On December 20, 2024 (the "Revolving Credit Facility Third Amendment Date), the parties to the Revolving Credit Facility entered into an amendment to, among other things, extend the availability period and maturity date and make various other changes. The following describes the terms of the Revolving Credit Facility as modified through March 24, 2025.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain of the Company's subsidiaries in existence on the Revolving Credit Facility Third Amendment Date, and will be guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Company that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future (each a “Guarantor” and collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.
The Revolving Credit Facility provides for, on an aggregated basis, a total of outstanding term loans and revolving credit facility commitments in the principal amount of $2.57 billion, which is comprised of (a) a term loan in a principal amount of $100.0 million (increased from $75.0 million to $100.0 million on March 24, 2025) and (b) subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the Company’s portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness, a revolving credit facility in a principal amount of up to $2.47 billion (increased from $990.0 million to $1.27 billion on January 16, 2025 and increased from $1.27 billion to $2.47 billion on March 24, 2025 following the consummation of the Mergers). The amount available for borrowing under the revolving credit facility commitments of the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. Maximum capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to $3.83 billion through the Company's exercise of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a swingline loan limit of $400.0 million, and is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate on December 20, 2028 (the “Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date”) and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature on December 20, 2029 (the “Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date”). During the period from the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date to the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.
The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the commitments in U.S. dollars bear interest at either (i) term SOFR plus any applicable credit adjustment spread plus margin of either 1.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 1.75% per annum, or (ii) the alternative base rate plus a margin of either 0.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 0.75% per annum. With respect to loans denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may elect either term SOFR or the alternative base rate at the time of drawdown, and such loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the commitments in other permitted currencies will
bear interest at the relevant rate specified therein (including any applicable credit adjustment spread plus margin of either 1.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 1.75% per annum. Beginning on and after the Revolving Credit Facility Third Amendment Date, the Company also pays a fee of 0.350% on daily undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by the Company of additional indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders, or redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock, upon the occurrence of certain events and certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and liquidity and other maintenance covenants, as well as customary events of default. The Revolving Credit Facility requires a minimum asset coverage ratio with respect to the consolidated assets of the Company and its subsidiaries to senior securities that constitute indebtedness of no less than 1.50 to 1.00 at any time.
SPV Asset Facilities
Certain of the Company's wholly owned subsidiaries are parties to credit facilities (the “SPV Asset Facilities”). Pursuant to the SPV Asset Facilities, the Company sells and contributes certain investments to these wholly owned subsidiaries pursuant to sale and contribution agreements by and between the Company and the wholly owned subsidiaries. No gain or loss is recognized as a result of these contributions. Proceeds from the SPV Asset Facilities are used to finance the origination and acquisition of eligible assets by the wholly owned subsidiary, including the purchase of such assets from the Company. The Company retains a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired to the wholly owned subsidiary through the Company’s ownership of the wholly owned subsidiary. The SPV Asset Facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of these wholly owned subsidiaries and on any payments received by such wholly owned subsidiaries in respect of those assets.

Debt Securitization Transactions
The Company incurs secured financing through debt securitization transactions which are also known as collateralized loan obligation transactions (the “CLO Transactions”) issued by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries (the “CLO Issuers”), which are backed by a portfolio of collateral obligations consisting of middle-market loans and participation interests in middle-market loans as well as by other assets of the CLO Issuers. The CLO Issuers issue preferred shares which are not secured by the collateral securing the CLO Transactions which the Company purchases. The Company acts as retention holder in connection with the CLO Transactions for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. and European Union regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such is required to retain a portion of a CLO Issuer’s preferred shares. Notes issued by CLO Issuers have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities (e.g., “blue sky”) laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration. The Adviser serves as collateral manager for the CLO Issuers under a collateral management agreement. The Adviser is entitled to receive fees for providing these services. The Adviser routinely waives its right to receive such fees but may rescind such waiver at any time; provided, however, that if the Adviser rescinds such waiver, the management fee payable to Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement will be offset by the amount of the collateral management fee attributable to a CLO Issuer’s equity or notes owned by the Company. Assets pledged to debt holders of the CLO Transactions and the other secured parties under each CLO Transaction’s documentation will not be available to pay the debts of the Company. The Company consolidates the financial statements of the CLO Issuers in its consolidated financial statements.
CLO 2020-1
On December 16, 2020 (the “CLO 2020-1 Closing Date”), the Company completed a $333.5 million term debt securitization transaction (the “CLO 2020-1 Transaction”). The secured notes and preferred shares issued in the CLO 2020-1 Transaction were issued by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries Owl Rock Technology Financing 2020-1, an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “CLO 2020-1 Issuer”), and Owl Rock Technology Financing 2020-1 LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “CLO 2020-1 Co-Issuer” and together with the CLO 2020-1 Issuer, the “CLO 2020-1 Issuers”).
The CLO 2020-1 Transaction was executed by the issuance of the following classes of notes and preferred shares pursuant to an indenture and security agreement dated as of the Closing Date (the “CLO 2020-1 Indenture”), by and among the CLO 2020-1 Issuers and State Street Bank and Trust Company: $200 million of A (sf) Class A Notes, which bore interest at term SOFR (plus a spread adjustment) plus 2.95% (the “CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes”). The CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes are secured by the middle-market loans, recurring revenue loans, participation interests in middle-market loans and recurring revenue loans and other assets of the Issuer. The CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes are scheduled to mature on the Payment Date (as defined in the CLO 2020-1 Indenture) in January 2031.
The CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes were offered by MUFG Securities Americas Inc., as initial purchaser, from time to time in individually negotiated transactions.
The CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes were redeemed in the CLO 2020-1 Refinancing, described below.
Concurrently with the issuance of the CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes, the CLO 2020-1 Issuer issued approximately $133.5 million of subordinated securities in the form of 133,500 preferred shares at an issue price of $1,000 per share (the “CLO 2020-1 Preferred Shares”).
As part of the CLO 2020-1 Transaction, the Company entered into a loan sale agreement with the CLO 2020-1 Issuer dated as of the Closing Date, which provided for the sale and contribution of approximately $243.4 million par amount of middle-market loans and recurring revenue loans from the Company to the CLO 2020-1 Issuer on the Closing Date and for future sales from the Company to the CLO 2020-1 Issuer on an ongoing basis. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of these sales and contributions. Such loans constituted part of the initial portfolio of assets securing the CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes. The Company made customary representations, warranties, and covenants to the CLO 2020-1 Issuer under the loan sale agreement.
Through January 15, 2022, the net proceeds of the issuing of the CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes not used to purchase the initial portfolio of loans securing the CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes and a portion of the proceeds received by the CLO 2020-1 Issuer from the loans securing the CLO 2020-1 Secured Notes were able to be used by the CLO 2020-1 Issuer to purchase additional middle-market loans and recurring revenue loans under the direction of the Adviser, in its capacity as collateral manager for the CLO 2020-1 Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investing strategy and ability to originate eligible middle-market loans and recurring revenue loans.

all the April 2029 Notes outstanding, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the April 2029 Indenture (as defined below).
The April 2029 Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture (the “OTF II Base Indenture”) and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of April 4, 2024 (the “April 2029 First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the OTF II Base Indenture, the “April 2029 Indenture”), between OTF II and the Trustee. The April 2029 Notes will mature on April 4, 2029, unless repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The April 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.750% per year payable semi-annually on April 4 and October 4 of each year, commencing on October 4, 2024. Concurrent with the issuance of the April 2029 Notes, OTF II entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “April 2029 Notes Registration Rights Agreement”) for the benefit of the purchasers of the April 2029 Notes. Pursuant to the April 2029 Notes Registration Rights Agreement, OTF II filed a registration statement with the SEC and, on December 23, 2024, commenced an offer to exchange the notes initially issued on April 4, 2024 for newly issued registered notes with substantially similar terms, which expired on January 24, 2025 and was completed promptly thereafter.
The April 2029 Notes are the Company’s direct, general unsecured obligations and rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness or other obligations that are expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the April 2029 Notes. The April 2029 Notes rank pari passu, or equal, in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness or other obligations that are not so subordinated, or junior to the April 2029 Notes. The April 2029 Notes rank effectively subordinated, or junior, to any of the Company’s future secured indebtedness or other obligations (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The April 2029 Notes are structurally subordinated, or junior, to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities.
The April 2029 Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) of the 1940 Act, as modified by Section 61(a) of the 1940 Act, for the period of time during which the April 2029 Notes are outstanding, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the April 2029 Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Exchange Act. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the OTF II Indenture.
In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the OTF II Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the April 2029 Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the April 2029 Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the April 2029 Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
In connection with the issuance of the April 2029 Notes, on April 4, 2024 OTF II entered into a bilateral interest rate swap. The notional amount of the interest rate swap is $700.0 million. The Company will receive fixed rate interest at 6.750% and pay variable rate interest based on SOFR plus 2.565%. The interest rate swap matures on March 4, 2029. For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, the Company made periodic payments of $1.6 million. The interest expense related to the April 2029 Notes is equally offset by the proceeds received from the interest rate swap. The swap adjusted interest expense is included as a component of interest expense on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2025, the interest rate swap had a fair value of $15.7 million. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities or prepaid expenses and other assets on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by the change in fair value of the April 2029 Notes, with the remaining difference included as a component of interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
