399 Park Avenue, 38th Floor
New York, New York 10022
[ • ],July 9, 2021
Dear Shareholder:
You are cordially invited to attend the specialannual meeting of shareholders (the “Special Meeting”) of Owl Rock Capital Corporation III (the “Company,” “we” or “us”) to be held on March 17,August 26, 2021 at 10:00 a.m., Eastern Time.Time (the “Annual Meeting”). The SpecialAnnual 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 Diversified 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 investment advisory agreement, dated June 4, 2020, between the Company and the Adviser (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.

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.


TABLE OF CONTENTS


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.
Shareholder Proposals
We are holding the Special Meeting to ask our Shareholders to approve the Company’s entry into the New Advisory Agreement. Under the New Advisory Agreement, the Adviser will continue to act as the investment adviser for the Company following consummation of the Transaction with no changes to the

terms of the agreement. We refer to this proposal as the “New Advisory Agreement Proposal.” We are also asking our Shareholders to approve a proposal for 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 (the “Adjournment Proposal”). These proposals are fully described in the Notice and in the accompanying proxy statement, both of which we encourage you to read in full.
The Board unanimously recommends that you vote “FOR” the approval of (i) the New Advisory Agreement and (ii) the Adjournment Proposal.
Your vote is very important! Your immediate response will help avoid potential delays and may save the Company significant additional expenses associated with soliciting shareholder votes.

(ii)
to ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021; and
(iii)
to transact such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof.
The Company’s Board unanimously recommends that you vote FOR each of the proposals to be considered and voted on at the Annual Meeting.
The Company has elected to provide access to its proxy materials to certain of its shareholders over the internet under the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission’s “notice and access” rules. On or about July 13, 2021, the Company intends to mail to most of its shareholders a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials containing instructions on how to access the proxy statement and annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 (the “Annual Report”), and how to submit proxies over the internet.

The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also contains instructions on how you can elect to receive a printed copy of the proxy statement and Annual Report.

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 Diversified 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 investment advisory agreement, dated June 4, 2020 (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 19,858,462 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the Special Meeting.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 10:00 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/ORCCIII2021SM. 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 SpecialAnnual Meeting and will not be counted for quorum purposes. See “The Special Meeting” beginning on page 11 for more information.any postponements or adjournments thereof.
Why are Shareholders being asked to vote on the New Advisory Agreement?How many votes do I have?
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 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.
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 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. Prior to the listingHolders of the Company’s common stock on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”), the Management Fee is payable at an annual rate of 0.50%are entitled to one vote for each share held as of the Company’s average gross assets, excluding cashRecord Date.
How may I attend the meeting and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts,vote?
By voting virtually at the end of the Company’s two most recently completed calendar quarters, payable quarterly in arrears.
Following an Exchange Listing, if any, the Management Fee will bepayable 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.
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. Prior to an Exchange Listing, if any, the Adviser will not be entitled to an Incentive Fee.
Following an Exchange Listing, if any, the Incentive Fee will consist 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 pre-incentive fee net income will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing, and will 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.
The second component of the Incentive Fee, the “Capital Gains Incentive Fee,” payable at the end of each calendar year in arrears, equals, subsequent to an Exchange Listing, 17.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from the date on which an Exchange Listing, if any, becomes effective (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’s 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 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. The Shareholders will continue to own the same amount and type of shares in the same Company.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
Some of the statements in this Proxy Statement may include “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). All statements, other than historical facts, including but not limited to statements regarding the expected timing of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, the receipt of necessary Shareholder approval, the expected benefits of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control such as (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; and any assumptions underlying any of the foregoing, are forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements concern future circumstances and results and other statements that are not historical facts and are sometimes identified by the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “potential,” “intend,” “expect,” “endeavor,” “seek,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “overestimate,” “underestimate,” “believe,” “could,” “project,” “predict,” “continue,” “target” or other similar words or expressions. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those indicated or anticipated by such forward-looking statements.
Shareholders should carefully review the risks outlined in the “Risk Factors” sections of the Company’s Form 10, filed with the SEC on July 17, 2020 and its most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. The forward-looking statements in this Proxy Statement represent the Company’s views as of the date of this Proxy Statement. The Company anticipates that subsequent events and developments will cause its views to change. However, while the Company may elect to update these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, it has no current intention of doing so, except to the extent required by applicable law. You should, therefore, not rely on these forward-looking statements as representing the Company’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTOR NOMINEES
At the Annual Meeting, shareholders of the Company are being asked to consider the election of two directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Company’s bylaws, the number of directors on the Board may not be fewer than the minimum number required by the Maryland General Corporation Law, or greater than eleven. Under the Company’s Articles of Amendment and Restatement, (the “Charter”), the directors are divided into three classes. Each class of directors holds office for a three-year term. However, the initial members of the three classes have initial terms of one, two, and three years, respectively. The Board currently consists of six directors who serve in the following classes: Class I (terms ending at the Annual Meeting) — Christopher M. Temple and Melissa Weiler; Class II (terms ending at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders) — Edward D’Alelio and Craig W. Packer; and Class III (terms ending at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders) — Brian Finn and Eric Kaye. See “Corporate Governance — The Board” beginning on page 18 for more information regarding the composition of the Board.
Christopher M. Temple and Melissa Weiler each has been nominated for election by the Board to serve a three-year term until the 2024 annual meeting of shareholders and until each of their successors are duly elected and qualified. Each director nominee has agreed to serve as a director if re-elected and has consented to being named as a nominee.
A shareholder can vote for, against or abstain from voting for any or all of the director nominees. In the absence of instructions to the contrary, it is the intention of the persons named as proxies to vote such proxy FOR the election of each of the director nominees named below. If any of the director nominees should decline or be unable to serve as a director, the persons named as proxies will vote for such other nominee as may be proposed by the Board’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. The Board has no reason to believe that any of the persons named as director nominees will be unable or unwilling to serve.
Required Vote
Each director nominee shall be elected by a majority of all the votes cast at the Annual Meeting in person (virtually) or by proxy, provided that a quorum is present. Abstentions will not be included in determining the number of votes cast and, as a result, will not have any effect on the result of the vote with respect to the Director Proposal. There will be no cumulative voting with respect to Proposal 1.
Information about the Nominees and Directors
Set forth below is information, as of July 6, 2021, regarding Mr. Temple and Ms. Weiler, who are being nominated for election as directors of the Company by the Company’s shareholders at the Annual Meeting, as well as information about the Company’s other current directors whose terms of office will continue after the Annual Meeting. Neither Mr. Temple nor Ms. Weiler is being proposed for election pursuant to any agreement or understanding between either Mr. Temple or Ms. Weiler, on the one hand, and the Company or any other person or entity, on the other hand.
The information below includes specific information about each director’s experience, qualifications, attributes or skills that led the Board to the conclusion that the individual is qualified to serve on the Board, in light of the Company’s business and structure.

The Board is divided into three classes, with the members of each class serving staggered, three-year terms; however, the initial members of the three classes have initial terms of one, two and three years, respectively. The terms of the Company’s Class I directors will expire at the Annual Meeting; the terms of the Company’s Class II directors will expire at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders; and the terms of the Company’s Class III directors will expire at the 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.
Mr. Temple and Ms. Weiler serve as Class I directors (with terms expiring at the Annual Meeting). Messrs. D’Alelio and Packer serve as Class II directors (with terms expiring in 2022). Messrs. Finn and Kaye serve as Class III directors (with terms expiring in 2023).
On May 19, 2021, Owl Rock Capital Group, the parent of the Adviser, and Dyal Capital Partners consummated their previously announced merger to form Blue Owl (NYSE:OWL) (the “Transaction”). Blue Owl is a publicly traded alternative asset management firm with approximately $27.8 billion in assets under management as of March 31, 2021. Blue Owl consists of two divisions: Owl Rock, which focuses on direct lending and Dyal, which focuses on providing capital to institutional alternative asset managers.
As previously disclosed, the Transaction was intended to comply with Section 15(f) of the 1940 Act. On May 18, 2021, in anticipation of the Transaction, and in order to ensure that the Transaction complied with Section 15(f), including the requirement that at least 75% of the members of the Board held on December 17, 2020,not be “interested persons” ​(as defined in the 1940 Act) of the Company for three years following the consummation of the Transaction, Douglas Ostrover and Alan Kirshenbaum stepped down as directors of the Company, effective upon the consummation of the Transaction. The Board also voted to reduce its size from eight to six directors, effective upon the consummation of the Transaction.
Independent Directors
The Company’s Charter requires that a majority of the Board including allconsist 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. On an annual basis, each member of the Transaction and the resulting Adviser Change in Control, subjectCompany’s Board is required 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 votecomplete a questionnaire designed to approve the New Advisory Agreement.
As discussed in greater detail below, the terms of the New Advisory Agreement are identicalprovide information 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 advisedassist the Board that Owl Rock has entered into a Business Combination Agreement with Neubergerin determining whether the director is independent under NYSE corporate governance rules, the Exchange Act 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. IfThe Board limits membership on the New Advisory Agreement is not approved by Shareholders, then the Transaction will not close, the resulting Adviser Change in Control will not occur,Audit Committee and the Existing Advisory Agreement will remain in place.Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”) to Independent Directors.

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, we rely on exemptive relief that has been granted by the SEC to ORCA and certain of its affiliates to co-invest with other funds managed by the Adviser, or itsof any of their respective affiliates, in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategiesthe Board has determined that Messrs. Finn, Kaye, Temple, and restrictionsD’Alelio and Ms. Weiler qualify as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Pursuant to such exemptive relief, we generally are permitted to co-invest with certainIndependent Directors.

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.

The Nominating Committee’s goal is to assemble a board that brings to the Company a variety of perspectives and skills derived from high-quality business and professional experience.
Other than the foregoing, there are no stated minimum criteria for director nominees, although the Nominating Committee also may consider other factors as they may deem are in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. The Board also believes it appropriate for certain key members of the Company’s management to participate as members of the Board.
The Nominating Committee identifies nominees by first evaluating the current members of the Board willing to continue in service. Current members of the Board with skills and experience that are relevant to

21


the Company’s business and who are willing to continue in service are considered for re-nomination. If any member of the Board does not wish to continue in service or if the Nominating Committee decides not to re-nominate a member for re-election, the Nominating Committee will identify the desired skills and experience of a new nominee in light of the criteria above. The members of the Board are polled for suggestions as to individuals meeting the aforementioned criteria. Research may also be performed to identify qualified individuals. To date, the Company has not engaged third parties to identify or evaluate or assist in identifying potential nominees, although the Company reserves the right in the future to retain a third-party search firm, if necessary.
The Board has not adopted a formal policy with regard to the consideration of diversity in identifying director nominees. In determining whether to recommend a director nominee, the Nominating Committee considers and discusses diversity, among other factors, with a view toward the needs of the Board as a whole. The Board generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as race, gender, national origin, differences of viewpoint, professional experience, education, skill and other qualities that contribute to the Board, when identifying and recommending director nominees. The Board believes that the inclusion of diversity as one of many factors considered in selecting director nominees is consistent with the Board’s goal of creating a Board that best serves the needs of the Company and the interests of its shareholders.

None of the Company’s executive officers will receive direct compensation from us. The Company will reimburse the Adviser the 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 the percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the Company’s business and affairs, and as otherwise set forth in the Administration Agreement).

Compensation of the Investment Adviser
The Company pays the Adviser an investment advisory and managementfee for its services feesunder the Investment Advisory Agreement consisting of two components: (i)a management fee (the “Management Fee”) and an incentive fee (the “Incentive Fee”). The cost of both the Management Fee and (ii) the Incentive Fee.Fee will ultimately be borne by the shareholders.
The Management Fee
As under is payable quarterly in arrears. Prior to the Existing Advisory Agreement, prior to an Exchange Listing, if any,future quotation or listing of the Company’s securities on a national securities exchange (an “Exchange Listing”), the Management Fee is payable at an annual rate of 0.50% of the Company’s average gross assets, excluding cash and cash equivalents but including assets purchased with borrowed amounts, at the end of the Company’s two most recently completed calendar quarters. The Management Fee is payable quarterly in arrears.
Following an Exchange Listing, if any, the Management Fee will beis payable at an annual rate of (x) of:
(i)
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, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters payable quarterly in arrears, and (y) 
(ii)
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 SectionSections 18 and 61 of the 1940 Act, in each case, at the end of the two most recently completed calendar quarters.quarters payable quarterly in arrears.
The Management Fee for any partial month or quarter, as the case may be, will be appropriately prorated and adjusted (based on the actual number of days elapsed relative to the total number of days in such calendar quarter) for any share issuances or repurchases during the relevant calendar monthsquarters and for any partial month or quarters, as the case may be.quarter. For purposes of the Existing Advisory Agreement and the NewInvestment 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 underPursuant to the ExistingInvestment Advisory Agreement, prior to an Exchange Listing, if any, the Adviser will not be entitled to the Incentive Fee prior to an Incentive Fee.
Exchange Listing. Following an Exchange Listing, if any, the Incentive Fee will be comprisedconsists of two components: (1) acomponents 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 pre-Incentive Fee net investment income and (2) a portion is 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,portion of the Incentive Fee based on pre-Incentive Fee net income under the New Advisory Agreement will be determinedcalculated and paidpayable quarterly in arrears commencing with the first calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing, and will equal 100% of the pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of a 1.5% quarterly “hurdle rate”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, in each case, 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-IncentivePre-Incentive Fee net investment income means dividends (including reinvested dividends), interest and fee income accrued by usthe Company 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,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 (“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

20

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

24


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 ourthe Company’s net assets at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter commencing with the first calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing. Because of the structure of the Incentive Fee, it is possible that wethe Company may pay an Incentive Fee in a calendar quarter in which we incurthe Company incurs a loss. For example, if we receivethe Company receives pre-Incentive Fee net investment income in excess of the quarterly hurdle rate, wethe Company will pay the applicable Incentive Fee even if we haveit has 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 ourthe Company’s net assets, decreases in ourthe Company’s 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 payingthat the Company will pay an Incentive Fee for that calendar quarter. OurThe Company’s net investment income used to calculate this component of the Incentive Fee is also included in the amount of ourthe Company’s 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 representationrepresentations of the calculation of the income-related portion of the Incentive Fee:

Capital GainsPercentage of Pre-Incentive Fee Net Investment Income
Allocated to Quarterly Incentive Fee
The second component of the Incentive Fee, the Capital“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,in arrears, equals, subsequent to an Exchange Listing, if any, to 17.5% of cumulative realized capital gains from the date on which the Exchange Listing, Dateif any, becomes effective (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. WeThe Company 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 wethe Company were to sell the relevant investment and realize a capital gain. The fees that are payable under the Investment Advisory Agreement for any partial period will be appropriately prorated. For the sole purpose of calculating the Capital Gains Incentive Fee, the cost basis as of the Listing Date for all of ourthe Company’s 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 calendar quarter in which the Listing Date occurred;occurs; provided, however, that in no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant to the NewInvestment Advisory Agreement be in excess of the amount permitted by the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended, 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 AdviserCertain Relationships 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, 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

21

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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 AgreementRelated Party Transactions
The New Advisory Agreement will remain in effect for two years afterCompany has entered into both 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 NewInvestment Advisory Agreement and the Adviser Change in Control. The Board, includingAdministration Agreement with the Independent Directors, also met with representatives of Dyal in connection with their review ofAdviser. Pursuant to the New Advisory Agreement and the Adviser Change in Control. In reaching its decision to approve the NewInvestment Advisory Agreement, the Board, including all of the Independent Directors, reviewed a significant amount of information, which had been furnished byCompany will pay 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, qualitybase management fee 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;

22

TABLE OF CONTENTS


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 membersincentive fee. See “Corporate Governance — Compensation of the Investment Committee. The Board also considered information regardingAdviser” for a description of how 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.
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

23

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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.

In addition, the Adviser or Dyal.
The Board concluded that the proposed advisory fees are reasonable, taking into consideration these other indirect benefits.

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 timeThe Company’s executive officers, certain of the Special MeetingCompany’s directors and certain other finance professionals of Blue Owl also serve as executives of the Owl Rock Advisers and officers and directors of the Company and certain professionals of Blue Owl and the Adviser are officers of Blue Owl Securities LLC. In addition, the Company’s executive officers and directors and the members of the Adviser and members of the Investment Committee serve or may serve as officers, directors or principals of entities that operate in the same, or a related, line of business as the Company does including serving on their respective investment committees and/or on the investment committees of investments funds, accounts or other investment vehicles managed by the Company’s affiliates. These investment funds, accounts or other investment vehicles may have investment objectives similar to approve the NewCompany’s investment objectives.
At times, the Company may compete with other entities managed by the Adviser as well as entities managed by the other Owl Rock Advisers and affiliates of Blue Owl, including the other Owl Rock BDCs and funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates comprising Owl Rock (together with the Company, the “Owl Rock Clients”) and the private funds managed by Dyal, a division of Blue Owl (the “Dyal Clients,” and together with the Owl Rock Clients, the “Blue Owl Clients”), for capital and investment opportunities. As a result, the Company may not be given the opportunity to participate or participate fully in certain investments made by the Blue Owl Clients. This can create a potential conflict when allocating investment opportunities among the Company and such other Blue Owl Clients. An investment opportunity that is suitable for multiple clients of the Adviser and its affiliates may not be capable of being shared among some or all of such clients and affiliates due to the limited scale of the opportunity or other factors, including regulatory restrictions imposed by the 1940 Act. However, in order for the Adviser and its affiliates to fulfill their fiduciary duties to each of their clients, the Owl Rock Advisers have put in place an investment allocation policy that seeks to ensure the fair and equitable allocation of investment opportunities over time between the Owl Rock Clients and other funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and addresses the co-investment restrictions set forth under the 1940 Act.
Allocation of Investment Opportunities
The Owl Rock Advisers intend to allocate investment opportunities in a manner that is fair and equitable over time and is consistent with its investment allocation policy, so that no client of the Adviser or its affiliates is disadvantaged in relation to any other client of the Adviser or its affiliates, taking into account such factors as the relative amounts of capital available for new investments, cash on hand, existing commitments and reserves, the investment programs and portfolio positions of the participating investment accounts, the clients for which participation is appropriate, targeted leverage level, targeted asset mix and any other factors deemed appropriate. The Owl Rock Advisers intend to allocate common expenses among the Company and other clients of the Adviser and its affiliates in a manner that is fair and equitable over time or in such other manner as may be required by applicable law or the Investment Advisory Agreement. If Shareholders approve the Adjournment Proposal, we could adjourn the Special MeetingFees 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,expenses generated in connection with potential portfolio investments that are not consummated will be allocated in a manner that is fair and equitable over time and in accordance with policies adopted by the Special Meeting,Owl Rock Advisers and the Investment Advisory Agreement.
The Owl Rock Advisers have put in place an investment allocation policy that representseeks to ensure the equitable allocation of investment opportunities over time between the Owl Rock Clients and other funds managed by the Adviser and its affiliates and addresses the co-investment restrictions set forth under the 1940 Act. When the Company engages in co-investments as permitted by the exemptive relief described below, the Company will do so in a sufficient numbermanner consistent with the Owl Rock Advisers’ investment allocation policy.
In situations where co-investment with other entities managed by the Adviser or its affiliates is not permitted or appropriate, such as when there is an opportunity to invest in different securities of votes against the New Advisory Agreement Proposal that it would be rejected, we could adjournsame issuer, a committee comprised of certain executive officers of the Special Meeting without a voteOwl Rock Advisers (including executive officers of the Adviser) along with other officers and employees, will need to decide whether the Company or such other entity or entities will proceed with the investment. The allocation committee will make these determinations based on the New Advisory Agreement ProposalOwl Rock Advisers’ allocation policy, which generally requires that such opportunities be offered to eligible accounts in a manner that will be fair and seek to convinceequitable over time.
As a result of exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in the Shareholders who provided such proxies to change their votes to votes in favorCompany’s investment portfolio and the investment portfolio of other funds managed by Owl Rock that could avail themselves of the New Advisory Agreement Proposal. Additionally,exemptive relief and that have an investment objective similar to 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.Company’s.

TABLE

The allocation of investment opportunities among the Company and any of the other investment funds sponsored or accounts managed by the Adviser or its affiliates may not always, and often will not, be proportional. In general, pursuant to the Owl Rock Advisers’ investment allocation policy, the process for making an allocation determination includes an assessment as to whether a particular investment opportunity (including any follow-on investment in, or disposition from, an existing portfolio company held by the Company or another investment fund or account) is suitable for the Company or another investment fund or account including the Owl Rock Clients. In making this assessment, the Owl Rock Advisers may consider a variety of factors, including, without limitation: the investment objectives, guidelines and strategies applicable to the investment fund or account; the nature of the investment, including its risk-return profile and expected holding period; portfolio diversification and concentration concerns; the liquidity needs of the investment fund or account; the ability of the investment fund or account to accommodate structural, timing and other aspects of the investment process; the life cycle of the investment fund or account; legal, tax and regulatory requirements and restrictions, including, as applicable, compliance with the 1940 Act (including requirements and restrictions pertaining to co-investment opportunities discussed below); compliance with existing agreements of the investment fund or account; the available capital of the investment fund or account; diversification requirements for BDCs or regulated investment companies; the gross asset value and net asset value of the investment fund or account; the current and targeted leverage levels for the investment fund or account; and portfolio construction considerations. The relevance of each of these criteria will vary from investment opportunity to investment opportunity. In circumstances where the investment objectives of multiple investment funds or accounts regularly overlap, while the specific facts and circumstances of each allocation decision will be determinative, the Owl Rock Advisers may afford prior decisions precedential value.






PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
KPMG LLP, New York, New York, has been appointed by the Board to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021.

A representative of KPMG LLP will be available to answer questions during the Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so.
Although action by the shareholders on this matter is not required, the Audit Committee and the Board believe it is appropriate to seek shareholder ratification of this selection in light of the role played by the independent registered public accounting firm in reporting on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. If a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting and the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021 is not ratified by the shareholders, the adverse vote will be considered by the Audit Committee in determining whether to appoint KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the succeeding fiscal year.

Pursuant to the policy, the Audit Committee pre-approves the audit and non-audit services performed by KPMG LLP in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the firm’s independence.

Normally, pre-approval is provided at regularly scheduled meetings of the Audit Committee. However, the Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members. The member or members to whom such authority is delegated must report any pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting. The Audit Committee does not delegate its responsibilities to pre-approve services performed by KPMG LLP to management.
The Audit Committee received and reviewed the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG LLP’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence, and has discussed with KPMG LLP its independence. The Audit Committee has reviewed the audit fees paid by the Company to KPMG LLP. It also has reviewed non-audit services and fees to assure compliance with the Company’s and the Audit Committee’s policies restricting KPMG LLP from performing services that might impair its independence.
Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 be included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020 for filing with the SEC.

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 such individuals (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to the business affairs of the Company and in acting on behalf of the Company).

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 0.50% of 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 (2) most recently completed calendar quarters.
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 (2) most recently completed calendar quarters.
b)
The Incentive Fee shall consist of two parts, as follows:
i)
The Incentive Fee will be calculated and payable quarterly in arrears as set forth below. Prior to an Exchange Listing, if any, the Adviser will not be entitled to an Incentive Fee. Following an Exchange Listing, the Incentive Fee will consist of two parts. The first part of the Incentive Fee will be calculated based on “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

A-3

TABLE OF CONTENTS

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, commencing with the first calendar quarter following an Exchange Listing, 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 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, if any, 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. In no event will the Capital Gains Incentive Fee payable pursuant hereto be in excess of the amount permitted by the Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof.
iii)
Examples of the quarterly incentive fee calculation are attached hereto as Annex A. 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.
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

7)
Limitations on the Employment of the Adviser

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.

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.

Annex A
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.) = 1.50%
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)) = 0.92%
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.) = 2.10%
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)) = 1.52%
Incentive Fee = 100% × pre-Incentive Fee net investment income, subject to the “catch-up”6
   = 100% × (1.52% - 1.50%)
   = 0.02%
Alternative 3
Assumptions
Investment income (including interest, dividends, fees, etc.) = 3.50%
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)) = 2.93%
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 - 1.82%))
Catch-up = 1.82% - 1.50% = 0.32%
Incentive Fee = (100% × 0.32%) + (17.50% × (2.92% - 1.82%))
   = 0.32% + (17.50% × 1.10%)
   = 0.32% + 0.19%
   = 0.51%
1
This 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.
3
Represents 6.0% annualized hurdle rate.
4
Represents 1.50% annualized management fee.
5
Excludes 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.

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 Advisers Act, including Section 205 thereof.

After an Exchange Listing, 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) = $1.4 million

Year 3:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = 17.50% multiplied by ($10 million cumulative realized capital gains less $2 million cumulative capital depreciation)) less $1.4 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $1.4 million less $1.4 million = $0.00

Year 4:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($12 million cumulative realized capital gains)) less $1.4 million cumulative Capital Incentive Gains Fee previously paid = $2.1 million less $1.4 million = $0.7 million

Year 5:
Capital Gains Incentive Fee = (17.50% multiplied by ($22 million cumulative realized capital gains)) less $2.1 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $3.9 million less $2.1 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 $3.9 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $4.6 million less $3.9 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 $4.6 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $4.6 million less $4.6 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 $4.6 million cumulative Capital Gains Incentive Fee previously paid = $6.0 million less $4.6 million = $1.4 million
