As a result, the Notes will be effectively subordinated, or junior, to any secured indebtedness or other obligations we or our subsidiaries have currently incurred and may incur in the future (or any indebtedness that is initially unsecured that we later secure) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. Substantially all of our assets are currently pledged as collateral under the Revolving Credit Facility, and substantially all of the assets of our subsidiaries are also pledged. In any liquidation, dissolution, bankruptcy or other similar proceeding, the holders of any of our existing or future secured indebtedness and the secured indebtedness of our subsidiaries may assert rights against the assets pledged to secure that indebtedness in order to receive full payment of their indebtedness before the assets may be used to pay other creditors, including the holders of the Notes. Secured indebtedness is effectively senior to the Notes to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. As of June 30, 2026, our total indebtedness was approximately $7.2 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding, of which approximately $1.6 billion was outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility, which is secured by our assets and, therefore, will be effectively senior to the Notes.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">The Notes will be structurally subordinated to the indebtedness and other liabilities of our subsidiaries.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The Notes are obligations exclusively of Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. and not of any of our subsidiaries.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">None of our subsidiaries are a guarantor of the Notes and the Notes are not required to be guaranteed by any subsidiaries we may acquire or create in the future. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority over our equity interests in such subsidiaries (and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the Notes) with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries. Even if we are recognized as a creditor of one or more of our subsidiaries, our claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interests in the assets of any such subsidiary and to any indebtedness or other liabilities of any such subsidiary senior to our claims. Consequently, the Notes will be structurally subordinated, or junior, to the SPV Asset Facilities, the OTF CLOs and all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations (including trade payables) incurred by any of our subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities and any subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities that we may in the future acquire or establish. As of June 30, 2026, our subsidiaries had $3.0 billion of indebtedness outstanding under the SPV Asset Facilities and the OTF CLOs; in addition, our subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in the future, all of which would be structurally senior to the Notes.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-style:italic;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Our current indebtedness could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations under the Notes and our other debt.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">As of June 30, 2026, our total consolidated indebtedness was approximately $7.2 billion in aggregate principal amount outstanding, of which approximately $4.6 billion was indebtedness secured by our assets or assets of our subsidiaries and approximately $2.6 billion in aggregate principal amount was unsecured indebtedness.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The use of debt could have significant consequences on our future operations, including:</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">•</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">making it more difficult for us to meet our payment and other obligations under the Notes and our other outstanding indebtedness;</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">•</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">resulting in an event of default if we fail to comply with the financial and other restrictive covenants contained in our debt agreements, which event of default could result in substantially all of our debt becoming immediately due and payable;</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">•</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund investments, acquisitions and other general corporate purposes, and limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for these purposes;</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">•</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our indebtedness with variable interest rates; and</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;padding-left:36pt;text-indent:-18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">•</span><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%;padding-left:14.5pt">limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, and increasing our vulnerability to, changes in our business, the industry in which we operate and the general economy.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Any of the above-listed factors could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations and our ability to meet our payment obligations under the Notes and our other debt.</span></div><div style="margin-bottom:9pt;text-indent:18pt"><span style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our ability to meet our payment and other obligations under our debt instruments depends on our ability to generate significant cash flow in the future.
