We may be prohibited under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) from participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our directors who are not interested persons, and in some cases, the prior approval of the SEC. We, the Adviser and certain of our affiliates were granted an order for exemptive relief that permitted co-investing with our affiliates subject to various approvals of the Board and other conditions. On May 6, 2025, we, the Adviser and certain of our affiliates were granted a new order for exemptive relief that superseded the prior order for exemptive relief (the “Order”) by the SEC for us to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser or certain affiliates, in a manner consistent with the our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Pursuant to such Order, we are generally permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates if such co-investments are done on the same terms and at the same time, as further detailed in the Order. The Order requires that a “required majority” (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Board make certain findings (1) in most instances when we co-invests with our affiliates in an issuer where our affiliate has an existing investment in the issuer, and (2) if we dispose of an asset acquired in a transaction under the Order unless the disposition is done on a pro rata basis. Pursuant to the Order, the Board will oversee our participation in the co-investment program. As required by the Order, we have adopted, and the Board has approved, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the terms of the Order, and the Adviser and our Chief Compliance Officer will provide reporting to the Board.

Pursuant to the Order, the Board oversees our participation in the co-investment program. As required by the Order, we have adopted, and the Board, including a required majority of the Independent Directors, has approved, policies and procedures reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the conditions of the Order.

Our investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on originating and making loans to, and making debt and equity investments in, U.S. middle-market companies. Since our Adviser and its affiliates began investment activities in April 2016 through September 30, 2025, our Adviser and its affiliates have originated $174.72 billion aggregate principal amount of investments, of which $170.63 billion of aggregate principal amount of investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments, was retained by either us or a corporation or fund advised by our Adviser or its affiliates. We seek to participate in transactions sponsored by what we believe to be high-quality private equity and venture capital firms capable of providing both operational and financial resources. We seek to generate current income primarily in U.S. middle-market companies, both sponsored and non-sponsored, through direct originations of senior secured loans or originations of unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans, broadly syndicated loans and, to a lesser extent, investments in equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity. Except for our specialty financing company investments, our equity investments are typically not control-oriented investments and we may structure such equity investments to include provisions protecting our rights as a minority-interest holder.

In general, we define “middle-market companies” to mean companies with earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or “EBITDA,” between $25 million and $500 million annually and/or annual revenue of $125 million to $5 billion. Within this space, we predominantly focus on investing in upper middle market businesses, where we can structure larger transactions, which we believe to be more resilient and of greater strategic significance. We categorize “upper middle market” companies as those generating $50 million or more of EBITDA annually. We may invest in smaller or larger companies if an attractive opportunity presents itself, especially when there are dislocations in the capital markets, including the high yield and syndicated loan markets. We note that over time, the average EBITDA of companies in our portfolio has grown significantly as the scale of private market solutions has grown. Across our investments, we typically seek to be senior in the capital structure, targeting a loan-to-value ratio (the amount of outstanding debt as a percentage of the value of the company) of 50% or below on average, which may provide a level of downside protection and help preserve capital.

We expect that our portfolio composition will be comprised predominantly of directly originated debt and income producing securities, with a lesser allocation to equity or equity-linked opportunities which we may hold directly or through special purpose vehicles. In addition, we may invest a portion of our portfolio in opportunistic investments and publicly traded debt investments and we may evaluate and enter into strategic portfolio transactions that may result in additional portfolio companies that we are considered to control. These types of investments are intended to supplement our core strategy and further enhance returns to our shareholders. These investments may include high-yield bonds and broadly-syndicated loans, including “covenant light” loans (as defined below), and other publicly traded debt instruments, typically originated and structured by banks on behalf of large corporate borrowers with employee counts, revenues, EBITDAs and enterprise values larger than those of middle market companies, and equity investments in portfolio companies that make senior secured loans or invest in broadly syndicated loans, structured products, asset-based solutions or other forms of specialty finance, which may include, but is not limited to, investments such as life settlement, royalty interests and equipment finance.

Secular Trends Supporting Growth for Private Credit. We believe that periods of market volatility, such as the current period of market volatility caused, in part, by uncertainty regarding inflation and interest rates, and current geopolitical conditions, have accentuated the advantages of private credit. The availability of capital in the liquid credit market is highly sensitive to market conditions whereas we believe private lending has proven to be a stable and reliable source of capital through periods of volatility. We believe the opportunity set for private credit will continue to expand even as the public markets remain open. Financial sponsors and companies today are familiar with direct lending and have seen firsthand the strong value proposition that a private solution can offer. Scale, certainty of execution and flexibility all provide borrowers with a compelling alternative to the syndicated loan and high yield markets. Based on our experience, larger, higher quality credits that have traditionally been issuers in the syndicated and high yield markets are increasingly seeking private solutions independent of credit market conditions. In our view, this is supported by financial sponsors wanting to work with collaborative financing partners that have scale and breadth of capabilities. This has driven substantial growth in direct lending portfolio companies over time. Given the dynamics mentioned above, we believe this trend is poised to continue and that the large amount of uninvested capital held by funds of private equity firms broadly, estimated by Preqin Ltd., an alternative assets industry data and research company, to be $2.6 trillion as of December 31, 2024, will continue to serve as a tailwind to the space

Attractive Opportunities in Investments in Loans. We invest in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities. We believe that opportunities in senior secured loans are significant because of the floating rate structure of most senior secured debt issuances and because of the strong defensive characteristics of these types of investments. We believe that debt issues with floating interest rates offer a superior return profile as compared with fixed-rate investments, since floating rate structures are generally less susceptible to declines in value experienced by fixed-rate securities in a rising interest rate environment. Senior secured debt also provides strong defensive characteristics. Senior secured debt has priority in payment among an issuer’s security holders whereby holders are due to receive payment before junior creditors and equity holders. Further, these investments are secured by the issuer’s assets, which may provide protection in the event of a default.

We also continue to leverage the expanding role that private lenders are being asked to play in the broader credit markets to evaluate cross-platform opportunities including strategic equity and accretive joint venture investments that have cash flow and credit profiles that provide consistent income. We continue to invest in Blue Owl Credit SLF LLC (“Credit SLF”) and specialty financing portfolio companies, including Wingspire Capital Holdings LLC (“Wingspire”), Fifth Season Investments LLC (“Fifth Season”), LSI Financing 1 DAC (“LSI Financing DAC”), LSI Financing LLC (“LSI Financing LLC”), AAM Series 1.1 Rail and Domestic Intermodal Feeder, LLC and AAM Series 2.1 Aviation Feeder, LLC (collectively, “Amergin AssetCo”) and Blue Owl Cross-Strategy Opportunities LLC (“BOCSO”). We formed Blue Owl Leasing LLC (“Blue Owl Leasing”), a cross-platform joint venture intended to invest in equipment leases and in the future we may invest through other cross-platform investment vehicles.

We view these companies as a complement to our lending strategy and expect them to help offset rate and spread volatility and support net asset value growth. These companies have strong underlying diversification and generate predictable income streams.

Our platform continues to find attractive investment opportunities for deployment, predominantly in first lien originations to large borrowers.

We continue to focus on investing in upper middle-market businesses in non-cyclical industries we view as recession resistant and that we are familiar with, including defensive service-oriented sectors that provide intangible mission-critical solutions and products such as healthcare, business services, technology and insurance brokerage. These companies have diversified revenue streams, strong recurring cash flow profiles and healthy liquidity.

Our borrowers have a weighted average EBITDA of approximately $229 million (up from approximately $115 million in 2021) and average revenue of approximately $1 billion (up from approximately $500 million in 2021) and we believe this scale contributes to the durability of our borrowers and their ability to adapt to different economic environments. In addition, Blue Owl’s direct lending strategy continues to invest in, and is often the lead lender or administrative agent on, transactions in excess of $1 billion in size, which gives us the ability to structure the terms of such deals to maximize deal economics and credit protection and provide customized flexible solutions. The average hold size of Blue Owl’s direct lending strategy’s new investments is approximately $350 million (up from approximately $200 million in 2021) and average total new deal size is approximately $1.5 billion (up from approximately $600 million in 2021).
