Credit Facilities
The Company’s credit facilities contain customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by us of additional indebtedness and on our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, or redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock, upon the occurrence of certain events, and customary events of default (with customary cure and notice provisions).
Description of Facilities
Revolving Credit Facility
On August 26, 2022, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which amends and restates in its entirety that certain Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 2017 (as amended, restated, supplemented or otherwise modified prior to August 26, 2022). The parties to the Revolving Credit Facility include the Company, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (each a “Revolving Credit Lender” and collectively, the “Revolving Credit Lenders”) and Truist Bank, as Administrative Agent.
The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company in existence as of the closing date of the Revolving Credit Facility, and will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.
The maximum principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is $1.8 billion (decreased from $1.86 billion on April 4, 2023), subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the Company’s portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness. The amount available for borrowing under the Revolving Credit Facility is reduced by any standby letters of credit issued through the Revolving Credit Facility. Maximum capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility may be increased to $2.8 billion through the Company’s exercise of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Revolving Credit Facility includes a $200 million limit for swingline loans and is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility terminated on March 31, 2023, with respect to $60 million of commitments, and will terminate on September 3, 2024, with respect to $15 million of commitments (together, the "Non-Extending Commitments"), and on August 26, 2026, with respect to the remaining commitments (such remaining commitments, the "Extending Commitments") (together, the “Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date”). The Revolving Credit Facility will mature on September 3, 2025, with respect to $15 million of commitments, and on August 26, 2027, with respect to the remaining commitments (together, the “Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date”). During the period from the earliest Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date to the final Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.
The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Extending Commitments in U.S. dollars will bear interest at either (i) term SOFR plus any applicable credit adjustment spread plus margin of either 1.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 1.75% per annum or (ii) the alternative base rate plus margin of either 0.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 0.75% per annum. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Non-Extending Commitments in U.S. Dollars will bear interest at either (i) term SOFR plus any applicable credit adjustment spread plus margin of 2.00% per annum or (ii) the alternative base rate plus margin of 1.00% per annum. With respect to loans denominated in U.S. dollars, the Company may elect either term SOFR or the alternative base rate at the time of drawdown, and such loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Extending Commitments in other permitted currencies will bear interest at the relevant rate specified therein (including any applicable credit adjustment spread) plus margin of either 1.875% per annum or, if the gross borrowing base is greater than or equal to the product of 1.60 and the combined debt amount, 1.75% per annum. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility with respect to the Non-Extending Commitments in other permitted currencies will bear interest at the relevant rate specified therein (including any applicable credit adjustment spread) plus margin of 2.00% per annum. The Company will also pay a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility.
The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by the Company of additional indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to make distributions to the Company’s shareholders, or redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock, upon the occurrence of certain events and certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and other maintenance covenants, as well as customary events of default.

CLOs
CLO I
On May 28, 2019 (the “CLO I Closing Date”), the Company completed a $596 million term debt securitization transaction (the “CLO I Transaction”), also known as a collateralized loan obligation transaction, which is a form of secured financing incurred by the Company. The secured notes and preferred shares issued in the CLO I Transaction and the secured loan borrowed in the CLO I Transaction were issued and incurred, as applicable, by the Company’s consolidated subsidiaries Owl Rock CLO I, Ltd., an exempted company incorporated in the Cayman Islands with limited liability (the “CLO I Issuer”), and Owl Rock CLO I, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “CLO I Co-Issuer” and together with the CLO I Issuer, the “CLO I Issuers”) and are backed by a portfolio of collateral obligations consisting of middle market loans and participation interests in middle market loans as well as by other assets of the CLO I Issuer. The following describes the terms of the CLO I Transaction as supplemented through June 28, 2023 (the “CLO I Indenture Supplement Date”).
In the CLO I Transaction the CLO I Issuers (A) issued the following notes pursuant to an indenture and security agreement dated as of the CLO I Closing Date (as supplemented by the supplemental indenture dated as of the CLO I Indenture Supplement Date by and among the CLO I Issuer, the CLO I Co-Issuer and State Street Bank and Trust Company, the “CLO I Indenture”), by and among the CLO I Issuers and State Street Bank and Trust Company: (i) $242 million of AAA(sf) Class A Notes, which bear interest at term SOFR (plus a spread adjustment) plus 1.80%, (ii) $30 million of AAA(sf) Class A-F Notes, which bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.165%, and (iii) $68 million of AA(sf) Class B Notes, which bear interest at term SOFR (plus a spread adjustment) plus 2.70% (together, the “CLO I Notes”) and (B) borrowed $50 million under floating rate loans (the “Class A Loans” and together with the CLO I Notes, the “CLO I Debt”), which bear interest at term SOFR (plus a spread adjustment) plus 1.80%, under a credit agreement (the “CLO I Credit Agreement”), dated as of the CLO I Closing Date, by and among the CLO I Issuers, as borrowers, various financial institutions, as lenders, and State Street Bank and Trust Company, as collateral trustee and loan agent. The Class A Loans may be exchanged by the lenders for Class A Notes at any time, subject to certain conditions under the CLO I Credit Agreement and the CLO I Indenture. The CLO I Debt is scheduled to mature on May 20, 2031. The CLO I Notes were privately placed by Natixis Securities Americas, LLC and SG Americas Securities, LLC.
Concurrently with the issuance of the CLO I Notes and the borrowing under the Class A Loans, the CLO I Issuer issued approximately $206.1 million of subordinated securities in the form of 206,106 preferred shares at an issue price of U.S.$1,000 per share (the “CLO I Preferred Shares”). The CLO I Preferred Shares were issued by the CLO I Issuer as part of its issued share capital and are not secured by the collateral securing the CLO I Debt. The Company owns all of the CLO I Preferred Shares, and as such, these securities are eliminated in consolidation. The Company acts as retention holder in connection with the CLO I Transaction for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. and European Union regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such is required to retain a portion of the CLO I Preferred Shares.
The Adviser serves as collateral manager for the CLO I Issuer under a collateral management agreement dated as of the CLO I Closing Date. The Adviser is entitled to receive fees for providing these services. The Adviser has waived its right to receive such fees but may rescind such waiver at any time; provided, however, that if the Adviser rescinds such waiver, the management fee payable to the Adviser pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement will be offset by the amount of the collateral management fee attributable to the CLO I Issuers’ equity or notes owned by the Company.
The CLO I Debt is secured by all of the assets of the CLO I Issuer, which will consist primarily of middle market loans, participation interests in middle market loans, and related rights and the cash proceeds thereof. As part of the CLO I Transaction, ORCC Financing II LLC and the Company sold and contributed approximately $575 million par amount of middle market loans to the CLO I Issuer on the CLO I Closing Date. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of these sales and contributions. Such loans constituted the initial portfolio assets securing the CLO I Debt. The Company and ORCC Financing II LLC each made customary representations, warranties, and covenants to the CLO I Issuer regarding such sales and contributions under a loan sale agreement.
Through May 20, 2023, a portion of the proceeds received by the CLO I Issuer from the loans securing the CLO I Debt could be used by the CLO I Issuer to purchase additional middle market loans under the direction of the Adviser as the collateral manager for the CLO I Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investing strategy and ability to originate eligible middle market loans.
The CLO I Debt is the secured obligation of the CLO I Issuers, and the CLO I Indenture and the CLO I Credit Agreement include customary covenants and events of default. Assets pledged to holders of the CLO I Debt and the other secured parties under the CLO I Indenture will not be available to pay the debts of the Company.
The CLO I Notes were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. The CLO I Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities (e.g. “blue sky”) laws and, unless so registered, may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act as applicable.

The Company acts as retention holder in connection with the CLO VII Transaction for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. and European Union regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such is required to retain a portion of the CLO VII Preferred Shares.
As part of the CLO VII Transaction, the Company entered into a loan sale agreement with the CLO VII Issuer dated as of the CLO VII Closing Date, which provided for the sale and contribution of approximately $255.548 million par amount of middle market loans from the Company to the CLO VII Issuer on the CLO VII Closing Date and for future sales from the Company to the CLO VII Issuer on an ongoing basis. Such loans constituted part of the initial portfolio of assets securing the CLO VII Debt. The remainder of the initial portfolio assets securing the CLO VII Debt consisted of approximately $93.313 million par amount of middle market loans purchased by the CLO VII Issuer from ORCC Financing IV LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, under an additional loan sale agreement executed on the CLO VII Closing Date between the CLO VII Issuer and ORCC Financing IV LLC. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of these sales and contributions. The Company and ORCC Financing IV LLC each made customary representations, warranties, and covenants to the CLO VII Issuer under the applicable loan sale agreement.
Through July 20, 2025, a portion of the proceeds received by the CLO VII Issuer from the loans securing the CLO VII Debt may be used by the CLO VII Issuer to purchase additional middle market loans under the direction of the Adviser, in its capacity as collateral manager for the CLO VII Issuer and in accordance with the Company’s investing strategy and ability to originate eligible middle market loans.
The CLO VII Debt is the secured obligation of the CLO VII Issuer, and the CLO VII Indenture, the CLO VII A-L1 Credit Agreement and the CLO VII A-L2 Credit Agreement each include customary covenants and events of default. The CLO VII Secured Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities (e.g., “blue sky”) laws, and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or pursuant to an applicable exemption from such registration.
The Adviser will serve as collateral manager for the CLO VII Issuer under a collateral management agreement dated as of the CLO VII Closing Date.

Unsecured Notes
2023 Notes
On December 21, 2017, we entered into a Note Purchase Agreement governing the issuance of $150 million in aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes (the “2023 Notes”) to institutional investors in a private placement. The issuance of $138.5 million of the 2023 Notes occurred on December 21, 2017, and $11.5 million of the 2023 Notes were issued in January 2018. The 2023 Notes had a fixed interest rate of 4.75% and were due on June 21, 2023. Interest on the 2023 Notes was due and ranked semiannually. This interest rate was subject to increase (up to a maximum interest rate of 5.50%) in the event that, subject to certain exceptions, the 2023 Notes ceased to have an investment grade rating. We were obligated to offer to repay the 2023 Notes at par if certain change in control events occur. The 2023 Notes were our general unsecured obligations and ranked pari passu with all outstanding and future unsecured unsubordinated indebtedness issued by us.
The Note Purchase Agreement for the 2023 Notes contained customary terms and conditions for unsecured notes issued in a private placement, including, without limitation, affirmative and negative covenants such as information reporting, maintenance of our status as a BDC within the meaning of the 1940 Act and a RIC under the Code, minimum shareholders equity, minimum asset coverage ratio and prohibitions on certain fundamental changes at us or any subsidiary guarantor, as well as customary events of default with customary cure and notice, including, without limitation, nonpayment, misrepresentation in a material respect, breach of covenant, cross-default under other indebtedness of us or certain significant subsidiaries, certain judgments and orders, and certain events of bankruptcy.
The 2023 Notes were offered in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act. In connection with the offering of the 2023 Notes, on December 21, 2017, we entered into a centrally cleared interest rate swap. The notional amount of the interest rate swap was $150 million. We received fixed rate interest semi-annually at 4.75% and paid variable rate interest monthly based on 1-month LIBOR plus 2.545%. The interest rate swap matured on December 21, 2021, and therefore, for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, we did not make any periodic payments. The interest expense related to the 2023 Notes was equally offset by proceeds received from the interest rate swap. The swap adjusted interest expense is included as a component of interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Depending on the nature of the balance at period end, the fair value of the interest rate swap is either included as a component of accrued expenses and other liabilities or prepaid expenses and other assets on our Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The change in fair value of the interest rate swap is offset by the change in fair value of the 2023 Notes, with the remaining difference included as a component of interest expense on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
On November 23, 2021, we caused notice to be issued to the holders of the 2023 Notes regarding our exercise of the option to redeem in full all $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through, but excluding, the redemption date, December 23, 2021. On December 23, 2021, we redeemed in full all $150 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus the accrued and unpaid interest thereon through, but excluding, December 23, 2021.
