| Organization | Organization Blue Owl Capital Corporation (the “Company” or “OBDC”) is a Maryland corporation formed on October 15, 2015. 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’s investment strategy focuses on primarily originating and making loans to, and making 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, broadly syndicated loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities including 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 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, 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 April 27, 2016, the Company formed a wholly-owned subsidiary, OR Lending LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, which holds a California finance lenders license. OR Lending 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 registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), is an indirect affiliate of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”): OWL) and is part of Blue Owl’s Credit platform. Blue Owl consists of three investment platforms: •Credit, which includes several strategies, including (i) direct lending, which generally offers privately negotiated financing solutions to primarily upper-middle-market companies; (ii) alternative credit, which targets credit-oriented investments in markets underserved by traditional lenders or the broader capital markets, with deep expertise investing across specialty finance, private corporate credit and equipment leasing; (iii) investment grade credit, which focuses on generating capital-efficient investment income through asset-backed finance, private corporate credit, and structured products; (iv) liquid credit, which focuses on the management of CLOs; and (v) our other adjacent investment strategies (e.g., strategic equity and healthcare opportunities), •GP Strategic Capital, which primarily focuses on acquiring equity stakes in, and providing debt financing to, large, multi-product private equity and private credit firms through two investment strategies (GP minority stakes and GP debt financing), and also includes a professional sports minority stakes strategy), and •Real Assets, which includes a net lease strategy, which focuses on acquiring net-leased real estate occupied by investment grade and creditworthy tenants; a real estate credit strategy which offers a diverse range of competitive financing solutions; and digital infrastructure, which focuses on acquiring, financing, developing and operating data centers and related digital infrastructure assets. Since July 6, 2023, the Company’s common stock has traded on the NYSE under the symbol “OBDC.” On January 13, 2025, the Company consummated the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “OBDE Merger Agreement”) with Blue Owl Capital Corporation III, a Maryland corporation (“OBDE”), Cardinal Merger Sub Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“OBDE Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser, and Blue Owl Diversified Credit Advisors LLC (“ODCA”), a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to OBDE. In connection therewith, OBDE Merger Sub merged with and into OBDE, with OBDE continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company and, immediately thereafter, OBDE merged with and into the Company, with the Company continuing as the surviving company (together the “OBDE Mergers”). Refer to “Note 13 — Merger with Blue Owl Capital Corporation III” for further discussion of the OBDE Mergers.
