Overview
Owl Rock Capital Corporation (the "Company", "we", "us" or "our") is aMaryland corporation formed onOctober 15, 2015 . We were formed primarily to originate and make loans to, and make debt and equity investments in,U.S. middle market companies. We invest in 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. Our investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. We are managed byOwl Rock Capital Advisors LLC ("the Adviser" or "our Adviser"). The Adviser is registered with theSEC as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940. Subject to the overall supervision of our board of directors ("the Board" or "our Board"), the Adviser manages our day-to-day operations, and provides investment advisory and management services to us. The Adviser or its affiliates may engage in certain origination activities and receive attendant arrangement, structuring or similar fees. The Adviser is responsible for managing our business and activities, including sourcing investment opportunities, conducting research, performing diligence on potential investments, structuring our investments, and monitoring our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis through a team of investment professionals. The Board consists of seven directors, four of whom are independent. OnJuly 22, 2019 , we closed our initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 10 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of$15.30 per share, and onAugust 2, 2019 , the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of$15.30 per share. Net of underwriting fees and offering costs, we received total cash proceeds of$164.0 million . Our common stock began trading on theNew York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "ORCC" onJuly 18, 2019 . In connection with the IPO, onJuly 22, 2019 , we entered into a stock repurchase plan (the "Company 10b5-1 Plan"), to acquire up to$150 million in the aggregate of our common stock at prices below its net asset value per share over a specified period, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. As ofJune 30, 2020 , we have acquired 12,515,624 shares for approximately$150 million , pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan. The Company 10b5-1 Plan commenced onAugust 19, 2019 . Subsequent toJune 30, 2020 , the 10b5-1 Plan was exhausted onAugust 4, 2020 . The Adviser also serves as investment adviser toOwl Rock Capital Corporation II. Owl Rock Capital Corporation II is a corporation formed under the laws of theState of Maryland that, like us, has elected to be treated as a business development company ("BDC") under the 1940 Act.Owl Rock Capital Corporation II's investment objective is similar to ours, which is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. As ofJune 30, 2020 , Owl Rock Capital Corporation II had raised gross proceeds of approximately$1.2 billion , including seed capital contributed by the Adviser inSeptember 2016 and approximately$10.0 million in gross proceeds raised from certain individuals and entities affiliated with the Adviser.
The Adviser is under common control with
We may be prohibited under the 1940 Act from participating in certain transactions with our affiliates without the prior approval of our directorswho are not interested persons and, in some cases, the prior approval of theSEC . We, our Adviser and certain affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by theSEC to permit us to co-invest with other funds managed by our Adviser or certain of its affiliates, including Owl Rock Capital Corporation II,Owl Rock Technology Finance Corp. and Owl Rock Capital Corporation III, in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. Pursuant to such exemptive relief, we generally are permitted to co-invest with certain of our affiliates if a "required majority" (as defined in Section 57(o) of the 1940 Act) of our independent directors make certain conclusions in connection with a co-investment transaction, including that (1) the terms of the transactions, including the consideration to be paid, are reasonable and fair to us and our shareholders and do not involve overreaching by us or our shareholders on the part of any person concerned, (2) the transaction is consistent with the interests of our shareholders and is consistent with our investment objective and strategies, and (3) the investment by our affiliates would not disadvantage us, and our participation would not be on a basis different 71 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from or less advantageous than that on which our affiliates are investing. In addition, pursuant to an exemptive order issued by theSEC onApril 8, 2020 and applicable to all BDCs, throughDecember 31, 2020 , we may, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, co-invest in our existing portfolio companies with certain other funds managed by the Adviser or its affiliates and covered by our exemptive relief, even if such other funds have not previously invested in such existing portfolio company. Without this order, affiliated funds would not be able to participate in such co-investments with us unless the affiliated funds had previously acquired securities of the portfolio company in a co-investment transaction with us. Owl Rock Advisers' allocation policy seeks to ensure equitable allocation of investment opportunities over time between us and other funds managed by our Adviser or its affiliates. As a result of the exemptive relief, there could be significant overlap in our investment portfolio and the investment portfolio of other funds established by the Adviser or its affiliates that could avail themselves of the exemptive relief. OnApril 27, 2016 , we formed a wholly-owned subsidiary,OR Lending LLC , aDelaware limited liability company, which holds aCalifornia finance lenders license. ORLending LLC makes loans to borrowers headquartered inCalifornia . For time to time we may form wholly-owned subsidiaries to facilitate our normal course of business. We have elected to be regulated as a BDC under the 1940 Act and as a regulated investment company ("RIC") for tax purposes under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). As a result, we are required to comply with various statutory and regulatory requirements, such as:
• the requirement to invest at least 70% of our assets in "qualifying
assets", as such term is defined in the 1940 Act;
• source of income limitations;
• asset diversification requirements; and
• the requirement to distribute (or be treated as distributing) in each
taxable year at least 90% of our investment company taxable income and
tax-exempt interest for that taxable year.
COVID-19 Developments
InMarch 2020 , the outbreak of COVID -19 was recognized as a pandemic by theWorld Health Organization . Shortly thereafter, the President ofthe United States declared a National Emergency throughoutthe United States attributable to such outbreak. The outbreak has become increasingly widespread inthe United States , including in the markets in which the Company operates, and in response to the outbreak, our Adviser instituted a work from home policy until it is deemed safe to return to the office. We have and continue to assess the impact of COVID-19 on our portfolio companies. We cannot predict the full impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, including its duration inthe United States and worldwide, the effectiveness of governmental responses designed to mitigate strain to businesses and the economy and the magnitude of the economic impact of the outbreak, including with respect to the travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures imposed on service providers and other individuals by various local, state, and federal governmental authorities, as well as non-U.S. governmental authorities. While several countries, as well as certain states inthe United States , have begun to lift travel restrictions, business closures and other quarantine measures with a view to reopening their economies, recurring COVID-19 outbreaks have led to the re-introduction of such restrictions in certain states inthe United States and globally and could continue to lead to the re-introduction of such restrictions elsewhere. As such, we are unable to predict the duration of any business and supply-chain disruptions, the extent to which COVID-19 will negatively affect our portfolio companies' operating results or the impact that such disruptions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Though the magnitude of the impact remains to be seen, we expect our portfolio companies and, by extension, our operating results to be adversely impacted by COVID-19 and depending on the duration and extent of the disruption to the operations of our portfolio companies, we expect that certain portfolio companies will experience financial distress and possibly default on their financial obligations to us and their other capital providers. Some of our portfolio companies have significantly curtailed business operations, furloughed or laid off employees and terminated service providers and deferred capital expenditures, which could impair their business on a permanent basis and we except that additional portfolio companies may take similar actions. We have built out our portfolio management team to include workout experts and continue to closely monitor our portfolio companies, which includes assessing each portfolio company's operational and liquidity exposure and outlook. We have executed amendments to our loan documents which provide covenant modifications or additional liquidity, sometimes by allowing a portion of our loan to be paid in PIK rather than cash and in connection with these amendments we may receive increased economics. Any of these developments would likely result in a decrease in the value of our investment in any such portfolio company. In addition, to the extent that the impact to our portfolio companies results in reduced interest payments or permanent impairments on our investments, we could see a decrease in our net investment income which could result in an increase in the percentage of our cash flows dedicated to our debt obligations and could require us to reduce the future amount of distributions to our shareholders. During the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , we experienced a decrease in originations, which reflects the lower levels of private equity deal activity in that time period. For the three months endingSeptember 30, 2020 , we expect the performance of our portfolio companies to continue to be impacted by COVID-19 and the related economic slowdown, and therefore, while we have 72 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- highlighted our liquidity and available capital, we are focused on preserving that capital for our existing portfolio companies in order to protect the value of our investments. Our Investment Framework We are aMaryland corporation organized primarily to originate and make loans to, and make debt and equity investments in,U.S. middle market companies. Our investment objective is to generate current income, and to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investment opportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. Since our Adviser and its affiliates began investment activities inApril 2016 throughJune 30, 2020 , our Adviser and its affiliates have originated$22.0 billion aggregate principal amount of investments, of which$20.4 billion of aggregate principal amount of investments prior to any subsequent exits or repayments, was retained by either us or a corporation or fund advised by our Adviser or its affiliates. We seek to generate current income primarily inU.S. middle market companies through direct originations of senior secured loans or originations of unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, investments in equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity. We define "middle market companies" generally to mean companies with earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, or "EBITDA," between$10 million and$250 million annually and/or annual revenue of$50 million to$2.5 billion at the time of investment, although we may on occasion invest in smaller or larger companies if an opportunity presents itself. We generally seek to invest in companies with a loan-to-value ratio of 50% or below. We expect that generally our portfolio composition will be majority debt or income producing securities, which may include "covenant-lite" loans (as defined below), with a lesser allocation to equity or equity-linked opportunities. In addition, we may invest a portion of our portfolio in opportunistic investments, which will not be our primary focus, but will be intended to enhance returns to our Shareholders. These investments may include high-yield bonds and broadly-syndicated loans. In addition, we generally do not intend to invest more than 20% of our total assets in companies whose principal place of business is outsidethe United States , although we do not generally intend to invest in companies whose principal place of business is in an emerging market. Our portfolio composition may fluctuate from time to time based on market conditions and interest rates. Covenants are contractual restrictions that lenders place on companies to limit the corporate actions a company may pursue. Generally, the loans in which we expect to invest will have financial maintenance covenants, which are used to proactively address materially adverse changes in a portfolio company's financial performance. However, to a lesser extent, we may invest in "covenant-lite" loans. We use the term "covenant-lite" to refer generally to loans that do not have a complete set of financial maintenance covenants. Generally, "covenant-lite" loans provide borrower companies more freedom to negatively impact lenders because their covenants are incurrence-based, which means they are only tested and can only be breached following an affirmative action of the borrower, rather than by a deterioration in the borrower's financial condition. Accordingly, to the extent we invest in "covenant-lite" loans, we may have fewer rights against a borrower and may have a greater risk of loss on such investments as compared to investments in or exposure to loans with financial maintenance covenants. As ofJune 30, 2020 , our average debt investment size in each of our portfolio companies was approximately$90.7 million based on fair value. As ofJune 30, 2020 , our portfolio companies, excluding the investment inSebago Lake and certain investments that fall outside of our typical borrower profile and represent 96.6% of our total portfolio based on fair value, had weighted average annual revenue of$449 million and weighted average annual EBITDA of$93 million . The companies in which we invest use our capital to support their growth, acquisitions, market or product expansion, refinancings and/or recapitalizations. The debt in which we invest typically is not rated by any rating agency, but if these instruments were rated, they would likely receive a rating of below investment grade (that is, below BBB- or Baa3), which is often referred to as "high yield" or "junk".
Key Components of Our Results of Operations
Investments
We focus primarily on the direct origination of loans to middle market companies
domiciled in
Our level of investment activity (both the number of investments and the size of
each investment) can and will vary substantially from period to period depending
on many factors, including the amount of debt and equity capital available to
middle market companies, the level of merger and acquisition activity for such
companies, the general economic environment and the competitive environment for
the types of investments we make.
73
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------In addition, as part of our risk strategy on investments, we may reduce the levels of certain investments through partial sales or syndication to additional lenders.
Revenues We generate revenues primarily in the form of interest income from the investments we hold. In addition, we may generate income from dividends on either direct equity investments or equity interests obtained in connection with originating loans, such as options, warrants or conversion rights. Our debt investments typically have a term of three to ten years. As ofJune 30, 2020 , 98.7% of our debt investments based on fair value bear interest at a floating rate, subject to interest rate floors, in certain cases. Interest on our debt investments is generally payable either monthly or quarterly. Our investment portfolio consists primarily of floating rate loans, and our credit facilities bear interest at floating rates. Macro trends in base interest rates like London Interbank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") may affect our net investment income over the long term. However, because we generally originate loans to a small number of portfolio companies each quarter, and those investments vary in size, our results in any given period, including the interest rate on investments that were sold or repaid in a period compared to the interest rate of new investments made during that period, often are idiosyncratic, and reflect the characteristics of the particular portfolio companies that we invested in or exited during the period and not necessarily any trends in our business or macro trends. Loan origination fees, original issue discount and market discount or premium are capitalized, and we accrete or amortize such amounts underU.S. GAAP as interest income using the effective yield method for term instruments and the straight-line method for revolving or delayed draw instruments. Repayments of our debt investments can reduce interest income from period to period. The frequency or volume of these repayments may fluctuate significantly. We record prepayment premiums on loans as interest income. We may also generate revenue in the form of commitment, loan origination, structuring, or due diligence fees, fees for providing managerial assistance to our portfolio companies and possibly consulting fees.
Dividend income on equity investments is recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the ex-dividend date for publicly traded companies.
Our portfolio activity also reflects the proceeds from sales of investments. We recognize realized gains or losses on investments based on the difference between the net proceeds from the disposition and the amortized cost basis of the investment without regard to unrealized gains or losses previously recognized. We record current period changes in fair value of investments that are measured at fair value as a component of the net change in unrealized gains (losses) on investments in the consolidated statement of operations.
Expenses
Our primary operating expenses include the payment of the management fee and, when the incentive fee waiver expires, the incentive fee, and expenses reimbursable under the Administration Agreement and Investment Advisory Agreement. The management fee and incentive fee compensate our Adviser for work in identifying, evaluating, negotiating, closing, monitoring and realizing our investments. The incentive fee waiver expires inOctober 2020 and our Adviser does not intend to extend or renew the fee waiver at that time. Except as specifically provided below, all investment professionals and staff of the Adviser, when and to the extent engaged in providing investment advisory and management services to us, the base compensation, bonus and benefits, and the routine overhead expenses of such personnel allocable to such services, are provided and paid for by the Adviser. We bear our allocable portion of the compensation paid by the Adviser (or its affiliates) to our Chief Compliance Officer and Chief Financial Officer and their respective staffs (based on a percentage of time such individuals devote, on an estimated basis, to our business affairs). We bear all other costs and expenses of our operations, administration and transactions, including, but not limited to (i) investment advisory fees, including management fees and incentive fees, to the Adviser, pursuant to the Investment Advisory Agreement; (ii) our allocable portion of overhead and other expenses incurred by the Adviser in performing its administrative obligations under the Administration Agreement; and (iii) all other costs and expenses of its operations and transactions including, without limitation, those relating to:
• the cost of our organization and offerings;
• the cost of calculating our net asset value, including the cost of any
third-party valuation services;
• the cost of effecting any sales and repurchases of our common stock and
other securities;
• fees and expenses payable under any dealer manager agreements, if any;
• debt service and other costs of borrowings or other financing arrangements;
• costs of hedging;
• expenses, including travel expense, incurred by the Adviser, or members
of the investment team, or payable to third parties, performing due
diligence on prospective portfolio companies and, if necessary, enforcing
our rights;
• transfer agent and custodial fees;
74
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
• fees and expenses associated with marketing efforts;
• federal and state registration fees, any stock exchange listing fees and
fees payable to rating agencies;
• federal, state and local taxes;
• independent directors' fees and expenses including certain travel expenses;
• costs of preparing financial statements and maintaining books and records
and filing reports or other documents with the
bodies) and other reporting and compliance costs, including registration
and listing fees, and the compensation of professionals responsible for
the preparation of the foregoing;
• the costs of any reports, proxy statements or other notices to our
shareholders (including printing and mailing costs), the costs of any
shareholder or director meetings and the compensation of investorrelations personnel responsible for the preparation of the foregoing and
related matters;
• commissions and other compensation payable to brokers or dealers;
• research and market data;
• fidelity bond, directors' and officers' errors and omissions liability
insurance and other insurance premiums;
• direct costs and expenses of administration, including printing, mailing,
long distance telephone and staff;
• fees and expenses associated with independent audits, outside legal and
consulting costs;
• costs of winding up;
• costs incurred in connection with the formation or maintenance of
entities or vehicles to hold our assets for tax or other purposes;
• extraordinary expenses (such as litigation or indemnification); and
• costs associated with reporting and compliance obligations under the 1940
Act and applicable federal and state securities laws.
We expect, but cannot assure, that our general and administrative expenses will increase in dollar terms during periods of asset growth, but will decline as a percentage of total assets during such periods.
Leverage
The amount of leverage we use in any period depends on a variety of factors, including cash available for investing, the cost of financing and general economic and market conditions. Generally, our total borrowings are limited so that we cannot incur additional borrowings, including through the issuance of additional debt securities, if such additional indebtedness would cause our asset coverage ratio to fall below 200% or 150%, if certain requirements are met. This means that generally, we can borrow up to$1 for every$1 of investor equity (or, if certain conditions are met, we can borrow up to$2 for every$1 of investor equity). In any period, our interest expense will depend largely on the extent of our borrowing, and we expect interest expense will increase as we increase our debt outstanding. In addition, we may dedicate assets to financing facilities. OnMarch 31, 2020 , our Board, including a "required majority" (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of our Board, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. OnJune 8, 2020 , the date of our shareholder meeting, we received shareholder approval for the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, effective onJune 9, 2020 , our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150% and our current target ratio is 0.90x-1.25x.
Market Trends
We believe the middle-market lending environment provides opportunities for us to meet our goal of making investments that generate attractive risk-adjusted returns based on a combination of the following factors, which continue to remain true in the current environment, with the economic shutdown resulting from the COVID-19 national health emergency. Limited Availability of Capital for Middle-Market Companies. We believe that regulatory and structural changes in the market have reduced the amount of capital available toU.S. middle-market companies. In particular, we believe there are currently fewer providers of capital to middle market companies. We believe that many commercial and investment banks have, in recent years, de-emphasized their service and product offerings to middle-market businesses in favor of lending to large corporate clients and managing capital markets transactions. In addition, these lenders may be constrained in their ability to underwrite and hold bank loans and high yield securities for middle-market issuers as they seek to meet existing and future regulatory capital requirements. We also believe that there is a lack of market participants that are willing to hold meaningful amounts of certain middle-market loans. As a 75 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
result, we believe our ability to minimize syndication risk for a company seeking financing by being able to hold its loans without having to syndicate them, coupled with reduced capacity of traditional lenders to serve the middle-market, present an attractive opportunity to invest in middle-market companies.
Capital Markets Have Been Unable to Fill the Void inU.S. Middle Market Finance Left by Banks. While underwritten bond and syndicated loan markets have been robust in recent years, middle market companies are less able to access these markets for reasons including the following: High Yield Market - Middle market companies generally are not issuing debt in an amount large enough to be an attractively sized bond. High yield bonds are generally purchased by institutional investorswho , among other things, are focused on the liquidity characteristics of the bond being issued. For example, mutual funds and exchange traded funds ("ETFs") are significant buyers of underwritten bonds. However, mutual funds and ETFs generally require the ability to liquidate their investments quickly in order to fund investor redemptions and/or comply with regulatory requirements. Accordingly, the existence of an active secondary market for bonds is an important consideration in these entities' initial investment decision. Because there is typically little or no active secondary market for the debt ofU.S. middle market companies, mutual funds and ETFs generally do not provide debt capital toU.S. middle market companies. We believe this is likely to be a persistent problem and creates an advantage for those like uswho have a more stable capital base and have the ability to invest in illiquid assets. Syndicated Loan Market - While the syndicated loan market is modestly more accommodating to middle market issuers, as with bonds, loan issue size and liquidity are key drivers of institutional appetite and, correspondingly, underwriters' willingness to underwrite the loans. Loans arranged through a bank are done either on a "best efforts" basis or are underwritten with terms plus provisions that permit the underwriters to change certain terms, including pricing, structure, yield and tenor, otherwise known as "flex", to successfully syndicate the loan, in the event the terms initially marketed are insufficiently attractive to investors. Furthermore, banks are generally reluctant to underwrite middle market loans because the arrangement fees they may earn on the placement of the debt generally are not sufficient to meet the banks' return hurdles. Loans provided by companies such as ours provide certainty to issuers in that we can commit to a given amount of debt on specific terms, at stated coupons and with agreed upon fees. As we are the ultimate holder of the loans, we do not require market "flex" or other arrangements that banks may require when acting on an agency basis. Robust Demand forDebt Capital . We believeU.S. middle market companies will continue to require access to debt capital to refinance existing debt, support growth and finance acquisitions. In addition, we believe the large amount of uninvested capital held by funds of private equity firms, estimated byPreqin Ltd. , an alternative assets industry data and research company, to be$1.5 trillion as ofDecember 2019 , will continue to drive deal activity. We expect that private equity sponsors will continue to pursue acquisitions and leverage their equity investments with secured loans provided by companies such as us. The Middle Market is a Large Addressable Market. According toGE Capital's National Center for the Middle Market 2nd quarter 2020 Middle Market Indicator, there are approximately 200,000U.S. middle market companies, which have approximately 48 million aggregate employees. Moreover, theU.S. middle market accounts for one-third of private sector gross domestic product ("GDP").GE definesU.S. middle market companies as those between$10 million and$1 billion in annual revenue, which we believe has significant overlap with our definition ofU.S. middle market companies. Attractive Investment Dynamics. An imbalance between the supply of, and demand for, middle market debt capital creates attractive pricing dynamics. We believe the directly negotiated nature of middle market financings also generally provides more favorable terms to the lender, including stronger covenant and reporting packages, better call protection, and lender-protective change of control provisions. Additionally, we believe BDC managers' expertise in credit selection and ability to manage through credit cycles has generally resulted in BDCs experiencing lower loss rates thanU.S. commercial banks through credit cycles. Further, we believe that historical middle market default rates have been lower, and recovery rates have been higher, as compared to the larger market capitalization, broadly distributed market, leading to lower cumulative losses. Lastly, we believe that in the current environment, with the economic shutdown resulting from the COVID-19 national health emergency, lenders with available capital may be able to take advantage of attractive investment opportunities as the economy re-opens and may be able to achieve improved economic spreads and documentation terms. Conservative Capital Structures. Following the credit crisis, which we define broadly as occurring between mid-2007 and mid-2009, lenders have generally required borrowers to maintain more equity as a percentage of their total capitalization, specifically to protect lenders during economic downturns. With more conservative capital structures,U.S. middle market companies have exhibited higher levels of cash flows available to service their debt. In addition,U.S. middle market companies often are characterized by simpler capital structures than larger borrowers, which facilitates a streamlined underwriting process and, when necessary, restructuring process. Attractive Opportunities in Investments in Loans. We invest in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities. We believe that opportunities in senior secured loans are significant because of the floating rate structure of most senior secured debt issuances and because of the strong defensive characteristics of these types of investments. Given the current low interest rate environment, we believe that debt issues with floating 76 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- interest rates offer a superior return profile as compared with fixed-rate investments, since floating rate structures are generally less susceptible to declines in value experienced by fixed-rate securities in a rising interest rate environment. Senior secured debt also provides strong defensive characteristics. Senior secured debt has priority in payment among an issuer's security holders whereby holders are due to receive payment before junior creditors and equity holders. Further, these investments are secured by the issuer's assets, which may provide protection in the event of a default.
Portfolio and Investment Activity
As ofJune 30, 2020 , based on fair value, our portfolio consisted of 80.2% first lien senior secured debt investments (of which 40% we consider to be unitranche debt investments (including "last out" portions of such loans)), 17.1% second lien senior secured debt investments, 0.1% unsecured notes, 1.5% equity investments, and 1.1% investment funds and vehicles. As ofJune 30, 2020 , our weighted average total yield of the portfolio at fair value and amortized cost was 7.7% and 7.5%, respectively, and our weighted average yield of accruing debt and income producing securities at fair value and amortized cost was 7.9% and 7.7%, respectively.
As of

producing securities Weighted average interest rate of accruing 7.3 % 8.1 % debt securities Weighted average spread over LIBOR of all 6.3 % 6.3 % accruing floating rate investments The weighted average yield of our accruing debt and income producing securities is not the same as a return on investment for our shareholders but, rather, relates to our investment portfolio and is calculated before the payment of all of our and our subsidiaries' fees and expenses. The weighted average yield was computed using the effective interest rates as of each respective date, including accretion of original issue discount and loan origination fees, but excluding investments on non-accrual status, if any. There can be no assurance that the weighted average yield will remain at its current level. Our Adviser monitors our portfolio companies on an ongoing basis. It monitors the financial trends of each portfolio company to determine if they are meeting their respective business plans and to assess the appropriate course of action with respect to each portfolio company. Our Adviser has several methods of evaluating and monitoring the performance and fair value of our investments, which may include the following:
• assessment of success of the portfolio company in adhering to its
business plan and compliance with covenants;
• periodic and regular contact with portfolio company management and, if
appropriate, the financial or strategic sponsor, to discuss financial
position, requirements and accomplishments;
• comparisons to other companies in the portfolio company's industry; and
• review of monthly or quarterly financial statements and financialprojections for portfolio companies.
As part of the monitoring process, our Adviser employs an investment rating
system to categorize our investments. In addition to various risk management and
monitoring tools, our Adviser rates the credit risk of all investments on a
scale of 1 to 5. This system is intended primarily to reflect the underlying
risk of a portfolio investment relative to our initial cost basis in respect of
such portfolio investment (i.e., at the time of origination or acquisition),
although it may also take into account the performance of the portfolio
company's business, the collateral coverage of the investment and other relevant
factors. The rating system is as follows:
Investment Rating Description
1 Investments rated 1 involve the least amount of risk to our
initial cost basis. The borrower is performing above
expectations, and the trends and risk factors for this
investment since origination or acquisition are generally
favorable;
2 Investments rated 2 involve an acceptable level of risk that is
similar to the risk at the time of origination or acquisition.
The borrower is generally performing as expected and the risk
factors are neutral to favorable. All investments or acquired
investments in new portfolio companies are initially assessed a
rating of 2;
3 Investments rated 3 involve a borrower performing below
expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has increased
somewhat since origination or acquisition;
4 Investments rated 4 involve a borrower performing materially
below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has
increased materially since origination or acquisition. In
addition to the borrower being generally out of compliance with
debt covenants, loan payments may be past due (but generally not
more than 120 days past due); and
5 Investments rated 5 involve a borrower performing substantially
below expectations and indicates that the loan's risk has
increased substantially since origination or acquisition. Most
or all of the debt covenants are out of compliance and payments
are substantially delinquent. Loans rated 5 are not anticipated
to be repaid in full and we will reduce the fair market value of
the loan to the amount we anticipate will be recovered.
80
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Our Adviser rates the investments in our portfolio at least quarterly and it is possible that the rating of a portfolio investment may be reduced or increased over time. For investments rated 3, 4 or 5, our Adviser enhances its level of scrutiny over the monitoring of such portfolio company.

Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt
that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is
generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest
payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to
principal depending upon management's judgment regarding collectability.
Non-accrual loans are restored to accrual status when past due principal and
interest is paid current and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain
current. Management may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not
place a loan on non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value
and is in the process of collection.
Sebago Lake, aDelaware limited liability company, was formed as a joint venture between us and The Regents of theUniversity of California ("Regents") and commenced operations onJune 20, 2017 . Sebago Lake's principal purpose is to make investments, primarily in senior secured loans that are made to middle-market companies or in broadly syndicated loans. Both we and Regents (the "Members") have a 50% economic ownership inSebago Lake . Except under certain circumstances, contributions to Sebago Lake cannot be redeemed. Each of the Members initially agreed to contribute up to$100 million to Sebago Lake. OnJuly 26, 2018 , each of the Members increased their contribution to Sebago Lake up to an aggregate of$125 million . As ofJune 30, 2020 , each Member has funded$107.8 million of their respective$125 million commitments. Sebago Lake is managed by the Members, each of which have equal voting rights. Investment decisions must be approved by each of the Members. We have determined that Sebago Lake is an investment company under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 946, however, in accordance with such guidance, we will generally not consolidate its investment in a company other than a wholly owned investment company subsidiary or a controlled operating company whose business consists of providing services to the Company. Accordingly, we do not consolidate our non-controlling interest inSebago Lake . 81 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ofJune 30, 2020 andDecember 31, 2019 , Sebago Lake had total investments in senior secured debt at fair value of$540.1 million and$478.5 million , respectively. The determination of fair value is in accordance with ASC 820; however, such fair value is not included in our Board's valuation process.

Loan Origination and Structuring Fees
If the loan origination and structuring fees earned by Sebago Lake during a fiscal period exceed Sebago Lake's expenses and other obligations (excluding financing costs), such excess is allocated to the Member(s) responsible for the origination of the loans pro rata in accordance with the total loan origination and structuring fees earned by Sebago Lake with respect to the loans originated by such Member; provided, that in no event will the amount allocated to a Member exceed 1% of the par value of the loans originated by such Member in any fiscal year. The loan origination and structuring fee is accrued quarterly and included in other income from controlled, affiliated investments on our Consolidated Statements of Operations and paid annually. OnFebruary 27, 2019 , the Members agreed to amend the terms of Sebago Lake's operating agreement to eliminate the allocation of excess loan origination and structuring fees to the Members. As such, for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, we accrued no income based on loan origination and structuring fees.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Investment Income
Investment income for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Interest income from investments $ 183.2 $ 171.4 $ 381.6 $ 317.8 Dividend income 3.2 2.6 5.4 5.3 Other income 3.8 2.1 7.9 4.5 Total investment income $ 190.2 $ 176.1 $ 394.9 $ 327.6
For the three months ended
Investment income increased to$190.2 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 from$176.1 million for the same period in prior year primarily due to an increase in our investment portfolio, which, at par, increased from$7.4 billion as ofJune 30, 2019 , to$9.7 billion as ofJune 30, 2020 , partially offset by a decrease in our portfolio's weighted average yield at amortized cost from 9.1% as ofJune 30, 2019 to 7.5% as ofJune 30, 2020 . Included in interest income are other fees such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns. Period over period, income generated from these fees decreased, which is attributed to the decreased repayment activity in the current period, to$3.0 million , from$11.6 million , for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For the three months endedJune 30, 2020 payment-in-kind income represented approximately 6% of investment income. For the three months endedJune 30, 2019 , payment-in-kind income represented less than 5% of investment income. Other income increased period-over-period due to an increase in incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to us as a result of closing investments and normally paid at the time of closing. We expect that investment income will continue to increase provided that our investment portfolio continues to increase.
For the six months ended
Investment income increased to$394.9 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 from$327.6 million for the same period in prior year primarily due to an increase in our investment portfolio, which, at par, increased from$7.4 billion as ofJune 30, 2019 , to$9.7 billion as ofJune 30, 2020 , partially offset by a decrease in our portfolio's weighted average yield at amortized cost from 9.1% as ofJune 30, 2019 to 7.5% as ofJune 30, 2020 . Included in interest income are other fees such as prepayment fees and accelerated amortization of upfront fees from unscheduled paydowns. Period over period, income generated from these fees were relatively flat, which is attributed to the similar repayment activity in the current period, to$12.8 million , from$12.0 million , for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. For both the six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, payment-in-kind income represented less than 5% of investment income. Other income increased period-over-period due to an increase in incremental fee income, which are fees that are generally available to us as a result of closing investments and normally paid at the time of closing. We expect that investment income will continue to increase provided that our investment portfolio continues to increase.
Expenses
Expenses for the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019 were as follows: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019 Interest expense $ 39.2 $ 36.9 $ 73.1 $ 71.6 Management fee 34.6 15.5 68.4 30.6 Performance based incentive 22.6 - 48.2 - fees Professional fees 3.3 2.3 6.5 4.5 Directors' fees 0.2 0.1 0.4 0.3 Other general and 1.7 1.9 3.9 3.5 administrative Total operating expenses $ 101.6 $ 56.7 $ 200.5 $ 110.5 Management and incentive (39.9 ) - (82.4 ) - fees waived Net operating expenses $ 61.7 $ 56.7 $ 118.1 $ 110.5 Under the terms of the Administration Agreement, we reimburse the Adviser for services performed for us. In addition, pursuant to the terms of the Administration Agreement, the Adviser may delegate its obligations under the Administration Agreement to an affiliate or to a third party and we reimburse the Adviser for any services performed for us by such affiliate or third party. 88 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the three months ended
Total expenses, after the effect of management and incentive fee waivers, increased to$61.7 million for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 from$56.7 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in management, professional fees and interest expense. Management fees, net of the fee waiver increased$1.8 million period over period due to an increase in assets to$9.5 billion as ofJune 30, 2020 as compared to assets of$7.5 billion as ofJune 30, 2019 . As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent period over period. The increase in interest expense of$2.3 million was primarily driven by an increase in average daily borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate from 5.0% to 3.6%.
For the six months ended
Total expenses, after the effect of management and incentive fee waivers, increased to$118.1 million for the six months endedJune 30, 2020 from$110.5 million for the same period in the prior year primarily due to an increase in management, professional fees and interest expense. Management fees, net of the fee waiver increased$3.6 million period over period due to an increase in assets to$9.5 billion as ofJune 30, 2020 as compared to assets of$7.5 billion as ofJune 30, 2019 . As a percentage of total assets, professional fees, directors' fees and other general and administrative expenses remained relatively consistent period over period. The increase in interest expense of$1.5 million was primarily driven by an increase in average daily borrowings, partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rate from 4.8% to 3.9%.
Income Taxes, Including Excise Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a RIC under Subchapter M of the Code, and we intend to operate in a manner so as to continue to qualify for the tax treatment applicable to RICs. To qualify for tax treatment as a RIC, we must, among other things, distribute to our shareholders in each taxable year generally at least 90% of our investment company taxable income, as defined by the Code, and net tax-exempt income for that taxable year. To maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we, among other things, intend to make the requisite distributions to our shareholders, which generally relieves us from corporate-levelU.S. federal income taxes. Depending on the level of taxable income earned in a tax year, we can be expected to carry forward taxable income (including net capital gains, if any) in excess of current year dividend distributions from the current tax year into the next tax year and pay a nondeductible 4%U.S. federal excise tax on such taxable income, as required. To the extent that we determine that our estimated current year annual taxable income will be in excess of estimated current year dividend distributions from such income, we will accrue excise tax on estimated excess taxable income. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 , we recorded expenses (benefit) of$(0.7) million and$1.4 million forU.S. federal excise tax, respectively. For the three and six months endedJune 30, 2019 , we recorded expenses of$(0.2) million and$1.5 million forU.S. federal excise tax, respectively.
Net Unrealized Gains (Losses)
We fair value our portfolio investments quarterly and any changes in fair value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses. During the three and six months endedJune 30, 2020 and 2019, net unrealized gains (losses) were comprised of the following: For the Three Months Ended June 30, For the Six Months Ended June 30, ($ in millions) 2020 2019 2020 2019

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For the three months ended
For the three months endedJune 30, 2020 , the net unrealized gain was primarily driven by an increase in the fair value of our debt investments as compared toMarch 31, 2020 . As ofJune 30, 2020 , the fair value of our debt investments as a percentage of principal was 95.1%, as compared to 93.5% as ofMarch 31, 2020 . The primary driver of our portfolio's unrealized gains for the three months endedJune 30, 2020 was due to improved market conditions and tightening of credit spreads as business began to reopen and the government provided fiscal stimulus to support the economy.

Realized Gross Internal Rate of Return
Since we began investing in 2016 throughJune 30, 2020 , our exited investments have resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized gross internal rate of return to us of over 11.7% (based on total capital invested of$2.6 billion and total proceeds from these exited investments of$2.9 billion ). Over seventy percent of these exited investments resulted in an aggregate cash flow realized gross internal rate of return ("IRR") to us of 10% or greater. IRR, is a measure of our discounted cash flows (inflows and outflows). Specifically, IRR is the discount rate at which the net present value of all cash flows is equal to zero. That is, IRR is the discount rate at which the present value of total capital invested in each of our investments is equal to the present value of all realized returns from that investment. Our IRR calculations are unaudited. Capital invested, with respect to an investment, represents the aggregate cost basis allocable to the realized or unrealized portion of the investment, net of any upfront fees paid at closing for the term loan portion of the investment. Realized returns, with respect to an investment, represents the total cash received with respect to each investment, including all amortization payments, interest, dividends, prepayment fees, upfront fees (except upfront fees paid at closing for the term loan portion of an investment), administrative fees, agent fees, amendment fees, accrued interest, and other fees and proceeds. Gross IRR, with respect to an investment, is calculated based on the dates that we invested capital and dates we received distributions, regardless of when we made distributions to our shareholders. Initial investments are assumed to occur at time zero. Gross IRR reflects historical results relating to our past performance and is not necessarily indicative of our future results. In addition, gross IRR does not reflect the effect of management fees, expenses, incentive fees or taxes borne, or to be borne, by us or our shareholders, and would be lower if it did. Aggregate cash flow realized gross IRR on our exited investments reflects only invested and realized cash amounts as described above, and does not reflect any unrealized gains or losses in our portfolio.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our liquidity and capital resources are generated primarily from cash flows from interest, dividends and fees earned from our investments and principal repayments, our credit facilities and other debt. We may also generate cash flow from operations, future borrowings and future offerings of securities including public and/or private issuances of debt and/or equity securities through both registered offerings off of our shelf registration statement and private offerings. The primary uses of our cash are (i) investments in portfolio companies and other investments and to comply with certain portfolio diversification requirements, (ii) the cost of operations (including paying or reimbursing our Adviser), (iii) debt service, repayment and other financing costs of any borrowings and (iv) cash distributions to the holders of our shares. We may from time to time enter into additional debt facilities, increase the size of our existing credit facilities or issue additional debt securities. Any such incurrence or issuance would be subject to prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual and regulatory restrictions and other factors. In accordance with the 1940 Act, with certain limited exceptions, we are only allowed to incur borrowings, issue debt securities or issue preferred stock, if immediately after the borrowing or issuance, the ratio of total assets (less total liabilities other than indebtedness) to total indebtedness plus preferred stock, is at least 200% (or 150% if certain conditions are met). OnMarch 31, 2020 , our Board, including a "required majority" (as such term is defined in Section 57(o) of the Investment Company Act) of our Board, approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. OnJune 8, 2020 , the date of our shareholder meeting, we received shareholder approval for the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in Section 61(a)(2) of the 1940 Act, as amended by the Small Business Credit Availability Act. As a result, effective onJune 9, 2020 , our asset coverage requirement applicable to senior securities was reduced from 200% to 150% and our current target ratio is 0.90x-1.25x. 91 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- As ofJune 30, 2020 andDecember 31, 2019 , our asset coverage ratio was 247% and 293%, respectively. We seek to carefully consider our unfunded commitments for the purpose of planning our ongoing financial leverage. Further, we maintain sufficient borrowing capacity within the 150% asset coverage limitation to cover any outstanding unfunded commitments we are required to fund. Cash and restricted cash as ofJune 30, 2020 , taken together with our available debt, is expected to be sufficient for our investing activities and to conduct our operations in the near term. As ofJune 30, 2020 , we had$1.7 billion available under our credit facilities. As ofJune 30, 2020 , we had$188.0 million in cash and restricted cash. During the six months endedJune 30, 2020 , we used$0.2 billion in cash for operating activities, primarily as a result of funding portfolio investments of$1.4 billion , partially offset by sell downs and repayments of$0.8 billion and other operating activity of$0.4 billion . Lastly, cash provided by financing activities was$0.1 billion during the period, which was the result of net borrowings on our credit facilities of$0.5 billion , partially offset by repurchase of common stock under the Company 10b5-1 Plan of$0.2 billion and distributions paid of$0.2 billion .

IPO, Subscriptions and Drawdowns
We have the authority to issue 500,000,000 common shares at
OnJuly 22, 2019 , we closed our initial public offering ("IPO"), issuing 10 million shares of our common stock at a public offering price of$15.30 per share, and onAugust 2, 2019 , the underwriters exercised their option to purchase an additional 1.5 million shares of common stock at a purchase price of$15.30 per share. Net of underwriting fees and offering costs, we received total cash proceeds of$164.0 million . Our common stock began trading on theNew York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "ORCC" onJuly 18, 2019 . OnJuly 7, 2019 , our Board of Directors determined to eliminate any outstanding fractional shares of our common stock (the "Fractional Shares"), as permitted by the Maryland General Corporation Law and onJuly 8, 2019 , we eliminated such Fractional Shares by rounding down the number of Fractional Shares held by each shareholder to the nearest whole share and paying each shareholder cash for such Fractional Shares based on a price of$15.27 per whole share. Prior toMarch 2, 2018 , we entered into subscription agreements (the "Subscription Agreements") with investors providing for the private placement of our common shares. Under the terms of the Subscription Agreements, investors were required to fund drawdowns to purchase our common shares up to the amount of their respective Capital Commitment on an as-needed basis each time we delivered a drawdown notice to our investors. As ofJune 4, 2019 , all Capital Commitments had been drawn.

a shareholder was limited in its ability to transfer (whether by sale, gift,
merger, by operation of law or otherwise), exchange, assign, pledge, hypothecate
or otherwise dispose of or encumber any shares of common stock held by such
shareholder prior to the date of the IPO. Currently, because our IPO was more
than 365 days ago, shares of our common stock held by a shareholder prior to the
date of the IPO, are no longer subject to contractual restrictions. However, the
Adviser, our directors and Mr. Lipschultz have agreed for a period of 540 days

Dividend Reinvestment
We have adopted a dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which we will reinvest
all cash distributions declared by the Board on behalf of our shareholders who
do not elect to receive their distribution in cash as provided below. As a
result, if the Board authorizes, and we declare, a cash dividend or other
distribution, then our shareholders who have not opted out of our dividend
reinvestment plan will have their cash distributions automatically reinvested in
additional shares of our common stock as described below, rather than receiving
the cash dividend or other distribution. Any fractional share otherwise issuable
to a participant in the dividend reinvestment plan will instead be paid in cash.
Prior to our IPO, the number of shares to be issued to a shareholder under the
dividend reinvestment plan was determined by dividing the total dollar amount of
the distribution payable to such shareholder by the net asset value per share of
our common stock, as of the last day of our calendar quarter immediately
preceding the date such distribution was declared.
In connection with our IPO, we entered into our second amended and restated
dividend reinvestment plan, pursuant to which, if newly issued shares are used
to implement the dividend reinvestment plan, the number of shares to be issued
to a shareholder will be determined by dividing the total dollar amount of the
cash dividend or distribution payable to a shareholder by the market price per
share of our common stock at the close of regular trading on the New York Stock
Exchange on the payment date of a distribution, or if no sale is reported for
such day, the average of the reported bid and ask prices. However, if the market
price per share on the payment date of a cash dividend or distribution exceeds
the most recently computed net asset value per share, we will issue shares at
the greater of (i) the most recently computed net asset value per share and (ii)
95% of the current market price per share (or such lesser discount to the
current market price per share that still exceeded the most recently computed
net asset value per share). For example, if the most recently computed net asset
value per share is $15.00 and the market price on the payment date of a cash
dividend is $14.00 per share, we will issue shares at $14.00 per share. If the
most recently computed net asset value per share is $15.00 and the market price
on the payment date of a cash dividend is $16.00 per share, we will issue shares
at $15.20 per share (95% of the current market price). If the most recently
computed net asset value per share is $15.00 and the market price on the payment
date of a cash dividend is $15.50 per share, we will issue shares at $15.00 per

Stock Repurchase Plan (the "Company 10b5-1 Plan")
OnJuly 7, 2019 , our Board approved the Company 10b5-1 Plan, to acquire up to$150 million in the aggregate of our common stock at prices below our net asset value per share over a specified period, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. We put the Company 10b5-1 Plan in place because we believe that, in the current market conditions, if our common stock is trading below our then-current net asset value per share, it is in the best interest of our shareholders for us to reinvest in our portfolio. The Company 10b5-1 Plan is intended to allow us to repurchase our common stock at times when we otherwise might be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws. The Company 10b5-1 Plan requiresGoldman Sachs & Co. LLC , as our agent, to repurchase shares of common stock on our behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported net asset value per share (including any updates, corrections or adjustments publicly announced by us to any previously announced net asset value per share). Under the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the agent will increase the volume of purchases made as the price of our common stock declines, subject to volume restrictions. The timing and amount of any stock repurchases will depend on the terms and conditions of the Company 10b5-1 Plan, the market price of our common stock and trading volumes, and no assurance can be given that any particular amount of common stock will be repurchased. The purchase of shares pursuant to the Company 10b5-1 Plan is intended to satisfy the conditions of Rule 10b5-1 and Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, and will otherwise be subject to applicable law, including Regulation M, which may prohibit purchases under certain circumstances. The Company 10b5-1 Plan commenced onAugust 19, 2019 and will terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) 18-months (tolled for periods during which the Company 10b5-1 Plan is suspended), (ii) the end of the trading day on which the aggregate purchase price for all shares purchased under the Company 10b5-1 Plan equals$150 million and (iii) the occurrence of certain other events described in the Company 10b5-1 Plan. Subsequent toJune 30, 2020 , the 10b5-1 Plan was exhausted onAugust 4, 2020 . 94

Revolving Credit Facility
OnFebruary 1, 2017 , we entered into a senior secured revolving credit agreement (and as amended by that certain First Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as ofJuly 17, 2017 , the First Omnibus Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement and Guarantee and Security Agreement, dated as ofMarch 29, 2018 , the Third Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as ofJune 21, 2018 , the Fourth Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as ofApril 2, 2019 and the Fifth Amendment to Senior Secured Revolving Credit Agreement, dated as ofMay 7, 2020 , the "Revolving Credit Facility"). The parties to the Revolving Credit Facility include the Company, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (each a "Lender" and collectively, the "Lenders") andSunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. andING Capital LLC as Joint Lead Arrangers and Joint Book Runners,Truist Bank (as successor by merger toSunTrust Bank ) asAdministrative Agent and ING Capital LLC as Syndication Agent. The Revolving Credit Facility is guaranteed byOR Lending LLC , our subsidiary, 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 Revolving Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes, including the funding of portfolio investments. The maximum principal amount of the Revolving Credit Facility is$1.335 billion (increased from$1.295 billion onJune 12, 2020 , increased from$1.24 billion onMay 27, 2020 ; increased from$1.195 onMay 7, 2020 ; increased from$1.17 billion onFebruary 11, 2020 ; increased from$1.1 billion onAugust 27, 2019 ; increased from$1.0 billion onJuly 26, 2019 ), subject to availability under the borrowing base, which is based on our portfolio investments and other outstanding indebtedness.

The availability period under the Revolving Credit Facility will terminate onMarch 31, 2023 ("Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date") and the Revolving Credit Facility will mature onApril 2, 2024 ("Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date"). During the period from the Revolving Credit Facility Commitment Termination Date to the Revolving Credit Facility Maturity Date, we will be obligated to make mandatory prepayments under the Revolving Credit Facility out of the proceeds of certain asset sales and other recovery events and equity and debt issuances. We may borrow amounts inU.S. dollars or certain other permitted currencies. Amounts drawn under the Revolving Credit Facility will bear interest at either LIBOR plus 2.00%, or the prime rate plus 1.00%. We may elect either the LIBOR or prime rate at the time of drawdown, and loans may be converted from one rate to another at any time at our option, subject to certain conditions. We predominantly borrow utilizing LIBOR rate loans, generally electing one-month LIBOR upon borrowing. We also pay a fee of 0.375% on undrawn amounts under the Revolving Credit Facility. The Revolving Credit Facility includes customary covenants, including certain limitations on the incurrence by us of additional indebtedness and on our ability to make distributions to our shareholders, or redeem, repurchase or retire shares of stock, upon the occurrence of certain events and certain financial covenants related to asset coverage and liquidity and other maintenance covenants, as well as customary events of default. As amended onMay 7, 2020 , the agreement reduces the existing financial covenant as to the minimum asset coverage ratio from 200% to 150% with respect to our consolidated assets and our subsidiaries, measured at the last day of any fiscal quarter. Additionally, it requires a minimum asset coverage ratio of no less than 200% with respect to our consolidated assets and our subsidiary guarantors (including certain limitations on the contribution of equity in financing subsidiaries as specified therein) to our secured debt and our subsidiary guarantors (the "Obligor Asset Coverage Ratio), measured at the last day of each fiscal quarter. The amendment also added additional concentration limits in connection with the calculation of the borrowing base, based upon the Obligor Asset Coverage Ratio.
Subscription Credit Facility
OnAugust 1, 2016 , we entered into a subscription credit facility (as amended, the "Subscription Credit Facility") withWells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo"), as administrative agent (the "Subscription Credit Facility Administrative Agent") and letter of credit issuer, and Wells Fargo,State Street Bank and Trust Company and the banks and financial institutions from time to time party thereto, as lenders. The Subscription Credit Facility permitted us to borrow up to$900 million , subject to availability under the borrowing base which is calculated based on the unused Capital Commitments of the investors meeting various eligibility requirements. EffectiveJune 19, 2019 , the outstanding balance of the Subscription Credit Facility was paid in full and the facility was terminated pursuant to its terms. Borrowings under the Subscription Credit Facility bore interest, at our election at the time of drawdown, at a rate per annum equal to (i) in the case of LIBOR rate loans, an adjusted LIBOR rate for the applicable interest period plus 1.60% or (ii) in the case of reference rate loans, the greatest of (A) a prime rate plus 0.60%, (B) the federal funds rate plus 1.10%, and (C) one-month LIBOR plus 1.60%. Loans may have been converted from one rate to another at any time at our election, subject to certain conditions. We predominantly borrowed utilizing LIBOR rate loans, generally electing one-month LIBOR upon borrowing. We paid an unused commitment fee of 0.25% per annum on the unused commitments.
SPV Asset Facilities
Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries are parties to credit facilities (the "SPV Asset Facilities"). Pursuant to the SPV Asset Facilities, we sell and contribute certain investments to these wholly owned subsidiaries pursuant to sale and contribution agreements by and between us and the wholly owned subsidiaries. No gain or loss is recognized as a result of these contributions. Proceeds from the SPV Asset Facilities are used to finance the origination and acquisition of eligible assets by the wholly owned subsidiary, including the purchase of such assets from us. We retain a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired to the wholly owned subsidiary through our ownership of the wholly owned subsidiary. The SPV Asset Facilities are secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of these wholly owned subsidiaries and on any payments received by such wholly owned subsidiaries in respect of those assets. Assets pledged to lenders under the SPV Asset Facilities will not be available to pay our debts.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 21, 2017 (the "SPV Asset Facility I Closing Date"), ORCC Financing
LLC ("ORCC Financing"), a Delaware limited liability company and our subsidiary,
entered into a Loan and Servicing Agreement (as amended, the "SPV Asset Facility
I"), with ORCC Financing as Borrower, us as Transferor and Servicer, the lenders
from time to time parties thereto (the "SPV Lenders"), Morgan Stanley Asset
Funding Inc. as Administrative Agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company as
Collateral Agent and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as Collateral
Custodian.
From time to time, we sold and contributed certain investments to ORCC Financing
pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and
ORCC Financing. No gain or loss was recognized as a result of the contribution.
Proceeds from the SPV Asset Facility I were used to finance the origination and
acquisition of eligible assets by ORCC Financing, including the purchase of such
assets from us. We retained a residual interest in assets contributed to or
acquired by ORCC Financing through its ownership of ORCC Financing. The maximum
principal amount of the SPV Asset Facility I was $400 million ; the availability
of this amount was subject to a borrowing base test, which was based on the
value of ORCC Financing's assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain
conditions, including certain concentration limits.
The SPV Asset Facility I provided for the ability to draw and redraw amounts
under the SPV Asset Facility I for a period of up to three years after the SPV
Asset Facility I Closing Date (the "SPV Asset Facility I Commitment Termination
Date"). The SPV Asset Facility I was terminated on June 2, 2020 (the "SPV Asset
Facility I Termination Date"). Prior to the SPV Asset Facility I Termination
Date, proceeds received by ORCC Financing from principal and interest,
dividends, or fees on assets must be used to pay fees, expenses and interest on
outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to us, subject to certain
conditions. On the SPV Asset Facility I Termination Date, ORCC Financing repaid
in full all outstanding fees and expenses and all principal and interest on
outstanding borrowings.
Amounts drawn bore interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.25% until the six-month
anniversary of the SPV Asset Facility I Closing Date, increasing to 2.50%
thereafter, until the SPV Asset Facility I Commitment Termination Date. We
predominantly borrowed utilizing LIBOR rate loans, generally electing one-month
LIBOR upon borrowing. After a ramp-up period, there was an unused fee of 0.75%
per annum on the amount, if any, by which the undrawn amount under the SPV Asset
Facility I exceeded 25% of the maximum principal amount of the SPV Asset
Facility I. The SPV Asset Facility I contained customary covenants, including
certain financial maintenance covenants, limitations on the activities of ORCC
Financing, including limitations on incurrence of incremental indebtedness, and
customary events of default. The SPV Asset Facility I was secured by a perfected
first priority security interest in the assets of ORCC Financing and on any
payments received by ORCC Financing in respect of those assets. Assets pledged
to the SPV Lenders were not available to pay our debts.
SPV Asset Facility II
OnMay 22, 2018 , our subsidiary,ORCC Financing II LLC ("ORCC Financing II"), aDelaware limited liability company and our subsidiary, entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended, the "SPV Asset Facility II"), with ORCC Financing II, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Natixis,New York Branch, as Administrative Agent,State Street Bank and Trust Company , as Collateral Agent, andCortland Capital Market Services LLC as Document Custodian. The parties to the SPV Asset Facility II have entered into various amendments, including to admit new lenders, increase or decrease the maximum principal amount available under the facility, extend the availability period and maturity date, change the interest rate and make various other changes. The following describes the terms of SPV Asset Facility II amended throughMarch 17, 2020 (the "SPV Asset Facility II Fifth Amendment Date"). The maximum principal amount of the SPV Asset Facility II following the SPV Asset Facility II Fifth Amendment Date is$350 million (which includes terms loans of$100 million and revolving commitments of$250 million ); the availability of this amount is subject to an overcollateralization ratio test, which is based on the value of ORCC Financing II's assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including an interest coverage ratio test, certain concentration limits and collateral quality tests. The SPV Asset Facility II provides for the ability to (1) draw term loans and (2) draw and redraw revolving loans under the SPV Asset Facility II for a period of up to 18 months after SPV Asset Facility II Fifth Amendment Date unless the revolving commitments are terminated or converted to term loans sooner as provided in the SPV Asset Facility II (the "SPV Asset Facility II Commitment Termination Date"). Unless otherwise terminated, the SPV Asset Facility II will mature onMay 22, 2028 . Prior to the Stated Maturity, proceeds received by ORCC Financing II from principal and interest, dividends, or fees on assets must be used to pay fees, expenses and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to us, subject to certain conditions. OnOctober 10, 2026 , ORCC Financing II must pay in full all outstanding fees and expenses and all principal and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to us. With respect to revolving loans, amounts drawn bear interest at LIBOR (or, in the case of certain lenders that are commercial paper conduits, the lower of their cost of funds and LIBOR plus 0.25%) plus a spread that steps up from 2.20% to 2.50% during the period from the SPV Asset Facility II Fifth Amendment Date to the six month anniversary of the Reinvestment Period End Date.

We predominantly borrow utilizing LIBOR rate loans, generally electing one-month LIBOR upon borrowing. From the SPV Asset Facility II Fifth Amendment Date to the SPV Asset Facility II Commitment Termination Date, there is a commitment fee ranging 100
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum on the undrawn amount, if any, of the revolving commitments in the SPV Asset Facility II. For further details, see "ITEM 8. - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 6. Debt."

We have entered into a number of business relationships with affiliated or related parties, including the following:
• the Investment Advisory Agreement; • the Administration Agreement; and • the License Agreement. In addition to the aforementioned agreements, we, our Adviser and certain of our Adviser's affiliates have been granted exemptive relief by theSEC to co-invest with other funds managed by our Adviser or its affiliates, including Owl Rock Capital Corporation II,Owl Rock Capital Corporation III andOwl Rock Technology Finance Corp. , in a manner consistent with our investment objective, positions, policies, strategies and restrictions as well as regulatory requirements and other pertinent factors. See "ITEM 1. - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions" for further details. We invest through Wingspire and, together with Regents, through Sebago Lake, controlled affiliated investments as defined in the 1940 Act. See "ITEM 1. - Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements - Note 3. Agreements and Related Party Transactions" for further details.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements requires us to make
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets,
liabilities, revenues and expenses. Changes in the economic environment,
financial markets, and any other parameters used in determining such estimates
could cause actual results to differ. Our critical accounting policies should be
read in connection with our risk factors as described in "ITEM 1A. RISK
FACTORS."
Investments at Fair Value
Investment transactions are recorded on the trade date. Realized gains or losses
are measured by the difference between the net proceeds received (excluding
prepayment fees, if any) and the amortized cost basis of the investment using
the specific identification method without regard to unrealized gains or losses
previously recognized, and include investments charged off during the period,
net of recoveries. The net change in unrealized gains or losses primarily
reflects the change in investment values, including the reversal of previously
recorded unrealized gains or losses with respect to investments realized during
the period.
Investments for which market quotations are readily available are typically
valued at the bid price of those market quotations. To validate market
quotations, we utilize a number of factors to determine if the quotations are
representative of fair value, including the source and number of the quotations.
Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices
are not readily available, as is the case for substantially all of our
investments, are valued at fair value as determined in good faith by our Board,
based on, among other things, the input of the Adviser, our audit committee and
independent third-party valuation firm(s) engaged at the direction of the Board.
111
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As part of the valuation process, the Board takes into account relevant factors
in determining the fair value of our investments, including: the estimated
enterprise value of a portfolio company (i.e., the total fair value of the
portfolio company's debt and equity), the nature and realizable value of any
collateral, the portfolio company's ability to make payments based on its
earnings and cash flow, the markets in which the portfolio company does
business, a comparison of the portfolio company's securities to any similar
publicly traded securities, and overall changes in the interest rate environment
and the credit markets that may affect the price at which similar investments
may be made in the future. When an external event such as a purchase
transaction, public offering or subsequent equity sale occurs, the Board
considers whether the pricing indicated by the external event corroborates its
valuation.
The Board undertakes a multi-step valuation process, which includes, among other procedures, the following:
• With respect to investments for which market quotations are readily
available, those investments will typically be valued at the bid price of
those market quotations;
• With respect to investments for which market quotations are not readily
available, the valuation process begins with the independent valuation
firm(s) providing a preliminary valuation of each investment to the
Adviser's valuation committee;
• Preliminary valuation conclusions are documented and discussed with the
Adviser's valuation committee. Agreed upon valuation recommendations are
presented to the Audit Committee;
• The Audit Committee reviews the valuation recommendations and recommends
values for each investment to the Board; and
• The Board reviews the recommended valuations and determines the fair
value of each investment.
We conduct this valuation process on a quarterly basis.
We apply Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification
820, Fair Value Measurements ("ASC 820"), as amended, which establishes a
framework for measuring fair value in accordance with U.S. GAAP and required
disclosures of fair value measurements. ASC 820 determines fair value to be the
price that would be received for an investment in a current sale, which assumes
an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement
date. Market participants are defined as buyers and sellers in the principal or
most advantageous market (which may be a hypothetical market) that are
independent, knowledgeable, and willing and able to transact. In accordance with
ASC 820, we consider its principal market to be the market that has the greatest
volume and level of activity. ASC 820 specifies a fair value hierarchy that
prioritizes and ranks the level of observability of inputs used in determination
of fair value. In accordance with ASC 820, these levels are summarized below:
• Level 1 - Valuations based on quoted prices in active markets for
identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access.
• Level 2 - Valuations based on quoted prices in markets that are not
active or for which all significant inputs are observable, either
directly or indirectly.
• Level 3 - Valuations based on inputs that are unobservable and
significant to the overall fair value measurement.
Transfers between levels, if any, are recognized at the beginning of the quarter
in which the transfer occurred. In addition to using the above inputs in
investment valuations, we apply the valuation policy approved by our Board that
is consistent with ASC 820. Consistent with the valuation policy, we evaluate
the source of the inputs, including any markets in which our investments are
trading (or any markets in which securities with similar attributes are
trading), in determining fair value. When an investment is valued based on
prices provided by reputable dealers or pricing services (that is, broker
quotes), we subject those prices to various criteria in making the determination
as to whether a particular investment would qualify for treatment as a Level 2
or Level 3 investment. For example, we, or the independent valuation firm(s),
review pricing support provided by dealers or pricing services in order to
determine if observable market information is being used, versus unobservable
inputs.
Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments
that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of our
investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of
such investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been
used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially
from the values that may ultimately be realized. Further, such investments are
generally less liquid than publicly traded securities and may be subject to
contractual and other restrictions on resale. If we were required to liquidate a
portfolio investment in a forced or liquidation sale, it could realize amounts
that are different from the amounts presented and such differences could be
material.
In addition, changes in the market environment and other events that may occur over the life of the investments may cause the gains or losses ultimately realized on these investments to be different than the unrealized gains or losses reflected herein.
112
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------Interest and Dividend Income Recognition
Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes amortization of
discounts or premiums. Certain investments may have contractual payment-in-kind
("PIK") interest or dividends. PIK interest represents accrued interest that is
added to the principal amount of the investment on the respective interest
payment dates rather than being paid in cash and generally becomes due at
maturity. Discounts and premiums to par value on securities purchased are
amortized into interest income over the contractual life of the respective
security using the effective yield method. The amortized cost of investments
represents the original cost adjusted for the amortization of discounts or
premiums, if any. Upon prepayment of a loan or debt security, any prepayment
premiums, unamortized upfront loan origination fees and unamortized discounts
are recorded as interest income in the current period.
Loans are generally placed on non-accrual status when there is reasonable doubt
that principal or interest will be collected in full. Accrued interest is
generally reversed when a loan is placed on non-accrual status. Interest
payments received on non-accrual loans may be recognized as income or applied to
principal depending upon management's judgment regarding collectability. If at
any point we believe PIK interest is not expected to be realized, the investment
generating PIK interest will be placed on non-accrual status. When a PIK
investment is placed on non-accrual status, the accrued, uncapitalized interest
or dividends are generally reversed through interest income. Non-accrual loans
are restored to accrual status when past due principal and interest is paid
current and, in management's judgment, are likely to remain current. Management
may make exceptions to this treatment and determine to not place a loan on
non-accrual status if the loan has sufficient collateral value and is in the
process of collection.
Dividend income on preferred equity securities is recorded on the accrual basis
to the extent that such amounts are payable by the portfolio company and are
expected to be collected. Dividend income on common equity securities is
recorded on the record date for private portfolio companies or on the
ex-dividend date for publicly-traded portfolio companies.
Distributions
We have elected to be treated for
• investment company taxable income (which is generally our ordinary income
plus the excess of realized short-term capital gains over realized net
long-term capital losses), determined without regard to the deduction for
dividends paid, for such taxable year; and
• net tax-exempt interest income (which is the excess of our gross
tax-exempt interest income over certain disallowed deductions) for such
taxable year.
As a RIC, we (but not our shareholders) generally will not be subject to U.S.
federal tax on investment company taxable income and net capital gains that we
distribute to our shareholders.
We intend to distribute annually all or substantially all of such income. To the
extent that we retain our net capital gains or any investment company taxable
income, we generally will be subject to corporate-level U.S. federal income tax.
We can be expected to carry forward our net capital gains or any investment
company taxable income in excess of current year dividend distributions, and pay
the U.S. federal excise tax as described below.
Amounts not distributed on a timely basis in accordance with a calendar year
distribution requirement are subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise
tax payable by us. We may be subject to a nondeductible 4% U.S. federal excise
tax if we do not distribute (or are treated as distributing) during each
calendar year an amount at least equal to the sum of:
• 98% of our net ordinary income excluding certain ordinary gains or losses
for that calendar year;
• 98.2% of our capital gain net income, adjusted for certain ordinary gains
and losses, recognized for the twelve-month period ending on
of that calendar year; and
• 100% of any income or gains recognized, but not distributed, in preceding
years.
While we intend to distribute any income and capital gains in the manner necessary to minimize imposition of the 4%U.S. federal excise tax, sufficient amounts of our taxable income and capital gains may not be distributed and as a result, in such cases, the excise tax will be imposed. In such an event, we will be liable for this tax only on the amount by which we do not meet the foregoing distribution requirement. We intend to pay quarterly distributions to our shareholders out of assets legally available for distribution. All distributions will be paid at the discretion of our Board and will depend on our earnings, financial condition, maintenance of our tax treatment as a RIC, compliance with applicable BDC regulations and such other factors as our Board may deem relevant from time to time. To the extent our current taxable earnings for a year fall below the total amount of our distributions for that year, a portion of those distributions may be deemed a return of capital to our shareholders forU.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, the source of a 113 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- distribution to our shareholders may be the original capital invested by the shareholder rather than our income or gains. Shareholders should read written disclosure carefully and should not assume that the source of any distribution is our ordinary income or gains. We have adopted an "opt out" dividend reinvestment plan for our common shareholders. As a result, if we declare a cash dividend or other distribution, each shareholder that has not "opted out" of our dividend reinvestment plan will have their dividends or distributions automatically reinvested in additional shares of our common stock rather than receiving cash distributions. Shareholderswho receive distributions in the form of shares of common stock will be subject to the sameU.S. federal, state and local tax consequences as if they received cash distributions.
Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a BDC under the 1940 Act. We have also elected to be treated as a RIC under the Code beginning with the taxable year endingDecember 31, 2016 and intend to continue to qualify as a RIC. So long as we maintain our tax treatment as a RIC, we generally will not pay corporate-levelU.S. federal income taxes on any ordinary income or capital gains that we distribute at least annually to our shareholders as distributions. Rather, any tax liability related to income earned and distributed by us represents obligations of our investors and will not be reflected in our consolidated financial statements. To qualify as a RIC, we must, among other things, meet certain source-of-income and asset diversification requirements. In addition, to qualify for RIC tax treatment, we must distribute to our shareholders, for each taxable year, at least 90% of our "investment company taxable income" for that year, which is generally our ordinary income plus the excess of our realized net short-term capital gains over our realized net long-term capital losses. In order for us to not be subject toU.S. federal excise taxes, we must distribute annually an amount at least equal to the sum of (i) 98% of our net ordinary income (taking into account certain deferrals and elections) for the calendar year, (ii) 98.2% of our capital gains in excess of capital losses for the one-year period ending onOctober 31 of the calendar year and (iii) any net ordinary income and capital gains in excess of capital losses for preceding years that were not distributed during such years. We, at our discretion, may carry forward taxable income in excess of calendar year dividends and pay a 4% nondeductibleU.S. excise tax on this income. We evaluate tax positions taken or expected to be taken in the course of preparing our consolidated financial statements to determine whether the tax positions are "more-likely-than-not" to be sustained by the applicable tax authority. Tax positions not deemed to meet the "more-likely-than-not" threshold are reserved and recorded as a tax benefit or expense in the current year. All penalties and interest associated with income taxes are included in income tax expense. Conclusions regarding tax positions are subject to review and may be adjusted at a later date based on factors including, but not limited to, on-going analyses of tax laws, regulations and interpretations thereof. There were no material uncertain tax positions throughDecember 31, 2019 . The 2016 through 2018 tax years remain subject to examination byU.S. federal, state and local tax authorities. 114
