Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

The information contained in Item 2.03 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 1.01.

Section 2 - Financial Information

Item 2.03 Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant

On February 26, 2021, Western Power Distribution PLC ("WPD"), an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of PPL Corporation, entered into a £350 million credit facility with J.P. Morgan AG as Agent and the financial institutions party thereto as Original Lenders (the "Credit Facility").

Borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at a percentage rate per annum which is equal to the sum of (a) the margin plus (b) the LIBOR rate. The margin is 100 basis points per annum.

The Credit Facility is voluntarily prepayable from time to time without premium or penalty, and is mandatorily prepayable upon certain events, including in the event of a Change of Control, as defined in the Credit Facility, of WPD.

In addition, under the Credit Facility WPD is subject to certain financial covenants, which require that WPD's (i) total net debt does not exceed 87.5% of its regulatory asset value, as determined from time to time by the U.K. Office of Gas and Electricity Markets, and (ii) consolidated EBITDA to interest payable is no less than 3.0 to 1.0, in each case as calculated pursuant to such agreement. WPD intends to use the Credit Facility for the repayment of existing corporate debt and for general corporate purposes.

The Credit Facility also contains customary representations, covenants and events of default. Failure to meet the covenants beyond applicable grace periods and certain other events could result in acceleration of the loans and/or termination of the Credit Facility.

The foregoing summary of the Credit Facility does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Credit Facility, which is filed as Exhibits 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
