Item 8.01. Other Events

On August 1, 2025, D. Boral ARC Acquisition I Corp. (the “Company”) consummated its initial public offering (“IPO”), which consisted of 25,000,000 units (the “Units”). The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $250,000,000. Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares”), of the Company, and one-half of one redeemable warrant (each, a “Warrant”) of the Company, with each whole Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share. The Company has granted the underwriters a 45-day option to purchase up to 3,750,000 additional units at the initial public offering price to cover over-allotments, if any.

Simultaneously with the closing of the IPO, pursuant to the Private Placement Units Purchase Agreement, the Company completed the private placement of an aggregate of 200,000 units (the “Private Placement Units”) to the Sponsor at $10.00 per Unit, each Unit consisting of one Class A Ordinary Share and one-half of one redeemable Warrant, each whole Warrant exercisable to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share of the Company. The Warrants contained in the Private Placement Units are identical to the Warrants included in the Units sold in the IPO, except as otherwise disclosed in the registration statement for the IPO. No underwriting discounts or commissions were paid with respect to such sale. The issuance of the Private Placement Units was made pursuant to the exemption from registration contained in Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

A total of $250,000,000, comprised of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units, was placed in a U.S.-based trust account maintained by Odyssey Transfer and Trust Company, acting as trustee.

An audited balance sheet as of August 1, 2025 reflecting receipt of the proceeds from the IPO and the sale of the Private Placement Units has been issued by the Company and is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1.
