described below under the caption “Anti-dilution Provisions.”
Mandatory Conversion: Each Unit of the Preferred Units would automatically be converted into Units
of the Common Unit at the then applicable conversion rate (i) upon a public
offering of Common Units or reverse merger into a public reporting entity or
(ii) upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred
Units.
Anti-dilution Provisions: Unless otherwise waived by the holders of at least two-thirds of the Preferred
Units, in the event that the Company issues additional securities at a
purchase price less than the current Preferred Units conversion price, such
conversion price would be adjusted on a full ratchet basis, provided that no
such adjustment would occur with respect to (i) securities issuable upon
conversion of any of the Preferred Units, or as a dividend or distribution on

the Preferred Units; (ii) securities issued upon the conversion of any
debenture, warrant, option, or other convertible security outstanding as of the
date of the Initial Closing; (iii) Units of the Common Unit issuable upon a
Unit split, Unit dividend, or any subdivision of Units of Common Unit;
(iv) Units of the Common Unit (or options to purchase such Units of
Common Unit) issued or issuable to employees or directors of, or consultants
to, the Company pursuant to any plan approved by the Board, including both
of the Series A Directors (as defined); (v) Units of the Common Unit issued
or issuable to banks, equipment lessors pursuant to a debt financing,
equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the
Board, including the Series A Directors; and (vi) Units of the Common Unit
issued or issuable for consideration other than cash pursuant to a technology
license, business combination, strategic partnership or joint venture
transaction approved by the Board, including both the Series A Directors (as
defined herein).
Redemption Rights: The Preferred Units would be redeemable from funds legally available for
distribution at the option of holders of at least 50% of the Preferred Units
commencing any time after the fourth anniversary of the Initial Closing at a
price equal to the Original Purchase Price plus all accrued but unpaid
dividends. Redemption would occur in three equal quarterly installments
beginning 90 days after a valid election of redemption has occurred. Upon a
redemption request from the holders of the required percentage of the
Preferred Units, all of the Preferred Units would be redeemed (except for any
holders of Units of the Preferred Units who affirmatively opt-out of such
redemption).
Registration Rights:
Registrable Securities: All Units of the Common Unit issuable upon conversion of the Preferred
Units and any other Units of the Common Unit held by the Investors would
be “Registrable Securities.”
Demand Registration: Upon earlier of (i) three years after the Initial Closing; or (ii) six months
following an initial public offering or reverse merger (“IPO”), persons
holding not less than an aggregate of 50% of Registrable Securities may
demand not more than two registrations by the Company of their Units, but
only if the aggregate offering price is at least $5 million. A registration
would count for this purpose only if (A) not less than 75% of all Registrable
Securities requested to be registered are included in the registration, or (B) it
is closed, or withdrawn at the request of the demanding Investors (other than
as a result of a material adverse change to the Company). Holders of
Registrable Securities would have priority in all registrations over all other
Units except for in registrations initiated by the Company in which case the
Units being sold by the Company for its own account shall have priority.
Registration on Form S-3: The holders of not less than 20% of the Registrable Securities would have
the right to require the Company to register on Form S-3, if available for use
by the Company, Registrable Securities for an aggregate offering price of at
least $1 million. There would be no limit on the aggregate number of such
Form S-3 registrations, provided that there are no more than two per year.
Piggyback Registration: The holders of Registrable Securities would be entitled to “piggyback”
registration rights on all registration statements of the Company, subject to
the right, however, of the Company and its underwriters to reduce the
number of Units proposed to be registered to a minimum of 30% on a pro

rata basis and to complete reduction on an IPO at the underwriter’s
discretion. In all events, the Units to be registered by holders of Registrable
Securities would be reduced only after all other Unitholders’ Units are
reduced.
Expenses: The registration expenses (exclusive of Unit transfer taxes, underwriting
discounts and commissions) would be borne by the Company. The Company
would also pay the reasonable fees and expenses, not to exceed $75,000, of
one special counsel to represent all the participating holders of Registrable
Securities.
Lock-up: The Investors would agree in connection with a potential IPO, if requested
by said IPO’s managing underwriter, not to sell or transfer any Units of
Common Unit of the Company for a period of up to 180 days following the
IPO, provided all directors and officers of the Company agree to the same
restriction.

Liquidation Event, or (iii) when all Registrable Securities of an Investor are

period.
The Company may grant no future registration rights without consent of the
holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities unless subordinate to the
registration rights of such holders in all respects.

converted basis, and not as a separate class.

B. The Company
International Metals Trading, LLC (“International Metals Trading”, or the “Company”), began operations in
October 2013, with the purpose of trading precious and base metals. The Company’s legal structure was formed
as a limited liability company (LLC) under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 2013. Its principal
offices are presently located at 81 Prospect St, 8th
Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201. The Company’s telephone
number is (866) 923-0182. The Managing Directors of the Company are Ian Parker, Joseph Kalinowski, and
Ned Moulton (“Management”).
C. The Benefits of LLC Membership
The limited liability company (LLC) is a relatively new form of doing business in the United States (in 1988 all
50 states enacted LLC laws). The best way to describe an LLC is to explain what it is not. An LLC is not a
corporation, a partnership nor is it a sole proprietorship. The LLC is a hybrid legal structure that combines the
characteristics of a corporate structure and a partnership structure. It is a separate legal entity like a corporation
but it has entitlement to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes and therefore carries with it certain tax
benefits for the investors.
The owners and investors are called members and can be virtually any entity including individuals (domestic or
foreign), corporations, other LLCs, trusts, pension plans etc. Unlike corporate stocks and shares, members
purchase Convertible Preferred Units. Members who hold the majority of the Units maintain controlling
management of the LLC as specified in the LLC operating agreement.
The primary advantage of an LLC is limiting the liability of its members. Unless personally guaranteed,
members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the LLC. Additionally, “pass-through” or
“flow-through” taxation is available, meaning that (generally speaking) the earnings of an LLC are not subject to
double taxation unlike that of a “standard” corporation. However, they are treated like the earnings from
partnerships, sole proprietorships and S corporations with an added benefit for all of its members. There is
greater flexibility in structuring the LLC than is ordinarily the case with a corporation, including the ability to
divide ownership and voting rights in unconventional ways while still enjoying the benefits of “pass-through”
taxation.
D. Operations
International Metals Trading, LLC (the “Company”) purchases precious and base metals on a wholesale basis from
direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. The Company’s customers include the
largest OEM manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction companies in the country. The
Company’s industry experts manage the various commodity risks by hedging margins through disciplined capital
preservation mechanisms. Using proper forward selling techniques and construction contracts helps ensure that the
Company’s balance sheet of the transactions will not fall below the initial investment. In most cases, the Company’s
principal in these transactions will be collateralized by 120% of the value of said principal, in its notional amount, in
precious and base metals. There are other safeguards in place to further protect investor capital such as content and
transport insurance, bonding and liens. The Company’s primary concern and objective is to protect Company capital
through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. All metals materials that are bought and sold are hedged
through proper forward selling agreements using the futures market (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) thus greatly
reducing commodity risk.
The Company believes that continued successful execution of its business strategy should provide the
opportunity for leverage within the entity, allowing for enhanced returns while also mitigating downside risk
through high quality hedging and risk management.
E. The Offering
The Company is offering a minimum of 500,000 and a maximum of 3,500,000 Units at a price of $4.00 per Unit,
$.001 par value per unit. Upon completion of the Offering between 7,000,000 and 10,000,000 Common Units
will be outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Each Purchaser of Preferred Units must execute a Subscription
Agreement making certain representations and warranties to the Company, including such Purchaser’s
qualifications as an Accredited Investor as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Rule 501(a) of
Regulation D promulgated. See “REQUIREMENTS FOR PURCHASERS” section.

F. Risk Factors
See “RISK FACTORS” section in this Memorandum for certain factors that could adversely affect an investment
in the Units. Those factors include, but are not limited to unanticipated obstacles to execution of the Business
Plan, general economic factors, and other unanticipated metal commodity risk.
G. Use of Proceeds
If the entire offering amount of 3,500,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units is sold, Company estimates that
the net proceeds will be approximately $12,740,000 after deducting the estimated offering expenses.
Company will use the net proceeds from this for commodity trading & hedging activities, which will result in
cash flow for the company. Management will have broad discretion in applying the Company’s net proceeds of
this offering within commodity activities that meet the criteria explained within the business summary or other
such similar opportunities that are backed by assets and have attractive economics.
See “USE OF PROCEEDS” section.
H. Minimum Offering Proceeds - Escrow of Subscription Proceeds
The Company has set a minimum offering proceeds figure of $2,000,000 (the “minimum offering proceeds”) for
this Offering. The Company has established an Investment Holding Account with Cortland Capital Market
Services LLC, 225 W. Washington St. 21st Floor, Chicago, IL 60606, into which the minimum offering proceeds
will be placed. At least 500,000 Units must be sold for $2,000,000 before such proceeds will be released from
the escrow account and utilized by the Company. After the minimum number of Units is sold, all subsequent
proceeds from the sale of Units will be delivered directly to the Company. See “PLAN OF PLACEMENT -
ESCROW ACCOUNT ARRANGEMENT” section.
I. Convertible Preferred Units
Upon the sale of the maximum number of Units from this Offering, the number of issued and outstanding units
of the Company’s stock will be held as follows:
Present Members 60%
New Members 40%
J. Registrar
The Company will serve as its own registrar and transfer agent with respect to its Convertible Preferred Units.
K. Subscription Period
The Offering will terminate on the earliest of: (a) the date the Company, in its discretion, elects to terminate, or
(b) the date upon which all Units have been sold, or (c) December 31, 2015, or such date as may be extended
from time to time by the Company, but not later than 180 days thereafter (the “Offering Period”.)

I. Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium (PGM)
Having an appropriate amount of portfolio exposure to precious metals in one’s portfolio is a good idea. In discussing exposure to
precious metals, gold and silver are traditionally the preferred – and most often traded – precious metals. While exposure to these
metals can be appropriate at times, as of the time of this writing, the Company believes that platinum group metals (PGM’s) offer a
significant profit center that the Company has already penetrated. It is important to understand the reasoning behind the investment in
precious metals along with its potential risks.
Precious metals have historically been considered a safe haven against economic and geopolitical risks. Precious metals have long
been considered a storage of value, thus an off-set against inflation. At times it can have a low correlation with equities so having
some in investment portfolios has diversification benefits. Despite these potential benefits, the Company has come to understand that
precious metals, like many commodities can be highly volatile. This has led the Company to develop hedging practices that allow the
Company to take advantage of its wide reaching industry relationships without the exposure to increased variation in returns (a locked
in spread).

PGM as an investment
There are six precious metals that make up the platinum group metals. These metals are platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh),
ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os) and iridium (Ir). The Company’s focus is on three of these metals; platinum, palladium and rhodium.
These are truly rare and precious metals, but they also have another industrial side to them. These metals are used in automobile
catalytic converters to act as a catalyst in extracting and removing harmful emissions produced from a combustible fuel engine.
Harmful emissions that are produced by a standard combustible engine include hydrocarbons that arise due to unburned gasoline,
carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. Through the specific combination of these three precious metals, the catalytic converter captures
large quantities so they are not released in to the atmosphere.
PGM – Demand
On the demand side, prices for these precious metals are largely tied to auto sales given their high concentration of usage in catalytic
converters. The global outlook for vehicle sales has been fairly robust of late. Global auto sales in 2014 have been just under 72
million vehicles sold of which sales in Asia have been leading the way. North America represents approximately 27% of the
worldwide auto market with the U.S. leading the charge making up 85% of that figure. Western Europe is 17% of the global auto
market and Germany is the largest country in that category representing 25% of that region. South America consumes 6% of the
global auto supply with Brazil contributing 42% of that number. Eastern Europe makes up 5% of the global auto market and Russia
represents the largest portion of that demand consuming 62% of that figure.
Analysts are expecting the global auto market to grow at a 2% average annual rate over the next several years as additional monetary
stimulus in Europe and Asia are implemented to assist their economies gain traction. The U.S. economy has been getting stronger,
albeit at a sluggish pace and should remain a driver of vehicle sales.
Carefully monitoring and analyzing vehicle sales is of key importance when investing in PGM. As mentioned earlier, platinum,
palladium and rhodium are heavily used in the catalytic converter manufacturing process. To illustrate this point, consider the details.
Please note that the figures that are provided are broken down into two segments, primary supply (mining sources) and secondary
supply (recycling). Total gross demand for platinum is 8.4 million ounces annually of which the auto catalyst market represents 3.1
million. Thus a full 37% of annual demand is driven by the production of catalytic converters. Jewelry makes up the next largest user
of platinum consuming 2.7 million ounces annually or 33% of gross demand.
The other areas of platinum usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows:
The industry has seen a rise in physical backed Exchange Traded Funds over the past several years. ETF’s have collected over 1.5
million ounces of platinum and 2 million ounces of palladium within a relatively short time frame. As further confirmation of the rise
in PGM as an investment vehicle is the formation of the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC). This is a consortium of the six
largest platinum producers worldwide with the explicit focus on assisting, “high net worth and retail investors gain a better
understanding of the platinum investment opportunity through the provision of independent data, information and insight.” As investor
awareness continues to increase within this area, one would expect the investment portion of gross demand to increase.
Gross demand for palladium is equally tied to auto sales and the manufacture of catalytic converters. There is approximately 9.6
million ounces of gross demand for palladium annually of which the auto catalyst market absorbs 72% of those ounces.
The other areas of palladium usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows:

Rhodium is a very rare metal and total gross global demand for the metal is just over 1 million ounces annually. Consumption within
the auto catalyst manufacturing segment makes up 79% of global gross demand annually.
The other areas of rhodium usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows:
PGM Supply
When analyzing the supply side of PGM, it offers an additionally compelling story for the trading of these precious metals. The
primary supply for these metals are concentrated to specific regions in the world, many of them with an unstable political or economic
profile.
Worldwide there was 5.7 million ounces of platinum that were supplied from the primary market. South African mining operations
were responsible for a significant portion of that supply providing approximately 4.1 million ounces of platinum or 72% of the
primary global supply. The second greatest provider of platinum was Russia that contributed 780,000 ounces to aggregate primary
global supply or 14%. Zimbabwe has been rapidly growing as a global supplier of the precious metal and accounted for 7% of global
production or 400,000 ounces and North America provided 5%. The remaining 2% is provided in a fragmented way across the globe.
For palladium, global supply from primary sources were 6.4 million ounces. Of these ounces produced 37% or 2.6 million ounces
came from South Africa and 42% or 2.7 million ounces came from mining and stock sales in Russia. These two countries are by far
the leaders of the palladium producing countries. North America was responsible for 930,000 ounces of palladium to market and
Zimbabwe produced 310,000 ounces or 14% and 5%, respectively. The remaining 2% is provided in a fragmented way across the
globe.
Rhodium is the rarest of the three metals and global supply from the primary market in 2013 was 721,000 ounces. South Africa was
responsible for 574,000 ounces or 80% of global supply, Russia produced 85,000 ounces (12%), Zimbabwe produced 33,000 ounces
(5%) and North America produced 24,000 ounces (3%).

It is of the utmost importance to understand where these materials are coming from and the political and economic landscape
surrounding the producing nations. The mining companies in South Africa produce the most platinum globally and hold the largest
reserves. The major mining companies include; Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum (Implats), lonmin, Aquarius,
Atlatsa, Northam, African Rainbow Minerals and Royal Bafokeng.
These mines have just been through one of the longest and expensive labor strikes in industry history that crippled production in the
first half of 2014. They face a complex labor structure in that unions have deemed an across the board labor rate regardless of mine
efficiency. With the price of platinum hitting five year lows, many of the more inefficient mines are operating at a loss and many of
these larger mines are looking to dispose of underperforming assets. With the prices so low, capital investment will be affected thus
primary supply may deteriorate.
According to industry analysis, platinum mine production peaked in 2006 and palladium mine production peaked in 2004. Aging
mines are producing less material. It is estimated that production at these mines have deteriorated at an annual rate of 6% from their
peak while operational costs have increased at a rate of 20% per annum. This is a trend that underscores one of the most important
takeaways from the supply/demand dynamic of the PGM space. Analysts expect South African precious metals producers to take
away up to 2 million ounces of PGM over the next several years. As reserves are depleted, supply comes off line and demand
continues to advance, it makes sense that the price of PGM will rise. Some targets within the industry call for platinum at $2000 per
ounce and palladium for $1000 per ounce.
Zimbabwe holds a large portion of the world’s PGM reserves but the political environment in that region makes it extremely difficult
to operate profitably. With the industry largely controlled by the government there, it is unlikely there will be excessive capital
investment in the region.
Russia is also a major producer of PGM, with its focus on palladium as a by-product of their nickel production. As production in
South African mines continues to slow, greater emphasis and importance has been placed on Russian production. Given the impact
that the labor strikes in South Africa has had on PGM production, it is estimated that Russian stockpiles have been dramatically
reduced in an attempt to make up for slack supply. We use the term estimated simply because it is unclear what Russia holds in
reserves as that information is tightly guarded by Russian officials.
Ore grades in Russia is also deteriorating and Russian PGM is a by-product of this mining activity, therefore primary production from
Russia, like South Africa is in decline. Russia has also been the source of geopolitical tension in the world with its annexation of
Crimea from Ukraine. As tensions rose from those events, palladium witnessed aggressive moves higher in price, breaking $900 per
ounce the day Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was accidently shot down over Ukraine.
Global supply for the PGM sector is under pressure. Deteriorating and aging mines as well as economic and geopolitical tensions have
put in place a supply scenario that favors higher prices. As a way to combat and answer this supply and demand synopsis, a secondary
market for bringing these metals to market has been gaining traction.
Profiting From Recycled PGM
According to reports from Johnson Matthey, automotive catalytic recycling has acted as a net aggregate deduction from total gross
global demand for PGM. According to the figures, platinum recycling accounted for nearly 1.3 million ounces to market to make up
for the diminishing supply from primary producers in 2013. This represents a contribution of 15% to total gross global demand, up
from 12% just five years ago. Auto recyclers contributed almost 2 million ounces of palladium to global supply in 2013 or 19%, up
from 12% just five years ago. The numbers are similar for rhodium. In 2013, recyclers contributed 281,000 ounces of rhodium
towards total global gross supply or 28%, up from 26% five years ago.
International Metals Trading is positioned with the market leaders in this secondary space and upon the time of this writing will be
managing approximately 60% of the U.S. market place from a trading and hedging perspective.
As this market continues to grow, International Metals Trading will grow with it. Currently we conservatively estimate this business
line to provide $2-4 million to the bottom line in 2016, and $4-6 million in 2017.

II. Reinforcing Structural Steel Fabrication (Rebar)
Company has formed a subsidiary called IMT Steel, LLC (the “IMT Steel”), a wholly owned subsidiary of International Metals
Trading, LLC, to purchase steel rebar for resale to the New York metropolitan area concrete superstructure construction market.
Notwithstanding a steady decrease in the market price of steel rebar, there is still a compelling margin to be made in the purchase and
sale of rebar product. Based on our market intelligence as well as our deep relationships on both the buy-side and the sell-side, we
believe we can generate a gross margin of $360 per ton or 41% gross margins.
At IMT Steel, LLC, we expect to generate more than $84 million in revenue on a 12 month run rate within 24-30 months. This
represents the sale of 7,500 tons of steel rebar (15,000,000 lbs) each month – or 90,000 tons each year (180,000,000 lbs). When fully
ramped, IMT Steel, LLC should be servicing about 12 construction companies in any given month through a facility that IMT Steel,
LLC will lease and operate at a privately owned, non-union, bonded port in New Jersey. Since IMT Steel’s soft launch on Tuesday,
August 6th, 2015, it has secured contracts representing 60,000 tons of rebar contracts with an additional 50,000 tons likely secured in
the coming months.
Industry Overview
The Concrete Reinforcing Bar Manufacturing industry produces concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) and bar joists. Industry products are
made of steel and are installed in concrete during pouring to increase its strength and prevent cracking; therefore, they are found in
nearly all concrete structures. The industry in most parts of the U.S. has yet to recover fully from the impacts of the 2008-09 recession,
with revenue falling an estimated 0.3% per year on average in the five years to 2014. The recession caused construction levels to
plummet, significantly reducing demand for rebar. Nevertheless, we expect industry revenue to grow by 5.5% during 2014,
commensurate with accelerating commercial construction, bringing total revenue to $14.7 billion by the end of the year. That said, the
New York metropolitan area is now in almost full recovery as 2015, which is our primary geographic focus.
Industry products are produced by heating steel and shaping it into bars. Rebar is then formed by adding grooves and twists on the bar
to ensure steady placement in concrete, while joists are formed by bending the bar into an open-web zigzag pattern. Because rebar and
joists are used to strengthen concrete, industry performance depends primarily on demand from key construction markets, including
the commercial and industrial building markets.
Oversupply of steel, coupled with weak demand, has also suppressed the price of steel-based products. However, spurred by
recovering demand and better supply control, profit finally turned the corner in 2013.
Going forward, we expect this industry to recover fully from the impacts of the recession, with revenue growing at an estimated 4.9%
per year on average through to 2019, to $18.7 billion. Strengthening demand will push selling prices upward albeit slowly, with price
increases kept in check by heightened competition from other operators and importers. Price will remain the primary basis of
competition so long as industry products are largely homogenous and available in ample supply.

SUMMARY OF THE OFFERING Investors should read this memorandum carefully before making any investment decisions regarding the Company and should pay particular attention to the information contained under the heading “Risk Factors.” Additionally, Investors should consult their own advisors in order to fully comprehend the consequences of investing in the Company. The following summary does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by more detailed information appearing elsewhere in this Memorandum and the Exhibits hereto. In this memorandum, “International Metals Trading, LLC,” “International Metals Trading,” “Company,” “company,” “we,” “our,” and “us” refer to International Metals Trading, LLC. “You”, “Prospective Investor”, “Prospective Purchaser”, and “Purchaser” refers to the reader of this memorandum. This summary highlights the information contained elsewhere in this memorandum. Because this is only a summary, it does not contain all of the information that may be important to you. For a more complete understanding of this offering, Company encourages you to read this entire memorandum and the documents to which Company refers you. You should read the following memorandum together with the more detailed information and financial statements and the notes to those statements appearing elsewhere in this memorandum. GENERAL: International Metals Trading, LLC (the “Company”) purchases precious and base metals on a wholesale basis from direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. The Company’s customers include the largest OEM manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction companies in the country. The Company’s industry experts manage the various commodity risks by hedging margins through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. Using proper forward selling techniques and construction contracts helps ensure that the Company’s balance sheet of the transactions will not fall below the initial investment. In most cases, the Company’s principal in these transactions will be collateralized by 120% of the value of said principal, in its notional amount, in precious and base metals. There are other safeguards in place to further protect investor capital such as content and transport insurance, bonding and liens. The Company’s primary concern and objective is to protect Company capital through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. All metals materials that are bought and sold are hedged through proper forward selling agreements using the futures market (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) thus greatly reducing commodity risk. Type of Security: Series A Convertible Preferred Unit, $4.00 per Unit (the “Preferred Units”), initially convertible on a one-to-one (the “Conversions Ratio”) basis into Units of the Company’s Common Units (the “Common Units”). Capitalization: Purpose: Company has authorized 12,000,000 Common Units and 3,500,000 Preferred Units. Prior to this offering, current owners hold 6,000,000 Common Units and have reserved another 500,000 Common Units for key parties. If all 3,500,000 Preferred Units are sold and converted the Company would have 10,875,000 Common Units outstanding. Acquisition and trading of precious and base metals on, a wholesale basis, from direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. Our customers include the largest OEM manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction firms in the country. TERMS OF PREFERRED UNITS: Liquidation Preference: Upon the occurrence of any (i) liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company, (ii) a merger or consolidation (other than one in which
  • 17. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 17 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   Unitholders of the Company own a majority by voting power of the outstanding Units of the surviving or acquiring corporation), or (iii) a sale, lease, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (the events described in the foregoing clauses (ii) and (iii) are each referred to herein as a “Deemed Liquidation Event”), the holders of the Preferred Units would receive an amount per Preferred Unit, in preference to the holders of the Common Unit, equal to the Original Purchase Price, plus accrued but unpaid dividends on each Unit of the Preferred Units. Thereafter, the Preferred Units would participate with the Common Unit on an as-converted to Common Unit basis. Dividends: Dividends on the Preferred Units would be cumulative and accrue, in preference to any dividend on Units of the Common Unit, at a rate determined by the Board of Managers on an annual basis (but not less than 3% per annum) of the Original Purchase Price, compounded quarterly. Dividends on the Preferred Units would be payable upon a Deemed Liquidation Event or upon conversion or redemption. For any other dividends or distributions, participation with Common Unit on an as- converted basis. Warrant Coverage: The Company shall provide Unitholders with 25% Warrant Coverage at a strike price of 150% of the current offering price per Unit (current Unit price $4.00 gives a Warrant strike price of $6.00). Warrants shall be good for the earlier of (i) 5 years or (ii) exercisable within 6 months of the next round of equity financing that is priced at or above the strike (at or in the money) or (iii) exercisable prior to any announced merger or acquisition that is priced at or above the strike (at or in the money) so long as Unithold has at least 3 month prior notice of such an event. Warrants are the option to purchase Common Units at the Strike of $6.00. Warrant Coverage shall be calculated by taking the total amount of a Unitholder’s Preferred Units and dividing them by 4; any fractional numbers in the solution shall be ignored. For example, a Unitholder of 57,787 Preferred Units would be calculated as follows: 57,787 ÷ 4 = 14,446.75. Thus the Unitholder would be issued 14,446 Warrants. Optional Conversion: The Preferred Units would initially convert on a one for one basis into Units of the Common Unit at any time at the option of the holder, subject to adjustments for Unit dividends, splits, combinations and similar events and as described below under the caption “Anti-dilution Provisions.” Mandatory Conversion: Each Unit of the Preferred Units would automatically be converted into Units of the Common Unit at the then applicable conversion rate (i) upon a public offering of Common Units or reverse merger into a public reporting entity or (ii) upon the written consent of the holders of a majority of the Preferred Units. Anti-dilution Provisions: Unless otherwise waived by the holders of at least two-thirds of the Preferred Units, in the event that the Company issues additional securities at a purchase price less than the current Preferred Units conversion price, such conversion price would be adjusted on a full ratchet basis, provided that no such adjustment would occur with respect to (i) securities issuable upon conversion of any of the Preferred Units, or as a dividend or distribution on

Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 18 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   the Preferred Units; (ii) securities issued upon the conversion of any debenture, warrant, option, or other convertible security outstanding as of the date of the Initial Closing; (iii) Units of the Common Unit issuable upon a Unit split, Unit dividend, or any subdivision of Units of Common Unit; (iv) Units of the Common Unit (or options to purchase such Units of Common Unit) issued or issuable to employees or directors of, or consultants to, the Company pursuant to any plan approved by the Board, including both of the Series A Directors (as defined); (v) Units of the Common Unit issued or issuable to banks, equipment lessors pursuant to a debt financing, equipment leasing or real property leasing transaction approved by the Board, including the Series A Directors; and (vi) Units of the Common Unit issued or issuable for consideration other than cash pursuant to a technology license, business combination, strategic partnership or joint venture transaction approved by the Board, including both the Series A Directors (as defined herein). Redemption Rights: The Preferred Units would be redeemable from funds legally available for distribution at the option of holders of at least 50% of the Preferred Units commencing any time after the fourth anniversary of the Initial Closing at a price equal to the Original Purchase Price plus all accrued but unpaid dividends. Redemption would occur in three equal quarterly installments beginning 90 days after a valid election of redemption has occurred. Upon a redemption request from the holders of the required percentage of the Preferred Units, all of the Preferred Units would be redeemed (except for any holders of Units of the Preferred Units who affirmatively opt-out of such redemption). Registration Rights: Registrable Securities: All Units of the Common Unit issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Units and any other Units of the Common Unit held by the Investors would be “Registrable Securities.” Demand Registration: Upon earlier of (i) three years after the Initial Closing; or (ii) six months following an initial public offering or reverse merger (“IPO”), persons holding not less than an aggregate of 50% of Registrable Securities may demand not more than two registrations by the Company of their Units, but only if the aggregate offering price is at least $5 million. A registration would count for this purpose only if (A) not less than 75% of all Registrable Securities requested to be registered are included in the registration, or (B) it is closed, or withdrawn at the request of the demanding Investors (other than as a result of a material adverse change to the Company). Holders of Registrable Securities would have priority in all registrations over all other Units except for in registrations initiated by the Company in which case the Units being sold by the Company for its own account shall have priority. Registration on Form S-3: The holders of not less than 20% of the Registrable Securities would have the right to require the Company to register on Form S-3, if available for use by the Company, Registrable Securities for an aggregate offering price of at least $1 million. There would be no limit on the aggregate number of such Form S-3 registrations, provided that there are no more than two per year. Piggyback Registration: The holders of Registrable Securities would be entitled to “piggyback” registration rights on all registration statements of the Company, subject to the right, however, of the Company and its underwriters to reduce the number of Units proposed to be registered to a minimum of 30% on a pro

The Company would also pay the reasonable fees and expenses, not to exceed $75,000, of one special counsel to represent all the participating holders of Registrable Securities. Lock-up: The Investors would agree in connection with a potential IPO, if requested by said IPO’s managing underwriter, not to sell or transfer any Units of Common Unit of the Company for a period of up to 180 days following the IPO, provided all directors and officers of the Company agree to the same restriction. Termination of Registration Rights: Upon the earlier of: (i) one (1) years after a potential IPO, (ii) a Deemed Liquidation Event, or (iii) when all Registrable Securities of an Investor are eligible to be sold without restriction under Rule 144(k) within any 90-day period. The Company may grant no future registration rights without consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities unless subordinate to the registration rights of such holders in all respects. GOVERNANCE: Voting Rights: The Preferred Units would vote together with the Common Unit on an as- converted basis, and not as a separate class. ADDITIONAL RIGHTS: Management and Information Rights: Each holder of the Preferred Units shall receive (a) during 2016 quarterly “dashboard” summary financial results, (b) in subsequent quarterly unaudited financials, (c) annually audited statements and a budget, and (d) a quarterly brief descriptive report from the CEO.

In addition, should any Major Investor choose not to purchase its full pro rata Unit, the remaining Major Investors would have the right to purchase the remaining pro rata Units.

  • 23. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 23 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   B. The Company International Metals Trading, LLC (“International Metals Trading”, or the “Company”), began operations in October 2013, with the purpose of trading precious and base metals. The Company’s legal structure was formed as a limited liability company (LLC) under the laws of the State of Delaware on October 2013. Its principal offices are presently located at 81 Prospect St, 8th Floor Brooklyn, NY 11201. The Company’s telephone number is (866) 923-0182. The Managing Directors of the Company are Ian Parker, Joseph Kalinowski, and Ned Moulton (“Management”). C. The Benefits of LLC Membership The limited liability company (LLC) is a relatively new form of doing business in the United States (in 1988 all 50 states enacted LLC laws). The best way to describe an LLC is to explain what it is not. An LLC is not a corporation, a partnership nor is it a sole proprietorship. The LLC is a hybrid legal structure that combines the characteristics of a corporate structure and a partnership structure. It is a separate legal entity like a corporation but it has entitlement to be treated as a partnership for tax purposes and therefore carries with it certain tax benefits for the investors. The owners and investors are called members and can be virtually any entity including individuals (domestic or foreign), corporations, other LLCs, trusts, pension plans etc. Unlike corporate stocks and shares, members purchase Convertible Preferred Units. Members who hold the majority of the Units maintain controlling management of the LLC as specified in the LLC operating agreement. The primary advantage of an LLC is limiting the liability of its members. Unless personally guaranteed, members are not personally liable for the debts and obligations of the LLC. Additionally, “pass-through” or “flow-through” taxation is available, meaning that (generally speaking) the earnings of an LLC are not subject to double taxation unlike that of a “standard” corporation. However, they are treated like the earnings from partnerships, sole proprietorships and S corporations with an added benefit for all of its members. There is greater flexibility in structuring the LLC than is ordinarily the case with a corporation, including the ability to divide ownership and voting rights in unconventional ways while still enjoying the benefits of “pass-through” taxation. D. Operations International Metals Trading, LLC (the “Company”) purchases precious and base metals on a wholesale basis from direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. The Company’s customers include the largest OEM manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction companies in the country. The Company’s industry experts manage the various commodity risks by hedging margins through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. Using proper forward selling techniques and construction contracts helps ensure that the Company’s balance sheet of the transactions will not fall below the initial investment. In most cases, the Company’s principal in these transactions will be collateralized by 120% of the value of said principal, in its notional amount, in precious and base metals. There are other safeguards in place to further protect investor capital such as content and transport insurance, bonding and liens. The Company’s primary concern and objective is to protect Company capital through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. All metals materials that are bought and sold are hedged through proper forward selling agreements using the futures market (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) thus greatly reducing commodity risk. The Company believes that continued successful execution of its business strategy should provide the opportunity for leverage within the entity, allowing for enhanced returns while also mitigating downside risk through high quality hedging and risk management. E. The Offering The Company is offering a minimum of 500,000 and a maximum of 3,500,000 Units at a price of $4.00 per Unit, $.001 par value per unit. Upon completion of the Offering between 7,000,000 and 10,000,000 Common Units will be outstanding on a fully diluted basis. Each Purchaser of Preferred Units must execute a Subscription Agreement making certain representations and warranties to the Company, including such Purchaser’s qualifications as an Accredited Investor as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated.

  • 24. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 24 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   F. Risk Factors See “RISK FACTORS” section in this Memorandum for certain factors that could adversely affect an investment in the Units. Those factors include, but are not limited to unanticipated obstacles to execution of the Business Plan, general economic factors, and other unanticipated metal commodity risk. G. Use of Proceeds If the entire offering amount of 3,500,000 Series A Convertible Preferred Units is sold, Company estimates that the net proceeds will be approximately $12,740,000 after deducting the estimated offering expenses. Company will use the net proceeds from this for commodity trading & hedging activities, which will result in cash flow for the company. Management will have broad discretion in applying the Company’s net proceeds of this offering within commodity activities that meet the criteria explained within the business summary or other such similar opportunities that are backed by assets and have attractive economics.

BUSINESS PLAN Company Overview International Metals Trading, LLC (the “Company”) purchases precious and base metals on a wholesale basis from direct outlets such as mills or secondary precious metals recycling sources. The Company’s customers include the largest OEM manufacturers, refiners, primary mines and some the largest construction companies in the country. The Company’s industry experts manage the various commodity risks by hedging margins through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. Using proper forward selling techniques and construction contracts helps ensure that the Company’s balance sheet of the transactions will not fall below the initial investment. In most cases, the Company’s principal in these transactions will be collateralized by 120% of the value of said principal, in its notional amount, in precious and base metals. There are other safeguards in place to further protect investor capital such as content and transport insurance, bonding and liens. The Company’s primary concern and objective is to protect Company capital through disciplined capital preservation mechanisms. All metals materials that are bought and sold are hedged through proper forward selling agreements using the futures market (Chicago Mercantile Exchange) thus greatly reducing commodity risk. The Company believes that continued successful execution of its business strategy should provide the opportunity for leverage within the entity, allowing for enhanced returns while also mitigating downside risk through high quality hedging and risk management. Business Lines The Company has diverse revenue streams.

Platinum, Palladium, and Rhodium (PGM) Having an appropriate amount of portfolio exposure to precious metals in one’s portfolio is a good idea. In discussing exposure to precious metals, gold and silver are traditionally the preferred – and most often traded – precious metals. While exposure to these metals can be appropriate at times, as of the time of this writing, the Company believes that platinum group metals (PGM’s) offer a significant profit center that the Company has already penetrated. It is important to understand the reasoning behind the investment in precious metals along with its potential risks. Precious metals have historically been considered a safe haven against economic and geopolitical risks. Precious metals have long been considered a storage of value, thus an off-set against inflation. At times it can have a low correlation with equities so having some in investment portfolios has diversification benefits. Despite these potential benefits, the Company has come to understand that precious metals, like many commodities can be highly volatile. This has led the Company to develop hedging practices that allow the Company to take advantage of its wide reaching industry relationships without the exposure to increased variation in returns (a locked in spread).
  • 26. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 26 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   PGM as an investment There are six precious metals that make up the platinum group metals. These metals are platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), rhodium (Rh), ruthenium (Ru), osmium (Os) and iridium (Ir). The Company’s focus is on three of these metals; platinum, palladium and rhodium. These are truly rare and precious metals, but they also have another industrial side to them. These metals are used in automobile catalytic converters to act as a catalyst in extracting and removing harmful emissions produced from a combustible fuel engine. Harmful emissions that are produced by a standard combustible engine include hydrocarbons that arise due to unburned gasoline, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxide. Through the specific combination of these three precious metals, the catalytic converter captures large quantities so they are not released in to the atmosphere. PGM – Demand On the demand side, prices for these precious metals are largely tied to auto sales given their high concentration of usage in catalytic converters. The global outlook for vehicle sales has been fairly robust of late. Global auto sales in 2014 have been just under 72 million vehicles sold of which sales in Asia have been leading the way. North America represents approximately 27% of the worldwide auto market with the U.S. leading the charge making up 85% of that figure. Western Europe is 17% of the global auto market and Germany is the largest country in that category representing 25% of that region. South America consumes 6% of the global auto supply with Brazil contributing 42% of that number. Eastern Europe makes up 5% of the global auto market and Russia represents the largest portion of that demand consuming 62% of that figure. Analysts are expecting the global auto market to grow at a 2% average annual rate over the next several years as additional monetary stimulus in Europe and Asia are implemented to assist their economies gain traction. The U.S. economy has been getting stronger, albeit at a sluggish pace and should remain a driver of vehicle sales. Carefully monitoring and analyzing vehicle sales is of key importance when investing in PGM. As mentioned earlier, platinum, palladium and rhodium are heavily used in the catalytic converter manufacturing process. To illustrate this point, consider the details. Please note that the figures that are provided are broken down into two segments, primary supply (mining sources) and secondary supply (recycling). Total gross demand for platinum is 8.4 million ounces annually of which the auto catalyst market represents 3.1 million. Thus a full 37% of annual demand is driven by the production of catalytic converters. Jewelry makes up the next largest user of platinum consuming 2.7 million ounces annually or 33% of gross demand. The other areas of platinum usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows: The industry has seen a rise in physical backed Exchange Traded Funds over the past several years. ETF’s have collected over 1.5 million ounces of platinum and 2 million ounces of palladium within a relatively short time frame. As further confirmation of the rise in PGM as an investment vehicle is the formation of the World Platinum Investment Council (WPIC). This is a consortium of the six largest platinum producers worldwide with the explicit focus on assisting, “high net worth and retail investors gain a better understanding of the platinum investment opportunity through the provision of independent data, information and insight.” As investor awareness continues to increase within this area, one would expect the investment portion of gross demand to increase. Gross demand for palladium is equally tied to auto sales and the manufacture of catalytic converters. There is approximately 9.6 million ounces of gross demand for palladium annually of which the auto catalyst market absorbs 72% of those ounces. The other areas of palladium usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows:
  • 27. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 27 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   Rhodium is a very rare metal and total gross global demand for the metal is just over 1 million ounces annually. Consumption within the auto catalyst manufacturing segment makes up 79% of global gross demand annually. The other areas of rhodium usage and their percent of gross annual demand is estimated as follows: PGM Supply When analyzing the supply side of PGM, it offers an additionally compelling story for the trading of these precious metals. The primary supply for these metals are concentrated to specific regions in the world, many of them with an unstable political or economic profile. Worldwide there was 5.7 million ounces of platinum that were supplied from the primary market. South African mining operations were responsible for a significant portion of that supply providing approximately 4.1 million ounces of platinum or 72% of the primary global supply. The second greatest provider of platinum was Russia that contributed 780,000 ounces to aggregate primary global supply or 14%. Zimbabwe has been rapidly growing as a global supplier of the precious metal and accounted for 7% of global production or 400,000 ounces and North America provided 5%. The remaining 2% is provided in a fragmented way across the globe. For palladium, global supply from primary sources were 6.4 million ounces. Of these ounces produced 37% or 2.6 million ounces came from South Africa and 42% or 2.7 million ounces came from mining and stock sales in Russia. These two countries are by far the leaders of the palladium producing countries. North America was responsible for 930,000 ounces of palladium to market and Zimbabwe produced 310,000 ounces or 14% and 5%, respectively. The remaining 2% is provided in a fragmented way across the globe. Rhodium is the rarest of the three metals and global supply from the primary market in 2013 was 721,000 ounces. South Africa was responsible for 574,000 ounces or 80% of global supply, Russia produced 85,000 ounces (12%), Zimbabwe produced 33,000 ounces (5%) and North America produced 24,000 ounces (3%).
  • 28. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 28 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   It is of the utmost importance to understand where these materials are coming from and the political and economic landscape surrounding the producing nations. The mining companies in South Africa produce the most platinum globally and hold the largest reserves. The major mining companies include; Anglo American Platinum (Amplats), Impala Platinum (Implats), lonmin, Aquarius, Atlatsa, Northam, African Rainbow Minerals and Royal Bafokeng. These mines have just been through one of the longest and expensive labor strikes in industry history that crippled production in the first half of 2014. They face a complex labor structure in that unions have deemed an across the board labor rate regardless of mine efficiency. With the price of platinum hitting five year lows, many of the more inefficient mines are operating at a loss and many of these larger mines are looking to dispose of underperforming assets. With the prices so low, capital investment will be affected thus primary supply may deteriorate. According to industry analysis, platinum mine production peaked in 2006 and palladium mine production peaked in 2004. Aging mines are producing less material. It is estimated that production at these mines have deteriorated at an annual rate of 6% from their peak while operational costs have increased at a rate of 20% per annum. This is a trend that underscores one of the most important takeaways from the supply/demand dynamic of the PGM space. Analysts expect South African precious metals producers to take away up to 2 million ounces of PGM over the next several years. As reserves are depleted, supply comes off line and demand continues to advance, it makes sense that the price of PGM will rise. Some targets within the industry call for platinum at $2000 per ounce and palladium for $1000 per ounce. Zimbabwe holds a large portion of the world’s PGM reserves but the political environment in that region makes it extremely difficult to operate profitably. With the industry largely controlled by the government there, it is unlikely there will be excessive capital investment in the region. Russia is also a major producer of PGM, with its focus on palladium as a by-product of their nickel production. As production in South African mines continues to slow, greater emphasis and importance has been placed on Russian production. Given the impact that the labor strikes in South Africa has had on PGM production, it is estimated that Russian stockpiles have been dramatically reduced in an attempt to make up for slack supply. We use the term estimated simply because it is unclear what Russia holds in reserves as that information is tightly guarded by Russian officials. Ore grades in Russia is also deteriorating and Russian PGM is a by-product of this mining activity, therefore primary production from Russia, like South Africa is in decline. Russia has also been the source of geopolitical tension in the world with its annexation of Crimea from Ukraine. As tensions rose from those events, palladium witnessed aggressive moves higher in price, breaking $900 per ounce the day Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was accidently shot down over Ukraine. Global supply for the PGM sector is under pressure. Deteriorating and aging mines as well as economic and geopolitical tensions have put in place a supply scenario that favors higher prices. As a way to combat and answer this supply and demand synopsis, a secondary market for bringing these metals to market has been gaining traction. Profiting From Recycled PGM According to reports from Johnson Matthey, automotive catalytic recycling has acted as a net aggregate deduction from total gross global demand for PGM. According to the figures, platinum recycling accounted for nearly 1.3 million ounces to market to make up for the diminishing supply from primary producers in 2013. This represents a contribution of 15% to total gross global demand, up from 12% just five years ago. Auto recyclers contributed almost 2 million ounces of palladium to global supply in 2013 or 19%, up from 12% just five years ago. The numbers are similar for rhodium. In 2013, recyclers contributed 281,000 ounces of rhodium towards total global gross supply or 28%, up from 26% five years ago. International Metals Trading is positioned with the market leaders in this secondary space and upon the time of this writing will be managing approximately 60% of the U.S. market place from a trading and hedging perspective. As this market continues to grow, International Metals Trading will grow with it. Currently we conservatively estimate this business line to provide $2-4 million to the bottom line in 2016, and $4-6 million in 2017.
  • 29. Confidential Private Placement Memorandum • Regulation D Rule 506(c) Page 29 Convertible  Preferred  Membership  Units   II. Reinforcing Structural Steel Fabrication (Rebar) Company has formed a subsidiary called IMT Steel, LLC (the “IMT Steel”), a wholly owned subsidiary of International Metals Trading, LLC, to purchase steel rebar for resale to the New York metropolitan area concrete superstructure construction market. Notwithstanding a steady decrease in the market price of steel rebar, there is still a compelling margin to be made in the purchase and sale of rebar product. Based on our market intelligence as well as our deep relationships on both the buy-side and the sell-side, we believe we can generate a gross margin of $360 per ton or 41% gross margins. At IMT Steel, LLC, we expect to generate more than $84 million in revenue on a 12 month run rate within 24-30 months. This represents the sale of 7,500 tons of steel rebar (15,000,000 lbs) each month – or 90,000 tons each year (180,000,000 lbs). When fully ramped, IMT Steel, LLC should be servicing about 12 construction companies in any given month through a facility that IMT Steel, LLC will lease and operate at a privately owned, non-union, bonded port in New Jersey. Since IMT Steel’s soft launch on Tuesday, August 6th, 2015, it has secured contracts representing 60,000 tons of rebar contracts with an additional 50,000 tons likely secured in the coming months. Industry Overview The Concrete Reinforcing Bar Manufacturing industry produces concrete reinforcing bars (rebar) and bar joists. Industry products are made of steel and are installed in concrete during pouring to increase its strength and prevent cracking; therefore, they are found in nearly all concrete structures. The industry in most parts of the U.S. has yet to recover fully from the impacts of the 2008-09 recession, with revenue falling an estimated 0.3% per year on average in the five years to 2014. The recession caused construction levels to plummet, significantly reducing demand for rebar. Nevertheless, we expect industry revenue to grow by 5.5% during 2014, commensurate with accelerating commercial construction, bringing total revenue to $14.7 billion by the end of the year. That said, the New York metropolitan area is now in almost full recovery as 2015, which is our primary geographic focus. Industry products are produced by heating steel and shaping it into bars. Rebar is then formed by adding grooves and twists on the bar to ensure steady placement in concrete, while joists are formed by bending the bar into an open-web zigzag pattern. Because rebar and joists are used to strengthen concrete, industry performance depends primarily on demand from key construction markets, including the commercial and industrial building markets. Oversupply of steel, coupled with weak demand, has also suppressed the price of steel-based products. However, spurred by recovering demand and better supply control, profit finally turned the corner in 2013. Going forward, we expect this industry to recover fully from the impacts of the recession, with revenue growing at an estimated 4.9% per year on average through to 2019, to $18.7 billion. Strengthening demand will push selling prices upward albeit slowly, with price increases kept in check by heightened competition from other operators and importers. Price will remain the primary basis of competition so long as industry products are largely homogenous and available in ample supply. Rebar Fabrication
