Item 1.01Item 1.01 - Entry into Material Agreement
Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On September 3, 2026, DPC Holdings PLC (“the Company”)
and certain of its subsidiaries, Doncasters Limited and Doncasters Inc., (together, the “Borrowers”), entered into a credit
agreement with certain financial institutions, as lenders, and Barclays Bank PLC., as administrative agent (the “Credit Agreement”).
The Credit Agreement provides for a $325 million senior unsecured revolving
credit facility with multi-currency borrowing capability, including borrowings in U.S. Dollars, Euro and Sterling. The Credit Agreement
also provides for an uncommitted accordion facility of up to $150 million. The Credit Agreement matures on the earlier of September 3,
2029, unless otherwise extended in accordance with the terms of the Credit Agreement, or the termination of all commitments.
Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Borrowers’
election, at: (1) a Term Benchmark or RFR rate applicable to the relevant currency (including Term SOFR for U.S. Dollar borrowings, EURIBOR
or €STR for Euro borrowings, and SONIA for Sterling borrowings), plus an applicable rate; or (2) the Alternate Base Rate, which is
defined as the highest of (i) the Prime Rate, (ii) the NYFRB Rate plus 0.50%, and (iii) one-month Term SOFR plus 1.00%, plus an applicable
rate. The applicable rate varies across six pricing levels based on the Company’s total net leverage ratio. The applicable rate
adjusts automatically upon delivery of required financial statements and compliance certificates and increases to the highest pricing
level during the occurrence and continuation of an event of default.
The Credit Agreement includes a swingline sub-facility that allows
Borrowers to request U.S. Dollar loans of up to an aggregate of $50 million, subject to each swingline lender’s individual swingline
commitment. The Credit Agreement also includes a letter of credit sub-facility that permits the Borrowers to request letters of credit
in multiple currencies up to a sub-cap of $50 million.
The Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative, negative, and
financial covenants for an unsecured investment grade revolving credit facility, including reporting requirements, limitations on indebtedness,
liens certain mergers and asset sales, and changes in business. The Credit Agreement also includes customary events of default, including
non-payment, covenant breaches, cross-default, insolvency events, and change of control events.
In connection with the Credit Agreement, the Company repaid the remaining
balances, including accrued interest, in full, on two of its borrowings: (1) a senior secured term note loan facility with a syndicate
of financial institutions, entered into in April 2024 and subsequently amended in April 2025; and (2) a senior secured asset backed lending
facility with Wells Fargo, entered into in March 2020 and subsequently amended in August 2022.
Under a separate Guarantee Agreement entered into on September 3, 2026
(the “Guarantee Agreement”), the Company and certain of its subsidiaries agree to guarantee the Borrowers’ obligations
under the Credit Agreement. These guarantees cover all amounts owed under the facility and remain in place until the loans are repaid
and the commitments are terminated. The guarantees are subject to customary legal limitations in certain jurisdictions and may be released
if a subsidiary is sold or otherwise no longer required to provide support under the Credit Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement and the Guarantee
Agreement do not purport to be complete and each is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement and
the Guarantee Agreement, each of which is filed as an exhibit to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

Caution Concerning Forward-Looking Statements
This current report on Form 8-K and the accompanying press release
contain forward-looking statements. Many statements included in these documents that are not statements of historical fact, including
statements about our beliefs and expectations, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are inherently subject to risks
and uncertainties, some of which cannot be predicted or quantified. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology
such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “can,” “continue,” “could,” “estimate,”
“expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “objective,” “ongoing,” “plan,”
“predict,” “project,” “potential,” “should,” “will,” “would,”
or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements
about the impact of the debt refinancing and the ability to increase or extend the credit facility.
Some of the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially
from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements include: the risk that the anticipated reductions in annual interest
expenses may not be realized or may be offset by changes in interest rates or currency fluctuations; the risk that the refinancing may
not provide the anticipated increase in liquidity or financial flexibility; the possibility that one or more lenders may fail to provide
their commitments under the revolving credit facility; the risk that the replacement of financing facilities may result in less favorable
terms, covenants, or restrictions than currently anticipated; and the possibility that the revolving credit facility may not be extended
or increased as anticipated due to a failure to satisfy customary conditions or otherwise; and the other factors set forth under “Risk
Factors” detailed in the Company’s Prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, as amended, which was
filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on June 26,2026, as well as other filings the Company makes
with the Securities and Exchange Commission. In addition, in light of these risks and uncertainties, the matters referred to in the forward-looking
statements contained in this press release may not occur.
The forward-looking statements made in these documents relate only
to events as of the date on which the statements are made. The Company undertakes no obligation to update any forward-looking statement
to reflect events or circumstances after the date on which the statement is made or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.
The Company may not actually achieve the plans, intentions or expectations disclosed in the forward-looking statements and you should

whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.
