Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On February 1, 2017, Owl Rock Capital Corporation (the “Company”), a Maryland corporation, entered into a Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Facility”). The parties to the Facility include the Company, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”) and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners, SunTrust Bank as Administrative Agent and Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent.

The Facility is guaranteed by OR Lending LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, and will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of the Company that are formed or acquired by the Company in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.

The maximum principal amount of the Facility is $400,000,000, subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on the Company’s portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness. Maximum capacity under the Facility may be increased to $750,000,000 through the exercise by the Borrower of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Facility includes a $50,000,000 limit for swingline loans and is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by the Company and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.

The availability period under the Facility will terminate on January 31, 2020 (“Commitment Termination Date”) and the Facility will mature on February 1, 2021 (“Maturity Date”). During the period from the Commitment Termination Date to the Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.

The Company may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Facility, will bear interest at either LIBOR plus a margin, or the prime rate plus a margin. The Company may elect either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of drawdown, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at the Company’s option, subject to certain conditions. The Company will also pay a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Facility.

The Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by the Company of additional indebtedness and on the Company’s ability to make distributions to its shareholders, or redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock, upon the occurrence of certain events and certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and liquidity and other maintenance covenants, as well as customary events of default.

The foregoing description of the Facility is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which will be filed with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2016.
