1. Applicable Purchase Price; Number of Shares; Expiration Date.
Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. (f/k/a Owl Rock Technology Income Corp.), an externally managed closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a business development company under the 1940 Act, and that is incorporated in Maryland is offering to purchase up to the number of Shares that can be repurchased with approximately $67,005,464. This represents the value of 5.00% of the aggregate number of the Company’s shares outstanding as of June 30, 2023. The purpose of the Offer is to provide shareholders with the potential for a measure of liquidity since there is otherwise no public market for our Common Stock. See Section 2 below. The Offer is for a price per Share equal to the Applicable Purchase Price. You will not receive interest on the Applicable Purchase Price under any circumstances.
If more than the number of Shares offered for repurchase are duly tendered pursuant to the Offer (and not withdrawn, as provided in Section 5 below), we may, in our sole discretion, accept the additional tendered Shares permitted to be accepted pursuant to Rule 13e-4(f)(1)(ii) under the Exchange Act, and/or repurchase Shares on a pro rata basis, in accordance with the number of Shares duly tendered by or on behalf of each shareholder (and not so withdrawn). As a result, we may repurchase less than the full amount of Shares that you request to have repurchased.
As of August 23, 2023, there were approximately 150,478,956 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, which included approximately 29,649,725, 1,894,320 and 118,934,912 shares of Class S, Class D, and Class I shares, respectively.
The Offer will remain open until 7:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on September 29, 2023 (the “Expiration Date”), unless and until we, in our discretion, extend the period of time during which the Offer will remain open. If we extend the period of time during which the Offer remains open, the term “Expiration Date” will refer to the latest time and date at which the Offer expires. See Section 14 below for a description of our rights to extend, delay, terminate and/or amend the Offer. Holders who tender Shares in this Offer will not receive dividend payments for any Shares that are purchased in the Offer with record dates after 7:00 P.M. on September 29, 2023, unless the Offer is extended.
If we materially change the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if we waive a material condition of the Offer, we will extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(d)(2) and 13e-4(e)(3) promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules require that the minimum period during which an offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the offer or information concerning the offer (other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of such terms or information. If (i) we increase or decrease the price to be paid for Shares, or we increase or decrease the number of Shares being sought and (ii) the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth (10th) business day from, and including, the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given, the Offer will be extended at least until the expiration of such period of ten (10) business days. In addition, to the extent the methodology by which we determine the Applicable Purchase Price changes following the date tender offer materials were provided to you, we will extend the Offer by at least ten (10) business days.
A “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 A.M. through 12:00 midnight, Eastern Time.
In the judgment of our Board, including the independent directors, the Offer is in the best interests of our shareholders and does not violate applicable law. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law, a Maryland corporation may not make a distribution to shareholders, including pursuant to a repurchase program, if, after giving effect to the distribution, (i) the corporation would not be able to pay its indebtedness in the ordinary course or (ii) the corporation’s total assets would be less than its total liabilities plus preferential amounts payable on dissolution with respect to preferred stock.
