Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. OpCo DIP Credit Agreement On May 28, 2026, Trinseo Luxco S.à r.l., as holdings, Trinseo Holding S.à r.l. and Trinseo Materials Finance, Inc. (together, the “ OpCo Borrowers ”), as borrowers, the guarantors party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “ OpCo DIP Lenders ”), and Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, as administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-In-Possession Credit Agreement (the “ OpCo DIP Credit Agreement ”), providing for a senior secured super-priority priming term loan debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $270.0 million (the “ OpCo DIP Facility ”). The OpCo DIP Facility consists of: · new money term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million, of which $60.0 million was drawn in a single borrowing on the closing date; and · a roll-up facility pursuant to which up to $180.0 million of aggregate principal amount of prepetition super-priority revolving loan obligations (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon), held by the OpCo DIP Lenders will be deemed “rolled up” and converted into term loans under the OpCo DIP Facility consisting of roll-up term loans (2026 bridge) and roll-up term loans (rev), on a cashless basis at a ratio of two dollars of roll-up term loans for every one dollar of new money commitments funded. Approximately $34.0 million of undrawn letters of credit outstanding as of the closing date were deemed issued under the OpCo DIP Credit Agreement at closing. Any drawings under such letters of credit will be deemed to be an additional borrowing of roll-up term loans that increases the outstanding principal amount of roll-up term loans (rev) under the OpCo DIP Facility by a corresponding amount. The new money term loans under the OpCo DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR (subject to a floor of 3.00%) plus 9.00%, payable in cash. The roll-up term loans (2026 bridge) bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR (subject to a floor of 3.00%) plus 9.00%, payable in cash. The roll-up term loans (rev) under the OpCo DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR (subject to a floor of 0.00%) plus 2.25%, payable in cash. The OpCo DIP Facility is subject to a commitment fee, which was paid in kind in full at closing, and a put option premium, which is payable in kind on each date that new money term loans are funded. The OpCo DIP Facility matures on the earliest to occur of: · May 28, 2027, · the effective date of a chapter 11 plan, · the acceleration of the outstanding term loans and termination of commitments, · certain other customary events set forth in the OpCo DIP Credit Agreement, and · the closing of a sale of all or substantially all assets or equity of the loan parties (other than to another loan party). The OpCo DIP Facility is subject to a minimum liquidity covenant requiring liquidity of not less than $100.0 million, tested weekly, and a disbursements variance covenant requiring total actual operating disbursements not to exceed total budgeted operating disbursements (subject to certain exceptions) by more than 17.5% over applicable testing periods. The Chapter 11 Cases are also subject to certain milestones, including deadlines for entry of the final DIP order and confirmation of the Plan. The proceeds of the OpCo DIP Facility may be used to: · roll up amounts outstanding under the prepetition revolving loan obligations, · make adequate protection payments, · pay the fees, expenses, and administrative costs of the Chapter 11 Cases, · pay obligations arising from or related to the carve-out, · pay prepetition obligations as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and · fund working capital and other general corporate needs and purposes of the OpCo Borrowers and certain of their affiliates, in each case in accordance with the OpCo DIP Credit Agreement and the applicable debtor-in-possession orders of the Bankruptcy Court (the “ DIP Orders ”), including an approved budget, subject to permitted variances. The obligations under the OpCo DIP Facility are guaranteed by each guarantor party thereto and secured by liens on substantially all assets of the OpCo Borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, and constitute super-priority administrative expense claims under section 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code. The OpCo DIP Credit Agreement contains representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default customary for debtor-in-possession financings of this type. Super-Holdco DIP Credit Agreement On May 28, 2026, the Company, as parent, Trinseo NA Finance LLC, as holdings, Trinseo Luxco Finance SPV S.à r.l. and Trinseo NA Finance SPV LLC (together, the “ SHC Borrowers ”), as borrowers, the guarantors party thereto from time to time, the lenders party thereto from time to time (the “ SHC DIP Lenders ”), and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as administrative agent and collateral agent, entered into a Senior Secured Super-Priority Debtor-In-Possession HoldCo Credit Agreement (the “ Super-Holdco DIP Credit Agreement ”), providing for a senior secured super-priority priming term loan debtor-in-possession credit facility in an aggregate principal amount of $157.5 million (the “ Super-Holdco DIP Facility ”). The Super-Holdco DIP Facility consists of: · new money term loan commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $52.5 million, of which $35.0 million was drawn in a single borrowing on the closing date; and · a roll-up facility pursuant to which $105.0 million of aggregate principal amount of prepetition first lien term loan obligations (including accrued and unpaid interest thereon) held by the SHC DIP Lenders will be deemed “rolled up” and converted into term loans under the Super-Holdco DIP Facility, on a cashless basis at a ratio of two dollars of roll-up term loans for every one dollar of new money commitments funded. The new money term loans under the Super-Holdco DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR (subject to a floor of 3.00%) plus 9.00%, payable in cash. The roll-up term loans under the Super-Holdco DIP Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR (subject to a floor of 3.00%) plus 8.50%, payable in cash. The Super-Holdco DIP Facility is subject to a commitment fee, which was paid in kind in full at closing, and a put option premium, which is payable in kind on each date that new money term loans are funded.

The Chapter 11 Cases are also subject to certain milestones, including deadlines for entry of the final DIP order and confirmation of the Plan. The proceeds of the Super-Holdco DIP Facility may be used to: · roll up amounts outstanding under the prepetition first lien secured obligations, · make adequate protection payments, · pay the fees, expenses, and administrative costs of the Chapter 11 Cases, · pay obligations arising from or related to the carve-out, · pay prepetition obligations as approved by the Bankruptcy Court, and · fund working capital and other general corporate needs and purposes of the SHC Borrowers and certain of their affiliates, in each case in accordance with the Super-Holdco DIP Credit Agreement and the applicable DIP Orders (including an approved budget, subject to permitted variances). The obligations under the Super-Holdco DIP Facility are guaranteed by each guarantor party thereto and secured by liens on substantially all assets of the SHC Borrowers and guarantors, subject to certain exceptions, and constitute super-priority administrative expense claims under section 364(c) of the Bankruptcy Code.

Accounts Receivable Securitization Facility In connection with the Chapter 11 Cases and the DIP Facilities, on May 29, 2026, Styron Receivables Funding Designated Activity Company, a company incorporated in Ireland (the “ AR Borrower ”), Trinseo Ireland Global IHB Limited, as investment manager, the lenders party thereto, GLAS USA LLC, as administrative agent, and GLAS Americas LLC, as collateral agent, entered into an Amendment and Restatement Agreement (the “ Amendment and Restatement Agreement ”), which amends and restates the Credit and Security Agreement, dated as of July 18, 2024 (as amended and restated, the “ AR Credit Agreement ”). The AR Credit Agreement provides for a non-recourse revolving credit facility in an aggregate amount of up to $150.0 million (the “ AR Facility ”), collateralized by certain trade receivables generated by certain of the Company’s Swiss, German, Dutch and U.S. subsidiaries (the “ Originators ”). Advances under the AR Credit Agreement bear interest at a rate per annum equal to Term SOFR (subject to a floor of 2.00%) plus 6.00%, payable in cash. The AR Facility incurs interest on a minimum of $75,000,000 of advances irrespective of actual amounts outstanding. The AR Borrower is also required to pay an unused facility fee on a portion of the unfunded revolving commitments, as well as ongoing agent fees and servicing fees. The AR Facility matures on the earliest to occur of: · May 29, 2027, · the date the Debtors exit the Chapter 11 Cases under a chapter 11 plan, and · the occurrence of an amortization event as set forth in the AR Credit Agreement. The proceeds of the AR Facility may be used to: · refinance the obligations under the existing credit and security agreement, · finance the purchase of eligible receivables, · pay transaction expenses, interest, fees and other amounts due under the AR Credit Agreement and the other transaction documents, and · repay the subordinated junior loan note. The obligations under the AR Facility are secured by a first-priority security interest in substantially all of the AR Borrower’s assets, including all pool receivables, related security, collections, collection accounts and other transaction accounts, and all proceeds of any of the foregoing. The AR Credit Agreement contains representations, warranties, affirmative and negative covenants, and amortization events customary for receivables securitization facilities of this type, including but not limited to a cross-default to the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ other material indebtedness. As part of exit financing contemplated by the Plan, the Restructuring Support Agreement provides that, on the effective date of a chapter 11 plan, the AR Facility will be converted into, or refinanced by, an exit accounts receivable securitization facility on terms and conditions to be agreed upon by the Debtors and the creditor parties. The foregoing description of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement and the AR Credit Agreement included in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms of the Amendment and Restatement Agreement (including the AR Credit Agreement attached thereto as Exhibit A), a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.3, and which is incorporated herein by reference.
