Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Blue Owl Capital Corporation entered into a Tenth Supplemental Indenture covering a new $400,000,000 issue of 6.450% notes due September 15, 2028.

Insights

Blue Owl adds $400M fixed-rate 2028 notes, aiming to refinance revolver debt.

Blue Owl Capital Corporation issued $400,000,000 of 6.450% notes due 2028 under its existing Indenture. The notes are unsecured obligations, with semiannual interest and an issuer call option based on a make-whole formula or par, depending on redemption timing.

Net proceeds are earmarked to repay existing indebtedness, including the senior secured revolving credit facility, which currently bears SOFR- or base-rate-linked interest and matures between 2027 and 2029. This shifts a portion of funding toward longer-term fixed-rate debt while leaving overall leverage and future financing needs to be clarified in later disclosures.

"including its senior secured revolving credit facility (the “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.

A U.S. federal law that sets the rulebook for pooled investment vehicles such as mutual funds, exchange-traded funds and similar money managers, requiring them to register with regulators, disclose holdings and fees, limit conflicts of interest, and follow governance standards. It matters to investors because these protections and transparency rules act like a referee and scoreboard, helping people compare funds, trust that managers follow fair practices, and spot hidden costs or risks.

"effective shelf registration statement on Form N-2 (Registration No. 333 280593)"
A shelf registration statement is a document a company files with regulators that allows it to sell shares or bonds quickly when it’s a good time to raise money. It’s like having a pre-approved plan ready so the company can act fast without going through lengthy paperwork each time they want to sell, making fundraising more flexible.

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On April 16, 2026, Blue Owl Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and Deutsche Bank Trust Company Americas (the “Trustee”), entered into a Tenth Supplemental Indenture (the “Tenth Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2019, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture”, and together with the Tenth Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), relating to the Company’s $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.450% notes due 2028 (the “Notes”).
The Notes will mature on September 15, 2028. Prior to maturity, the Company may redeem the Notes at its option, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (1) (a) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the treasury rate plus 45 basis points less (b) interest accrued to the date of redemption, and (2) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus, in either case, accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the redemption date.
The Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.450% per year payable semiannually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, commencing on September 15, 2026. The Notes are direct, general unsecured obligations of the Company.
The Company expects to use the net proceeds of this offering to pay down its existing outstanding indebtedness, including its senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”). Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the commitments maturing on November 22, 2029 bear interest at either (i) term SOFR plus any applicable credit adjustment spread and an applicable margin of up to 1.775% (and 2.00% with respect to the commitments maturing on August 26, 2027) per annum or (ii) the “alternative base rate” (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facility) plus an applicable margin of up to 0.775% (and 1.00% with respect to the commitments maturing on August 26, 2027) per annum. The Revolving Credit Facility matures on August 26, 2027, with respect to $50 million of commitments and on November 22, 2029, with respect to the remaining commitments.
The Indenture contains certain covenants including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor provisions, but giving effect, in either case, to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.
In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade rating of the Notes by Fitch Ratings, Moody’s Investor Services, Inc. and S&P Global Ratings), the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase.
The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-280593) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated April 13, 2026, a final prospectus supplement dated April 13, 2026, and the pricing term sheet dated April 13, 2026.
