Blue Owl Technology closes $150 million notes placement

The Print Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. 60% senior unsecured notes due September 3, 2032, on September 4. The deal was the company’s third financing since June 30 and brought total debt capital raised over that period to $800 million. The financing run matters because OTF’s latest per-share income remains below its regular distribution.

35. 7% of adjusted NII on a simple DFB calculation. 05 listing-related special dividend, but that payment should be kept separate from the recurring base-dividend test. OTF has already shown it can raise debt.

What remains unresolved is whether the capital structure changes and subsequent deployment can lift per-share NII enough to cover the regular dividend. Three Financings, Different Functions OTF said the September private placement brought total debt financing raised since June 30 to $800 million. 50% notes due 2029 in August, and a $250 million special-purpose-vehicle facility secured by portfolio investments. Those three transactions should not be treated as $800 million of simple incremental leverage.

The August prospectus said OTF expected to use the proceeds from the $400 million notes to pay down existing indebtedness, including borrowings under its senior secured revolving credit facility. That transaction changes the funding mix as well as the amount of capital available. 50% notes due 2029 to $900 million after an earlier $500 million issuance in June. 4 million.

4 million is not a measure of incremental interest expense. Part of the August proceeds were earmarked for debt repayment, and the effective financing cost also differs from the stated coupon because of issuance pricing and expenses. That distinction is necessary when judging what the financing eventually does to NII. 30 per share.

35 per share, payable on or before October 15. The gap is not new to the second quarter. 35 base dividend. 7% in the second.

Some balance-sheet and portfolio metrics were steadier. 49 at March 31. 1% of the portfolio at fair value. 5% a quarter earlier.

Those figures do not by themselves close the dividend gap. Operating expenses increased to $199 million from $153 million in the second quarter. OTF attributed the increase primarily to the absence of the prior quarter’s capital-gains incentive-fee reversal and modestly higher interest expense as average daily borrowings increased. 8 billion of undrawn capacity on its credit facilities.

85x in March. Management described leverage as being at the low end of its target range and said the company had more than $2 billion of available liquidity. The financing activity since quarter-end broadens the funding mix, but it also introduces new contractual financing costs. The August notes partly refinance existing debt, while the September notes and secured facility add additional sources of capital.

New investment commitments were $852 million in the second quarter, while $222 million of investments were sold or repaid. 0%. 60% bond coupon as if the difference were a net spread. Funding costs, fees, leverage, deployment timing and repayments all sit between those figures.

The next reported NII per share will provide the direct test. OTF has expanded and reshaped its funding. 35 recurring distribution. Source: Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp.
