Dear Shareholder:
You are cordially invited to attend the special meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Owl Rock Capital Corporation (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) to be held on March 17, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast.
Only holders of common stock of the Company (“Shareholders”) of record at the close of business on January 15, 2021 are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof.
Background
Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC, the investment adviser to the Company (the “Adviser”) and an indirect subsidiary of Owl Rock Capital Partners LP (“Owl Rock Capital Partners”), has advised the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) that Owl Rock Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Owl Rock”) have entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Neuberger Berman Group LLC (“Neuberger”) and Altimar Acquisition Corporation (“Altimar”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of HPS Investments Partners, LLC. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, Owl Rock and Dyal Capital Partners (“Dyal”), a division of Neuberger, will combine with Altimar to form Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”), an alternative asset management firm that will have over $45.0 billion in assets under management. If the transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transaction”) is consummated, Blue Owl will be a publicly-traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The Transaction, if consummated, will result in an indirect change of control of the Adviser (the “Adviser Change in Control”).
Consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control will result in an assignment and subsequent termination of the current amended and restated investment advisory agreement, dated March 31, 2020, between the Company and the Adviser (including all amendments thereto, the “Existing Advisory Agreement”) in accordance with the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As a result, Shareholders are being asked to approve the Company’s entry into an amended and restated investment advisory agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “New Advisory Agreement”), pursuant to which the Adviser will continue to act as the investment adviser of the Company.
Although the indirect ownership of the Adviser will change in connection with the completion of the Adviser Change in Control, it is important to note that management of the Adviser is not changing, nor are the terms of the advisory agreement between the Adviser and the Company. The continuity and enhancements provided by the Adviser Change in Control are as follows:

The terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement.

There will be no change to the investment objectives and strategies of the Company.
 

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

There will be no change to the investment advisory services provided to the Company and the executive officers and employees of the Adviser and Owl Rock who provide services to the Company will remain the same.

The Adviser’s investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) is not expected to change as a result of the Adviser Change in Control.

There will be no change to the Adviser’s investment team (the “Investment Team”) that currently provides services to the Company. The Investment Team will continue to be focused on direct lending.

The Adviser’s investment process and investment resources provided to the Company will not change.

Following the consummation of the Transaction, the investment management businesses of Owl Rock and Dyal will be under common control through Blue Owl, which the Adviser and the Board believe will lead to a number of benefits for the Company, including, (i) the potential for enhanced investment sourcing capabilities as a result of the combination of the Adviser’s and Dyal’s relationships with the alternative asset management community, (ii) increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and its relationships with the financial sponsor community and service providers and an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, (iii) attendant benefits to the investing process, including enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and (iv) enhanced ability for the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, each at no additional cost to the Company.
The 1940 Act requires the New Advisory Agreement to be approved by both a majority of the Company’s “non-interested” directors and “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Company, as such terms are defined under the 1940 Act. The Board, including all of its non-interested directors, has unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement and believes it to be in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. If approved by the required majority of Shareholders, the New Advisory Agreement will become effective upon the closing of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, which are expected to occur during the first half of 2021. This proposal is explained more fully in the accompanying proxy statement.
The Investment Team and all members of the Adviser’s Investment Committee are expected to maintain their current responsibilities in connection with the Transaction and the Adviser Change in Control. However, the Adviser Change in Control is structured to comply with the “safe harbor” included in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, which requires, among other things, that during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of an investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. The Board is expected to meet this requirement at the time of the consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control. As a result, following the Adviser Change in Control, at least 75% of the Board will be non-interested directors.
In evaluating the New Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and received, information and materials regarding Owl Rock, the Adviser, Altimar, Dyal, Neuberger and their respective affiliates. The Board believes that the Company and its shareholders will benefit from the combination of Owl Rock and Dyal. In particular, the Board believes that as a result of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, the Company will benefit from (i) the potential for enhanced investment sourcing capabilities as a result of the combination of the Adviser’s and Dyal’s relationships with the alternative asset management community, (ii) increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and its relationships with the financial sponsor community and service providers and an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, (iii) attendant benefits to the investing process, including enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and (iv) enhanced ability for the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, each at no additional cost to the Company.
The Transaction and resulting Adviser Change in Control are expected to close during the first half of 2021.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
The following questions and answers address some commonly asked questions regarding the Adviser Change in Control (as defined herein) and the Special Meeting. These questions and answers may not address all of the questions that are important to you. We encourage you to read carefully the more detailed information contained elsewhere in this Proxy Statement and the appendix to this Proxy Statement.
Why did you send me this Proxy Statement and what am I being asked to vote on?
We sent this Proxy Statement and the enclosed proxy card to you because the Board is soliciting your proxy to vote at the Special Meeting. Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC, the investment adviser to the Company (the “Adviser”) and an indirect subsidiary of Owl Rock Capital Partners LP (“Owl Rock Capital Partners”), has advised the Board that Owl Rock Capital Partners and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Owl Rock”) have entered into a Business Combination Agreement (the “Business Combination Agreement”) with Neuberger Berman Group LLC (“Neuberger”) and Altimar Acquisition Corporation (“Altimar”), a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of HPS Investments Partners, LLC, pursuant to which Altimar, Owl Rock and Dyal Capital Partners (“Dyal”), a division of Neuberger, will combine to form Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”), an alternative asset management firm that will have over $45.0 billion in assets under management. If the transaction contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement (the “Transaction”) is consummated, Blue Owl will be a publicly-traded company listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”).
In connection with the Transaction, Blue Owl will indirectly acquire the Adviser along with other operating subsidiaries of Owl Rock Capital Partners that are engaged in the business of sponsoring, offering and managing of Owl Rock-branded investment products. Blue Owl will also acquire the business and operations related to Dyal’s sponsoring, offering and managing of alternative investment funds.
Owl Rock Capital Partners is controlled by its principals, Douglas I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz, Craig W. Packer and Alan J. Kirshenbaum (the “Owl Rock Principals”), who currently are, indirectly, the sole controlling persons of the Adviser. Immediately following completion of the Transaction, Blue Owl will have issued and outstanding five classes of common stock, which will be owned by a combination of public and institutional shareholders and previous equity holders and owners of Owl Rock and Dyal. The Owl Rock Principals and the principals of Dyal, as a group, will own (directly or indirectly) 100% of a class of common stock of Blue Owl that will represent, on a fully-diluted basis, 90% of the voting power of all of Blue Owl’s capital stock. Consequently, the Adviser, which will be an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl, is expected to have new indirect controlling persons, resulting in a change of control of the Adviser (the “Adviser Change in Control”) and an assignment and subsequent termination of the Company’s current amended and restated investment advisory agreement, dated March 31, 2020 (including all amendments thereto, the “Existing Advisory Agreement”).
The primary purpose for the Special Meeting is to consider the approval of an amended and restated investment advisory agreement (the “New Advisory Agreement”) between the Company and the Adviser in connection with the Adviser Change in Control, as more fully described in the this Proxy Statement (the “New Advisory Agreement Proposal”). Approval of the New Advisory Agreement will allow the Adviser to continue to provide services to the Company without interruption following the Adviser Change in Control. The terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement. Following the Adviser Change in Control, there will be no change to the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser to the Company and the Adviser’s investment process will not change.
Shareholders are also being asked to approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies (the “Adjournment Proposal”).
The record date for the determination of Shareholders of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), entitled to notice of and to vote at the Special Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof, is the close of business on January 15, 2021 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, approximately 389,966,688 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

What is the date of the Special Meeting and where will it be held?
The Special Meeting will be held on March 17, 2021 at 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time. The Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast. You will be able to attend the Special Meeting online and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORCC2021SM. See “The Special Meeting” beginning on page 11 for more information.
Who can vote at the Special Meeting?
Shareholders as of the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Special Meeting, or any adjournment(s) or postponement(s) thereof. See “The Special Meeting” beginning on page 11 for more information.
What is the quorum required for the Special Meeting?
The presence at the Special Meeting, virtually or represented by proxy, of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Special Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum of Shareholders. A quorum is required for us to take action at the Special Meeting. The shares of Common Stock that are present at the Special Meeting or represented by a proxy will be counted for quorum purposes. Proxies submitted with abstentions will be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present. Broker non-votes are not entitled to vote with respect to the proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement and, therefore, will be treated as not present at the Special Meeting and will not be counted for quorum purposes. See “The Special Meeting” beginning on page 11 for more information.
Why are Shareholders being asked to vote on the New Advisory Agreement?
Shareholders are being asked to approve the New Advisory Agreement as a result of the Adviser Change in Control upon closing of the Transaction. Section 15(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”) provides that any investment management contract terminates automatically upon on its “assignment.” Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act provides that the transfer of a controlling interest of an investment adviser, such as will be caused by the Adviser Change in Control, constitutes an “assignment.”
The 1940 Act requires the New Advisory Agreement to be approved by both a majority of the Company’s “non-interested” directors and “a majority of the outstanding voting securities” of the Company, as such terms are defined under the 1940 Act, in order for it to become effective.
After being advised of the potential Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, at the telephonic meeting of the Board held on December 16, 2020, members of the Board met with senior management of Owl Rock, representatives of Dyal and counsel, and members of the Board were given the opportunity to discuss and ask questions regarding the potential Transaction and Adviser Change in Control and the New Advisory Agreement. At the December 17, 2020 telephonic meeting of the Board, the Board, including all of the “non-interested” ​(i.e., independent) directors, unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement (assuming that Owl Rock entered into the Business Combination Agreement and the Transaction is consummated), which agreement would become effective only upon consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, and recommended that the New Advisory Agreement Proposal and Adjournment Proposal be submitted to Shareholders for approval at the Special Meeting.
As described in this Proxy Statement, the terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical tothe terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for the term which will be two years from the effective date of the New Advisory Agreement, and renew for successive annual periods unless earlier terminated and so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in accordance with the 1940 Act.
The Board has approved the New Advisory Agreement and has recommended that Shareholders vote “FOR” the New Advisory Agreement.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Why are Shareholders being asked to vote on the Adjournment Proposal?
While the Chairman of the Special Meeting may adjourn the Special Meeting in his or her discretion under the terms of the Company’s bylaws, Shareholders are also being asked to approve the Adjournment Proposal in order to allow the Company to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the New Advisory Agreement.
What are the benefits of the New Advisory Agreement and the Transaction to the Company and its Shareholders?
In evaluating the New Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and received, information and materials regarding Owl Rock, the Adviser, Altimar, Dyal, Neuberger and their respective affiliates. The Board believes that the Company and its shareholders will benefit from the combination of Owl Rock and Dyal. In particular, the Board believes that as a result of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, the Company will benefit from (i) the potential for enhanced investment sourcing capabilities as a result of the combination of the Adviser’s and Dyal’s relationships with the alternative asset management community, (ii) increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and its relationships with the financial sponsor community and service providers and an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, (iii) attendant benefits to the investing process, including enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and (iv) enhanced ability for the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, each at no additional cost to the Company.
Will senior management of the Adviser change in connection with the Adviser Change in Control?
No. Although ownership of the Adviser is changing, the executive officers and employees of the Adviser and Owl Rock who provide services to the Company will remain the same. Owl Rock’s senior leadership will continue as senior leadership of Blue Owl.
Will the composition of the Adviser’s investment committee change in connection with the Adviser Change in Control?
No. The Adviser’s investment committee (the “Investment Committee”) currently consists of Douglas I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz, Craig W. Packer and Alexis Maged. Following the Adviser Change in Control, the composition of the Investment Committee is not expected to change.
Will the Adviser Change in Control affect the Company’s investment objectives and strategy?
No. We do not expect any change in the Company’s investment policies or strategies in connection with the Adviser Change in Control. The Company’s investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The Adviser will continue to focus the Company’s investment activities on debt and equity investments in U.S. middle-market companies, including senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity.
Will the ManagementFee payable by the Company change under the New Advisory Agreement?
No, the base management fee (the “Management Fee”) payable under the Existing Advisory Agreement and under the New Advisory Agreement is the same. The Management Fee is payable at an annual rate of (x) 1.50% of the Company’s average gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that is above an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act and (y) 1.00% of the Company’s average gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that is below an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Section 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, in each case, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters. For purposes of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, the term “gross assets” means the Company’s total assets determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
Will the Incentive Fees payable by the Company change under the New Advisory Agreement?
No, the incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) payable under the Existing Advisory Agreement and under the New Advisory Agreement is the same. The Incentive Fee consists of two components that are independent of each other, with the result that one component may be payable even if the other is not. A portion of the Incentive Fee is based on the Company’s income and a portion is based on the Company’s capital gains, each as described below.
The portion of the Incentive Fee based on income is determined and paid quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following July 18, 2019, the date of the Company’s listing on the New York Stock Exchange (the “Listing Date”), and equals 100% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly “hurdle rate,” until the Adviser has received 17.5% of the total pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter and, for pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of 1.82% quarterly, 17.5% of all remaining pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter. The 100% “catch-up” provision for pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of the 1.5% “hurdle rate” is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee of 17.5% on all pre-Incentive Fee net investment income when that amount equals 1.82% in a calendar quarter (7.27% annualized), which is the rate at which catch-up is achieved. Once the “hurdle rate” is reached and catch-up is achieved, 17.5% of any pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of 1.82% in any calendar quarter is payable to the Adviser.
The second component of the Incentive Fee, the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee,” payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, equals 17.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from July 18, 2019, the Listing Date, to the end of each calendar year, less cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the Listing Date to the end of each calendar year, less the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fee for prior periods. Consistent with the Existing Advisory Agreement, in no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement be in excess of the amount permitted by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended (the “Advisers Act”), including Section 205 thereof.
In connection with the Adviser Change in Control, will the Company enter into a new administration agreement with the Adviser?
Yes. At the December 17, 2020 telephonic meeting, the Board, including all of the non-interested directors, unanimously approved an amended and restated administration agreement between the Company and the Adviser (the “New Administration Agreement”), which agreement would become effective only upon consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control. The terms of the New Administration Agreement, including the reimbursement of expenses by the Company to the Adviser, are identical to the terms of the Company’s current administration agreement with the Adviser (the “Existing Administration Agreement”). The New Administration Agreement will become effective upon the closing of the Transaction.
As with the Existing Administration Agreement, under the New Administration Agreement the Adviser will perform, or oversee the performance of, administrative services for the Company, which includes, but is not limited to, providing office space, equipment and office services, maintaining financial records, preparing reports to Shareholders and reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), managing the payment of expenses and the performance of administrative and professional services rendered by others, which could include employees of the Adviser or its affiliates. The Company will reimburse the Adviser for services performed for it pursuant to the terms of the New Administration Agreement. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the New Administration Agreement, the Adviser may delegate its obligations under the New Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and we will reimburse the Adviser for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party.
Are there any additional arrangements associated with the Adviser Change in Control?
Yes. The Adviser Change in Control is structured to comply with the “safe harbor” included in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act at the closing of the Adviser Change in Control. Section 15(f) provides that when a sale of securities or any other interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any

of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. These conditions are as follows:

First, during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must not be “interested persons,” as such term is defined in the 1940 Act, of the investment adviser or predecessor adviser. The Board is expected to meet this requirement at the time of the consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control. As a result, following the Adviser Change in Control, at least 75% of the Board will be non-interested directors; and

Second, an “unfair burden” must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any of its applicable express or implied terms, conditions or understandings. The term “unfair burden,” as defined in the 1940 Act, includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company).
What are the conditions to the consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control?
The consummation of the Adviser Change in Control is subject to certain terms and conditions, including, among others: (i) approval of the New Advisory Agreement by the Shareholders; and (ii) compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, including the requirement that at least 75% of the Board is comprised of non-interested Directors.
In addition to approval of the New Advisory Agreement by the Shareholders and compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act, the consummation of the Transaction is subject to certain additional terms and conditions, including, among others: (i) the approval of new advisory agreements by the shareholders of other business development companies managed by the Adviser or its affiliates, (ii) the approval of Altimar’s shareholders, (iii) certain approvals of the limited partners or advisory committees of other Owl Rock- and Dyal-managed funds and investment vehicles, (iv) conditions relating to the bring-down of certain covenants, representations and warranties in the Business Combination Agreement (including covenants relating to compliance with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act), (v) the continued employment of certain key principals of Owl Rock and Dyal, and (vi) the receipt of required regulatory and other approvals.
If each of the terms and conditions is satisfied or waived, the closing of the Transaction, and therefore the Adviser Change in Control, are expected to occur during the first half of 2021.
Will the Company’s name change?
No. The Company’s name will not change in connection with the Adviser Change in Control.
Will the Company continue to be a publicly traded business development company (“BDC”) after the consummation of the Adviser Change in Control?
Yes. After the consummation of the Adviser Change in Control, the Company will continue to be a BDC and its shares of Common Stock will continue to be listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”). The Shareholders will continue to own the same amount and type of shares in the same Company.
What vote is required to approve the New Advisory Agreement?
Approval of the New Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of at least a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting if the

holders of more than 50% of the voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities.
What vote is required to approve the Adjournment Proposal?
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter.
What are the effects of abstentions and broker non-votes on either of the Proposals?
A broker non-vote occurs when a bank, broker or other nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner votes on some matters on the proxy card, but not on others, because the bank, broker or other nominee does not have instructions from the beneficial owner or discretionary authority (or declines to exercise discretionary authority) with respect to those other matters. We do not, however, expect to receive any broker non-votes at the Special Meeting because there are no routine proposals to be voted on at the Special Meeting. For this reason, it is imperative that Shareholders vote or provide instructions to their bank, broker or other nominee as to how to vote.
Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the New Advisory Agreement Proposal. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Adjournment Proposal and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote for the Adjournment Proposal.
Proxies submitted with abstentions will, however, be counted in determining whether or not a quorum is present.
What happens if Shareholders do not approve the New Advisory Agreement?
The closing of the Transaction is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the New Advisory Agreement by Shareholders at the Special Meeting. If the New Advisory Agreement is not approved by the Shareholders, then the Transaction will not close, the resulting Adviser Change in Control will not occur, and the Existing Advisory Agreement will remain in place.

The Company will be hosting the Special Meeting live via audio webcast. Any Shareholder can attend the Special Meeting live online at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/ORCC2021SM.

What if I want to change my vote or revoke my proxy?
A registered Shareholder may change his, her or its vote, or revoke his, her or its proxy at any time before it is voted at the Special Meeting by:

signing another proxy card with a later date and returning it to the Company prior to the Special Meeting;

submitting a new proxy electronically over the internet or by telephone as indicated on the proxy card after the date of the earlier submitted proxy;

delivering a written notice of revocation to the Company; or

attending the Special Meeting and voting.
If you hold your shares of Common Stock in “street name,” you should contact your bank, broker or other nominee for instructions regarding how to change your vote. You may also vote virtually at the Special Meeting if you obtain a “legal proxy” from your bank, broker or other nominee.
Are thereany expenses to be borne by the Company associated with soliciting the Shareholder vote?
No. The Adviser will bear all costs of soliciting proxies for the Special Meeting.
Where can I find the voting results?
Voting results will be reported in a Current Report on Form 8-K, which the Company will file with the SEC within four business days following the Special Meeting. All reports that the Company files with the SEC are publicly available when filed. For more information, please see the section of this Proxy Statement captioned “Available Information” on page 26.
If my shares are held in “street name” by my bank, broker or other nominee, will my bank, broker or other nominee vote my shares for me?
Your bank, broker or other nominee will only be permitted to vote your shares held in street name if you instruct them how to vote. You should follow the procedures on the voting instruction card provided by your bank, broker or other nominee regarding the voting of your shares. The failure to instruct your bank, broker or other nominee how to vote your shares will have the same effect as voting “AGAINST” the New Advisory Agreement Proposal.
What does it mean if I receive more than one proxy card?
If your shares are registered differently or in more than one account, you will receive more than one proxy card. Please sign and return all proxy cards to ensure that all of your shares are voted.

The Special Meeting will be a completely virtual meeting, which will be conducted via live webcast. Only holders of record of Common Stock at the close of business on January 15, 2021, which is the Record Date, will be entitled to vote at the Special Meeting. At the close of business on the Record Date, we had 389,966,688 shares of Common Stock outstanding and entitled to vote. This Proxy Statement is first being sent or made available to Shareholders on or about [• ], 2021.
All proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions contained therein. Unless contrary instructions are specified, if a proxy is properly executed and received by the Company (and not revoked) prior to the Special Meeting, the shares of Common Stock represented by the proxy will be voted (1) FOR the approval of the New Advisory Agreement, and (2) FOR the approval of the Adjournment Proposal. Should any matter not described above be properly presented at the Special Meeting, the named proxies will vote in accordance with their best judgment as permitted.
Voting Rights
Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each share of Common Stock held as of the Record Date.
The Special Meeting is being held for the following purposes:
1.
To approve the Company’s entry into the New Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser, pursuant to which the Adviser will continue to provide investment advisory and management services to the Company following the Adviser Change in Control with no changes to terms; and
2.
To approve the adjournment of the Special Meeting, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the New Advisory Agreement.
Quorum and Adjournment
A quorum must be present at the Special Meeting for any business to be conducted. A majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock must be present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting in order to have a quorum. If you have properly voted by proxy via internet or mail, you will be considered part of the quorum. We will count “abstain” votes as present for the purpose of establishing a quorum for the transaction of business at the Special Meeting. The shares of Common Stock that are present at the Special Meeting or represented by a proxy will be counted for quorum purposes. Abstentions will be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. If a Shareholder holds shares in a “street name” through a broker, bank or other nominee and does not provide voting instructions to such broker, bank or other nominee with respect to any of the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting, such shares will not be treated as shares present for quorum purposes. If a beneficial owner provides voting instructions to its broker, bank or other nominee holding its shares of Common Stock on its behalf with respect to any of the proposals to be considered at the Special Meeting, the shares of Common Stock will be treated as present for quorum purposes. If a quorum is not present at the Special Meeting, the Chairman may adjourn the Special Meeting until a quorum is present.
Shareholders Holding Shares Through Brokers, Banks or Other Nominees
Brokers, banks and other nominees have discretionary authority to vote on “routine” matters, but not on “non-routine” matters. All proposals being considered at this Special Meeting are non-routine. If you hold shares of Common Stock through a broker, bank or other nominee, you must follow the voting instructions you receive from your broker, bank or other nominee. If you do not provide your broker, bank or other nominee who holds such shares of record with specific instructions regarding how to vote on the proposals, your broker may not be permitted to vote your shares on either of the proposals. If you hold shares of Common Stock through a broker, bank or other nominee and want to vote virtually at the Special Meeting, you must obtain a legal proxy from the record holder of your shares and present it at the Special Meeting. Please instruct your broker, bank or other nominee so your vote can be counted.

PROPOSAL 1: APPROVAL OF THE NEW ADVISORY AGREEMENT
General
Shareholders are being asked to consider and vote on a proposal to approve the New Advisory Agreement between the Company and the Adviser. At a telephonic meeting of the Board held on December 17, 2020, the Board, including all of the Company’s directors who are not “interested persons” of the Company, the Adviser, or any of their respective affiliates, as defined in the 1940 Act (“Independent Directors”), unanimously voted to approve the New Advisory Agreement, which agreement would become effective only upon consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, subject to the approval of Shareholders, and determined that the New Advisory Agreement is in the best interests of the Company and its Shareholders. The Board then recommended that Shareholders vote to approve the New Advisory Agreement.
As discussed in greater detail below, the terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the day-to-day management of the Adviser and the investment objectives and strategies of the Company will not change as a result of Adviser Change in Control or the Company’s entry into the New Advisory Agreement. The New Advisory Agreement, attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement, is marked to show changes against the Existing Advisory Agreement.
Summary of the Transaction and the Resulting Adviser Change in Control; Reasons for the New Advisory Agreement
The Adviser has advised the Board that Owl Rock has entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Neuberger and Altimar, pursuant to which Owl Rock and Dyal, a division of Neuberger, will combine to form Blue Owl, an alternative asset management firm. If the Transaction is consummated, Blue Owl will be a publicly-traded company listed on the NYSE.
Dyal seeks to acquire minority equity stakes in and provide financing to established alternative asset managers. With over a decade of experience transacting with institutional financial firms, Dyal has completed over 50 equity and debt transactions and manages approximately $23.3 billion in aggregate capital commitments as of November 30, 2020.
Altimar is a publicly-traded special purpose acquisition company sponsored by an affiliate of HPS Investments Partners, LLC. Altimar consummated its initial public offering on October 27, 2020 and was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination.
In connection with the consummation of the Transaction, Blue Owl will indirectly acquire the Adviser along with other operating subsidiaries of Owl Rock Capital Partners that are engaged in the business of sponsoring, offering and managing of Owl Rock-branded investment products. Blue Owl will also acquire the business and operations related to Dyal’s sponsoring, offering and managing of alternative investment funds. The Adviser, which will be an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl, is expected to have new indirect controlling persons, resulting in the Adviser Change in Control.
Consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control would, pursuant to Section 2(a)(4) of the 1940 Act, result in an “assignment” of the Existing Advisory Agreement. Section 15(a) of the 1940 Act provides that any investment management contract terminates automatically upon its “assignment.” As a result, Shareholders are being asked to approve the Company’s entry into the New Advisory Agreement, pursuant to which the Adviser will continue to act as the investment adviser of the Company, because this approval is required by the 1940 Act. If the New Advisory Agreement is not approved by Shareholders, then the Transaction will not close, the resulting Adviser Change in Control will not occur, and the Existing Advisory Agreement will remain in place.
About the Adviser
The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act and serves as the Company’s investment adviser pursuant to the Existing Advisory Agreement. The Adviser also serves as our Administrator pursuant to the Existing Administration Agreement. The Adviser is an indirect subsidiary of

Owl Rock Capital Partners. Owl Rock Capital Partnersis led by its three co-founders, Douglas I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz and Craig W. Packer. The Adviser’s investment team is also led by Douglas I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz and Craig W. Packer and is supported by certain members of the Adviser’s senior executive team and the investment committee (the “Investment Committee”). The Investment Committee is comprised of Douglas I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz, Craig W. Packer and Alexis Maged. Subject to the overall supervision of the Board, the Adviser manages our day-to-day operations, and provides investment advisory and management services to us.
The Adviser is affiliated with Owl Rock Technology Advisors LLC (“ORTA”), Owl Rock Private Fund Advisors LLC (“ORPFA”) and Owl Rock Diversified Advisors LLC (“ORDA” and together with the Adviser, ORTA and ORPFA, the “Owl Rock Advisors”). As of September 30, 2020, the Owl Rock Advisors managed $23.7 billion in AUM. The Owl Rock Advisors focus on direct lending to middle market companies primarily in the United States under the following four investment strategies:
Strategy
Funds
Asset Under Management
Diversified Lending. The Owl Rock Advisors primarily originate and make loans to, and make debt and equity investments in, U.S. middle market companies The Owl Rock Advisors invest in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity. The investment objective of the funds with this investment strategy is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. The diversified lending strategy is managed through four BDCs: the Company, Owl Rock Capital Corporation II (“ORCC II”), Owl Rock Capital Corporation III (“ORCC III”) and Owl Rock Core Income Corp. (“ORCIC”). As of September 30, 2020, the Owl Rock Advisors have $15.2 billion of assets under management across these products.
Technology Lending. The Owl Rock Advisors are focused primarily on originating and making debt and equity investments in technology-related companies based primarily in the United States. The Owl Rock Advisors originate and invest in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans, and equity-related securities including common equity, warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity. The investment objective of the funds with this investment strategy is to maximize total return by generating current income from debt investments and other income producing securities, and capital appreciation from equity and equity-linked investments. The technology lending strategy is managed through Owl Rock Technology Finance Corp. (“ORTF” and together with the Company, ORCC II, ORCC III and ORCIC, the “Owl Rock BDCs”), a BDC. As of September 30, 2020, the Owl Rock Advisors have $4.5 billion of assets under management across these products.

Strategy
Funds
Asset Under Management
First Lien Lending. The Owl Rock Advisors seek to realize significant current income with an emphasis on preservation of capital primarily through originating primary transactions in and, to a lesser extent, secondary transactions of first lien senior secured loans in or related to middle market businesses based primarily in the United States. The first lien lending strategy is managed through private funds and separately managed accounts (the “First Lien Funds”). As of September 30, 2020, the Owl Rock Advisors have $2.9 billion of assets under management across these products.
Opportunistic Lending. The Owl Rock Advisors intend to make opportunistic investments in U.S. middle-market companies by providing a variety of approaches to financing, including but not limited to originating and/or investing in secured debt, unsecured debt, mezzanine debt, other subordinated debt, interests senior to common equity, as well as equity securities (or rights to acquire equity securities) which may or may not be acquired in connection with a debt financing transaction, and doing any and all things necessary, convenient or incidental thereto as necessary or desirable to promote and carry out such purpose. The funds with this investment strategy seek to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns by taking advantage of credit opportunities in U.S. middle-market companies with liquidity needs and market leaders seeking to improve their balance sheets. The opportunistic lending strategy is managed through a private fund and separately managed accounts (the “Opportunistic Lending Funds” and together with the First Lien Funds, the “Owl Rock Private Funds”). As of September 30, 2020, the Owl Rock Advisors have $1.1 billion of assets under management across these products.
We refer to the Owl Rock BDCs and the Owl Rock Private Funds herein, collectively, as the “Owl Rock Clients.”
The Owl Rock Advisors may provide management or investment advisory services to entities that have overlapping objectives with us. The Adviser and its affiliates may face conflicts in the allocation of investment opportunities to us and others. In order to address these conflicts, the Owl Rock Advisors have put in place an allocation policy that addresses the allocation of investment opportunities as well as co-investment restrictions under the 1940 Act.
In addition, the Company, the Adviser and certain of their respective affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by the SEC to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Pursuant to such exemptive relief, we generally are permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates if a “required majority” ​(as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of the Independent Directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transaction, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and Shareholders and do not involve overreaching of us or Shareholders on the part of any person concerned, (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of Shareholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies, and (3) the investment by our affiliates would not disadvantage us, and our participation would not be on a basis different from or less advantageous than that on which our affiliates are investing. The Owl Rock Advisors’ allocation policy incorporates the conditions of the exemptive relief. As a result of the exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in our investment

portfolio and the investment portfolios of other Owl Rock Clients and/or future funds and vehicles established by the Owl Rock Advisors that could avail themselves of the exemptive relief.
Benefits of the Transaction and the Resulting Adviser Change in Control
In evaluating the New Advisory Agreement, the Board requested, and received, information and materials regarding Owl Rock, the Adviser, Altimar, Dyal and their respective affiliates.
The Board believes that the Company and its Shareholders will benefit from the combination of Owl Rock and Dyal. In particular, the Board believes that as a result of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, the Company will benefit from (i) the potential for enhanced investment sourcing capabilities as a result of the combination of the Adviser’s and Dyal’s relationships with the alternative asset management community, (ii) increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and its relationships with the financial sponsor community and service providers and an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, (iii) attendant benefits to the investing process, including enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and (iv) enhanced ability for the Adviser to attract and retain highly talented professionals, each at no additional cost to the Company.
Additional Considerations under the 1940 Act
The Adviser Change in Control is structured to comply with the “safe harbor” included in Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act at the closing of the Adviser Change in Control. Section 15(f) provides that when a sale of securities or any other interest in an investment adviser occurs, the investment adviser or any of its affiliated persons may receive any amount or benefit in connection with the sale so long as two conditions are satisfied. These conditions are as follows:

First, during the three-year period following the consummation of a transaction, at least 75% of the investment company’s board of directors must be comprised of Independent Directors. The Board is expected to meet this requirement at the time of the consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control. As a result, following the Adviser Change in Control, at least 75% of the Board will consist of Independent Directors; and

Second, an “unfair burden” must not be imposed on the investment company as a result of the transaction relating to the sale of such interest, or any of its applicable express or implied terms, conditions or understandings. The term “unfair burden,” as defined in the 1940 Act, includes any arrangement during the two-year period after the transaction whereby the investment adviser (or predecessor or successor adviser), or any “interested person” of such an adviser, receives or is entitled to receive any compensation, directly or indirectly, from the investment company or its shareholders (other than fees for bona fide investment advisory or other services) or from any person in connection with the purchase or sale of securities or other property to, from or on behalf of the investment company (other than bona fide ordinary compensation as principal underwriter for the investment company).
Terms of the New Advisory Agreement
The following description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of New Advisory Agreement attached hereto as Appendix A.
The terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement, except for the term which will be two years from the effective date of the New Advisory Agreement, and renew for successive annual periods unless earlier terminated and so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually in accordance with the 1940 Act. Under the terms of the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will continue to be responsible for the following:

managing our assets in accordance with our investment objective, policies and restrictions;

determining the composition of our portfolio, the nature and timing of the changes to our portfolio and the manner of implementing such changes;
 
18

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 

making investment decisions for us, including negotiating the terms of investments in, and dispositions of, portfolio securities and other instruments on its behalf;

monitoring our investments;

performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies;

exercising voting rights in respect of portfolio securities and other investments for us;

serving on, and exercising observer rights for, boards of directors and similar committees of our portfolio companies; and

providing us with such other investment advisory and related services as we may, from time to time, reasonably require for the investment of capital.
The Adviser’s services under the New Advisory Agreement are not exclusive, and it is free to furnish similar services to other entities so long as its services to us are not impaired.
Under the New Advisory Agreement, the Company will pay the Adviser, as compensation for the investment advisory and management services, fees consisting of two components: (i) the Management Fee and (ii) the Incentive Fee.
Management Fee
As under the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Management Fee will be payable at an annual rate of (x) 1.50% of the Company’s average gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that is above an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act and (y) 1.00% of the Company’s average gross assets (excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts) that is below an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Section 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, in each case, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.
The Management Fee for any partial month or quarter, as the case may be, will be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant calendar months or quarters, as the case may be. For purposes of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, gross assets means the Company’s total assets determined on a consolidated basis in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States, excluding cash and cash equivalents, but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts.
Incentive Fee
As under the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee will be comprised of two components: (1) a portion based on the Company’s income and (2) a portion based on the Company’s capital gains, each as described below. The Incentive Fee calculation is identical under both the Existing Advisory Agreement and the New Advisory Agreement, as described below.
Income Incentive Fee
Consistent with the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Incentive Fee based on income under the New Advisory Agreement will be determined and paid quarterly in arrears and equal 100% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly “hurdle rate” until the Adviser has received 17.5% of the total pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter and, for pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of 1.82% quarterly, 17.5% of all remaining pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter. The 100% “catch-up” provision for pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of the 1.5% “hurdle rate” is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee of 17.5% on all pre-Incentive Fee net investment income when that amount equals 1.82% in a calendar quarter (7.27% annualized), which is the rate at which catch-up is achieved. Once the “hurdle rate” is reached and catch-up is achieved, 17.5% of any pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of 1.82% in any calendar quarter is payable to the Adviser.
For purposes of the New Advisory Agreement, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means dividends (including reinvested dividends), interest and fee income accrued by us during the calendar

quarter, minus operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the New Administration Agreement, as discussed below, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay-in-kind interest (“PIK”) and zero coupon securities), accrued income that we may not have received in cash. The Adviser is not obligated to return the Incentive Fee it receives on PIK interest that is later determined to be uncollectible in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation.
To determine whether pre-Incentive Fee net investment income exceeds the hurdle rate, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income is expressed as a rate of return on the value of our net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Because of the structure of the Incentive Fee, it is possible that we may pay an Incentive Fee in a calendar quarter in which we incur a loss. For example, if we receive pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly hurdle rate, we will pay the applicable Incentive Fee even if we have incurred a loss in that calendar quarter due to realized and unrealized capital losses. In addition, because the quarterly hurdle rate is calculated based on our net assets, decreases in our net assets due to realized or unrealized capital losses in any given calendar quarter may increase the likelihood that the hurdle rate is reached and therefore the likelihood of us paying an Incentive Fee for that calendar quarter. Our net investment income used to calculate this component of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of our gross assets used to calculate the Management Fee because gross assets are total assets (including cash received) before deducting liabilities (such as declared dividend payments).
The following is a graphical representation of the calculation of the income-related portion of the Incentive Fee:
Quarterly Subordinated Incentive Fee on
Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
(expressed as a percentage of the value of net assets)
[MISSING IMAGE: tm212431d1-tbl_quarterlybw.jpg]
Capital Gains Incentive Fee
The second component of the Incentive Fee, the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, will be determined and payable in arrears at the end of each calendar year (or upon termination of the New Advisory Agreement). Under the terms of the New Advisory Agreement, the Capital Gains Incentive Fee will be equal to 17.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from the Listing Date to the end of each calendar year, less cumulative realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation from the Listing Date to the end of each calendar year. Each year, the fee paid for the Capital Gains Incentive Fee is net of the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fee for prior periods. We will accrue, but will not pay, a Capital Gains Incentive Fee with respect to unrealized appreciation because a Capital Gains Incentive Fee would be owed to the Adviser if we were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain. For the sole purpose of calculating the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, the cost basis as of the Listing Date for all of our investments made prior to the Listing Date will be equal to the fair market value of such investments as of the last day of the quarter in which the Listing Date occurred; provided, however, that in no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement be in excess of the amount permitted by the Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof.
The fees that are payable under the New Advisory Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated.
Indemnification
Just as with the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Adviser and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including
 
20

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
without limitation its sole member, will not be liable to us for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Adviser in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under the New Advisory Agreement or otherwise as our investment adviser (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the 1940 Act, concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services).
We will indemnify the Adviser and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including without limitation its general partner or managing member (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of us or our security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under the New Advisory Agreement or otherwise as our investment adviser. However, the Indemnified Parties will not be entitled to indemnification in respect of, any liability to us or Shareholders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of criminal conduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under the New Advisory Agreement.
Duration and Termination of New Advisory Agreement
The New Advisory Agreement will remain in effect for two years after the date it is signed. Thereafter, it will continue to renew automatically for successive annual periods unless earlier terminated and so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by: (i) the vote of the Board, or by the vote of Shareholders holding a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company; and (ii) the vote of a majority of the Independent Directors, in either case, in accordance with the requirements of the 1940 Act. The New Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, upon sixty (60) days’ written notice, by: (a) by vote of a majority of the Board or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Company (as defined in the 1940 Act); or (b) the Adviser. Furthermore, the New Advisory Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its “assignment” ​(as such term is defined for purposes of Section 15(a)(4) of the 1940 Act).
Notwithstanding the termination or expiration of the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will be entitled to any amounts owed as payment of the Management Fees and the Incentive Fees through the date of termination or expiration.
Board Approval of the New Advisory Agreement
At the telephonic meeting of the Board held on December 17, 2020, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously approved the New Advisory Agreement, which agreement would become effective only upon consummation of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control. The Board, including the Independent Directors, met with the Company’s officers several times in connection with their review of the New Advisory Agreement and the Adviser Change in Control. The Board, including the Independent Directors, also met with representatives of Dyal in connection with their review of the New Advisory Agreement and the Adviser Change in Control. In reaching its decision to approve the New Advisory Agreement, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, reviewed a significant amount of information, which had been furnished by the Adviser at the request of the Board. In reaching a decision to approve the New Advisory Agreement, the Board considered, among other things:

the nature, quality and extent of the advisory and other services to be provided to us by the Adviser;

comparative data with respect to advisory fees or similar expenses paid by other BDCs, which could include employees of the Adviser or its affiliates;

our projected operating expenses and expense ratio compared to other BDCs with similar investment objectives;

any existing and potential sources of indirect income to the Adviser from its relationship with us and the profitability of that relationship;

information about the services to be performed and the personnel performing such services under the Investment Advisory Agreement;

the organizational capability and financial condition of the Adviser and its affiliates; and

the possibility of obtaining similar services from other third-party service providers or through an internally managed structure.
In particular, in connection with the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, the Board believes that the Company and its Shareholders will benefit from access to Dyal’s greater scale and resources, while maintaining continuity in the Adviser’s investment advisory personnel.
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services to be Provided
The Board considered the Adviser’s expected responsibilities under the New Advisory Agreement, which are not expected to change as compared to its current involvement in all aspects of the day-to-day investment management of the Company. In considering the nature, extent and quality of the investment advisory services provided by the Adviser, the Board noted that it had previously reviewed the written responses of the Adviser to inquiries from counsel on behalf of the Board, which included, among other things, information about the background and experience of its management, investment professionals and members of the Investment Committee. The Board also considered information regarding the past year’s performance of the Adviser as indicative of the quality of investment management services expected to be provided in the future to the Company.
The Board discussed the Adviser’s approach to the investment process, including its focus on debt and equity investments in U.S. middle-market companies, including senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into a portfolio company’s common equity. In connection with the investment advisory services provided, the Board considered the additional transaction sourcing opportunities that the Adviser and the Investment Committee are expected to have available through Dyal, including an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, the enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and relationships with the sponsor community and services providers. The Board also considered other investment management services to be provided to the Company, such as the provision of managerial assistance to portfolio companies and monitoring adherence to the Company’s restrictions under the 1940 Act. Based on the factors above, as well as those discussed below, the Board concluded that it was satisfied with the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided to the Company by the Adviser.
Expected Costs of Services Provided and Economies of Scale; Anticipated Profitability
As noted above, the terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identical to the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement. The Board considered the costs the Company is expected to incur after entry into the New Advisory Agreement based on information provided by the Adviser. The Board focused on the various asset-to-expense ratios of the Company under the Existing Advisory Agreement and the benchmark thereof against a peer group of BDCs. The Board noted that the Company’s asset-to-expense ratios under its Existing Advisory Agreement were below the average of the peer group.
The Board considered the potential for, and sharing of, economies of scale as the Company grows in size and considered that the investment objectives and strategies of the Company were not expected to change as a result of the Adviser Change in Control. The Board considered the directly originated nature of the Company’s investment portfolio and resources dedicated by the Adviser thereto, including that the private debt business is one of the least scalable businesses because it requires additional resources as it grows. Accordingly, the Board concluded that although the Adviser Change in Control could lead to economies of scale in the future, it would likely not result in immediate economies of scale previously unavailable to the Company. Therefore, potential economies of scale were determined not to be a significant consideration for the Board in approving the New Advisory Agreement, and the Board determined that the advisory fee structure with respect to the New Advisory Agreement as proposed was reasonable and that no changes were currently necessary to reflect economies of scale.

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
The Board also reviewed information from the Adviser regarding the anticipated profitability to the Adviser from its relationship with the Company, noting that it is difficult to predict with any degree of certainty the Adviser’s profitability after the Adviser Change in Control. However, given that the fee structure, services and costs of personnel under the New Advisory Agreement is identical to that under the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Board determined that, based on information available to the Board related to the Existing Advisory Agreement, the Adviser’s profitability with respect to managing the Company should not be unreasonable in relation to the nature, extent and quality of the services to be provided. The Board also took into account the fact that the Adviser will provide certain administrative services to the Company, pursuant to the New Administration Agreement, and that the Company would reimburse the Adviser at cost for the allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its obligations under the New Administration Agreement. Based on its review and evaluation of the information provided, the Board concluded, within the context of its overall determinations regarding the New Advisory Agreement, that the Adviser’s expected profitability supported the Board’s decision to approve the New Advisory Agreement.
Investment Performance
The Board reviewed the investment performance of the Company since its commencement of operations and compared the performance of the Company with the performance of comparable BDCs. The Board determined that the Adviser was delivering results consistent with the investment objective of the Company and that the Company’s investment performance was favorable, relative to comparable BDCs. The Board considered that, following the completion of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, no changes are expected to the day-to-day management of the Adviser, key senior management of the Adviser will continue to operate in the same professional capacity, and the composition of the Investment Committee is not expected to change. Further, the Board considered the additional transaction sourcing opportunities that the Adviser and the Investment Committee are expected to have available through Dyal following the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, including an increased pipeline of deal opportunities, the enhanced resources available for the Company’s investment activity, and increased opportunities for the Adviser to utilize its resources and relationships with the sponsor community and services providers. Accordingly, in light of such findings and the performance history of the Company, the Board determined that the investment performance of the Company was likely to remain consistent under the New Advisory Agreement.
Comparison of Management Fee and Expense Ratio to Other Business Development Companies
The Board reviewed and considered comparative data with respect to the expense ratios and the amount and structure of the expenses paid by the Company’s peer group. As a general matter, the Board noted that the proposed fee structure under the New Advisory Agreement was generally consistent with the fee structure used by peer BDC firms under their respective investment management agreements. See “Proposal 1: Approval of the New Advisory Agreement — Incentive Fee” for more information.
The Board compared the services to be rendered and fees to be charged under the New Advisory Agreement with those services rendered and fees charged to the Adviser’s other clients.
Based on the information reviewed and the considerations detailed above, the Board, including the Independent Directors, concluded that the fee and expense structure is fair and reasonable in relation to the services to be provided under the New Advisory Agreement.
Experience of Management Team
The Board discussed the experience of the members of the management team that serve on the Investment Committee. The Board observed that each such member of the Investment Committee had substantial significant investment experience and each had a skill set that enhanced the investment decision making process for the Adviser. The Board noted that they were already well aware of the substantial capabilities of the Investment Committee members and felt that the continued membership of the Investment Committee will provide support and stability to the investment making process, which they expected to be beneficial for Shareholders.

Interests of Certain Persons Related to the Company
Shareholders should be aware that the Company’s interested directors, Douglas I. Ostrover, Craig W. Packer and Alan J. Kirshenbaum, may have interests that are different from, or in addition to, those of Shareholders generally.
Messrs. Packer and Kirshenbaum currently serve as the executive officers of the Company, but are also employed by, and serve as officers of, the Adviser. In addition, Messrs. Ostrover and Packer each also serve as members of the Investment Committee. Members of the Investment Committee, through their financial interests in the Adviser, are entitled to a portion of the profits earned by the Adviser, which includes any fees payable to the Adviser under the terms of the Existing Advisory Agreement, less expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its services under the Existing Advisory Agreement. Further, Messrs. Ostrover, Packer and Kirshenbaum, as Owl Rock Principals, have an interest in the Transaction closing. As a result, Messrs. Ostrover, Packer and Kirshenbaum have an interest in the Company continuing to retain the Adviser under the New Advisory Agreement.
The Board, including the non-interested directors, was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in approving the New Advisory Agreement, and in making its recommendation that Shareholders vote “FOR” the New Advisory Agreement.
Other Benefits
The Board considered certain indirect benefits that currently are received by the Adviser, and that may be received by Dyal, including reimbursements to the Adviser of allocable expenses under the New Administration Agreement. The Board also considered indirect benefits to the Adviser, Dyal and their affiliates expected to be derived from their relationships with the Company as a result of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control and noted that no additional benefits were reported by the Adviser or Dyal.
The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fees are reasonable, taking into consideration these other indirect benefits.
Conclusion
No single factor was determinative of the decision of the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, to approve the New Advisory Agreement and individual directors may have weighed certain factors differently. Following this process, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, unanimously voted to approve the New Advisory Agreement subject to Shareholder approval.
Required Vote
Approval of the New Advisory Agreement requires the affirmative vote of holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” as defined in the 1940 Act, of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company. Under the 1940 Act, the vote of holders of a “majority of the outstanding voting securities” means the vote of the holders of the lesser of (a) 67% or more of the voting securities present or represented by proxy at the Special Meeting if the holders of more than 50% of the voting securities are present or represented by proxy or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding voting securities. Abstentions and broker non-votes, if any, will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” Proposal 1.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the New Advisory Agreement.

PROPOSAL 2: ADJOURNMENT OF THE SPECIAL MEETING
We are asking you to approve a proposal to adjourn the Special Meeting to a later date or dates, if necessary or appropriate, to solicit additional proxies if there are insufficient votes at the time of the Special Meeting to approve the New Advisory Agreement. If Shareholders approve the Adjournment Proposal, we could adjourn the Special Meeting and any subsequent, adjourned meeting of Shareholders and use the additional time to solicit required proxies, including proxies from Shareholders who previously may have returned properly executed proxies voting against the New Advisory Agreement Proposal. Among other things, approval of the Adjournment Proposal could mean that, even if we receive proxies, in connection with the Special Meeting, that represent a sufficient number of votes against the New Advisory Agreement Proposal that it would be rejected, we could adjourn the Special Meeting without a vote on the New Advisory Agreement Proposal and seek to convince the Shareholders who provided such proxies to change their votes to votes in favor of the New Advisory Agreement Proposal. Additionally, the Chairman of the Special Meeting may adjourn the Special Meeting in his or her discretion under the terms of our bylaws.
Approval of the Adjournment Proposal requires the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of shares of Common Stock present virtually or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the Adjournment Proposal and broker non-votes, if any, will have no effect on the vote for the Adjournment Proposal.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the Adjournment Proposal.

Subject to the supervision of the Board, the Adviser shall have the power and authority on behalf of the Company to effectuate its investment decisions for the Company, including the execution and delivery of all documents relating to the Company’s investments and the placing of orders for other purchase or sale transactions on behalf of the Company. In the event that the Company determines to acquire debt financing, the Adviser will arrange for such financing on the Company’s behalf, subject to the oversight and approval of the Board. If it is necessary or appropriate for the Adviser to make investments on behalf of the Company through a special purpose vehicle, the Adviser shall have authority to create or arrange for the creation of such special purpose vehicle and to make such investments through such special purpose vehicle (in accordance with the Investment Company Act).
b)
The Adviser hereby accepts such employment and agrees during the term hereof to render the services described herein for the compensation provided herein.
c)
The Adviser shall for all purposes herein provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, except as expressly provided or authorized herein, shall have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.
d)
The Adviser shall keep and preserve for the period required by the Investment Company Act any books and records relevant to the provision of its investment advisory services to the Company and shall specifically maintain all books and records in accordance with Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act with respect to the Company’s portfolio transactions and shall render to the Board such periodic and special reports as the Board may reasonably request. The Adviser agrees that all records that it maintains for the Company are the property of the Company and will surrender promptly to the Company any such records upon the Company’s request, provided that the Adviser may retain a copy of such records.
e)
The Adviser shall be primarily responsible for the execution of any trades in securities in the Company’s portfolio and the Company’s allocation of brokerage commissions.
f)
Following a continuous public offering through the independent broker-dealer network (a “Non-Listed Offering”) and prior to such time as the Company’s common stock is listed on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”), the Adviser shall, upon request by an official or agency administering the securities laws of a state (a “State Administrator”), submit to such State Administrator the reports and statements required to be distributed to the Company’s stockholders pursuant to this Agreement, any registration statement filed with the SEC and applicable federal and state law.

Company’s Responsibilities and Expenses Payable by the Company
Except as otherwise provided herein or in the Amended and Restated Administration Agreement (the “Administration Agreement”), dated March 1[      ], 20162021 between the Company and the Adviser (the Adviser, in its capacity as the administrator, the “Administrator”), the Adviser shall be solely responsible for the compensation of its investment professionals and employees and all overhead expenses of the Adviser (including rent, office equipment and utilities). The Company will bear all other costs and expenses of its operations, administration and transactions, including (without limitation): the cost of its organization and any offerings; the cost of calculating its net asset value, including the cost of any third-party valuation services; the cost of effecting any sales and repurchases of the Common Stock and other securities; fees and expenses payable under any dealer manager agreements, if any; debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements; costs of hedging; expenses, including travel expense, incurred by the Adviser, or members of the Investment Team, or payable to third parties, performing due diligence on prospective portfolio companies and, if necessary, enforcing the Company’s rights; transfer agent and custodial fees; fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts; federal and state registration fees, any stock exchange listing fees and fees payable to rating agencies; federal, state and local taxes; independent directors’ fees and expenses including certain travel expenses; costs of preparing financial statements and maintaining books and records and filing reports or other documents with the SEC (or other regulatory bodies) and other reporting and compliance costs, including registration and listing fees, and the compensation of professionals responsible for the preparation of the foregoing; the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to stockholders (including printing and mailing costs), the costs of any stockholder or director meetings and the compensation of personnel responsible for the preparation of the foregoing and related matters; commissions and other compensation payable to brokers or dealers; research and market data; fidelity bond, directors and officers errors and omissions liability insurance and other insurance premiums; direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing, long distance telephone and staff; fees and expenses associated with independent audits, outside legal and consulting costs; costs of winding up; costs incurred in connection with the formation or maintenance of entities or vehicles to hold the Company’s assets for tax or other purposes; extraordinary expenses (such as litigation or indemnification); and costs associated with reporting and compliance obligations under the Advisers Act and applicable federal and state securities laws. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall reimburse the Adviser (or its affiliates) for an allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Adviser (or its affiliates) to the Company’s Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of the Company). For the avoidance of doubt, the Adviser shall be solely responsible for any placement or “finder’s” fees payable to placement agents engaged by the Company or its affiliates in connection with the offering of securities by the Company.
In addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 3, following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing the provisions set forth in “Annex A — I. Company’s Responsibilities and Expenses Payable by the Company” shall apply.
3)
Compensation of the Adviser
The Company agrees to pay, and the Adviser agrees to accept, as compensation for the services provided by the Adviser hereunder, a base management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”) as hereinafter set forth. The Company shall make any payments due hereunder to the Adviser or to the Adviser’s designee as the Adviser may otherwise direct.
a)
For services rendered under this Agreement, the Management Fee will be payable quarterly in arrears. Management Fees for any partial month or quarter will be appropriately prorated and adjusted for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant month or quarter. The Management fee shall be calculated as follows:
i)
Prior to an Exchange Listing, the Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of 0.75% of (i) the average of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash-equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters and (ii) the average of any remaining undrawn capital commitments at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.
 
A-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
ii)
Following an Exchange Listing, the Management Fee shall be calculated at an annual rate of (x) 1.50% of the average of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash-equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, that is above an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the Investment Company Act, and (y) 1.00% of the average of the Company’s gross assets, excluding cash and cash-equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, that is below an asset coverage ratio of 200% calculated in accordance with Sections 18 and 61 of the Investment Company Act, in each case at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.
b)
Prior to an Exchange Listing, the Adviser will not be entitled to an Incentive Fee. Following an Exchange Listing, the Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:
i)
One part will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears based on the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing with the first calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing. For this purpose, pre-Incentive Fee net investment income means dividends (including reinvested dividends), interest and fee income accrued by the Company during the calendar quarter, minus the Company’s operating expenses for the calendar quarter (including the Management Fee, expenses payable under the Administration Agreement to the Administrator, and any interest expense and dividends paid on any issued and outstanding preferred stock, but excluding the Incentive Fee). Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income includes, in the case of investments with a deferred interest feature (such as original issue discount, debt instruments with pay-in-kind interest and zero coupon securities), accrued income that the Company has not yet received in cash. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not include any realized capital gains, realized capital losses or unrealized capital appreciation or depreciation. Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, expressed as a rate of return on the value of the Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter, will be compared to a “hurdle rate” of 1.5% per calendar quarter (6% annualized). The Company’s net investment income used to calculate this part of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of its gross assets used to calculate the Management Fee.
The Company will pay the Adviser an Incentive Fee with respect to the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in each calendar quarter as follows:

With the exception of the Capital Gains Incentive Fee (as defined and discussed in greater detail below), no Incentive Fee is payable to the Adviser prior to an Exchange Listing or in any calendar quarter in which the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income does not exceed the hurdle rate of 1.5% for such calendar quarter.

100% of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income with respect to that portion of such pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, if any, that exceeds the hurdle rate is payable to the Adviser until the Adviser has received 17.5% of the total pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter. The Company refers to this portion of the Company’s Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as the “catch-up.”

Once the hurdle is reached and the catch-up is achieved, 17.5% of all remaining pre-Incentive Fee net investment income for that calendar quarter is payable to the Adviser.
ii)
The second part of the Incentive Fee (the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee”) will be determined and payable in arrears as of the end of each calendar year of the Company (or upon termination of this Agreement as set forth below), and will equal 17.5% of the Company’s realized capital gains, if any, on a cumulative basis from the date on which the Exchange Listing becomes effective (the “Listing Date”) to the end of such calendar year, computed net of all realized capital losses and unrealized capital depreciation on a cumulative basis from the Listing Date through the end of each calendar year, minus the aggregate amount of any previously paid Capital Gains Incentive Fees for prior periods. For the sole purpose of calculating the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, the cost basis as of the Listing Date for all of the Company’s investments made prior to the Listing Date will be equal to the fair market value of such
 
A-4

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
investments as of the last day of the calendar quarter in which the Listing Date occurs; provided, however, that in no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant hereto be in excess of the amount permitted by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, including Section 205 thereof.
iii)
Examples of the quarterly incentive fee calculation are attached hereto as Annex B. Such examples are included for illustrative purposes only and are not considered part of this Agreement.
4)
Covenants of the Adviser
The Adviser agrees that it will remain registered as an investment adviser under the Advisers Act so long as the Company maintains its election to be regulated as a BDC under the Investment Company Act. The Adviser agrees that its activities will at all times be in compliance in all material respects with all applicable federal and state laws governing its operations and investments. In addition, following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing, the Adviser shall comply with the covenants set forth in “Annex A — II. Covenants of the Adviser.”
5)
Excess Brokerage Commissions
The Adviser is hereby authorized, to the fullest extent now or hereafter permitted by law, to cause the Company to pay a member of a national securities exchange, broker or dealer an amount of commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission another member of such exchange, broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser determines in good faith, taking into account such factors as price (including the applicable brokerage commission or dealer spread), size of order, difficulty of execution, and operational facilities of the firm and the firm’s risk and skill in positioning blocks of securities, that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and/or research services provided by such member, broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with respect to the Company’s portfolio, and constitutes the best net results for the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing, the provisions set forth in “Annex A — III. Excess Brokerage Commissions” shall apply.
6)
Investment Team
The Adviser shall manage the Company’s portfolio through a team of investment professionals (the “Investment Team”) dedicated primarily to the Company’s business, in cooperation with the Company’s Chief Executive Officer. The Investment Team shall be comprised of senior personnel of the Adviser, supported by and with access to the investment professionals, analytical capabilities and support personnel of the Company.
7)
Limitations on the Employment of the Adviser
The services of the Adviser to the Company are not exclusive, and the Adviser may engage in any other business or render similar or different services to others including, without limitation, the direct or indirect sponsorship or management of other investment-based accounts or commingled pools of capital, however structured, having investment objectives similar to those of the Company, so long as its services to the Company hereunder are not impaired thereby, and nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any manager, partner, officer or employee of the Adviser to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to receive any fees or compensation in connection therewith (including fees for serving as a director of, or providing consulting services to, one or more of the Company’s portfolio companies, subject to applicable law). So long as this Agreement or any extension, renewal or amendment remains in effect, the Adviser shall be the only investment adviser for the Company, subject to the Adviser’s right to enter into sub-advisory agreements as set forth herein. The Adviser assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder. It is understood that directors, officers, employees and stockholders of the Company are or may become interested in the Adviser and its affiliates, as directors, officers, employees, partners, stockholders, members, managers or otherwise, and that the Adviser and directors,

officers, employees, partners, stockholders, members and managers of the Adviser and its affiliates are or may become similarly interested in the Company as stockholders or otherwise.
8)
Responsibility of Dual Directors, Officers and/or Employees
If any person who is a manager, partner, officer or employee of the Adviser is or becomes a director, officer and/or employee of the Company and acts as such in any business of the Company, then such manager, partner, officer and/or employee of the Adviser or the Administrator shall be deemed to be acting in such capacity solely for the Company, and not as a manager, partner, officer or employee of the Adviser or the Administrator or under the control or direction of the Adviser or the Administrator, even if paid by the Adviser or the Administrator.
9)
Limitation of Liability of the Adviser; Indemnification
The Adviser (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including without limitation its sole member) shall not be liable to the Company for any action taken or omitted to be taken by the Adviser in connection with the performance of any of its duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company (except to the extent specified in Section 36(b) of the Investment Company Act concerning loss resulting from a breach of fiduciary duty (as the same is finally determined by judicial proceedings) with respect to the receipt of compensation for services), and the Company shall indemnify, defend and protect the Adviser (and its officers, managers, partners, agents, employees, controlling persons, members and any other person or entity affiliated with the Adviser, including without limitation its general partner or managing member and the Administrator each of whom shall be deemed a third party beneficiary hereof) (collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”) and hold them harmless from and against all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and amounts reasonably paid in settlement) incurred by the Indemnified Parties in or by reason of any pending, threatened or completed action, suit, investigation or other proceeding (including an action or suit by or in the right of the Company or its security holders) arising out of or otherwise based upon the performance of any of the Adviser’s duties or obligations under this Agreement or otherwise as an investment adviser of the Company. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence of this Section 9 to the contrary, nothing contained herein shall protect or be deemed to protect the Indemnified Parties against or entitle or be deemed to entitle the Indemnified Parties to indemnification in respect of, any liability to the Company or its security holders to which the Indemnified Parties would otherwise be subject by reason of criminal conduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Adviser’s duties or by reason of the reckless disregard of the Adviser’s duties and obligations under this Agreement (as the same shall be determined in accordance with the Investment Company Act and any interpretations or guidance by the SEC or its staff thereunder). Notwithstanding this Section 9 to the contrary, following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing, the provisions set forth in “Annex A — V. Limitation of Liability of the Adviser; Indemnification” shall apply.

Annex A
Additional Provisions
I.
Company’s Responsibilities and Expenses Payable by the Company. In addition to the compensation paid to the Adviser pursuant to Section 3 of the Agreement, following a Non-Listed Offering the Company shall reimburse the Adviser for all expenses of the Company incurred by the Adviser as well as the actual cost of goods and services used for or by the Company and obtained from entities not affiliated with the Adviser. Following a Non-Listed Offering the Adviser may be reimbursed for the administrative services performed by it on behalf of the Company pursuant to any separate administration or co-administration agreement with the Adviser; provided, however, such reimbursement shall be an amount equal to the lower of the Adviser’s actual cost or the amount the Company would be required to pay third parties for the provision of comparable administrative services in the same geographic location; and provided, further, that such costs are reasonably allocated to the Company on the basis of assets, revenues, time records or other methods conforming with generally accepted accounting principles. No such reimbursement shall be permitted for services for which the Adviser is entitled to compensation by way of a separate fee. Excluded from such allowable reimbursement shall be:
a.
rent or depreciation, utilities, capital equipment, and other administrative items of the Adviser; and
b.
salaries, fringe benefits, travel expenses and other administrative items incurred by or allocated to any Controlling Person of the Adviser. The term “Controlling Person” shall mean a person, whatever his or her title, who performs functions for the Adviser similar to those of (a) the chairman or other member of a board of directors, (b) executive officers or (c) those holding 10% or more equity interest in the Adviser, or a person having the power to direct or cause the direction of the Adviser, whether through the ownership of voting securities, by contract or otherwise.
II.
Covenants of the Adviser. Following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing:
a.
The Adviser shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared and mailed or delivered by any reasonable means, including an electronic medium, a copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), to each stockholder as of a record date after the end of the fiscal year within 120 days after the end of the fiscal year to which it relates that shall include: (i) financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles which are audited and reported on by independent certified public accountants; (ii) a report of the material activities of the Company during the period covered by the report; (iii) where forecasts have been provided to the Company’s stockholders, a table comparing the forecasts previously provided with the actual results during the period covered by the report; and (iv) a report setting forth distributions to Company’s stockholders for the period covered thereby and separately identifying distributions from: (A) cash flow from operations during the period; (B) cash flow from operations during a prior period which have been held as reserves; (C) proceeds from disposition of assets; and (D) reserves from the gross proceeds. Such Annual Report on Form 10-K must also contain a breakdown of the costs reimbursed to the Adviser. The Company shall take reasonable steps to assure that: (v) within the scope of the annual audit of the Company’s financial statements, the independent certified public accountants preparing such Annual Report on Form 10-K will issue a special report on the allocation of such costs to the Company in accordance with this Agreement; (w) the special report shall be in accordance with the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants United States Auditing Standards relating to special reports; (x) the additional costs of such special report will be itemized and may be reimbursed to the Adviser by the Company in accordance with this Section II(a) only to the extent that such reimbursement, when added to the cost for administrative services rendered, does not exceed the competitive rate for such services as determined above; (y) the special report shall at minimum provide a review of the time records of individual employees, the costs of whose services were reimbursed and the specific nature of the work performed by each such employee; and (z) the prospectus, prospectus supplement or periodic report as filed with the SEC shall disclose in tabular form an itemized estimate of such proposed expenses for the next fiscal year together with a breakdown by year of such expenses reimbursed in each of the last

five public programs formed by the Adviser and subject to the Omnibus Guidelines published by the North American Securities Administrators Association on May 7, 2007.
b.
The Adviser shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared and mailed or delivered to each Company stockholder within 60 days after the end of each fiscal quarter of the Company a Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed by the Company under the Exchange Act.
c.
The Adviser shall prepare or shall cause to be prepared and mailed or delivered within 75 days after the end of each calendar year of the Company to each person who was at any time during such calendar year a Company stockholder all information pertaining to such stockholder’s investment in the Company necessary for the preparation of such person’s federal income tax return.

From time to time and not less than quarterly, the Company shall cause the Adviser to review the Company’s accounts to determine whether cash distributions are appropriate.

In no event shall funds be advanced or borrowed solely for the purpose of such cash distributions. Any cash distributions to the Adviser shall be made only in conjunction with distributions to stockholders and as a result of any shares held by the Adviser.

g.
The Adviser shall, in its sole discretion, temporarily place proceeds from offerings by the Company of its equity securities into short-term, highly liquid investments which, in its reasonable judgment, afford appropriate safety of principal during such time as it is determining the composition and allocation of the portfolio of the Company and the nature, timing and implementation of any changes thereto pursuant to Section 1 of the Agreement; provided however, that the Adviser shall be under no fiduciary obligation to select any such short-term, highly liquid investment based solely on any yield or return of such investment. The Adviser shall cause any proceeds of the offering of Company securities not committed for investment within the later of two years from the date of effectiveness of the registration statement relating to the Non-Listed Offering or one year from termination of the Non-Listed Offering, unless a longer period is permitted by the applicable State Administrator, to be paid as a distribution to the stockholders of the Company as a return of capital without deduction of Front End Fees.
III.

a.
All Front End Fees (as defined in the Company’s charter) shall be reasonable and shall not exceed 18% of the gross proceeds of any offering and sale of the Company’s shares, regardless of the source of payment. Any reimbursement to the Adviser or any other person for deferred Organizational and Offering Expenses (as defined in the Company’s charter), including any interest thereon, if any, will be included within this 18% limitation.
b.
The Adviser shall cause the Company to commit at least 82% of the gross proceeds of any offering and sale of the Company’s shares towards the investment or reinvestment of assets and reserves as set forth in Section II(e) of this Annex A on behalf of the Company. The remaining proceeds may be used to pay Front End Fees.

c.
The Adviser covenants that it shall not permit or cause to be permitted the Company’s funds from being commingled with the funds of any other entity.

ii.
the Indemnified Party was acting on behalf of or performing services for the Company;
iii.
such liability or loss was not the result of (A) negligence or misconduct, in the case that the Indemnified Party is the Adviser or an Affiliate (as defined in the Articles of Incorporation) of the Adviser, or (B) gross negligence or willful misconduct, in the case that the Indemnified Party is a director of the Company who is not also an officer of the Company or the Adviser or an Affiliate of the Adviser; and
iv.
such indemnification or agreement to hold harmless is recoverable only out of the Company’s net assets and not from the Company stockholders.
Furthermore, the Indemnified Party shall not be indemnified for any losses, liabilities or expenses arising from or out of an alleged violation of federal or state securities laws by such party unless one or more of the following conditions are met:
i.
there has been a successful adjudication on the merits of each count involving alleged material securities law violations as to the Indemnified Party;
ii.
such claims have been dismissed with prejudice on the merits by a court of competent jurisdiction as to the Indemnified Party; or
iii.
a court of competent jurisdiction approves a settlement of the claims against the Indemnified Party and finds that indemnification of the settlement and the related costs should be made, and the court considering the request for indemnification has been advised of the position of the SEC and of the published position of any state securities regulatory authority in which shares of stock of the Company were offered or sold as to indemnification for violations of securities laws.
b.
Following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing, the Company may pay or reimburse reasonable legal expenses and other costs incurred by the Indemnified Party in advance of final disposition of a proceeding only if all of the following are satisfied:

TABLE OF CONTENTS
 
i.
the proceeding relates to acts or omissions with respect to the performance of duties or services on behalf of the Company;
ii.
the Indemnified Party provides the Company with written affirmation of such Indemnified Party’s good faith belief that the Indemnified Party has met the standard of conduct necessary for indemnification by the Company;
iii.
the legal proceeding was initiated by a third party who is not a Company stockholder, or, if by a Company stockholder acting in his or her capacity as such, a court of competent jurisdiction approves such advancement; and
iv.
the Indemnified Party provides the Company with a written agreement to repay the amount paid or reimbursed by the Company, together with the applicable legal rate of interest thereon, if it is ultimately determined that the Indemnified Party did not comply with the requisite standard of conduct and is not entitled to indemnification.
VI.
Effectiveness, Duration and Termination of Agreement. Following a Non-Listed Offering and prior to an Exchange Listing, without the approval of holders of a majority of the shares entitled to vote on the matter, the Adviser shall not: (i) amend this Agreement except for amendments that do not adversely affect the interests of the stockholders; (ii) voluntarily withdraw as the Adviser unless such withdrawal would not affect the tax status of the Company and would not materially adversely affect the stockholders; (iii) appoint a new Adviser; (iv) sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets other than in the ordinary course of the Company’s business; or (v) cause the merger or other reorganization of the Company. In the event that the Adviser should withdraw pursuant to (ii) above, the withdrawing Adviser shall pay all expenses incurred as a result of its withdrawal. The Company may terminate the Adviser’s interest in the Company’s revenues, expenses, income, losses, distributions and capital by payment of an amount equal to the then present fair market value of the terminated Adviser’s interest, determined by agreement of the terminated Adviser and the Company. If Company Fund and the Adviser cannot agree upon such amount, the parties will submit to binding arbitration which cost will be borne equally by the Adviser and the Company. The method of payment to the terminated Adviser must be fair and must protect the solvency and liquidity of the Company.

Annex B
Examples of Quarterly Incentive Fee Calculation
Example 1: Income Related Portion of Incentive Fee1,2:
Alternative 1
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.00%
Hurdle rate3 = 1.50%
Management fee4 = 0.38%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)5 = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income
   (investment income — (management fee + other expenses)) = 1.42%
Pre-incentive net investment income does not exceed hurdle rate, therefore there is no Incentive Fee.
Alternative 2
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.25%
Hurdle rate3 = 1.50%
Management fee4 = 0.38%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)5 = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income
   (investment income — (management fee + other expenses)) = 1.67%
Incentive Fee = 100% × pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, subject to the “catch-up”6
   = 100% × (1.67% — 1.5%)
   = 0.17%
Alternative 3
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 2.50%
Hurdle rate3 = 1.50%
Management fee4 = 0.38%
Other expenses (legal, accounting, custodian, transfer agent, etc.)5 = 0.20%
Pre-Incentive Fee net investment income
   (investment income — (management fee + other expenses)) = 1.92%
Incentive Fee = 17.50% × pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, subject to “catch-up”6
Incentive Fee = 100% × “catch-up” + (17.50% × (pre-Incentive Fee net investment income — 1.875%))
Catch-up = 1.82% — 1.50% = 0.32%
Incentive Fee = (100% × 0.32%) + (17.50% × (1.92% — 1.82%))
   = 0.32% + (17.50% × 0.92%)
   = 0.32% + 0.02%
   = 0.34%
1This example assumes that an Exchange Listing has occurred.
2 The hypothetical amount of pre-Incentive Fee net investment income shown is based on a percentage of total net assets.
3Represents 6.0% annualized hurdle rate.
4Represents 1.50% annualized management fee.
5Excludes organizational and offering expenses.
6 The “catch-up” provision is intended to provide the Adviser with an Incentive Fee of 17.50% on all of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income as if a hurdle rate did not apply. The “catch-up” portion of the Company’s pre-Incentive Fee net investment income is the portion that exceeds the 1.5% hurdle rate but is less than or equal to 1.82% in any quarter.

Example 2: Capital Gains Portion of Incentive Fee:
Assumptions
i)
Year 1: The Listing Date is the last day of the first calendar quarter. Prior to the last day of the first calendar quarter the Company has made an investment in Company A (“Investment A”), an investment in Company B (“Investment B”), an investment in Company C (“Investment C”), an investment in Company D (“Investment D”) and an investment in Company E (“Investment E”). On the last day of the first calendar quarter the fair market value (“FMV”) of each of Investment A, Investment B, Investment C, Investment D and Investment E is $10 million. For purposes of calculating the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, the cost basis of each of Investment A, Investment B, Investment C, Investment D and Investment E is considered to be its FMV as of the last day of the first calendar quarter; provided, however, that in no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant hereto be in excess of the amount permitted by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, including Section 205 thereof.

Year 2: Investment A sold for $20 million, fair market value (“FMV”) of Investment B determined to be $8 million, FMV of Investment C determined to be $12 million, and FMV of Investments D and E each determined to be $10 million.

Year 3: FMV of Investment of B determined to be $8 million, FMV of Investment C determined to be $14 million, FMV of Investment D determined to be $14 million and FMV of Investment E determined to be $16 million.

Year 4: $10 million investment made in Company F (“Investment F”), Investment D sold for $12 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $10 million, FMV of Investment C determined to be $16 million and FMV of Investment E determined to be $14 million.

Year 5: Investment C sold for $20 million, FMV of Investment B determined to be $14 million, FMV of Investment E determined to be $10 million and FMV of Investment F determined to $12 million.

Year 6: Investment B sold for $16 million, FMV of Investment E determined to be $8 million and FMV of Investment F determined to be $15 million.

Year 7: Investment E sold for $8 million and FMV of Investment F determined to be $17 million.

Year 8: Investment F sold for $18 million.

The capital gains portion of the Incentive Fee would be:

Year 1: None

Year 2:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = 17.50% multiplied by ($10 million realized capital gains on sale of Investment A less $2 million cumulative capital depreciation) = $1.40 million

Year 3:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = 17.50% multiplied by ($10 million cumulative realized capital gains less $2 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $1.40 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $1.40 million less $1.40 million = $0.00

Year 4:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($12 million cumulative realized capital gains)) less $1.40 million cumulative Capital Incentive Gains Fee previously paid = $2.10 million less $1.40 million = $0.70 million

Year 5:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($22 million cumulative realized capital gains)) less $2.10 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $3.85 million less $2.10 million = $1.75 million

Year 6:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($28 million cumulative realized capital gains less $2 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $3.85 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $4.55 million less $3.85 million = $0.70 million

Year 7:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($28 million cumulative realized capital gains less $2 million cumulative realized capital losses)) less $4.55 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $4.55 million less $4.55 million = $0.00

Year 8:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($36 million cumulative realized capital gains less $2 million cumulative realized capital losses)) less $4.55 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $5.95 million less $4.55 million = $1.40 million
