The Company consolidates VIEs for which Oaktree is the primary beneficiary. VIEs include funds managed by Oaktree and CLOs for which Oaktree acts as collateral manager. The purpose of these VIEs is to provide investment opportunities for investors in exchange for management fees and, in certain cases, performance-based fees. While the investment strategies of the funds and CLOs differ by product, in general the fundamental risks of the funds and CLOs have similar characteristics, including loss of invested capital and reduction or absence of management and performance-based fees. As general partner or collateral manager, respectively, Oaktree generally considers itself the sponsor of the applicable fund or CLO. The Company does not provide performance guarantees and, other than capital commitments, has no financial obligation to provide funding to VIEs.

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company consolidated 2 VIEs through which interests are held in Oaktree Opportunities Fund XI, LP and Oaktree Opportunities Fund XII, L.P. as the Company was the primary beneficiary.

As of March 31, 2025, the assets and liabilities of the 2 consolidated VIEs amounted to $5.6 billion and $1.7 billion, respectively. The assets of these consolidated VIEs primarily consisted of investments in debt and equity

securities. The assets of these VIEs may be used only to settle obligations of the same VIE. In addition, there is no recourse to the Company for the VIEs’ liabilities. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s investments in consolidated VIEs had a carrying value of $0.8 billion, which represented its maximum risk of loss as of that date.

The Company held variable interests in certain VIEs in the form of direct equity interests that are not consolidated because it is not the primary beneficiary, inasmuch as its fee arrangements are considered at-market and it does not hold interests in those entities that are considered more than insignificant.

The carrying value of the Company’s investments in VIEs that were not consolidated are shown below.


	Carrying Value as of
	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024

The Company continues to consolidate the respective vehicles through which interests are held in Oaktree Opportunities Fund XI, L.P. and Oaktree Opportunities Fund XII, L.P. as the Company remains the primary beneficiary.
