Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
On December 17, 2024 (the “Closing Date”), Core Income Funding VIII LLC (“Core Income Funding VIII”), a Delaware limited liability company and newly formed subsidiary of Blue Owl Credit Income Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “us”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Secured Credit Facility”), with Core Income Funding VIII LLC, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Natixis, New York Branch, as Facility Agent, and State Street Bank and Trust Company as Collateral Agent, Collateral Administrator, Custodian and Document Custodian.
From time to time, the Company expects to sell and contribute certain investments to Core Income Funding VIII pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and Core Income Funding VIII. No gain or loss will be recognized as a result of the contribution. Proceeds from the Secured Credit Facility will be used to finance the origination and acquisition of eligible assets by Core Income Funding VIII, including the purchase of such assets from the Company. The Company retains a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by Core Income Funding VIII through its ownership of Core Income Funding VIII. The maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility is $500 million; the availability of this amount is subject to an overcollateralization ratio test, which is based on the value of Core Income Funding VIII’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 Secured Credit Facility provides for the ability to (1) draw term loans and (2) draw and redraw revolving loans under the Secured Credit Facility for a period of up to three years after the Closing Date unless the revolving commitments are terminated or converted to term loans sooner as provided in the Secured Credit Facility (the “Commitment Termination Date”). Unless otherwise terminated, the Secured Credit Facility will mature on December 17, 2035 (the “Stated Maturity”). Prior to the Stated Maturity, proceeds received by Core Income Funding VIII 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 the Company, subject to certain conditions. On the Stated Maturity, Core Income Funding VIII must pay in full all outstanding fees and expenses and all principal and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to the Company.
Amounts drawn bear interest at Term SOFR (or, in the case of certain lenders that are commercial paper conduits, their cost of funds) plus an applicable margin of (x) with respect to the Class A-R Loans and the Class A-T Loans, 1.75%, (y) with respect to the Class A-D1 Loans, 1.65% and (z) with respect to the Class A-D2 Loans, 1.93%. From the Closing Date to the Commitment Termination Date, there is a commitment fee that steps up the date that is three months after the Closing Date from 0.25% to 0.50% per annum on the undrawn amount, if any, of the revolving commitments in the Secured Credit Facility. The Secured Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including certain financial maintenance covenants, limitations on the activities of Core Income Funding VIII, including limitations on incurrence of incremental indebtedness, and customary events of default. The Secured Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of Core Income Funding VIII and on any payments received by Core Income Funding VIII in respect of those assets. Assets pledged to the Lenders will not be available to pay the debts of the Company. Borrowings of Core Income Funding VIII are considered the Company’s borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act.
