| Organization and Principal Business | Organization and Principal Business Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. (the “Company”) is a Maryland corporation formed on April 22, 2020. The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The Company was formed primarily to originate and make loans to, and make debt and equity investments in, U.S. middle market companies. Within this space, the Company predominantly focuses on investing in institutionally-backed, upper middle market businesses, which the Company categorizes as those that generate greater than $50 million of EBITDA annually. The Company invests in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities which include common and preferred stock, securities convertible into common stock, and warrants. The Company may make investments with shorter or longer maturities from time to time. The Company intends, under normal circumstances, to invest directly, or indirectly through its investments in OCIC SLF LLC (f/k/a Blue Owl Credit Income Senior Loan Fund LLC) (“OCIC SLF”) and Blue Owl Credit SLF LLC (“Credit SLF”) or any similarly situated companies, at least 80% of the value of its total assets in credit investments. The Company defines “credit” to mean debt investments made in exchange for regular interest payments. The target credit investments will typically have maturities between and ten years and generally range in size between $20 million and $500 million, although the investment size will vary with the size of the Company’s capital base. The Company may on occasion invest in smaller or larger companies if an attractive opportunity presents itself, especially when there are dislocations in the capital markets, including the high yield and large syndicated loan markets, which are often referred to as “junk” investments. The Company is an externally managed closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company, or BDC, under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). In addition, the Company is treated as a regulated investment company (a “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 as a RIC under the Code, the Company’s portfolio is subject to diversification and other requirements. In November 2020, the Company commenced operations and made its first portfolio company investment. On October 23, 2020, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, OR Lending IC LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds a California finance lenders license. OR Lending IC LLC makes 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 Credit Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) serves as the Company’s investment adviser. The Adviser is an indirect affiliate of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (NYSE: OWL) and part of Blue Owl’s Credit platform. The Adviser is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the “Advisers Act”). Blue Owl consists of three investment platforms: (1) Credit, which includes several strategies, including direct lending, alternative credit, investment grade credit, liquid credit and other adjacent investment strategies, (2) Real Assets, which focuses on three primary investment strategies: net lease, real estate credit and digital infrastructure, and (3) 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. 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. The Company received an exemptive order that permits it to offer multiple classes of shares of common stock and to impose varying sales loads, asset-based servicing and/or distribution fees and early withdrawal fees. On November 12, 2020, the Company commenced its initial public offering pursuant to which it offered, on a continuous basis, up to $2,500,000,000 in any combination of shares of Class S, Class D and Class I common stock. On February 14, 2022, the Company commenced its follow-on offering, pursuant to which it offered on a continuous basis, up to $13,500,000,000 in any combination of shares of Class S, Class D and Class I common stock. On December 6, 2024, the Company commenced its current offering, pursuant to which it is offering on a continuous basis, up to $14,000,000,000 in any combination of shares of Class S, Class D and Class I common stock. The share classes have different upfront selling commissions and ongoing servicing fees. Each class of common stock will be offered through Blue Owl Securities LLC (d/b/a Blue Owl Securities) (the “Dealer Manager” or “Blue Owl Securities”). The Dealer Manager is entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.50% of the offering price of each Class S share sold in the offering and 1.50% of the offering price of each Class D share sold. Class I shares are not subject to upfront selling commissions. Any upfront selling commissions for the Class S shares and Class D shares sold in the offering will be deducted from the purchase price. Class S, Class D and Class I shares were offered at initial purchase prices per shares of $10.35, $10.15 and $10.00, respectively. Currently, the purchase price per share for each class of common stock varies, but will not be sold at a price below the Company’s net asset value per share of such class, as determined in accordance with the Company’s share pricing policy, plus applicable upfront selling commissions. The Company also engages in private placement offerings of its common stock. Since meeting the minimum offering requirement and commencing its continuous public offering through March 31, 2026, the Company has issued 729,127,533 shares of Class S common stock, 106,367,824 shares of Class D common stock and 1,525,057,074 shares of Class I common stock, exclusive of any tender offers and shares issued pursuant to the Company’s distribution reinvestment plan, for gross proceeds of $6.90 billion, $0.99 billion and $14.34 billion, respectively, including one thousand U.S. dollars of seed capital contributed by its Adviser in September of 2020, $25.0 million in gross proceeds raised from an entity affiliated with the Adviser and 170,725,747 shares of Class I common stock issued in a private placement to feeder vehicles primarily created to hold the Company’s Class I shares for gross proceeds of approximately $1.61 billion.
