Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the “Registrant”), a Delaware corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “Blue Owl”), is a global alternative asset manager. Anchored by a strong Permanent Capital base, the Company deploys private capital across Credit, GP Strategic Capital and Real Assets platforms on behalf of institutional and private wealth clients.

The Company operates through one operating and reportable segment that provides asset management services to clients. The Company’s, and therefore the single segment’s, primary sources of revenues are management fees, which are generally based on the amount of the Company’s fee-paying assets under management. The Company generates substantially all of its revenues in the United States. The Company’s Chief Operating Decision Makers (“CODMs”) are its Co-CEOs. The Company concluded that it has a single operating segment, as this reflects how the CODMs allocate resources and assess performance under the Company’s “one-firm approach,” which includes operating collaboratively across product lines, with a single expense pool.

The Company conducts its operations through Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP (“Blue Owl Holdings,” and collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Blue Owl Operating Group”). The Registrant holds its controlling financial interests in the Blue Owl Operating Group indirectly through Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP LLC and certain other directly or indirectly wholly owned subsidiaries of the Registrant (collectively, “Blue Owl GP”).

On April 1, 2025, the Company completed the previously announced “Internal Reorganization,” pursuant to which, among other things, Blue Owl Capital Carry LP (“Blue Owl Carry”) became a wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Owl Holdings. Prior to the Internal Reorganization, Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry were referred to, collectively, as the “Blue Owl Operating Partnerships.” Following the Internal Reorganization, each unitholder of the Blue Owl Operating Partnerships who previously held an equal number of units in each of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry instead holds a single class of units in Blue Owl Holdings.

The IPI Acquisition collectively with the acquisitions listed above are referred to as the “Acquisitions.”

In addition, in connection with the IPI Acquisition, the Company entered into a services agreement with ICONIQ (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which ICONIQ will provide certain services, including investment analysis and investor relations services to the Company or its subsidiaries. See Note 10 for additional information regarding the Services Agreement.

Class A Shares—Shares of Class A common stock that are publicly traded. Class A stockholders are entitled to dividends declared on the Class A Shares by the Registrant’s board of directors (the “Board”). As of March 31, 2025, the Class A Shares and Class C Shares (collectively, the “Low-Vote Shares”) represented a combined 20% of the total voting power of all shares.

Class B Shares—Shares of Class B common stock that are not publicly traded. Class B stockholders are entitled to dividends in the same amount per share as declared on Class A Shares. As of March 31, 2025, the Class B Shares and Class D Shares (collectively, the “High-Vote Shares”) represented a combined 80% of the total voting power of all shares.

Class C Shares—Shares of Class C common stock that are not publicly traded. Class C stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct and indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (as defined below and subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly or indirectly by non-Principals, one Class C Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class C Shares are Low-Vote Shares as described above.

Class D Shares—Shares of Class D common stock that are not publicly traded. Class D stockholders do not participate in the earnings of the Registrant, as the holders of such shares participate in the economics of the Blue Owl Operating Group through their direct or indirect holdings of Common Units and Incentive Units (subject to limitations on unvested units). For every Common Unit held directly and indirectly by Principals, one Class D Share is issued to grant a corresponding voting interest in the Registrant. The Class D Shares are High-Vote Shares as described above.

RSUs—The Company grants Class A restricted share units (“RSUs”) to its employees and independent Board members. An RSU entitles the holder to receive a Class A Share, or cash equal to the fair value of a Class A Share at the election of the Board, upon completion of a requisite service period. RSUs granted to date do not accrue dividend equivalents. No RSUs were issued prior to the Business Combination. RSU grants are accounted for as equity-based compensation. See Note 10 for additional information.

GP Units—The Registrant indirectly holds a general partner interest and all of the GP Units in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization). The GP Units represent the Registrant’s economic ownership in the Blue Owl Operating Group. For each Class A Share and Class B Share outstanding, the Registrant indirectly holds an equal number of GP Units. References to GP Units also include Common Units (as defined below) acquired and held directly or indirectly by the Registrant due to the Acquisitions, as well as Common Units exchanged for Class A Shares.

Common Units—Common Units are limited partner interests held by certain members of management, employees and other third parties in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization). Subject to certain restrictions, Common Units are exchangeable on a one-for-one basis for either Class A Shares (if held by a non-Principal) or Class B Shares (if held by a Principal). Common Unit exchanges may be settled in cash at the election of the Company’s Exchange Committee (currently composed of independent members of the Board), and only if funded from proceeds of a new permanent equity offering. Upon an exchange of Common Units for an equal number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, a corresponding number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, respectively, will be cancelled. Common Unitholders are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units.

Incentive Units—Incentive Units are Class P limited partner interests in Blue Owl Holdings (as well as Blue Owl Carry prior to the Internal Reorganization) granted to certain members of management, employees and consultants (collectively, “Incentive Unit Grantees”) and are generally subject to vesting conditions. Incentive Units are held indirectly through Blue Owl Management Vehicle LP on behalf of Incentive Unit Grantees. A vested Incentive Unit may convert into a Common Unit upon becoming economically equivalent on a tax basis to a Common Unit. Once vested, holders of Incentive Units (“Incentive Unitholders”) are entitled to distributions in the same amount per unit as declared on GP Units and Common Units. Unvested Incentive Unitholders generally are not entitled to distributions; however, consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units, unvested Incentive Units receive taxable income allocations that may subject holders to tax liabilities. As a result, Incentive Unitholders (consistent with other Blue Owl Operating Group Units) may receive tax distributions on unvested units to cover a portion or all of such tax liabilities.

On February 5, 2025, the Company’s Board authorized the repurchase of up to $150.0 million of Class A Shares (the “2025 Program”). Under the 2025 Program, repurchases could be made from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. The timing and the actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including legal requirements, price and economic and market conditions. The 2025 Program may be changed, suspended or discontinued at any time and will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the purchase of all shares available under the 2025 Program and (ii) February 28, 2027. There were no repurchases made under the 2025 Program or any prior repurchase programs during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

Pursuant to the terms of the Company’s RSU awards, upon the vesting of RSUs to employees, the Company net settles awards to satisfy employee tax withholding obligations. In such instances, the Company cancels a number of RSUs equivalent in value to the amount of tax withholding payments that the Company is making on behalf of employees out of available cash.

In connection with certain Acquisitions, the Company agreed to deliver additional consideration to the sellers upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. See Note 3 for information regarding earnout arrangements related to the IPI Acquisition. See Note 1 and Note 3 to the financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report (as defined below) for additional information regarding earnout arrangements for certain other acquisitions.

From time to time, the Company exchanges Common Units and Class C Shares for an equal number of Class A Shares. As a result of these exchanges, the Company reallocates equity from noncontrolling interests to the Company’s additional paid-in capital and records additional deferred tax assets and tax receivable agreement (“TRA”) liability in connection with the exchanges. See the consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity for these amounts.
