Exhibit 99.1

 

Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. (“OCIC”, “the Fund”) October 2026 Shareholder UpdateDear valued shareholder, Thank you for your ongoing support for OCIC. We are grateful for the trust that you have placed with us. As stewards of your capital, we are committed to keeping you updated on the Fund’s recent developments. On September 30, 2026, OCIC’s share repurchase window closed and the Fund received an estimated third-quarter total repurchase request of $3.1 billion, or 16.8%1 of shares outstanding as of June 30, 2026. Estimated third-quarter tender demand was down from $3.6 billion, or 18.8%, in the prior quarter and $4.2 billion, or 21.9%, in the first quarter when demand peaked. We believe this continued improvement was supported by OCIC’s strong year-to-date performance2 and resilient portfolio fundamentals amid this year’s market volatility. OCIC will fulfill its 5% tender offer on a pro rata basis3, approximately 30% of total shares tendered, consistent with our commitment to balancing the interests of both tendering and remaining shareholders. Following the third-quarter tender payment, OCIC will have provided shareholders with $2.8 billion of liquidity within six months, fulfilling approximately 60% of shareholders’ original tender requests since the first quarter of 2026.1,4 Shareholder retention remained strong, with over 90% of OCIC’s 90,000 shareholders remaining fully invested.5 Additionally, new tender participation remained limited, with the vast majority of requests representing resubmissions of previously unfulfilled tenders. As of August 31, 2026, OCIC has delivered a strong 4.0% year-to-date total return for Class I shareholders, outperforming industry peers.2,6 Since inception in March 2021, OCIC has generated an attractive 9.2% annualized total return for Class I shareholders, meaningfully outperforming public credit indices.2,7,8,9 Income remains an important driver of OCIC’s returns, supported by strong credit quality and an attractive rate environment. Since August 2023, OCIC has paid monthly base distributions of $0.0701 per share, which its Board has also declared through November 2026.10 This represented a 9.2% annualized distribution rate for OCIC Class I, as of August 31, 2026.10Credit quality has remained resilient in 2026, with no new issuers on non-accrual11, supported by strong borrower fundamentals. As of June 30, 2026, OCIC had limited non-accruals at just 0.2% of fair value11 and an average annual net loss of only 15 cents for every $100 invested since inception.12 By comparison, a senior secured middle market loan index reported a net credit loss of 27 cents over the closest comparable period.12,13 OCIC’s portfolio companies continue to perform well, growing year-over-year in revenue and EBITDA by mid-to-high single-digits.14 As a reminder, our portfolio companies are predominantly large, market leading businesses across non-cyclical sectors, backed by well-resourced sponsors, with a weighted-average of $1.3 billion in revenue and $299 million in EBITDA.14,15With substantial available liquidity, OCIC remains well positioned to fulfill tender offers without selling private loans. As of August 31, 2026, OCIC had $11.2 billion of available liquidity16 relative to the $0.9 billion third-quarter tender offer, representing more than 12 times the tender offer. Financing transactions completed in September further increased available liquidity by $1.3 billion.17 Following the satisfaction of the third-quarter tender offer, OCIC has ample dry powder to potentially capitalize on today’s improved market environment.Since the beginning of the year, we have observed wider spreads and improved terms that can be accretive to portfolio earnings over time. As of August 31, 2026, OCIC had a net leverage of 0.88x, below its target range of 0.90x to 1.25x, providing capacity to deploy into both new investments and existing borrowers to support their continued growth. Looking ahead, the rate environment has improved meaningfully following the Federal Reserve’s 25 basis points rate hike in mid-September and the potential for another increase by year-end.18,19 With 98% of its debt portfolio in floating-rate loans, we believe OCIC is well positioned to benefit from this rate environment as higher base rates can support portfolio yields and earnings power.20 We remain focused on providing liquidity to tendering shareholders and capturing opportunities that can generate meaningful value for remaining investors. Thank you for your continued confidence and partnership. Craig W.

1. The preliminary tender request results included herein are based on preliminary information, are subject to adjustment and should not be regarded as final. OCIC expects to announce the final results of its tender offer at a later date.2. As of August 31, 2026. Past performance is not a guarantee of future results. Returns are compounded monthly. Total return is calculated as the change in monthly NAV (assuming any dividends and distributions, net of shareholder servicing fees, are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan), if any, divided by the beginning NAV. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Returns reflect reinvestments of distributions and the deduction of ongoing expenses that are borne by investors, such as management fees, incentive fees, servicing fees, interest expense, offering costs, professional fees, director fees and other general and administrative expenses. An investment in the Company is subject to a maximum upfront sales load (Class S: 3.5%, Class D: 1.5%, Class I: No sales load) which will reduce the amount of capital available for investment. Operating expenses may vary in the future based on the amount of capital raised, the Adviser’s election to continue expense support, and other unpredictable variables. Total returns based on the max upfront fee load for an investor starting at the inception of the respective share class, which for Class S is April 1, 2021 and for Class D and Class I are March 1, 2021. Class I does not have upfront fees.Class S (With Max Sales Load): -2.28% (1-mo), -1.44% (3-mo), -0.15% (YTD), 1.85% (1-yr), 7.32% (3-yr), 7.67% (5-yr), 7.62% (ITD)Class S (No Sales Load): 1.14% (1-mo), 2.01% (3-mo), 3.34% (YTD), 5.41% (1-yr), 8.56% (3-yr), 8.41% (5-yr), 8.31% (ITD)Class D (With Max Sales Load): -0.30% (1-mo), 0.65% (3-mo), 2.22% (YTD), 4.47% (1-yr), 8.65% (3-yr), 8.77% (5-yr), 8.64% (ITD)Class D (No Sales Load): 1.19% (1-mo), 2.16% (3-mo), 3.75% (YTD), 6.04% (1-yr), 9.19% (3-yr), 9.10% (5-yr), 8.93% (ITD)Class I (No Sales Load): 1.32% (1-mo), 2.22% (3-mo), 4.03% (YTD), 6.40% (1-yr), 9.49% (3-yr), 9.38% (5-yr), 9.23% (ITD)3. Pursuant to the terms of the tender offer. 4. In Q1’26, OCIC shareholders validly tendered 21.9% of 12/31/25 aggregate shares outstanding and OCIC fulfilled 5% on a pro rata basis, representing 22.8% of each shareholder’s tender request. In Q2’26, OCIC shareholders validly tendered 18.8% of 3/31/26 aggregate shares outstanding and OCIC fulfilled 5% on a pro rata basis, representing 26.6% of each shareholder’s tender request. In Q3’26, OCIC shareholders tendered approximately 16.8% of 6/30/26 aggregate shares outstanding and OCIC fulfilled 5% on a pro rata basis, representing approximately 60% of each shareholder’s tender request. In aggregate, a shareholder who participated in all three quarterly tender offers this year would have received the first-quarter fill rate plus the second-quarter fill rate on any shares resubmitted from the first-quarter tender offer plus the third-quarter fill rate on any shares resubmitted from the second-quarter tender offer.5. All shareholder-level statistics reflect OCIC shareholders only. Does not include underlying shareholders in feeder funds that invest in OCIC.6. Peer group selection was based on The Stanger Report’s Q2’26 Non-Listed BDC Edition and includes non-traded BDCs with investment portfolios greater than $5bn in aggregate NAV. Peer group consists of BCRED, HLEND, ASIF, and ADS. Returns are derived from publicly available data and calculated as the change in NAV per share, plus total distributions paid during the period, divided by beginning NAV per share. Year-to-date returns from December 31, 2025 through August 31, 2026 for the peer group’s Class I shares were as follows: BCRED (+1.5%), HLEND (+3.4%), ASIF (+3.5%), ADS (+3.6%).7. Source: Bloomberg.

(“OCIC”) may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital, offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements. The annualized distribution rate shown is calculated by multiplying the September distribution per share declared (payable on or before October 30, 2026) by twelve and dividing the result by the August 31, 2026 NAV per share. The annualized distribution rate shown may be rounded and is presented net of applicable servicing fees (Class I: no servicing fee; Class D: 0.25%; Class S: 0.85%). The payment of future distributions is subject to the discretion of OCIC’s board of directors and applicable legal restrictions. Accordingly, there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any future distributions, and distributions may be reduced, suspended, or eliminated at any time. For further information, please see OCIC’s filings with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission at www.sec.gov. Annualized distribution rate: Class I: 9.20%, Class D: 8.98%, Class S: 8.40%.11. As of June 30, 2026. Non-accrual rate represents the fair value of investments on non-accrual status divided by the fair value of the total portfolio. Loans are generally placed on non-accrual when there is reasonable doubt that principal or interest will be collected in full, at which time accrued interest is typically reversed. Loans may return to accrual status when amounts are brought current and are expected to remain current, subject to management judgment.12. As of June 30, 2026. Average annual net gain/loss rate is calculated by averaging the ‘annual total net realized gain/loss rate’ since the Fund’s inception through 2Q26. ‘Annual total net realized gain/loss rate’ is defined as the total net realized gain or loss for a given year, divided by the average quarterly investments at amortized cost for that year. Results are calculated at the portfolio level and do not reflect the deduction of management fees, incentive fees, financing costs, or expenses. This metric reflects realized activity only and does not include unrealized gains or losses; it is not a measure of total return.13.

An investment in Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. (“OCIC”) is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment, as well as substantial fees and costs, all of which can impact an investor’s return. The following are some of the risks involved in an investment in OCIC’s common shares; however, an investor should carefully consider the fees and expenses and information found in the “Risk Factors” section of the OCIC prospectus before deciding to invest: You should not expect to be able to sell your shares regardless of how OCIC performs. If you are able to sell your shares, you likely will receive less than your purchase price. OCIC does not intend to list its shares on any securities exchange and does not expect a secondary market in its shares to develop. OCIC has implemented a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conduct quarterly repurchases of a limited number of outstanding shares of its common stock. OCIC’s board of directors has complete discretion to determine whether OCIC will engage in any share repurchase, and if so, the terms of such repurchase. OCIC’s share repurchase program will include numerous restrictions that limit your ability to sell your shares. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each month. While OCIC intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers as described above, it is not required to do so and may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. You should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an indefinite period of time. The incentive fees payable by OCIC to Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC (the “Adviser”) may create an incentive for the Adviser to pursue investments that are riskier or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangement. An investment in shares of OCIC’s common stock is not suitable for you if you need access to the money you invest. Because you will be unable to sell your shares, you will be unable to reduce your exposure in any market downturn. Distributions on OCIC’s common stock may exceed OCIC’s taxable earnings and profits. Therefore, portions of the distributions that OCIC pays may represent a return of capital to you for U.S. federal tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of a portion of your original investment in shares of OCIC’s common stock. As a result, a return of capital will (i) lower your adjusted tax basis in your shares and thereby increase the amount of capital gain (or decrease the amount of capital loss) realized upon a subsequent sale or redemption of such shares, and (ii) reduce the amount of funds OCIC has for investment in portfolio companies. OCIC has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use offering proceeds to fund distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed. Distributions also may be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from (i) the waiver of certain investment advisory fees, that will not be subject to repayment to the Adviser and/or (ii) the deferral of certain investment advisory fees that may be subject to repayment to the Adviser and/or (iii) the reimbursement of certain operating expenses, that will be subject to repayment to the Adviser and its affiliates. Significant portions of distributions may not be based on investment performance. In the event distributions are funded from waivers and/or deferrals of fees and reimbursements by OCIC’s affiliates, such funding may not continue in the future. If OCIC’s affiliates do not agree to reimburse certain of its operating expenses or waive certain of their advisory fees, then significant portions of OCIC’s distributions may come from sources other than cash flows from operations. The repayment of any amounts owed to OCIC’s affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.
