**Item 8.01 Other Events.** 

On November 5, 2025, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio ("PUCO") issued an order ("Order") approving without modification the Stipulation and Recommendation (the "Settlement") that The Dayton Power and Light Company, doing business as AES Ohio ("AES Ohio"), a subsidiary of DPL LLC ("DPL") and The AES Corporation, entered into on August 13, 2025 with various intervening parties and the Staff of the PUCO with respect to AES Ohio's rate review for electric distribution service. The approved Settlement provides for updated base rates for electric distribution service to customers in AES Ohio's service territory. Along with setting updated rates, the approved Settlement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Establishes a revenue requirement of $483,057,887 for AES Ohio's base rates for electric distribution service.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• Provides for a return on equity of 9.999% and a cost of long-term debt of 4.49% on a rate base of $1,252,367,202, inclusive of certain assets that are currently recovered through the company's existing Distribution Investment Rider and based on a capital structure of 53.87% equity and 46.13% long-term debt.

The updated base rates for electric distribution service will be effective in November 2025. AES Ohio's distribution rate review docket, which will include a copy of the approval Order, is available at the website of the PUCO at www.puco.ohio.gov by searching Case No. 24-1009-EL-AIR. The information on the website of the PUCO is not incorporated herein.

**Forward-Looking Statements**

This current report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements regarding management's intents, beliefs, and current expectations and typically contain, but are not limited to, the terms "anticipate," "potential," "expect," "forecast," "target," "will," "would," "intend," "believe," "project," "estimate," "plan" and similar words. Such forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements with respect to return on and recovery of costs and expenses, the timing and implementation of rates and revenue increases, strategic objectives, management's expectations, or other anticipated matters in connection with the Order and its effects, including those on DPL's or AES Ohio's financial performance and condition. Forward-looking statements are not intended to be a guarantee of future results but instead constitute DPL's and AES Ohio's current expectations based on reasonable assumptions. These assumptions include, but are not limited to, our expectations regarding timing of events, accurate projections of market conditions and regulatory rates, future interest rates, commodity prices, continued operating performance and electricity volume at distribution companies, as well as achievements of planned productivity improvements and growth investments at expected rates of return.

Actual results could differ materially from those projected in our forward-looking statements due to risks, uncertainties, and other factors. Important factors that could affect actual results are discussed in DPL's and AES Ohio's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "<u>SEC</u>"), including, but not limited to, the risks discussed under Item 1A: "Risk Factors" and Item 7: "Management's Discussion & Analysis" in DPL's and AES Ohio's 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent reports filed with the SEC. Readers are encouraged to read DPL's and AES Ohio's filings to learn more about the risk factors associated with DPL's and AES Ohio's businesses. DPL and AES Ohio undertake no obligation to update or

------

revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.
