Promissory Note
On October 6, 2021, the Company as borrower, entered into a Loan Agreement (the “FIC Agreement”) with Owl Rock Feeder FIC LLC (“Feeder FIC”), an affiliate of the Company’s investment adviser, as lender, to enter into revolving promissory notes (the “Promissory Note”) to borrow up to an aggregate of $100.0 million from Feeder FIC. Under the FIC Agreement, the Company could re-borrow any amount repaid; however, there is no funding commitment between Feeder FIC and the Company.
On March 23, 2022, we entered into an amendment to the FIC Agreement to change the manner in which interest is calculated.
The interest rate on amounts borrowed pursuant to the Promissory Note prior to March 23, 2022 was based on the lesser of the rate of interest for an ABR Loan or a Eurodollar Loan under the Credit Agreement dated as of April 15, 2021, as amended or supplemented from time to time, by and among Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC, an affiliate of the Adviser, as borrower, the several lenders from time to time party thereto, MUFG Union Bank, N.A., as Collateral Agent and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent.
The interest rate on amounts borrowed pursuant to the Promissory Notes after March 23, 2022 was based on the lesser of the rate of interest for a SOFR Loan or an ABR Loan under the Credit Agreement dated as of December 7, 2021, as amended or supplemented from time to time, by and among Blue Owl Finance LLC, as Borrower, Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP and Blue Owl Capital Carry LP as Parent Guarantors, the Subsidiary Guarantors party thereto, Bank of America, N.A., as Syndication Agent, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as Co-Documentation Agents and MUFG Bank, Ltd., as Administrative Agent.
The unpaid principal balance of any Promissory Note and accrued interest thereon is payable by the Company from time to time at the discretion of the Company but immediately due and payable upon 120 days written notice by Feeder FIC, and in any event due and payable in full no later than February 28, 2023. The Company intends to use the borrowed funds to make investments in portfolio companies consistent with its investment strategies.
On June 22, 2022, we and Feeder FIC, as lender, entered into a Termination Agreement (the “Termination Agreement”) pursuant to which the FIC Agreement was terminated. Upon execution of the termination agreement, there were no amounts outstanding under the FIC Agreement or the Promissory Notes
Revolving Credit Facility
On May 2, 2022, we entered into a Senior Secured Credit Agreement (the “Facility”). The parties to the Facility include us, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (each a “Lender” and collectively, the “Lenders”), Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation as Administrative Agent, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, as Sole Bookrunner and a Joint Lead Arranger, Truist Securities, Inc., as a Joint Lead Arranger, and Truist Bank as Documentation Agent.
The Facility is guaranteed by each of OR Tech Lending IC LLC, ORTIC BC 1 LLC and ORTIC BC 2 LLC, each a subsidiary of ours, and will be guaranteed by certain domestic subsidiaries of ours that are formed or acquired by us in the future (collectively, the “Guarantors”). Proceeds of the Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments.
The maximum principal amount of the Facility is $725 million (increased from $400.0 million to $725.0 million on June 22, 2022), subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on our portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness. Maximum capacity under the Facility may be increased to $1.8 billion through the exercise by the Company of an uncommitted accordion feature through which existing and new lenders may, at their option, agree to provide additional financing. The Facility includes a $200 million limit for swingline loans, with the aggregate principal amount of outstanding swingline loans of any swingline lender being limited to up to $50.0 million, and is secured by a perfected first-priority interest in substantially all of the portfolio investments held by us and each Guarantor, subject to certain exceptions.
The availability period under the Facility will terminate on May 1, 2026 (“Commitment Termination Date”) and the Facility will mature on April 30, 2027 (“Maturity Date”). During the period from the Commitment Termination Date to the Maturity Date, the Company will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances.
We may borrow amounts in U.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Facility in U.S. dollars will bear interest at either term SOFR plus a margin, or the prime rate plus a margin. We may elect either the term SOFR or prime rate at the time of drawdown, and loans denominated in U.S. dollars may be converted from one rate to another at any time at our option, subject to certain conditions. Amounts drawn under the Facility in other permitted currencies will bear interest at the relevant rate specified therein plus an applicable margin. We will also pay a fee of 0.375% on average daily undrawn amounts under the Facility.
