Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
Organization | Organization Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on July 12, 2018. The Company was formed primarily to originate and make loans to, and make debt and equity investments in, technology-related companies, specifically software companies, based primarily in the United States. The Company originates and invests in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans, and equity-related securities including common equity, warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity. The Company’s investment objective is to maximize total return by generating current income from its debt investments and other income producing securities, and capital appreciation from its equity and equity-linked investments. The Company intends to invest at least 80% of the value of its total assets in “technology-related” companies. The Company defines technology-related companies as those that (i) operate directly in the technology industry, which includes, but is not limited to, application software, systems software, healthcare technology, information technology, technology services and infrastructure, financial technology and internet and digital media, (ii) operate indirectly through their reliance on technology (i.e., utilizing scientific knowledge or technology-enabled techniques, skills, methods, devices or processes to deliver goods and/or services) or (iii) seek to grow through technological advancements and innovations. The Company invests in a broad range of companies with a focus on established enterprise software companies that are capitalizing on the large and growing demand for software products and services. The Company has elected to be regulated as a business development company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, for tax purposes, the Company is treated as a regulated investment company (“RIC”) under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Because the Company has elected to be regulated as a BDC and qualifies as a RIC under the Code, the Company’s portfolio is subject to diversification and other requirements. On September 24, 2018, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, OR Tech Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds a California finance lenders license. OR Tech Lending LLC originates loans to borrowers headquartered in California. From time to time the Company may form wholly-owned subsidiaries to facilitate the normal course of business. Blue Owl Technology Credit Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Company’s investment adviser, an indirect affiliate of Blue Owl Capital, Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (NYSE: OWL) and part of Blue Owl’s Credit platform, which includes several strategies, including direct lending, alternative credit, investment grade credit, liquid credit and other adjacent investment strategies. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”). Blue Owl consists of three product platforms: (1) Credit, (2) GP Strategic Capital, which primarily focuses on acquiring equity stakes in or providing debt financing to large multi-product private equity and private credit firms and (3) Real Assets, which primarily focuses on the strategies of net lease real estate, real estate credit and digital infrastructure, which focuses on acquiring, financing, developing and operating data centers and related digital infrastructure assets. Subject to the overall supervision of the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”), the Adviser manages the day-to-day operations of, and provides investment advisory and management services to, the Company. On August 10, 2018, the Company commenced its loan origination and investment activities contemporaneously with the initial drawdown from investors in the Company’s private offering. In September 2018, the Company made its first portfolio company investment. On March 24, 2025, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. II, a Maryland corporation (“OTF II”), Oriole Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser, and Blue Owl Technology Credit Advisors II LLC (“OTCA II”), a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to OTF II. In connection therewith, Merger Sub merged with and into OTF II, with OTF II continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Initial Merger”) and, immediately thereafter, OTF II merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”). Refer to Note 13. Merger with Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. II for further discussion of the Mergers. On June 12, 2025, the Company’s common stock was listed and began trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “OTF” (the “Exchange Listing”).
