Hi XX,
I hope you’re well.
I wanted to make sure you received the proxy materials for our upcoming annual meetings which were distributed a few weeks ago, and check in on whether you had any questions about the proposals on the ballot since we have not received your vote. Copies of the proxy materials for Owl Rock Capital Corporation II can be found here.
By way of background, there are 3 proposals on the ballot this year:
(i) To elect two board members, Christopher M. Temple and Melissa Weiler, for 3-year terms
(ii) To ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2021
(iii) To transact other business as may properly come before the annual meeting, or any postponement or adjournment thereof
We’d very much appreciate your vote for these proposals at your earliest convenience. If you have any questions about the proposals or how to vote, please let us know and we would be happy to help.
Thank you for your support,
XX
