Ladies and Gentlemen:

This Letter of Transmittal is provided in connection with the Company’s offer (the “Offer to Purchase”) dated November 28, 2022 to purchase up to the number of shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Common Stock”) that can be repurchased with approximately $235,171,302. This amount represents the value of 5.00% of the aggregate number of the Company’s shares outstanding as of September 30, 2022. The term “Shares” as used herein refers only to those shares of Common Stock that are eligible to be repurchased. The Company is an externally managed closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, and is incorporated in the State of Maryland. The person(s) signing this Letter of Transmittal (the “Signatory”) hereby tender(s) to the Company the number of Shares specified below in Section 3 “Number of Shares Being Tendered” for purchase by the Company at a price equal to the net offering price per Share for the applicable class of Common Stock in effect as of December 31, 2022 (the “Applicable Purchase Price”), under the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and in this Letter of Transmittal (which Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal, together with any amendments or supplements hereto and thereto, collectively constitute the “Offer”). The Offer will expire at 7:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on December 30, 2022 (the Expiration Date), unless extended. Holders who tender Shares in this Offer will not receive a dividend payment for any Shares that are purchased in the Offer with record dates after 7:00 P.M. on December 30, 2022, unless the Offer is extended.

Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment for the Shares tendered herewith, in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer, the Signatory hereby sells, assigns and transfers to, or upon the order of, the Company, all right, title and interest in and to all of the Shares that are being tendered hereby that are purchased pursuant to the Offer.

The name(s) of the investor(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond exactly with the name(s) on the subscription agreement accepted by the Company in connection with such investor(s)’ purchase of the Shares, unless such investor(s)’ Shares have been transferred, in which event the name(s) of the investor(s) on this Letter of Transmittal must correspond exactly with the name of the last transferee indicated on the stock ledger maintained in book-entry form by DST Systems, Inc., the Company’s transfer agent. The Signatory recognizes that, under certain circumstances as set forth in the Offer to Purchase, the Company may amend, extend or terminate the Offer or may not be required to purchase any of the Shares tendered hereby. In any such event, the Signatory understands that the Shares not purchased, if any, will continue to be held by the Signatory and will not be tendered.

The Signatory understands that acceptance of Shares by the Company for payment will constitute a binding agreement between the Signatory and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer. The Signatory understands that the payment of the Applicable Purchase Price for the Shares accepted for purchase by the Company will be made by the Company promptly in the form of a non-transferrable, non-interest bearing promissory note (a “Note”) following the expiration of the Offer. The undersigned acknowledges that DST Systems Inc., the Company’s transfer agent, will hold the Note on behalf of the undersigned. Following the determination of the Applicable Purchase Price, Payment of the Applicable Purchase Price for the Shares tendered by the Signatory will be made on behalf of the Company by check or wire transfer to the account identified by the Signatory below.

If the Signatory participates in the Company’s DRIP, the Signatory will continue to participate in the DRIP unless the Company is otherwise notified by the Signatory. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Signatory tenders all of their Shares in the Offer (whether or not the Company accepts all such Shares for payment pursuant to the Offer), the Signatory’s participation in the DRIP will automatically cease with respect to distributions scheduled to be paid after the Expiration Date.

All authority herein conferred or agreed to be conferred shall survive the death or incapacity of the Signatory and all obligations of the Signatory hereunder shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of the Signatory. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

The Signatory hereby acknowledges that capitalized terms not defined in this Letter of Transmittal shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase.

5. Determinations of Validity. All questions as to the form of documents and the validity of Shares will be resolved by the Company in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding, subject to the rights of tendering shareholders to challenge the Company’s determination in a court of competent jurisdiction. The Company reserves the absolute right to reject any deliveries of any Shares that are not in proper form, or the acceptance of which would, in the opinion of the Company or its counsel, be unlawful. The Company reserves the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity of delivery for exchange with regard to any Shares, provided that any such waiver shall apply to all tenders of Shares.

6. Requests for Assistance or Additional Copies. Requests for assistance or for additional copies of this Letter of Transmittal may be directed to the Company at the address set forth on the cover page of this Letter of Transmittal. Shareholders who do not own Shares directly may also obtain such information and copies from their commercial bank, trust company or other nominee. Shareholders who do not own Shares directly are required to tender their Shares through their commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and should NOT submit this Letter of Transmittal to the Company.

7. Tax Information.

(a) Withholding. The Company is entitled to deduct and withhold from amounts otherwise payable to any investor whose Shares are accepted for purchase by the Company any amounts that the Company is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or any provision of state, local or foreign tax law. To the extent that amounts are withheld, the withheld amounts shall be treated for all purposes as having been paid and issued to the investor in respect of which such deduction and withholding was made.

(b) Cost Basis Information. Per the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) regulation “Basis Reporting by Securities Brokers and Basis Determination for Stock,” the Company is required to know the cost accounting method the owner(s) would like the Company to use in calculating the gain or loss associated with this Offer. If the owner(s) does not provide this information, the Company will use its chosen default method, First-In, First-Out (FIFO). Hence, unless the owner(s) have previously directed the Company to use another method, the Company’s default method, First-In, First-Out (FIFO), will be used to calculate the gain or loss associated with this Offer. Note that the Company’s default method may not be the most tax advantageous method. You may want to consult their financial advisor or tax professional regarding the most tax advantageous method given the owner(s) circumstances. If the owners(s) would like to change the cost accounting method used in conjunction with the tender of shares, please contact the Owl Rock Call Center at 1 (844) 331-3341.

(c) Backup Withholding. Each investor that desires to tender Shares must, unless an exemption applies, provide the Company with such investor’s taxpayer identification number on the IRS Form W-9 included with this Letter of Transmittal, with the required certifications being made under penalties of perjury. If the investor is an individual, the taxpayer identification number is his or her social security number. If the Company is not provided with the correct taxpayer identification number, the investor may be subject to a $50 penalty imposed by the IRS in addition to being subject to backup withholding.


Investors are required to give the Company the taxpayer identification number(s) of the investor(s) of the Shares by completing the IRS Form W-9 included with this Letter of Transmittal. If the Shares are registered in more than one name or are not in the name of the actual owner, consult Part II of the General Instructions to Form W-9, which immediately follow the IRS Form W-9.

If backup withholding applies, the Company is required to withhold a portion of any payment made to the shareholder with respect to Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer. The applicable rate for backup withholding is currently 24%. Backup withholding is not an additional tax. Rather, the U.S. federal income tax liability of persons subject to backup withholding will be reduced by the amount of tax withheld. If withholding results in an overpayment of taxes, a refund may be obtained by the investor from the IRS.

Certain investors (including, among others, most corporations and certain foreign persons) are exempt from backup withholding requirements. To qualify as an exempt recipient on the basis of foreign status, an investor must generally submit a properly completed IRS Form W-8BEN, IRS Form W-8BEN-E, IRS Form W-8IMY, IRS Form W-8ECI, or other applicable form, signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that person’s exempt status. An investor would use an IRS Form W-8BEN to certify that it is neither a citizen nor a resident of the United States and would use an IRS Form W-8ECI to certify that (1) it is neither a citizen nor resident of the United States, and (2) the proceeds of the sale of the Shares are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business. A non-U.S. investor may also use an IRS Form W-8BEN to certify that it is eligible for benefits under a tax treaty between the United States and such foreign person’s country of residence.

INVESTORS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISOR(S) AS TO THEIR QUALIFICATION FOR EXEMPTION FROM THE BACKUP WITHHOLDING REQUIREMENTS AND THE PROCEDURE FOR OBTAINING AN EXEMPTION.
