Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On June 11, 2021, Owl Rock Capital Corporation (the “Company”) and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association (the “Trustee”), entered into a Seventh Supplemental Indenture (the “Seventh Supplemental Indenture”) to the Indenture, dated as of April 10, 2019, between the Company and the Trustee (the “Base Indenture”, and together with the Seventh Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), relating to the Company’s issuance, offer and sale of $450,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 2.875% notes due 2028 (the “Notes”).

 

The Notes will mature on June 11, 2028, and the Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at any time, or from time to time, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed or (2) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption) on the Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) using the applicable Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points, plus, in each case, accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date; provided, however, that if the Company redeems any Notes on or after April 11, 2028 (the date falling two months prior to the maturity date of the Notes), the redemption price for the Notes will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

 

The Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.875% per year payable semiannually on June 11 and December 11 of each year, commencing on December 11, 2021. The Notes are direct unsecured obligations of the Company.

 

The Company expects to use the net proceeds of this offering to pay down its existing indebtedness, including its existing indebtedness under its senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which matures on September 3, 2025 with respect to $1.295 billion of commitments, and on April 2, 2024, with respect to the remaining commitments and the Company’s SPV Asset Facility IV, which matures on August 2, 2029.  Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility currently bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.1% and amounts drawn under the SPV Asset Facility IV currently bear interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.4%.

 

The Indenture contains certain covenants including covenants requiring the Company to comply with Section 18(a)(1)(A) as modified by Section 61(a) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, or any successor provisions, but giving effect, in either case, to any exemptive relief granted to the Company by the Securities and Exchange Commission, and to provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company should no longer be subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

 

In addition, upon the occurrence of a change of control repurchase event (which involves the occurrence of both a change of control and a below investment grade rating of the Notes by Fitch Ratings, Inc., S&P Global Ratings, and Moody’s Investor Service), the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of purchase.

 

The Notes were offered and sold pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form N-2 (File No. 333-239775) previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as supplemented by a preliminary prospectus supplement dated June 4, 2021, a final prospectus supplement dated June 4, 2021, and the pricing term sheet dated June 4, 2021. The transaction closed on June 11, 2021.

 

The foregoing descriptions of the Base Indenture, Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Notes do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Base Indenture, Seventh Supplemental Indenture and the Notes, respectively, each filed as exhibits hereto and incorporated by reference herein.
