If Unsure of voting or does not want to vote along with the recommendation of the Board:

Would you like me to review the proposals with you? <After review, ask them if they would like to vote now over the phone>.

 

If the caller would like to review the proposals over the phone:

There are two proposals on the ballot.

 

The first proposal is to approve the Company’s entry into a new advisory agreement.

 

This request is a result of the recently announced business combination between Owl Rock Capital Group and Dyal Capital Partners. I would note that Owl Rock Capital Group is a different legal entity than ORTF. Owl Rock Capital Group is the parent entity of ORTF’s investment adviser.

 

The business combination between Owl Rock Capital Group and Dyal Capital Partners would result in what is called a Change in Control of the Adviser to ORTF.

 

This change of control would result in a termination of the current investment advisory agreement.

 

The Company would be replacing the current investment advisory agreement with a new agreement. The terms of this new agreement are identical to the terms of the existing agreement.

 

Your Board recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal. Would you like to vote along with the recommendation of the Board for all your accounts?

 

The second proposal is to adjourn and reconvene the meeting should ORTF need to solicit additional shareholder support to approve the agreement.

 

Your Board also recommends you vote “FOR” this proposal. Would you like to vote along with the recommendation of the Board for all your accounts for this proposal as well?

If the caller would like to better understand the previously announced business combination:

The business combination between Owl Rock Capital Group and Dyal Capital Partners was announced on December 23rd, 2020.

 

As a result of the business combination, Owl Rock and Dyal will combine with a special purpose acquisition corporation, or SPAC, called Altimar Acquisition Corporation to form Blue Owl Capital Inc., or Blue Owl.

 

Blue Owl will be an alternative asset management firm that will have over $45.0 billion in assets under management and will be publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange.

 

ORTF’s existing Adviser and Dyal will become indirect subsidiaries of Blue Owl.

 

If the caller would like to better understand the impact of the business combination on ORTF:

There will be no change to the investment strategy, team or process at ORTF as a result of the transaction.

 

The Adviser Change in Control is expected to provide benefits to ORTF into the future.

 

These benefits include: improved investment sourcing capabilities, increased pipeline of deal opportunities, expanded resources available to investing activity, and enhanced ability to attract and retain talent.

 

If not received/Requesting material to be re-mailed:

I can resend the proxy materials to you, or I can review the proposals with you and record your vote immediately by phone. <Pause for response>

 

After review, ask them if they would like to vote now over the phone:

Your Board recommends that you vote “FOR” the proposals. Would you like to vote along with the recommendations of the Board for all your accounts?

 

If they don’t want proposals reviewed:

Do you have an email address this can be sent to? <If yes, enter the email address in the notes and read it back phonetically to the shareholder.>

 

Thank you.  You should receive the proxy materials shortly and the materials will inform you of the methods available to cast your vote, one of which is to call us back at 855-200-8019.
