Key Terms

5 terms

private placement financial

"today announced the closing of a private placement of $150 million"

A private placement is a sale of securities directly to a selected group of investors, typically institutions or accredited investors, instead of through a public offering. It lets a company raise money faster and with fewer regulatory steps; for existing shareholders it matters because the newly issued shares, often sold at a discount, increase the share count and can dilute their ownership.

senior unsecured notes financial

"$150 million aggregate principal amount of 7.60% senior unsecured notes"

Senior unsecured notes are a type of loan a company borrows from investors, promising to pay back with interest. They are called "unsecured" because they aren’t backed by specific assets like buildings or equipment, but "senior" because they are paid back before other debts if the company gets into trouble. Investors see them as a relatively safer way for companies to raise money.

special purpose vehicle facility financial

"raised $250 million through a special purpose vehicle facility"

A special purpose vehicle facility is a financing arrangement in which a bankruptcy‑remote legal entity (the special purpose vehicle, or SPV) is created to hold specific assets or contracts and to borrow or issue debt under a defined loan or credit facility. It matters to investors because the SPV keeps those assets and obligations separate from the sponsor—like putting a single project into its own locked box—so cash flows, credit risk and repayment are isolated and easier to assess.

revolving credit facility financial

"extended its $2.7 billion revolving credit facility"

A revolving credit facility is a type of loan that a business can borrow from whenever it needs money, up to a set limit. It’s like having a credit card for companies—allowing them to borrow, pay back, and borrow again as needed, providing flexibility for managing cash flow or funding short-term expenses.

non-accrual rates financial

"one of the lowest non-accrual rates in the BDC sector"

The non-accrual rate is the share of a lender’s loan portfolio on which the lender has stopped recognizing interest income because borrowers are late or unlikely to pay. It measures credit trouble like a red flag: higher non-accrual rates mean more loans are showing signs of default, so investors use it to gauge the quality and risk of a lender’s assets, similar to checking how many items in a store are marked damaged.

Third financing since June 30 brings total debt financing raised to $800 million, further strengthening OTF's liquidity and financial flexibility

NEW YORK, Sept. 4, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (NYSE: OTF) ("OTF") today announced the closing of a private placement of $150 million aggregate principal amount of 7.60% senior unsecured notes due September 3, 2032 (the "Notes").

This transaction marks OTF's third financing since June 30, 2026, bringing total debt capital raised during the period to $800 million. In August, OTF issued an additional $400 million of its 6.500% notes due 2029. OTF also raised $250 million through a special purpose vehicle facility secured by a pool of portfolio investments.

"OTF's portfolio continues to perform well, with one of the lowest non-accrual rates in the BDC sector, and we continue to see strong support from both debt investors and our bank partners," said Craig W. Packer, Chief Executive Officer. "We have raised $800 million of debt financing since quarter-end through unsecured notes and an SPV facility, which further strengthens and diversifies our funding base. This added flexibility positions us to grow the portfolio and capitalize on an increasingly attractive environment for technology investing while maintaining our underwriting discipline that has defined OTF's performance."

During the second quarter, OTF issued $500 million of its 6.500% notes due 2029, added $150 million of secured financing and extended its $2.7 billion revolving credit facility. Every existing bank partner renewed its revolver commitment, and OTF added a new lending relationship that provided incremental financing capacity. OTF ended the quarter with more than $2 billion of cash and available capacity across its credit facilities and repaid its notes due June 2026 at maturity.

The Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), or applicable state securities laws and were offered and sold in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. This press release does not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy the Notes or any other securities.
