Insights

Capital Markets Analyst

TL;DR: A partial lock-up waiver frees some shares on September 9, 2025, aiming to improve liquidity.

The waiver makes a defined tranche of restricted shares convertible to freely tradable common stock on September 9, 2025, which increases the supply of tradable shares on that date. This is a mechanical event: the document specifies timing and scope and does not change other lock-up tranches.

Dependencies and risks include the limited scope because the waiver "will have no effect" on shares under the Second or Third Lock-Up Periods, so only part of the restricted base is released. Monitor trading activity and volume around September 9, 2025 for realized liquidity changes and any price impact tied to the newly tradable tranche.

Item 8.01 Other Events

Waiver of Transfer Restrictions

On September 3, 2025, Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (NYSE: OTF) (the “Company”) issued a press release announcing that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) has waived the transfer restrictions (the “Transfer Restrictions”) contained in the Company’s second amended and restated articles of incorporation (the “Charter”) with respect to 46,513,271 shares of the Company’s common stock, effective as of September 9, 2025.

The Charter provides for three separate restricted periods as set forth below and initially applied to all of the Company’s shares that were acquired by shareholders prior to June 12, 2025 (the “Listing Date”), the date on which the Company’s shares were listed on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Listing”). Previously, in connection with the Listing, the Board waived the transfer restrictions with respect to 23,256,814 shares of the Company’s common stock and a pro rata portion of each shareholder’s shares of the Company’s common stock were released from each of the three separate restricted periods.

The three separate restricted periods are as follows:

• One period is 180 days after the Listing Date and applies to all shares of the Company’s common stock issued prior to the Listing Date (the “First Lock-Up Period”);

• One period is 270 days after the Listing and applies to two-thirds of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued prior to the Listing Date (the “Second Lock-Up Period”); and

• One period is 365 days after the Listing and applies to one-third of the shares of the Company’s common stock issued prior to the Listing Date (the “Third Lock-Up Period”).

As a result of the current waiver, approximately half of each shareholder’s shares of the Company’s common stock that would otherwise become freely tradeable upon expiration of the First Lock-Up Period will become freely tradeable on September 9, 2025. The current waiver will have no effect on the shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the Second Lock-Up Period or the Third Lock-Up Period. The Company’s management believes that the current waiver will enhance the liquidity of the Company’s common stock and provide investors with additional liquidity in a simple and streamlined way.
