 Exhibit 10.1 

FORM OF INVESTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT 

THIS INVESTOR SUPPORT AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is dated as of [_________], 2022 by and among Periphas Capital Partnering
Corporation, a Delaware corporation (“PCPC”), and the shareholder of PCPC whose name appears on the signature page of this Agreement (the “Investor”). 

RECITALS 
 WHEREAS,
PCPC was formed for the purpose of identifying a company to partner with, in order to effectuate a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar partnering transaction with one or more businesses
(“Partnering Transaction”); 
 WHEREAS, PCPC’s certificate of incorporation provides that in the event that
PCPC has not consummated an initial Partnering Transaction within 24 months (or 27 months if PCPC has executed a letter of intent, agreement in principle or definitive agreement for an initial Partnering Transaction within 24 months) of
December 14, 2020 (the “Termination Date”) or such later date as approved by holders of a majority of the voting power of PCPC’s then outstanding common stock that are voted at a meeting to extend such date, voting
together as a single class, PCPC shall (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but not more than ten business days thereafter subject to lawfully available funds therefor,
redeem 100% of the public shares at a per share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the trust account, including interest earned on the funds held in the trust account (net of permitted withdrawals), divided by
the number of then outstanding public shares, subject to applicable law and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining stockholders and the board of directors in accordance with
applicable law, dissolve and liquidate. 
 WHEREAS, PCPC is pursuing a potential Partnering Transaction and desires to submit to a
vote of its stockholders a proposal (the “Extension Proposal”) to extend the date by which PCPC must consummate a Partnering Transaction from the Termination Date to September 30, 2023 or such earlier date as determined by the
board of directors of PCPC (the “Extension”); 
 WHEREAS, as of the date hereof, the Investor beneficially owns (as
defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), and has sole voting power with respect to the number of shares of Class A common
stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of PCPC (the “PCPC Shares”), and owns the number of warrants (“PCPC Warrants”) exercisable for PCPC Shares, as indicated on the signature page hereto; 

WHEREAS, as an inducement to PCPC to seek the Extension, the parties hereto desire to agree to certain matters as set forth herein.

 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements contained herein, and intending to be legally bound
hereby, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows: 
  











 ARTICLE I 

COVENANTS 

Section 1.1 Agreement to Vote. The Investor hereby agrees to appear and vote at any duly called meeting of the shareholders of
PCPC (or any adjournment or postponement thereof), provide his, her or its written consent in any action by written resolution of the shareholders of PCPC, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the shareholders
of PCPC is sought, all of such PCPC Shares, and in each case cause all the PCPC Shares held by the Investor to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum, and vote or provide his, her or its consent: (a) in favor of the
Extension Proposal, (b) in favor of any other matter reasonably necessary or required to the effect the Extension and considered and voted upon by the shareholders of PCPC and (c) against any proposal that conflicts or materially impedes
or interferes with, or would adversely affect or delay the approval of, the Extension Proposal. Notwithstanding the foregoing, PCPC hereby acknowledges that the Investor has agreed to the covenants in this Section 1.1 only on the assumption
that PCPC will consummate a Partnering Transaction with a particular target, and PCPC further acknowledges that if a Partnering Transaction is not consummated with such target, then it is the present intention of the Investor (but it being
understood that the Investor is not hereby bound) to redeem all of the Investor’s PCPC Shares (provided that such redemption right is available) or otherwise not consent to or participate in any other transaction which may be effected by PCPC.

 Section 1.2 No Redemption. The Investor hereby agrees, for the benefit of PCPC, not to redeem, submit a request to
PCPC’s transfer agent to redeem, or otherwise exercise any right to redeem any PCPC Shares, and to reverse and revoke any prior redemption elections made with respect to the PCPC Shares, in each case solely in connection with the vote of the
holders of the PCPC shares to approve the Extension Proposal and the effectiveness of the Extension. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 1.2 or in any other provision of this Agreement shall limit or otherwise restrict the
ability of the Investor to redeem or request the redemption of any PCPC Shares (provided that such redemption right is available), other than in connection with a stockholder vote on the Extension Proposal and the effectiveness of the Extension as
set forth in this Section 1.2. 
 Section 1.3 No Transfer. During the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on
the earlier of (a) December 14, 2022 or (b) the date of PCPC’s determination to abandon the Extension Proposal prior to the stockholder vote on the Extension Proposal, the Investor shall not (i) sell, offer to sell, contract
or agree to sell (including, without limitation, sell short), assign, hypothecate, pledge, create a mortgage, pledge, security interest, encumbrance, lien, license or sub-license, depository receipt issued for
shares with meeting rights, attachment, charge, or other similar encumbrance or interest (including voting, transfer or similar restrictions) (a “Lien”) on, grant any option to purchase, transfer, or otherwise dispose of or agree to
dispose of, directly or indirectly, file (or participate in the filing of) a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, deposit into a voting trust, grant any proxy or power of attorney with respect to, or establish or
increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position (within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act) with respect to, any PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants held by the Investor, (ii) enter into any swap
or other arrangement that transfers to another individual, partnership, corporation, limited liability 

  
 2 












 
company, joint stock company, unincorporated organization or association, trust, joint venture, foundation or other similar entity, whether or not a legal entity (a “Person”), in
whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants held by the Investor (clauses (i) and (ii) collectively, a “Transfer”) or (iii) publicly announce any intention to effect
any transaction specified in clause (i) or (ii); provided, however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit Transfers from the Investor to any other Person who directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls, is
controlled by, or is under common control with, such Investor (an “Affiliate”), so long as, prior to and as a condition to the effectiveness of any such Transfer, such Affiliate executes and delivers to PCPC a joinder to this
Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A. 
 Section 1.4 New Shares. In the event that (a) any PCPC Shares,
PCPC Warrants or other capital stock of PCPC are issued to the Investor or any of its Affiliates after the date of this Agreement pursuant to any stock dividend, stock split, recapitalization, reclassification, combination, conversion or exchange of
PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants of, on or affecting the PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants owned by the Investor or otherwise, (b) the Investor purchases or otherwise acquires beneficial ownership of any PCPC Shares, PCPC Warrants or other capital stock
of PCPC after the date of this Agreement, or (c) the Investor acquires the right to vote or share in the voting of any PCPC Shares or other capital stock of PCPC after the date of this Agreement (such PCPC Shares, PCPC Warrants or other capital
stock issued, purchased or acquired as described in any of the foregoing clauses (a) through (c), collectively, the “New Securities”), then (x) the Investor shall notify PCPC in writing and as promptly as reasonably
practicable of any such New Securities and (y) such New Securities shall be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted the PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants owned by the Investor as of the date hereof.

waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim 

  
 5 












 
or otherwise, in any Proceeding against such party (i) arising under this Agreement or (ii) in any way connected with or related or incidental to the dealings of the parties in respect
of this Agreement, (A) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts as described in this Section 3.2 for any reason, (B) that it or its property is exempt or immune from the

(1) the Proceeding in any such court is brought against such party in an inconvenient forum, (2) the venue of such Proceeding against such party is improper or (3) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced
against such party in or by such courts. Each Party agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth in Section 3.8 below shall be
effective service of process for any such Proceeding. 
 Section 3.3 Waiver of Jury Trial. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY WAIVES, TO
THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OF ANY CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION (I) ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY, IN EACH CASE, WHETHER NOW EXISTING OR HEREAFTER ARISING,
AND WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, EQUITY, OR OTHERWISE. THE PARTIES EACH HEREBY AGREES AND CONSENTS THAT ANY SUCH CLAIM, DEMAND, ACTION OR CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE DECIDED BY COURT TRIAL WITHOUT A JURY AND THAT THE PARTIES MAY FILE AN ORIGINAL
COUNTERPART OF A COPY OF THIS AGREEMENT WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE CONSENT OF THE PARTIES HERETO TO THE WAIVER OF THEIR RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (A) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY

(C) EACH SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY AND (D) EACH SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 3.3. 

Section 3.4 Assignment. This Agreement and all of the provisions hereof will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns. Neither this Agreement nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder will be assigned (including by operation of law) without the prior written consent of all
of the other parties hereto. 
 Section 3.5 Specific Performance. The parties hereto agree that irreparable damage may occur in
the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties hereto shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to
prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware (or, if the Chancery Court of the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any state
or federal court within the State of Delaware or, in the 

  
 6 












 
event each federal court within the State of Delaware declines to accept jurisdiction, any other Delaware state court), this being in addition to any other remedy to which such party is entitled
at law or in equity, and in each case, without posting a bond or undertaking and without proof of damages. Each of the parties agrees that it will not oppose the granting of an injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief when
expressly available pursuant to the terms of this Agreement on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity. 

Section 3.6 Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended, changed, supplemented, waived or otherwise modified or terminated,
except upon the execution and delivery of a written agreement executed by PCPC and the Investor. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any holder of PCPC Shares or PCPC Warrants may become party to this Agreement by executing
and delivering a joinder to this Agreement in the form attached hereto as Annex A. In such event, each such Person shall thereafter shall be deemed an Investor for all purposes under this Agreement. 

Section 3.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent
jurisdiction, the other provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. Any provision of this Agreement held invalid or unenforceable only in part or degree will remain in full force and effect to the extent not held invalid or
unenforceable. 
 Section 3.8 Notices. All notices, requests, claims, demands and other communications hereunder shall be in
writing and shall be given (and shall be deemed to have been duly given) by delivery in person, by e-mail (having obtained electronic delivery confirmation thereof (i.e., an electronic record of the
