senior secured revolving credit facility financial

"amendment, extension and upsize of its senior secured revolving credit facility"

A senior secured revolving credit facility is a multi‑use bank lending line that a company can draw, repay and redraw as needed, backed by specific assets and ranked first in repayment order if the company defaults. Think of it like a collateralized credit card that gives flexible short‑term cash while lenders hold priority to recover their money; investors watch it because it affects a company’s liquidity, borrowing cost, and who gets paid first in financial distress.

sofr financial

"The interest rate on the amended facility was reduced from SOFR plus 1.875%"

The Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) is a market benchmark that measures the cost of borrowing cash overnight using U.S. Treasury securities as collateral. Investors watch SOFR because it acts like a speedometer for short-term interest costs—affecting loan rates, bond yields and the pricing of interest-rate contracts—so movements change borrowing expenses, cash returns and the value of interest-sensitive investments.

borrowing base limitations financial

"subject to borrowing base limitations"

A borrowing base limitation is a cap a lender places on how much a borrower can borrow under a secured credit facility, based on the value of specified collateral (like accounts receivable or inventory) and rules about which assets qualify and at what percentage of their value. Think of it as a credit line tied to a changing pile of pledged assets; it matters to investors because it directly affects a company’s available short-term liquidity and its ability to draw funds without breaching lending terms.

business development company regulatory

"OCIC has elected to be regulated as a business development company"

A business development company is a publicly traded investment vehicle that lends to and buys stakes in smaller or privately held companies, acting like a combination of a lender, investor, and business partner. It matters to investors because BDCs offer the potential for higher regular income through dividends and diversified exposure to growing businesses, but they can also carry greater credit and liquidity risk than typical stocks or bonds—think higher-yielding but riskier income instruments.

Amends Revolving Credit Facility, Increasing Capacity, Extending Maturity and Improving Funding Costs and Completes $1.0 Billion Notes Offering

NEW YORK, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. ("OCIC") today announced the completion of a series of financing transactions that further enhance its capital structure, including the amendment, extension and upsize of its senior secured revolving credit facility in addition to a recently completed $1.0 billion notes offering. Together, these transactions represent approximately $1.3 billion of total debt capital raised since June 30, 2026.

The amendment and extension of the revolving credit facility increased capacity, extended the maturity and improved pricing. Total commitments to the amended facility increased to $4.2 billion from $3.9 billion, and the maturity was extended by approximately two years to September 2031 from October 2029. The interest rate on the amended facility was reduced from SOFR plus 1.875% to SOFR plus 1.650% to 1.775%, subject to borrowing base limitations. Every existing bank partner renewed its revolver commitment with a few lenders upsizing, providing incremental financing capacity of $300 million. The amendment closed on September 16, 2026.

In addition, earlier in September, OCIC completed a $1.0 billion notes offering composed of $700 million 6.250% notes due 2029 and an additional $300 million of its 6.550% notes due 2031. The additional 2031 notes are an add-on to $500 million of the same notes issued in June and increased the total principal amount outstanding of those notes to $800 million. The net proceeds were used in part to repay existing indebtedness and further optimize OCIC's liability structure.

"We are pleased to have completed a series of financing transactions that further strengthen our capital structure," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "The strong demand for our recent notes offering and support from our bank group, including upsized commitments from several lenders, reflect continued confidence in OCIC's portfolio and platform. Together, these transactions further enhance our liquidity and financial flexibility, positioning OCIC to capitalize on an increasingly attractive lending environment."
