PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Blue Owl Finance LLC

OFFERS TO EXCHANGE THE EXCHANGE NOTES SET FORTH BELOW

REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933

FOR

ANY AND ALL CORRESPONDING ORIGINAL NOTES SET FORTH BELOW

Blue Owl Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”) and an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), hereby offers to exchange, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this prospectus and the accompanying letter of transmittal, up to $59.8 million in aggregate principal amount of its 7.397% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Exchange Notes”), up to $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 3.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Exchange Notes”), up to $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.375% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Exchange Notes”), up to $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Exchange Notes”) and up to $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.125% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “2051 Exchange Notes” and, together with the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2034 Exchange Notes, the “Exchange Notes”) for an equal amount of its outstanding 7.397% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Original Notes”), 3.125% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 Original Notes”), 4.375% Senior Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Original Notes”), 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034, consisting of $750.0 million of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Initial Notes”) and 250.0 million of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 that form a single class of securities with the 2034 Initial Notes for all purposes under the indenture governing such notes and have the same terms as the 2034 Initial Notes (other than issue date and issue price) (the “2034 Additional Notes” and, together with the 2034 Initial Notes, the “2034 Original Notes”), and 4.125% Senior Notes due 2051 (the “2051 Original Notes” and, together with the 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2034 Original Notes, the “Original Notes”). We refer to the Original Notes and the Exchange Notes, collectively, as the “Notes.”

The Issuer’s obligations under the Original Notes are guaranteed by each of the Company, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP LLC, Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, Blue Owl Capital Carry LP, Blue Owl Capital Group LLC, Blue Owl GPSC Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LP, Blue Owl GP Stakes GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Real Estate Holdings LP, Blue Owl Real Estate GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital Holdings LLC (collectively, the “Guarantors” and such guarantees, the “Original Guarantees”), and the Issuer’s obligations under the Exchange Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Guarantors (such guarantees,

the “Exchange Guarantees” and, together with the Original Guarantees, the “Guarantees”). The Original Guarantees are provided, and the Exchange Guarantees will be provided, on a senior unsecured basis.

The terms of the Exchange Notes will be substantially identical to the terms of the Original Notes, except that the Exchange Notes will generally be freely transferable and, in the case of the 2034 Exchange Notes, will not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest. See “The Exchange Offers—Additional Interest.” The Exchange Notes, along with any additional notes of any applicable series issued pursuant to the indenture governing such notes (collectively, the “indentures”), will be issued under the applicable indenture governing the applicable series of Original Notes. For a description of the principal terms of the Exchange Notes, see “Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes” and “Description of 2034 Notes.”

The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on  , 2024, unless we extend the offers. At any time prior to the expiration time, you may withdraw your tender of any Original Notes; otherwise, such tender is irrevocable. We will receive no cash proceeds from the exchange offers.

The Exchange Notes constitute new issues of securities for which there is no established trading market. Any Original Notes not tendered and accepted in the exchange offers will remain outstanding. To the extent Original Notes are tendered and accepted in the exchange offers, your ability to sell untendered, and tendered but unaccepted, Original Notes could be adversely affected. Following consummation of the exchange offers, the Original Notes will continue to be subject to their existing transfer restrictions, and we will have no further obligations to provide for the registration of the Original Notes under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). We cannot guarantee that an active trading market will develop or give assurances as to the liquidity of the trading market for either the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes. We do not intend to apply for listing of either the Original Notes or the Exchange Notes on any exchange or market.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes received in exchange for the Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 120 days from the date on which the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Investing in the Exchange Notes involves certain risks. Please read “Risk Factors” beginning on page 20 of this prospectus.

This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are first being mailed to all holders of the Original Notes on or about     , 2024.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if this prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The date of this prospectus is     , 2024.

To obtain timely delivery, you must request these documents no later than five business days before the expiration time of the exchange offers, or     , 2024.

No dealer, salesperson or other person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations other than those contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus in connection with this offer, and, if given or made, such information or representations must not be relied upon as having been authorized by Blue Owl. This prospectus does not constitute an offer of any securities other than those to which it relates or an offer or a solicitation by anyone in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is not authorized or in which the person making such offer or solicitation is not qualified to do so or to anyone to whom it is unlawful to make such offer or solicitation in such jurisdiction. Neither the delivery of this prospectus nor any sale made hereunder shall under any circumstance create an implication that there has been no change in the affairs of our Company since the date hereof of this prospectus. Neither the trustee nor the exchange agent makes any recommendation as to whether holders should tender Original Notes in this exchange.

Notice to Holders Outside the United States

This prospectus is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended or superseded, the “Prospectus Regulation”). This prospectus does not constitute an offer to sell, buy or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to sell, buy or exchange the Original Notes and/or the Exchange Notes, as applicable, in any circumstances in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. Each holder of Original Notes tendering for Exchange Notes will be deemed to have represented, warranted and agreed that, if it is a person resident in a Member State of the European Economic Area (“EEA”), it is a “qualified investor” as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. The Exchange Notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the EEA. For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended or superseded, “MiFID II”); or (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97 (as amended or superseded, the “Insurance Distribution Directive”), where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a qualified investor as defined in the Prospectus Regulation. Consequently no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended or superseded, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the Exchange Notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the Exchange Notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation. This prospectus has been prepared on the basis that any offer of Exchange Notes in any Member State of the EEA will be made pursuant to an exemption under the Prospectus Regulation from the requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of Exchange Notes. This prospectus is not a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation.

TABLE OF CONTENTS

SELECTED DEFINITIONS

This prospectus has been prepared using a number of stylistic conventions, which you should consider when reading the information herein or therein. Unless otherwise expressly stated or, unless the context otherwise requires, references in this prospectus to:

ii

We disclose certain financial measures in this prospectus that are calculated and presented using methodologies other than in accordance with GAAP. We believe that providing these performance measures on a supplemental basis to our GAAP results is helpful to stockholders in assessing the overall performance of Blue Owl’s businesses. These financial measures should not be considered as a substitute for similar financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP, if available. We caution readers that these non-GAAP financial measures may differ from the calculations of other investment managers, and as a result, may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

iii

DISCLOSURE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This prospectus and the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference herein contain, and any prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we may provide to you in connection with an offering of the securities described in this prospectus may contain, forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act, which reflect our current views with respect to, among other things, future events, operations and financial performance. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “approximately,” “predicts,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates” or the negative version of those words or other comparable words, or other statements that do not relate to historical or factual matters. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks, uncertainties (some of which are beyond our control) or other assumptions relating to our operations, financial results, financial condition, business prospects, growth strategy and liquidity that may cause actual results or performance to be materially different from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements. Some of these factors are described under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, each of which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors, as such factors may be updated from time to time, and other cautionary statements that are included in this prospectus and in our other periodic filings, which are accessible on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov. If one or more of these or other risks or uncertainties materialize, or if our underlying assumptions prove to be incorrect, our actual results may vary materially from those indicated in these forward-looking statements. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. We do not undertake any obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except as required by law.

The documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference herein contain or may contain, and any prospectus supplement and free writing prospectus that we may provide to you in connection with an offering of the securities described in this prospectus may contain, market data, industry statistics and other data that have been obtained from, or compiled from, information made available by third parties. We have not independently verified this data or these statistics.

RISK FACTORS

Prior to making a decision to participate in the exchange offers, you should carefully consider the risks described below, as well as the risks and other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus. You should also consider the risks, uncertainties and assumptions discussed under the heading “Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K and in our most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q, each of which is incorporated herein by reference, and may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time by other reports we subsequently have filed with the SEC or may file with the SEC in the future and any prospectus supplement related to a particular offering. The risks and uncertainties we have described are not the only ones we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also affect our operations.

Risks Related to the Exchange Offers

The trading market for the Exchange Notes may be limited.

The Exchange Notes are a new issue of securities for which no established trading market exists. If an active trading market does not develop for the Exchange Notes, investors may not be able to resell them. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. No assurance can be given that a trading market for the Exchange Notes will develop or of the price at which investors may be able to sell the Exchange Notes, if at all. The lack of a trading market could adversely affect investors’ ability to sell the Exchange Notes and the price at which investors may be able to sell the Exchange Notes. The liquidity of the trading market, if any, and future trading prices of the Exchange Notes will depend on many factors, including, among other things, the number of holders of the Exchange Notes, our operating results, financial performance and prospects, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar securities and the overall securities market, and may be adversely affected by unfavorable changes in these factors.

Your Original Notes will not be accepted for exchange if you fail to follow the exchange offers procedures.

We will issue Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offers only after a timely receipt of your Original Notes, a properly completed and duly executed letter of transmittal and all other required documents. Therefore, if you want to tender your Original Notes, please allow sufficient time to ensure timely delivery. If we do not receive your Original Notes, letter of transmittal and other required documents by the expiration time of the exchange offers, we will not accept your Original Notes for exchange. We are generally under no duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to the tenders of Original Notes for exchange. If there are defects or irregularities with respect to your tender of Original Notes, we may not accept your Original Notes for exchange.

If you do not exchange your Original Notes, your Original Notes will continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and you may be unable to sell your outstanding Original Notes.

We did not register the Original Notes and do not intend to do so following the exchange offers. Original Notes that are not tendered will therefore continue to be subject to the existing transfer restrictions and may be transferred only in limited circumstances under applicable securities laws. Because we anticipate that most holders of the Original Notes will elect to exchange their Original Notes for Exchange Notes due to the absence of restrictions on the resale of Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, we anticipate that the liquidity of the market for any Original Notes remaining after the completion of the exchange offers may be substantially limited. If you do not exchange your Original Notes, you will lose your right, except in limited circumstances, to have your Original Notes registered under the federal securities laws. As a result, if you hold Original Notes after the exchange offers, you may be unable to sell your Original Notes and the value of the Original Notes may decline. We have no obligation, except in limited circumstances, and do not currently intend, to file an additional registration statement to cover the resale of Original Notes that did not tender in the exchange offers or to re-offer to exchange the Exchange Notes for Original Notes following the expiration of the exchange offers.

20

Some persons who participate in the exchange offers must deliver a prospectus in connection with resales of the Exchange Notes.

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC contained in Exxon Capital Holdings Corp., SEC no-action letter (April 13, 1988), Morgan Stanley & Co. Inc., SEC no-action letter (June 5, 1991) and Shearman & Sterling, SEC no-action letter (July 2, 1983), we believe that you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. However, in some instances described in this prospectus under “Plan of Distribution,” you will remain obligated to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to transfer your Exchange Notes. In these cases, if you transfer any Exchange Note without delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act or without an exemption from registration of your Exchange Notes under the Securities Act, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not and will not assume, or indemnify you against, this liability.

Risks Related to the Exchange Notes and Guarantees

The Issuer is a finance subsidiary and will depend upon intercompany transfers from the Guarantors to meet its obligations under the Exchange Notes. The Guarantors are holding companies and will depend upon funds from their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations under the guarantees. The Exchange Notes and the Guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the claims of the creditors of the subsidiaries of Blue Owl Capital Inc. other than the Issuer and the Guarantors.

The Issuer is an indirect finance subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. and a direct finance subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, each of which will guarantee the Exchange Notes and each of which have no operations or assets other than in such capacity. Furthermore, the Guarantors, including Blue Owl Capital Inc., are holding companies, and their only significant assets are their investments in their respective subsidiaries and the cash that is upstreamed to the Guarantors from such subsidiaries for cash management purposes. As a finance subsidiary, the Issuer is dependent upon intercompany transfers of funds from the Guarantors to meet its obligations under the Exchange Notes and, as holding companies, the Guarantors generally are dependent upon intercompany transfers of funds from their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations under the guarantees. The ability of such entities to make other payments to the Issuer or the Guarantors may be restricted by, among other things, applicable laws as well as agreements to which those entities may be a party. Therefore, the Issuer’s ability and the Guarantors’ abilities to make payments in respect of the Exchange Notes or the guarantees, respectively, may be limited.

None of the subsidiaries of Blue Owl Capital Inc., other than the Issuer, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP LLC, Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, Blue Owl Capital Carry LP, Blue Owl Capital Group LLC, Blue Owl GPSC Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LP, Blue Owl GP Stakes GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Real Estate Holdings LP, Blue Owl Real Estate GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital Holdings LLC, will have any obligations in respect of the Exchange Notes, unless any such entities become guarantors. See “Summary—Organizational Structure” and “Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes” and “Description of 2034 Notes.” Accordingly, the Exchange Notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors (including trade creditors, if any) of all the subsidiaries of Blue Owl Capital Inc., other than the Issuer, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP LLC, Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, Blue Owl Capital Carry LP, Blue Owl Capital Group LLC, Blue Owl GPSC Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LP, Blue Owl GP Stakes GP Holdings LLC, Blue Owl Real Estate Holdings LP, Blue Owl Real Estate GP Holdings LLC and Blue Owl Capital Holdings LLC, unless such entities become guarantors. All obligations of each subsidiary of the Issuer and the Guarantors that is not itself the Issuer or a Guarantor will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such entities would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to the Issuer and the Guarantors.

21

We may incur additional indebtedness that may adversely affect our ability to meet our financial obligations under the Exchange Notes.

The terms of the indentures and the Exchange Notes do not impose any limitation on the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries’ ability to incur additional debt. The Issuer or any of the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries may incur additional indebtedness in the future, which could have important consequences to holders of the Exchange Notes, including the following:

In contrast to typical guaranteed debt securities, the Guarantors of the Exchange Notes are holding companies. Accordingly, the Exchange Notes have similar credit characteristics to holding company debt that does not have the benefit of guarantees and are structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of our fee generating businesses.

The guarantees of the Exchange Notes are intended to serve a different purpose than guarantees in a traditional guaranteed debt structure. In a typical debt offering with guarantees, the Exchange Notes are issued by a parent holding company and the obligations are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Issuer’s wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. This has the effect of improving the credit quality of what would otherwise be holding company debt by effectively eliminating structural subordination of the parent’s debt obligation to the trade and other creditors of the operating businesses. By contrast, the guarantees of the Exchange Notes will be issued by holding companies and, therefore, the Exchange Notes and guarantees will remain structurally subordinated to the creditors of our fee generating businesses. Accordingly, the credit quality of the Exchange Notes and related Guarantees is more similar to holding company debt securities than traditional guaranteed debt securities.

Your right to receive payments on the Exchange Notes is effectively subordinated to the rights of those lenders who have a security interest in the assets of the Issuer, the Guarantors or the subsidiaries of the Guarantors to the extent of the value of such assets.

The Issuer’s obligations under the Exchange Notes are unsecured. In the future, the Issuer, the Guarantors or the subsidiaries of the Guarantors may incur indebtedness that is secured by certain or substantially all of their respective tangible and intangible assets, including the equity interests of each of their existing and future subsidiaries. If the Issuer, the Guarantors or the subsidiaries of the Guarantors were unable to repay any such secured indebtedness, the creditors of such obligations could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the Exchange Notes, even if an event of default exists under the indentures or obligations under the Exchange Notes are otherwise due and payable at such time. In any such event, because the Exchange Notes are unsecured, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to fully satisfy your claims.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, the Issuer may not be able to make payments on the Exchange Notes.

Any default under the agreements governing our indebtedness that is not waived by the required lenders or holders, and the remedies sought by the lenders or holders of such indebtedness, could prevent the Issuer from paying principal, premium, if any, and interest on the Exchange Notes and substantially decrease the market value of the Exchange Notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain

22

funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants, including financial and operating covenants in the instruments governing our indebtedness (including covenants in the indentures for the Exchange Notes), we could be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such indebtedness, including the indentures for the Exchange Notes. In the event of such default,

Upon any such bankruptcy filing, we would be stayed from making any ongoing payments on the Exchange Notes, and the holders of the Exchange Notes would not be entitled to receive post-petition interest or applicable fees, costs or charges, or any “adequate protection” under Title 11 of the United States Code (the “Bankruptcy Code”). Furthermore, if a bankruptcy case were to be commenced under the Bankruptcy Code, we could be subject to claims, with respect to any payments made within 90 days prior to commencement of such a case, that we were insolvent at the time any such payments were made and that all or a portion of such payments, which could include repayments of amounts due under the Exchange Notes might be deemed to constitute a preference, under the Bankruptcy Code, and that such payments should be voided by the bankruptcy court and recovered from the recipients for the benefit of the entire bankruptcy estate. Also, in the event that we were to become a debtor in a bankruptcy case seeking reorganization or other relief under the Bankruptcy Code, a delay and/or substantial reduction in payment under the notes may otherwise occur.

The interests of our equity holders may be in conflict with the interests of holders of the Exchange Notes.

Circumstances may occur in which the interests of our equity holders, including the public stockholders of Blue Owl Capital Inc., could be in conflict with the interests of the holders of our debt, including the Exchange Notes. Equity holders may have an interest in pursuing transactions that, in their judgment, enhance the value of their equity investment, even though those transactions may involve risks to the holders of our debt, including the Exchange Notes.

The Issuer may not be able to repurchase the Exchange Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.

Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, each holder of Exchange Notes will have the right to require the Issuer (or the Guarantors) to repurchase all or any part of such holder’s Exchange Notes at a repurchase price equal to 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the date of repurchase. If we experience a Change of Control Repurchase Event, we cannot assure you that the Issuer (or the Guarantors) would have sufficient financial resources available to satisfy its obligations to repurchase the Exchange Notes. The Issuer’s (or Guarantors’) failure to repurchase the Exchange Notes as required under the indentures would result in a default under the indentures, which could result in defaults under other indebtedness of the Issuer or Guarantors, including the acceleration of the payment of any borrowings thereunder and have material adverse consequences for the holders of the Exchange Notes. In addition, the change of control provisions in the indentures may not protect you from certain important corporate events, such as a leveraged recapitalization (which would increase the level of our indebtedness), reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction. Such a transaction may not involve a change in voting power or beneficial ownership or, even if it does, may not involve a change that constitutes a “Change of Control” as defined in the indentures that would trigger our obligation to repurchase the Exchange Notes. If an event occurs that does not constitute a “Change of Control” as defined in the indentures, we will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes and you may be required to continue to hold your Exchange Notes despite the event. See “Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes —Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event” and “Description of 2034 Notes —Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.”

23

Redemption may adversely affect your return on the Exchange Notes.

The Issuer has the right to redeem some or all of the Exchange Notes prior to maturity, as described under “Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes—Optional Redemption of the Notes” and “Description of 2034 Notes—Optional Redemption of the Notes.” The Issuer may redeem the Exchange Notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the Exchange Notes.

There are limited covenants and protections in the indentures.

While the indentures and the Exchange Notes contain terms intended to provide protection to holders upon the occurrence of certain events involving significant corporate transactions and our creditworthiness, these terms are limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the Exchange Notes. For example, there are no financial covenants in the indentures. In addition, as described under “Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event” and “Description of 2034 Notes—Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event,” upon the occurrence of a Change of Control Repurchase Event, holders will be entitled to require the Issuer to repurchase their Exchange Notes at 101% of their principal amount. However, the definition of the term “Change of Control Repurchase Event” is limited and does not cover a variety of transactions (such as acquisitions by us, recapitalizations or “going private” transactions by our affiliates) that could negatively affect the value of your Exchange Notes. A change of control transaction under the indentures may only occur if there is either (i) a sale of all or substantially all of our assets or (ii) a change in the controlling interest in our business coupled with the acquisition by a third-party of an entitlement to receive more than 50% of our equity distributions or partner allocations. For a Change of Control Repurchase Event to occur there must be not only a change of control transaction as defined in the indentures, but also a ratings downgrade resulting from such transaction. If we were to enter into a significant corporate transaction that negatively affects the value of the Exchange Notes, but would not constitute a Change of Control Repurchase Event, you would not have any rights to require the Issuer to repurchase the Exchange Notes prior to their maturity, which also would adversely affect your investment.

A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to the Exchange Notes could cause the liquidity or market value of the Exchange Notes to decline significantly.

One or more credit rating agencies are expected to assign credit ratings to the Exchange Notes. Any such ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above and incorporated by reference herein and other factors that may affect the value of the Exchange Notes. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time at its sole discretion. There can be no assurance that any of the ratings assigned to the Exchange Notes by such agencies will remain for any given period of time or that such ratings will not be lowered or withdrawn entirely by such agencies if in their judgment future circumstances relating to the basis of the rating, such as adverse changes in the Company, so warrant. Neither we nor the initial purchasers undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders of any changes in ratings. A downgrade, suspension or withdrawal of the rating assigned by a rating agency to the Exchange Notes could cause the liquidity or market value of the notes to decline significantly.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer laws may permit a court to void the Exchange Notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the Exchange Notes and any guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the Exchange Notes.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the Exchange Notes, the incurrence of any guarantees of the notes entered into upon issuance of the Exchange Notes and guarantees that may be entered into thereafter under the terms of the indentures. Under federal bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from state to state,

24

the Exchange Notes or any guarantee could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (1) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, issued the Exchange Notes or incurred its guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for issuing the Exchange Notes or incurring its guarantee and, in the case of (2) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

A court would likely find that the Issuer or a Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the Exchange Notes or a guarantee if the Issuer or such Guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the Exchange Notes or the applicable guarantee. As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or new or antecedent debt is secured or satisfied.

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not the Issuer or the Guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the guarantees would not be further subordinated to the Issuer’s or any of the Guarantors’ other debt. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if at the time it incurred indebtedness:

If a court were to find that the issuance of the Exchange Notes or the incurrence of the guarantees was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the Exchange Notes or such guarantees or subordinate the Exchange Notes or such guarantees to presently existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer or of the applicable Guarantor, or require the holders of the Exchange Notes to repay any amounts received with respect to such guarantees. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the Exchange Notes.

Although each guarantee entered into by a Guarantor will contain a provision intended to limit that Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce that Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless.

25

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange Original Notes in like principal amount, which will be cancelled, and, as such, issuing the Exchange Notes will not result in any increase in our indebtedness or be financed with new borrowings.

26

THE EXCHANGE OFFERS

Purpose of the Exchange Offers

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the initial purchasers of the 2034 Original Notes entered into the Registration Rights Agreements with respect to the 2034 Original Notes. In each of the Registration Rights Agreements, the Issuer and the Guarantors agreed for the benefit of the holders of the 2034 Original Notes to use commercially reasonable efforts to, (i) file a registration statement on an appropriate registration form (the “exchange offer registration statement”) with the SEC with respect to a registered offer to exchange the 2034 Original Notes for 2034 Exchange Notes with terms substantially identical to the 2034 Original Notes, except that the 2034 Exchange Notes will not contain certain terms with respect to registration rights and additional interest as described below, and (ii) cause the exchange offer registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act. Upon the exchange offer registration statement being declared effective, the Issuer and the Guarantors will offer the applicable Exchange Notes in exchange for surrender of the 2034 Original Notes.

Although not required to do so under any agreement, the Issuer is permitting holders of the 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2051 Original Notes to exchange their 2028 Original Notes, 2031 Original Notes, 2032 Original Notes and 2051 Original Notes for Exchange Notes of the applicable series.

The Issuer and the Guarantors will keep the exchange offers open for not less than the minimum period required under applicable federal and state securities laws, and in no event less than 20 business days after the date the notice of the exchange offers is first sent to holders. For each Original Note surrendered to us pursuant to the exchange offers, the holder who surrendered such Original Note will receive an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Original Note. Interest on each Exchange Note will accrue from the later of the last interest payment date on which interest was paid on the Original Note surrendered in exchange therefor, or if no interest has been paid on the Original Note, from the issue date of the Original Notes (other than for the 2034 Additional Notes, for which the interest is deemed to have accrued from April 18, 2024).

The Issuer refers to its offers to exchange the Original Notes for the Exchange Notes of the applicable series as the “exchange offers.”

Resale of Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations by the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to the Issuer, including Morgan Stanley & Co., Inc. (available June 5, 1991) and Exxon Capital Holdings Corporation (available May 13, 1988), as interpreted in the SEC’s letter to Shearman & Sterling LLP (dated July 2, 1993), the Issuer believes the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than its affiliates after the exchange offers without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to the Issuer in the exchange offers that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not the Issuer’s affiliate, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that broker-dealers (“Participating Broker-Dealers”) receiving Exchange Notes in the exchange offers will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes. The Issuer also believes that Participating Broker-Dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the sale of the Original Notes) with this prospectus.

The Issuer has not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive Exchange Notes in the exchange offers to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offers. The Issuer is not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offers with a view to distribute the

27

Exchange Notes. If you tender your Original Notes in the exchange offers with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you:

Unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, the resale by any security holder intending to distribute Exchange Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act containing the selling security holder’s information required under the Securities Act. This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, a resale or other retransfer of Exchange Notes only as specifically described in this prospectus. Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Original Notes, where such Original Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Shelf Registration

Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, the Issuer agreed to make available, during the period required by the Securities Act, a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act for use by participating broker-dealers and other persons, if any, with similar prospectus delivery requirements for use in connection with any resale of 2034 Original Notes.

If

(a) because of any change in law or in currently prevailing interpretations of the staff of the SEC, the Issuer is not permitted to effect the exchange offer with respect to the 2034 Exchange Notes,

(b) the exchange offer is not consummated within 365 days after the date on which the 2034 Initial Notes are originally issued (or, if such 365th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day),

(c) in certain circumstances, certain holders of unregistered 2034 Exchange Notes so request, or

(d) in the case of any holder that participates in the exchange offer with respect to the 2034 Notes, such holder does not receive 2034 Exchange Notes on the date of the exchange that may be sold without restriction under state and federal securities laws (other than due solely to the status of such holder as an affiliate of ours within the meaning of the Securities Act) and makes a request pursuant to each Registration Rights Agreement, as applicable, then, in each case, we and the Guarantors will, at our sole expense,

(i) file with the SEC a shelf registration statement covering resales of the 2034 Exchange Notes within 60 days after the date on which such filing obligation arises (or, if such 60th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act within 60 days after the deadline to file the shelf registration statement (or, if such 60th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) and

(ii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep effective such shelf registration statement until the earliest of (i) 365 days after the effective date of such shelf registration statement or (ii) such time as all of the applicable 2034 Exchange Notes have been sold thereunder (the “shelf registration period”).

In addition, the Issuer and the Guarantors agreed, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, to provide to each holder whose 2034 Exchange Notes are registered under such shelf registration statement copies of the prospectus that is a part of such shelf registration statement, notify each such holder when such shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted

28

resales of the 2034 Exchange Notes. A holder of 2034 Exchange Notes that sells its notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally,

Additional Interest

Pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements if (A) the Issuer has not exchanged 2034 Exchange Notes for all 2034 Original Notes validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the applicable exchange offer on or prior to the day that is 365 days after April 18, 2024 (or, if such 365th day is not a business day, the next succeeding business day) or (B) if applicable, a shelf registration statement covering resales of the 2034 Exchange Notes eligible for inclusion in the shelf registration statement has not been declared effective on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreements, as applicable, or has been declared effective and after effectiveness of such shelf registration statement ceases to be effective at any time during the shelf registration period (subject to certain exceptions), then additional interest will accrue on the principal amount of the applicable series of 2034 Exchange Notes at a rate of 0.25% per annum (which rate shall be increased by an additional 0.25% per annum for each subsequent 90-day period that such additional interest continues to accrue; provided that the rate at which such additional interest accrues may in no event exceed 0.50% per annum) commencing on (x) the day after the date that is 365 days after April 18, 2024, in the case of (A) above, or (y) the day such shelf registration statement (if required) has not been declared effective or ceases to be effective, in the case of (B) above; provided, however, that upon the exchange of 2034 Exchange Notes for all 2034 Original Notes tendered (in the case of clause (A) above), or upon the effectiveness of a shelf registration statement that had ceased to remain effective (in the case of clause (B) above), additional interest on the 2034 Exchange Notes as a result of such clause (or the relevant sub-clause thereof), as the case may be, shall cease to accrue. Any amounts of additional interest due will be payable in cash on the same original interest payment dates as interest on the 2034 Exchange Notes is payable.

However, the Registration Rights Agreements do not require us to file supplements or amendments to maintain effectiveness of a shelf registration statement under certain circumstances where such supplement or amendment would require us to disclose material non-public information; instead, the Registration Rights Agreements generally permit the filing of any such supplement or amendment to be delayed for a period not to exceed 30 days in any three month period and 90 days in any calendar year. No additional interest will accrue as a result of such a delay.

Terms of the Exchange Offers

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any Original Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn prior to the expiration time of the exchange offers. We will issue $1,000 principal amount of Exchange Notes in exchange for each $1,000 principal amount of Original Notes surrendered under the exchange offers and accepted by us. Original Notes may be tendered only in integral multiples of $1,000, subject to a $2,000 minimum, and untendered Original Notes may only be in a minimum denomination of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

29

The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Original Notes, except the Exchange Notes will not be subject to transfer restrictions. Also, the 2034 Exchange Notes will not include provisions contained in the 2034 Original Notes that required payment of additional interest in the event we failed to satisfy our registration obligations with respect to the Original Notes. Each series of Exchange Notes will be issued under and entitled to the benefits of the same indenture that authorized the issuance of the related Original Notes, respectively.

The Exchange Notes will evidence the same indebtedness as the Original Notes, which they will replace, and will be issued under, and be entitled to the benefits of, the same indenture that governs the Original Notes, respectively. As a result, each series of the Exchange Notes and the Original Notes will be treated as a single series of debt securities under the indentures, as applicable. The exchange offers do not depend on any minimum aggregate principal amount of Original Notes being tendered for exchange.

As of the date of this prospectus, $59.8 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Original Notes, $700.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2031 Original Notes, $400.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2032 Original Notes, $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Notes are outstanding, and $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of the 2051 Original Notes. This prospectus and the letter of transmittal are being sent to all registered holders of the Original Notes. There will be no fixed record date for determining registered holders of the Original Notes entitled to participate in the exchange offers.

We intend to conduct the exchange offers in accordance with the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreements with respect to the 2034 Original Notes, and with respect to all Original Notes, in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, and the SEC rules and regulations. Original Notes that are not tendered for exchange in the exchange offers:

We will be deemed to have accepted for exchange properly tendered Original Notes when we have given written notice of the acceptance to the exchange agent, and with respect to the 2034 Original Notes, complied with the applicable provisions of the Registration Rights Agreements. The exchange agent will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purposes of receiving the Exchange Notes from us. We will issue the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration of the exchange offers.

If you tender Original Notes in the exchange offers, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of Original Notes. We will pay all charges and expenses, other than certain applicable taxes described below, in connection with the exchange offers. It is important that you read “—Fees and Expenses” below for more details about fees and expenses incurred in the exchange offers.

We will return any Original Notes that we do not accept for exchange for any reason without expense to the tendering holder as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offers.

The exchange offers are not subject to any federal or state regulatory requirements or approvals other than securities laws and blue-sky laws.

Expiration Time

The exchange offers will expire at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on     , 2024, unless at our sole discretion we extend the exchange offers.

30

Extensions, Delay in Acceptance, Termination or Amendment

We expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offers are open. We may delay acceptance for exchange of any Original Notes by giving oral or written notice of the extension to their holders. During any such extensions, all Original Notes you have previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offers for that series, and we may accept them for exchange.

To extend the exchange offers, we will notify the exchange agent orally or in writing (if oral to be promptly confirmed in writing) of any extension. We also will make a public announcement of the extension no later than 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled expiration time.

If any of the conditions described below under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offers” have not been satisfied with respect to the exchange offers, we reserve the right, at our sole discretion:

We will give oral or written notice (if oral to be promptly confirmed in writing) of such extension, delay or termination to the exchange agent. Subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements applicable to the 2034 Original Notes, we also reserve the right to amend the terms of the exchange offers in any manner.

Any such extension, delay in acceptance, termination or amendment will be followed as promptly as practicable by oral or written notice thereof to the registered holders of the Original Notes. If we amend the exchange offers in a manner that we determine to constitute a material change, we will promptly disclose that amendment by means of a prospectus supplement and we will extend the offer periods if necessary so that at least five business days remain in the offer period following notice of the material change. We will distribute the supplement to the registered holders of the Original Notes. Depending on the significance of the amendment and the manner of disclosure to the registered holders, we may extend, pursuant to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements applicable to the 2034 Original Notes and the requirements of federal securities law, the exchange offer if the exchange offer would otherwise expire during such period.

Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make public announcements of any extension, delay in acceptance, termination or amendment of the exchange offers, we have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement, other than by making a timely release to an appropriate news agency.

Conditions to the Exchange Offers

Notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offers and subject to the terms of the Registration Rights Agreements applicable to the 2034 Original Notes, we will not be required to accept for exchange, or to issue Exchange Notes in exchange for, any Original Notes and may terminate or amend the exchange offers, if at any time before the expiration time of the exchange offers any of the following events occur:

In addition, we will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Original Notes of any holder that has not made to us:

31

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offers notwithstanding the satisfaction of the foregoing, and to reject for exchange any Original Notes upon the occurrence of any of the conditions to the exchange offers specified above. We will give oral or written notice of any extension, non-acceptance, termination or amendment to the holders of the Original Notes as promptly as practicable.

These conditions are for our sole benefit, and we may assert them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times at our sole discretion. Our failure at any time to exercise any of these rights will not mean that we have waived our rights. Each right will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times. If we waive a condition, we may be required in order to comply with applicable securities laws, to extend the expiration time of the exchange offers.

In addition, we will not accept for exchange any Original Notes tendered, and will not issue Exchange Notes in exchange for any such Original Notes, if at such time any stop order has been threatened or is in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indentures relating to the Exchange Notes under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

Procedures for Tendering

How to Tender Generally

Only a holder of the Original Notes as determined by our records or those of Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee or DTC may tender Original Notes in the exchange offers. To tender in the exchange offers, a holder must either (1) comply with the procedures for physical tender or (2) comply with the automated tender offer program procedures of DTC, described below.

To complete a physical tender, a holder must:

To be tendered effectively, the exchange agent must receive any physical delivery of the letter of transmittal and other required documents at its address provided above under “Prospectus Summary—Summary of the Exchange Offers—The Exchange Agent” prior to the expiration time.

To complete a tender through DTC’s automated tender offer program, the exchange agent must receive, prior to the expiration time, a timely confirmation of book-entry transfer of such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described below or a properly transmitted agent’s message.

The tender by a holder that is not withdrawn prior to the expiration time and our acceptance of that tender will constitute an agreement between the holder and us in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions described in this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

32

THE METHOD OF DELIVERY OF ORIGINAL NOTES, THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL AND ALL OTHER REQUIRED DOCUMENTS TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT IS AT YOUR ELECTION AND RISK. RATHER THAN MAIL THESE ITEMS, WE RECOMMEND THAT YOU USE AN OVERNIGHT OR HAND DELIVERY SERVICE. IN ALL CASES, YOU SHOULD ALLOW SUFFICIENT TIME TO ENSURE DELIVERY TO THE EXCHANGE AGENT BEFORE THE EXPIRATION TIME. YOU SHOULD NOT SEND THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL OR ORIGINAL NOTES TO US. YOU MAY REQUEST YOUR BROKER, DEALER, COMMERCIAL BANK, TRUST COMPANY OR OTHER NOMINEE TO EFFECT THE ABOVE TRANSACTIONS FOR YOU.

How to Tender if You Are a Beneficial Owner

If you beneficially own Original Notes that are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee and you wish to tender those Original Notes, you should contact the registered holder as soon as possible and instruct the registered holder to tender on your behalf. If you are a beneficial owner and wish to tender on your own behalf, you must, prior to completing and executing the letter of transmittal and delivering your Original Notes, either:

The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time and may not be completed prior to the expiration time.

Signatures and Signature Guarantees

You must have signatures on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal described below under “—Withdrawal of Tenders” guaranteed by an eligible institution unless the Original Notes are tendered:

An “eligible institution” is member firm of a registered national securities exchange or of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., a commercial bank or trust company having an office or correspondent in the United States, or an eligible guarantor institution within the meaning of Rule 17Ad-15 under the Exchange Act, that is a member of one of the recognized signature guarantee programs identified in the letter of transmittal.

When Endorsements or Bond Powers Are Needed

If a person other than the registered holder of any Original Notes signs the letter of transmittal, the Original Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The registered holder must sign the bond power as the registered holder’s name appears on the Original Notes. An eligible institution must guarantee that signature.

If the letter of transmittal or any Original Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, or officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, those persons should so indicate when signing. Unless we waive this requirement, they also must submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to deliver the letter of transmittal.

Tendering Through DTC’s Automated Tender Offer Program

The exchange agent and DTC have confirmed that any financial institution that is a participant in DTC’s system may use DTC’s automated tender offer program to tender. Accordingly, participants in the program may,

33

instead of physically completing and signing the letter of transmittal and delivering it to the exchange agent, transmit their acceptance of the exchange offers electronically. They may do so by causing DTC to transfer the Original Notes to the exchange agent in accordance with its procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent.

An agent’s message is a message transmitted by DTC to and received by the exchange agent and forming part of the book-entry confirmation, stating that:

Determinations Under the Exchange Offers

We will determine at our sole discretion all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility, time of receipt, acceptance of tendered Original Notes and withdrawal of tendered Original Notes. Our determination will be final and binding. We reserve the absolute right to reject any Original Notes not properly tendered or any Original Notes our acceptance of which, in the opinion of our counsel, might be unlawful. Our interpretation of the terms and conditions of the exchange offers, including the instructions in the letter of transmittal, will be final and binding on all parties.

Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of Original Notes must be cured within such time as we determine. Neither we, the exchange agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of defects or irregularities with respect to tenders of Original Notes, nor will we or those persons incur any liability for failure to give such notification. Tenders of Original Notes will not be deemed made until such defects or irregularities have been cured or waived. Any Original Notes received by the exchange agent that are not properly tendered and as to which the defects or irregularities have not been cured or waived will be returned to the tendering holder, unless otherwise provided in the letter of transmittal, as soon as practicable following the expiration time.

When We Will Issue Exchange Notes

In all cases, we will issue Exchange Notes for Original Notes that we have accepted for exchange in the exchange offers only after the exchange agent timely receives:

Return of Original Notes Not Accepted or Exchanged

If we do not accept any tendered Original Notes for exchange for any reason described in the terms and conditions of the exchange offers or if Original Notes are submitted for a greater principal amount than the holder desires to exchange, we will return the unaccepted or non-exchanged Original Notes without expense to their tendering holder. In the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures described below, such non-exchanged Original Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC. These actions will occur as promptly as practicable after the expiration or termination of the exchange offers.

34

Your Representations to Us

By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will make a request to establish an account with respect to the Original Notes at DTC for purposes of the exchange offers promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution participating in DTC’s system may make book-entry delivery of Original Notes by causing DTC to transfer such Original Notes into the exchange agent’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for transfer.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender at any time prior to the expiration time. For a withdrawal to be effective:

Any notice of withdrawal must:

35

If Original Notes have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Original Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form, eligibility and time of receipt of notice of withdrawal, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any Original Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offers.

Any Original Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged for any reason will be returned to their holder without cost to the holder, or, in the case of Original Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC according to the procedures described above, such Original Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Original Notes. This return or crediting will take place as soon as practicable after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offers. You may retender properly withdrawn Original Notes by following one of the procedures described above under “—Procedures for Tendering” at any time on or prior to the expiration time.

Fees and Expenses

We will bear the expenses of soliciting tenders. The principal solicitation is being made by mail; however, we may make additional solicitation by facsimile, email, telephone or in person by our officers and regular employees and those of our affiliates.

We have not retained any dealer-manager in connection with the exchange offers and will not make any payments to broker-dealers or others soliciting acceptances of the exchange offers. We will, however, pay the exchange agent reasonable and customary fees for its services and reimburse it for its related reasonable out-of-pocket expenses. We may also pay brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries the reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by them in forwarding copies of this prospectus, letters of transmittal and related documents to the beneficial owners of the Original Notes and in handling or forwarding tenders for exchange.

We will pay cash expenses to be incurred in connection with the exchange offers. They include:

Transfer Taxes

If you tender your Original Notes for exchange, you will not be required to pay any transfer taxes. We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the exchange of Original Notes in the exchange offers. The tendering holder will, however, be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the registered holder or any other person, if:

36

If satisfactory evidence of payment of any transfer taxes payable by a tendering holder is not submitted with the letter of transmittal, the amount of the transfer taxes will be billed directly to that tendering holder. The exchange agent will retain possession of Exchange Notes with a face amount equal to the amount of the transfer taxes due until it receives payment of the taxes.

Accounting Treatment

We will record the Exchange Notes at the same carrying value as the Original Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of the exchange. Accordingly, we will not recognize any gain or loss for accounting purposes upon completion of the exchange offers.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offers, you will remain subject to the existing restrictions on transfer of the Original Notes. In general, you may not offer or sell the Original Notes unless either they are registered under the Securities Act or the offer or sale is exempt from or not subject to registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the Registration Rights Agreements, as applicable, we do not intend to register resales of the Original Notes under the Securities Act. We generally have no obligation to re-offer to exchange the Exchange Notes for Original Notes following the expiration of the exchange offers. The tender of Original Notes in the exchange offers will reduce the outstanding principal amount of the Original Notes. Due to the corresponding reduction in liquidity, this may have an adverse effect on, and increase the volatility of, the market price of any Original Notes that you continue to hold.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the 2021 Indenture (as defined below), applicable to the 2028 Exchange Notes, 2031 Exchange Notes, 2032 Exchange Notes and 2051 Exchange Notes. As such, when we refer to a series of Notes, we are describing the material provisions of the corresponding series of the 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2051 Original Notes as well as the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes, and when we refer to the Notes, we are describing the material provisions of the 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2051 Original Notes and the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes.

Capital Holdings LLC agreed to fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, with the other existing guarantors, guarantee the Issuer’s 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2051 Original Notes.

Pursuant to the Sixth Supplemental Indenture, the 2021 Base Indenture will be amended in order to effect the qualification of the 2021 Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act.

In this Description of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, the term “2021 Indenture” refers to the 2021 Base Indenture, as supplemented separately by the Supplemental Indentures for the applicable series of Notes, as applicable. The terms of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of each series include those stated in the 2021 Indenture and those made part of the 2021 Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuer may issue further additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of any series from time to time, and such additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of such series may be issued under the 2021 Base Indenture as supplemented either by the Supplemental Indenture for such series of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or one or more other supplemental indentures. Any issuance of additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes is subject to all of the covenants in the 2021 Indenture. The 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of any series and any additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of such series subsequently issued, together with any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Exchange Notes issued with respect to such series, will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the 2021 Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that any additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes that are not fungible with the Notes of any series (or with any other additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of that series) for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN, common code or other identifying number, as applicable. The 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of any series and any such further additional 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes will be secured equally and ratably by the Liens on the Collateral described below under the heading “ —Collateral”.

The Issuer issued the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Original Notes, and will issue the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Exchange Notes, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The 2028 Exchange Notes will mature on May 26, 2028; the 2031 Exchange Notes will mature on June 10, 2031; the 2032 Exchange Notes will mature on February 15, 2032; the 2051 Exchange Notes will mature on October 7, 2051.

Interest on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid (and, in the case of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Exchange Notes, interest will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the corresponding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Original Notes exchanged therefor, the date it was most recently paid on such 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Original Notes). If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

Interest on the Original Notes is, and interest on the Exchange Notes will be, computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Interest on the 2028 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2028 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 7.397% per annum; interest on the 2031 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2031 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 3.125% per annum; interest on the 2032 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2032 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 4.375% per annum; and interest on the 2051 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2051 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 4.125% per annum.

The 2028 Original Notes, the 2031 Original Notes, the 2032 Original Notes and the 2051 Original Notes of each series are, and the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes of each series of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes initially will be, evidenced by one or more global notes deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of, Cede & Co., as nominee of

The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Guarantees

The obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, including any repurchase obligation resulting from a Change of Control Repurchase Event, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Note Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by each of the Initial Guarantors and any Additional Guarantors (as defined below) (the Additional Guarantors, if any, together with the Initial Guarantors, the “Guarantors”).

Any New Blue Owl Entity, other than a Non-Guarantor Entity, must provide a Note Guarantee, whereupon such New Blue Owl Entity shall be an “Additional Guarantor.”

The Issuer is a finance subsidiary with no operations or assets other than in such capacity, and the Initial Guarantors are holding companies that hold equity interests directly or indirectly in operating entities. The Issuer and the Initial Guarantors depend upon funds from the Initial Guarantors’ respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations in respect of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable. Accordingly, the credit character of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes is comparable to debt issued by a holding company.

Each Note Guarantee will be a general unsecured obligation of the relevant Guarantor and will be limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally terminate if:

40

“New Blue Owl Entity” means any subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. that is governed by Blue Owl Capital GP LLC other than (i) a then-existing Guarantor, (ii) any Person in which Blue Owl Capital Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interest through one or more then-existing Guarantors or (iii) any Person through which Blue Owl Capital Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interests in one or more then-existing Guarantors.

“Non-Guarantor Entity” means any Person so designated by the Company pursuant to Section 1410 of the 2021 Indenture.

Ranking

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and the payment of any Note Guarantee will:

The 2021 Indenture does not contain any limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness that the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries may incur.

The 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and Note Guarantees are obligations of the Credit Parties and are not obligations of the subsidiaries of the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties do not conduct material independent operations and substantially all of their operations are conducted through subsidiaries of the Guarantors. The Issuer’s cash flow and ability to service debt, including the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, depend upon receiving loans, advances and other payments from the Guarantors and their subsidiaries. The Guarantors will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by their subsidiaries to make such payments to the Issuer. These subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and they have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or to provide the Credit Parties with funds to satisfy any payment obligations with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by subsidiaries of the Guarantors could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments due to the Guarantors by their respective subsidiaries will also be contingent upon the earnings and business considerations of such subsidiaries. The Guarantors’ right to receive any assets of any of their respective subsidiaries, as a common equity holder of such subsidiaries, upon their liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to participate in those assets, would be structurally subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred equity-holders, if any. Because the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes are unsecured, even if any of the Credit Parties were a creditor of any Guarantor’s subsidiary, its rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiary and any indebtedness that is senior to that held by the Credit Parties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes and Guarantees.”

41

Limitations on Liens

The 2021 Indenture provides that the Credit Parties will not, and will not cause or permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective subsidiaries (to the extent of their ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such subsidiaries, without providing that the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long as such other indebtedness is so secured.

“Permitted Liens” means (a) liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any subsidiary existing at the time such entity becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. or is merged into a direct or indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc.; provided that such liens are not created or incurred in connection with such transaction and do not extend to any other subsidiary, (b) statutory liens, liens for taxes or assessments or governmental liens not yet due or delinquent or which can be paid without penalty or are being contested in good faith, (c) other liens of a similar nature as those described above, (d) liens existing on the original issue date of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and (e) any lien that renews, extends, replaces or refunds any lien permitted hereby without increasing the principal of the indebtedness secured thereby. This covenant will not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of the Credit Parties and their respective subsidiaries.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions

No Credit Party shall be party to a Substantially All Merger or participate in a Substantially All Sale, unless:

For as long as any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes remain outstanding, all equity and voting interests of the Issuer must be owned directly or indirectly by one or more Guarantors and each of the Credit Parties must be organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction.

“Credit Group” means the Credit Parties and the Credit Parties’ direct and indirect subsidiaries (to the extent of their economic ownership interest in such subsidiaries) taken as a whole.

42

“Person” means and includes natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures, associations, companies, business trusts, or other organizations, irrespective of whether they are legal entities.

“Substantially All Merger” means a merger or consolidation of one or more Credit Parties with or into another Person that would, in one or a series of related transactions, result in the transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

“Substantially All Sale” means a sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance to any other Person in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

Any Person that becomes a Successor Party pursuant to this covenant will be substituted for the applicable Credit Party in the 2021 Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the 2021 Indenture. As a result, the Successor Party may exercise the rights and powers of the applicable Credit Party under the 2021 Indenture, and, except in the case of a lease, the prior Credit Party will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations under the 2021 Indenture and under the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and Note Guarantees.

Any substitution of a Successor Party for the applicable Credit Party might be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes for “new” notes, resulting in recognition of gain or loss for such purposes and possibly certain other adverse tax consequences to beneficial owners of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes. In addition, the jurisdiction in which the Successor Party is organized, incorporated or engaged in business may impose withholding tax on payments made by such Successor Party under the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, and Holders and beneficial owners of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes will not be entitled to be grossed up or otherwise compensated for such withholding tax. Holders and beneficial owners of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of any such substitution.

Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes as described below, the Issuer will make an offer to each holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to repurchase all or any part of that holder’s 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes are purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Issuer will give notice to each holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given. The notice shall, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

43

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

The paying agent will promptly deliver to each holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, and the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will promptly authenticate (if applicable) and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes an offer in respect of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Issuer has given written notice of a redemption as provided below under “—Optional Redemption of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes.”

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available at the time of any Change of Control Repurchase Event to make required repurchases of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes tendered. The failure of the Issuer or the Guarantors to repurchase the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event would result in a default under the 2021 Indenture. If the holders of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes exercise their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the financial effect of this repurchase could result in defaults under future debt instruments to which the Issuer or the Guarantors are party, including the acceleration of the payment of any borrowings thereunder. It is possible that the Credit Parties will not have sufficient funds at the time of the Change of Control Repurchase Event to make the required repurchase of the Credit Parties’ other debt and the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes. See “Risk Factors—The Issuer may not be able to repurchase the 2028 Exchange Notes, the 2031 Exchange Notes, the 2032 Exchange Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.”

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties and assets of the Credit Group. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to require the Issuer to repurchase the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Credit Group to another Person or group may be uncertain.

For purposes of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes is lowered as a result of a Change of Control to below Investment Grade by any two of the three Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended until the ratings are announced if during such 60 day period the rating of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and

44

2051 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Issuer in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Issuer will request the Rating Agencies to make such confirmation in connection with any Change of Control and shall promptly deliver an officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of the following:

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of a Change of Control and a related Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

Optional Redemption of the Notes

Prior to the Par Call Date, the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum, as determined by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) on any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus (i) 40 basis points for the 2028 Original Notes and the 2028 Exchange Notes, (ii) 25 basis points for the 2031 Original Notes and the 2031 Exchange Notes, (iii) 40 basis points for the 2032 Original Notes and the 2032 Exchange Notes and (iv) 35 basis points for the 2051 Original Notes and the 2051 Exchange Notes, (the “make-whole” amount), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On or after the Par Call Date, the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

“Par Call Date” means with respect to the indicated series of notes the date opposite such series of notes

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time, (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the date notice of the redemption is given based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one

46

yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the date notice of the redemption is given H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such date notice of the redemption is given of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or pro rata in accordance with DTC’s procedures. No 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. Notice of redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC’s procedures) to each holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to be redeemed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days, as applicable, prior to the date set for such redemption. This notice will include the following information: the redemption date; the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price); if less than all of the outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to be redeemed; that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable and that interest will cease to accrue; the place or places where such 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and the CUSIP number of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to be redeemed. The redemption date and the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price) shall be set by the Issuer upon notice from the Issuer to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the Issuer’s calculation of the redemption price. For so long as the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

By no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with another paying agent (or, if any of the Credit Parties is acting as the Issuer’s paying agent with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, such Credit Party will segregate and hold in trust as provided in the 2021 Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the aggregate redemption

47

price of, and (except if the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued interest on, all of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or the part thereof to be redeemed on that date. On the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon all of the Notes to be redeemed, and interest, if any, on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after that date. Upon surrender of any such 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes for redemption, the Issuer will pay those Notes surrendered at the redemption price together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the redemption date.

Any debt securities to be redeemed only in part must be surrendered at the office or agency established by the Issuer for such purpose, and the Issuer will execute, and, if applicable, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to a holder without service charge, new 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by that holder, in a principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes that holder surrenders.

On and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or any portion of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the redemption amount.

Financial Reports

For so long as Blue Owl Capital Inc. is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer must provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after Blue Owl Capital Inc. files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Blue Owl Capital Inc. may file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. In connection with any annual report or quarterly report of Blue Owl Capital Inc., the Issuer will provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), an unaudited reconciliation indicating any material differences between the financial information of Blue Owl Capital Inc. and the financial information of the Issuer and the Guarantors on a combined and consolidated basis, taken as a whole, provided that, the requirement to deliver such unaudited reconciliation shall not be applicable at any time Blue Owl Capital Inc. guarantees the notes. The financial information of the Issuer and the Guarantors, collectively, is substantially the same as the financial information of Blue Owl Capital Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except with respect to certain intercompany transactions that do not materially impact the information presented as well as certain tax assets and related liabilities under our Amended and Restated Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of October 22, 2021.

For so long as any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes remain outstanding and have not become freely tradeable without restrictions by non-affiliates of the Credit Parties pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Issuer will, or will cause its affiliates to, furnish to the holders of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that if any time Blue Owl Capital Inc. no longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties, such information shall be provided for either (i) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Person). The Issuer will, or will cause its affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

The following will constitute “Events of Default” under the 2021 Indenture with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes:

48

If an Event of Default with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes may declare, by notice as provided in the 2021 Indenture, the principal amount of all outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided that, in the case of an Event of Default involving certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, acceleration is automatic; and, provided further, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived.

Any past default under the 2021 Indenture with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, and any Event of Default arising therefrom, may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, except in the case of (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any note, or the repurchase price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event, or (ii) default in respect of a covenant or provision which may not be amended or modified without the consent of the holder of each note affected.

The Trustee is required within the later of 90 days after the occurrence of a default (which is continuing and of which a responsible trust officer of the Trustee has received written notice) or promptly after receipt of written notice of such default, with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes (without regard to any grace period or notice requirements), to give to the holders notice of such default; provided that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any note, or the repurchase price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the 2021 Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes unless such holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may require indemnification by the holders, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, with respect to which a default has occurred before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the 2021 Indenture at the request of the holders. Subject to such right of indemnification and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes may direct the time,

49

method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the 2021 Indenture, shall not subject the Trustee to liability for which it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk of liability is not reasonably assured to it, shall not prejudice the rights of holders not joining in the direction and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

No holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes may institute any action against the Credit Parties under the 2021 Indenture (except actions for payment of overdue principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such Notes in accordance with its terms) unless (i) the holder has given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes specifying an Event of Default, as required under the 2021 Indenture, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes under the 2021 Indenture shall have requested the Trustee to institute such action and offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iii) the Trustee shall not have instituted such action within 60 days of such request and (iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes.

The Issuer will be required to furnish the Trustee annually a statement by an officer to the effect that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Issuer is not in default in the fulfillment of any of its obligations under the 2021 Indenture or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default and the action(s) the Issuer intends to take to cure such default(s).

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Except as prohibited by the 2021 Indenture, if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee sufficient money or United States government obligations, or both, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes on the scheduled due dates therefor, then at the Issuer’s option the Issuer may be discharged from certain of its obligations with respect to the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes or elect that its failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants, including those described in “—Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event,” “—Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions,” “—Limitations on Liens” and the requirement to add Additional Guarantors as described in “—Guarantees” will not be deemed to be or result in an event of default under the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes.

Satisfaction and Discharge

At the Issuer’s option, the 2021 Indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to any 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes issued thereunder (except for certain surviving rights of the Trustee), and the Trustee, at the expense of Issuer, will execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the 2021 Indenture, when:

50

Modification and Waiver

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify the 2021 Indenture in a manner that affects the interests or rights of the holders of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes at the time outstanding. However, the 2021 Indenture will require the consent of each holder of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes affected by any modification which would:

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may also modify and amend the 2021 Indenture without the consent of any holders of 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes to:

51

The 2021 Indenture will permit the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Notes, or of any other series of debt securities issued under the applicable 2021 Base Indenture, as it may be supplemented, which is affected by the modification or amendment, to waive compliance with certain covenants contained in the 2021 Indenture. Such modification might be deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes for “new” Notes with the modified terms, resulting in recognition of gain or loss for such purposes and possibly certain other tax consequences to the beneficial owners of the Notes. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of any such modification.

Governing Law

The 2021 Indenture, 2028, 2031, 2032 and 2051 Notes and Note Guarantees are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

Trustee

The Trustee under the 2021 Indenture is Wilmington Trust, National Association. Wilmington Trust, National Association, in each of its capacities, including without limitation as trustee and paying agent, assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Issuer or its affiliates or any

52

other party contained in this document or the related documents or for any failure by Issuer or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information, or for any information provided to it by Issuer, including but not limited to settlement amounts and any other information.

DESCRIPTION OF 2034 NOTES

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the 2024 Indenture (as defined below), applicable to both the 2034 Exchange Notes and the 2034 Original Notes. As such, when we refer to a series of 2034 Notes, we are describing the material provisions of the corresponding series of both the 2034 Original Notes and the 2034 Exchange Notes, and when we refer to the 2034 Notes, we are describing the material provisions of both the 2034 Original Notes and the 2034 Exchange Notes. This description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the 2024 Indenture governing the 2034 Exchange Notes offered hereby. You should read the 2024 Indenture because it, and not this description, will define your rights as a holder of the 2034 Exchange Notes offered hereby. A copy of the 2024 Indenture is available from the Issuer upon request.

General

Blue Owl Finance LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Issuer”) and an indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the “Company”), hereby offers to exchange up to $1.0 billion in aggregate principal amount of its 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Exchange Notes”) for an equal amount of its outstanding 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2034 Original Notes”). We refer to the 2034 Original Notes and the 2034 Exchange Notes, collectively, as the “2034 Notes.”

The 2034 Original Notes were issued, and the 2034 Exchange Notes, will be issued, under a base indenture (the “2024 Base Indenture”), dated as of April 18, 2024, among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee, as supplemented by the First Supplemental Indenture dated as of April 18, 2024, by and among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and Trustee, pursuant to which the Issuer issued 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 (the “2024 First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the 2024 Base Indenture, the “2024 Indenture”).

The 2034 Additional Notes were issued as additional 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034 under the 2024 Indenture. The issuer originally issued $750.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 6.250% Senior Notes due 2034. The 2034 Additional Notes form a single class of securities with the 2034 Initial Notes for all purposes under the 2024 Indenture and have the same terms as those of the 2034 Initial Notes (other than issue date and issue price). The 2034 Additional Notes issued pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act were initially issued bearing a temporary CUSIP number that differs from the CUSIP number under which the 2034 Initial Notes issued pursuant to Regulation S currently trade. On July 16, 2024, the 2034 Additional Notes in reliance on Regulation S of the Securities Act were consolidated and became fully fungible with the 2034 Initial Notes issued in reliance on Regulation S for trading purposes.

In this Description of 2034 Notes, the term “2024 Indenture” refers to the 2024 Base Indenture and 2024 Base Indenture, as supplemented separately by the 2024 Supplemental Indenture. The terms of the 2034 Notes include those stated in the 2024 Indenture and those made part of the 2024 Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”).

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Issuer may issue further additional 2034 Notes of any series from time to time, and such additional 2034 Notes of such series may be issued under the 2024 Base Indenture as supplemented either by the 2024 Supplemental Indenture for such series of Notes or one or more other supplemental indentures. Any issuance of additional 2034 Notes is subject to all of the covenants in the 2024 Indenture. The Notes of any series and any additional 2034 Notes of such series subsequently issued, together with any 2034 Exchange Notes issued with respect to such series in accordance with the applicable Registration Rights Agreement, will be treated as a single series for all purposes under the 2024 Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase; provided that any additional 2034 Notes that are not fungible with the Notes

54

of any series (or with any other additional 2034 Notes of that series) for U.S. federal income tax purposes will have a separate CUSIP, ISIN, common code or other identifying number, as applicable.

The Issuer issued the 2034 Original Notes, and will issue the 2034 Exchange Notes, in minimum denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The 2034 Exchange Notes will mature on April 18, 2034.

Interest on the 2034 Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid (and, in the case of 2034 Exchange Notes, interest will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid on the corresponding 2034 Original Notes exchanged therefor, the date it was most recently paid on such 2034 Original Notes) (other than for the 2034 Additional Notes, for which the interest is deemed to have accrued from April 18, 2024). If an interest payment date or the maturity date falls on a day that is not a Business Day, the related payment of principal or interest will be made on the next succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest shall accrue for the intervening period.

Interest on the 2034 Original Notes accrues, and interest on the 2034 Exchange Notes will accrue, at the rate of 6.250% per annum.

Interest on the 2034 Exchange Notes will be payable semiannually in arrears on April 18 and October 18 each year.

Payments of principal of and interest on the 2034 Notes issued in book-entry form or definitive form, if any, will be made as described below under the caption “-Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes.”

The 2034 Original Notes are, and the 2034 Exchange Notes initially will be, evidenced by one or more global notes deposited with a custodian for, and registered in the name of, Cede & Co., as nominee of The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”).

Guarantees

The obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the 2034 Notes, including any repurchase obligation resulting from a Change of Control Repurchase Event, will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Note Guarantees”), jointly and severally, by each of the Initial Guarantors and any Additional Guarantors (as defined below) (the Additional Guarantors, if any, together with the Initial Guarantors, the “Guarantors”).

Any New Blue Owl Entity, other than a Non-Guarantor Entity, must provide a Note Guarantee, whereupon such New Blue Owl Entity shall be an “Additional Guarantor.”

The Issuer is a finance subsidiary with no operations or assets other than in such capacity, and the Initial Guarantors are holding companies that hold equity interests directly or indirectly in operating entities. The Issuer and the Initial Guarantors depend upon funds from the Initial Guarantors’ respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations in respect of the 2034 Notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable. Accordingly, the credit character of the 2034 Notes is comparable to debt issued by a holding company.

Each Note Guarantee will be a general unsecured obligation of the relevant Guarantor and will be limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the 2034 Notes or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will automatically and unconditionally terminate if:

“New Blue Owl Entity” means any subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. that is governed by Blue Owl Capital GP LLC other than (i) a then-existing Guarantor, (ii) any Person in which Blue Owl Capital Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interest through one or more then-existing Guarantors or (iii) any Person through which Blue Owl Capital Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interests in one or more then-existing Guarantors.

“Non-Guarantor Entity” means any Person designated by the Issuer as such in accordance with the 2024 Indenture. The 2024 Indenture will provide that the Issuer may designate any Person as a Non-Guarantor Entity if (i) such Person is directly or indirectly wholly owned by one or more Credit Parties, (ii) such Person, together with all then existing Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to this clause (ii) on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole, would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor provision) of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (the foregoing, the “Non-Guarantor Limitation”), (iii) such Person is a “controlled foreign corporation” (a “CFC”) within the meaning of Section 957 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), (iv) such Person is a subsidiary of a CFC or (v) such Person has no material assets other than capital stock and/or indebtedness of one or more CFCs. The Issuer may, from time to time, remove the designation of any Person as a Non-Guarantor Entity, and must remove the designation as to one or more Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence to the extent that, as of the end of any fiscal quarter, such Non-Guarantor Entities exceed the Non-Guarantor Limitation. Any such designation or removal by the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of one or more resolutions certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer to have been duly adopted by the Issuer’s member or members or board of directors giving effect to such designation or removal, and in the case of a designation, a certificate of a financial or other executive officer of the Issuer certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

Ranking

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the 2034 Notes and the payment of any Note Guarantee will:

56

The 2024 Indenture does not contain any limitations on the amount of additional indebtedness that the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries may incur.

The 2034 Notes and Note Guarantees are obligations of the Credit Parties and are not obligations of the subsidiaries of the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties do not conduct material independent operations and substantially all of their operations are conducted through subsidiaries of the Guarantors. The Issuer’s cash flow and ability to service debt, including the 2034 Notes, depend upon receiving loans, advances and other payments from the Guarantors and their subsidiaries. The Guarantors will depend on the distribution of earnings, loans or other payments by their subsidiaries to make such payments to the Issuer. These subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and they have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the 2034 Notes or to provide the Credit Parties with funds to satisfy any payment obligations with respect to the 2034 Notes. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by subsidiaries of the Guarantors could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments due to the Guarantors by their respective subsidiaries will also be contingent upon the earnings and business considerations of such subsidiaries. The Guarantors’ right to receive any assets of any of their respective subsidiaries, as a common equity holder of such subsidiaries, upon their liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the 2034 Notes to participate in those assets, would be structurally subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred equity-holders, if any. Because the Notes are unsecured, even if any of the Credit Parties were a creditor of any Guarantor’s subsidiary, its rights as a creditor would be subordinate to any security interest in the assets of such subsidiary and any indebtedness that is senior to that held by the Credit Parties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to the Exchange 2034 Exchange Notes and Guarantees.”

Limitations on Liens

The 2024 Indenture provide that the Credit Parties will not, and will not cause or permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective subsidiaries (to the extent of their ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such subsidiaries, without providing that the 2034 Notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other indebtedness of or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the 2034 Notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the 2034 Notes or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long as such other indebtedness is so secured.

“Permitted Liens” means (a) liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any subsidiary existing at the time such entity becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc. or is merged into a direct or indirect subsidiary of Blue Owl Capital Inc.; provided that such liens are not created or incurred in connection with such transaction and do not extend to any other subsidiary, (b) statutory liens, liens for taxes or assessments or governmental liens not yet due or delinquent or which can be paid without penalty or are being contested in good faith, (c) other liens of a similar nature as those described above, (d) liens existing on the original issue date of the 2034 Notes and (e) any lien that renews, extends, replaces or refunds any lien permitted hereby without increasing the principal of the indebtedness secured thereby. This covenant will not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their subsidiaries to incur indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of the Credit Parties and their respective subsidiaries.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions

No Credit Party shall be party to a Substantially All Merger or participate in a Substantially All Sale, unless:

57

For as long as any 2034 Notes remain outstanding, all equity and voting interests of the Issuer must be owned directly or indirectly by one or more Guarantors and each of the Credit Parties must be organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction.

“Credit Group” means the Credit Parties and the Credit Parties’ direct and indirect subsidiaries (to the extent of their economic ownership interest in such subsidiaries) taken as a whole.

“Person” means and includes natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited liability companies, joint ventures, associations, companies, business trusts, or other organizations, irrespective of whether they are legal entities.

“Substantially All Merger” means a merger or consolidation of one or more Credit Parties with or into another Person that would, in one or a series of related transactions, result in the transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

“Substantially All Sale” means a sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance to any other Person in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

Any Person that becomes a Successor Party pursuant to this covenant will be substituted for the applicable Credit Party in the 2024 Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the 2024 Indenture. As a result, the Successor Party may exercise the rights and powers of the applicable Credit Party under the 2024 Indenture, and, except in the case of a lease, the prior Credit Party will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations under the 2024 Indenture and under the 2034 Notes and Note Guarantees.

Any substitution of a Successor Party for the applicable Credit Party might be deemed for federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the 2034 Notes for “new” notes, resulting in recognition of gain or loss for such purposes and possibly certain other adverse tax consequences to beneficial owners of the 2034 Notes. In addition, the jurisdiction in which the Successor Party is organized, incorporated or engaged in business may impose withholding tax on payments made by such Successor Party under the 2034 Notes, and Holders and beneficial owners of the 2034 Notes will not be entitled to be grossed up or otherwise compensated for such withholding tax. Holders and beneficial owners of the 2034 Notes should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of any such substitution.

Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event

If a Change of Control Repurchase Event (defined below) occurs, unless the Issuer has exercised its option to redeem the 2034 Notes as described below, the Issuer will make an offer to each holder of 2034 Notes to

58

repurchase all or any part of that holder’s 2034 Notes at a repurchase price in cash equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of 2034 Notes are purchased plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the 2034 Notes repurchased to, but excluding, the date of repurchase. Within 30 days following any Change of Control Repurchase Event or, at the Issuer’s option, prior to any Change of Control, but after the public announcement of the Change of Control, the Issuer will give notice to each holder (with a copy to the Trustee) describing the transaction or transactions that constitute or may constitute the Change of Control Repurchase Event and offering to repurchase 2034 Notes on the payment date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is given. The notice shall, if given prior to the date of consummation of the Change of Control, state that the offer to repurchase is conditioned on the Change of Control Repurchase Event occurring on or prior to the payment date specified in the notice. The Issuer will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with the repurchase of the 2034 Notes as a result of a Change of Control Repurchase Event. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2034 Notes, the Issuer will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control Repurchase Event provisions of the 2034 Notes by virtue of such conflict.

On the Change of Control Repurchase Event payment date, the Issuer will, to the extent lawful:

The paying agent will promptly deliver to each holder of 2034 Notes properly tendered the repurchase price for the 2034 Notes, and the Issuer will execute and the Trustee will promptly authenticate (if applicable) and deliver (or cause to be transferred by book-entry) to each holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of any 2034 Notes surrendered; provided that each new note will be in a minimum principal amount of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Issuer will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the 2034 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event if (i) a third party makes an offer in respect of the 2034 Notes in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements for an offer made by the Issuer and such third party purchases all 2034 Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under its offer or (ii) the Issuer has given written notice of a redemption as provided below under “—Optional Redemption of the Notes.”

There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available at the time of any Change of Control Repurchase Event to make required repurchases of 2034 Notes tendered. The failure of the Issuer or the Guarantors to repurchase the 2034 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event would result in a default under the 2024 Indenture. If the holders of the 2034 Notes exercise their right to require the Issuer to repurchase the 2034 Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the financial effect of this repurchase could result in defaults under future debt instruments to which the Issuer or the Guarantors are party, including the acceleration of the payment of any borrowings thereunder. It is possible that the Credit Parties will not have sufficient funds at the time of the Change of Control Repurchase Event to make the required repurchase of the Credit Parties’ other debt and the 2034 Notes. See “Risk Factors—The Issuer may not be able to repurchase the Exchange Notes upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event.”

The definition of “Change of Control” includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties and assets of the Credit Group.

59

Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of 2034 Notes to require the Issuer to repurchase the 2034 Notes as a result of a sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of less than all of the assets of the Credit Group to another Person or group may be uncertain.

For purposes of the 2034 Notes:

“Below Investment Grade Rating Event” means the rating on the 2034 Notes is lowered as a result of a Change of Control to below Investment Grade by any two of the three Rating Agencies on any date from the date of the public notice of an arrangement that could result in a Change of Control until the end of the 60-day period following public notice of the occurrence of a Change of Control (which period shall be extended until the ratings are announced if during such 60 day period the rating of the 2034 Notes is under publicly announced consideration for possible downgrade by either of the Rating Agencies); provided that a Below Investment Grade Rating Event otherwise arising by virtue of a particular reduction in rating shall not be deemed to have occurred as a result of a particular Change of Control (and thus shall not be deemed a Below Investment Grade Rating Event for purposes of the definition of Change of Control Repurchase Event hereunder) if the Rating Agencies making the reduction in rating to which this definition would otherwise apply do not announce or publicly confirm or inform the Issuer in writing at its request that the reduction was the result, in whole or in part, of any event or circumstance comprised of or arising as a result of, or in respect of, the applicable Change of Control (whether or not the applicable Change of Control shall have occurred at the time of the Below Investment Grade Rating Event). The Issuer will request the Rating Agencies to make such confirmation in connection with any Change of Control and shall promptly deliver an officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying as to whether or not such confirmation has been received or denied.

“Change of Control” means the occurrence of the following:

“Change of Control Repurchase Event” means the occurrence of a Change of Control and a related Below Investment Grade Rating Event.

“Continuing Blue Owl Entity” means any entity that, immediately following any relevant date of determination, is directly or indirectly controlled by one or more persons who, as of any date of determination (i) each have devoted substantially all of his or her business and professional time to the activities of the Credit Parties and/or their subsidiaries or affiliated funds and investment vehicles during the 12-month period immediately preceding such date and (ii) directly or indirectly control a majority of the voting stock (or other similar interests) in Blue Owl Capital Inc. or any successor entity.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Inc. or any successor thereto.

“Investment Grade” means a rating of BBB- or better by S&P (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of S&P), BBB- or better from Fitch (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Fitch)

60

and Baa3 or better by Moody’s (or its equivalent under any successor rating categories of Moody’s) (or, in each case, if such Rating Agency ceases to rate the 2034 Notes for reasons outside of the Issuer’s control, the equivalent investment grade credit rating from any Rating Agency selected by the Issuer as a replacement Rating Agency).

“Majority Economic Interest” means any right or entitlement to receive more than 50% of the equity distributions or partner allocations (whether such right or entitlement results from the ownership of partner or other equity interests, securities, instruments or agreements of any kind) made to all holders of partner or other equity interests in the Credit Group (other than entities within the Credit Group).

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service or any successor thereto.

“Rating Agency” means:

“S&P” means Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC, a subsidiary of The McGraw-Hill Companies, Inc., or any successor thereto.

Optional Redemption of the Notes

Prior to the Par Call Date, the 2034 Notes will be redeemable in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price (expressed as a percentage of principal amount and rounded to three decimal places) equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of any 2034 Notes being redeemed and (ii) the sum, as determined by the Issuer, of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption) on any 2034 Notes being redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the Treasury Rate plus 30 basis points (the “make-whole” amount), plus in each case accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2034 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption. On or after the Par Call Date, the 2034 Notes may be redeemed in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option at any time and from time to time, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of any 2034 Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on the principal amount of the 2034 Notes being redeemed to, but excluding, the date of redemption.

“Par Call Date” means January 18, 2034.

“Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, yield determined by the Issuer in accordance with the following two paragraphs.

The Treasury Rate shall be determined by the Issuer after 4:15 p.m., New York City time, (or after such time as yields on U.S. government securities are posted daily by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System), on the third business day preceding the date notice of the redemption is given based upon the yield or yields for the most recent day that appear after such time on such day in the most recent statistical release published by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System designated as “Selected Interest Rates (Daily)—H.15” (or any successor designation or publication) (“H.15”) under the caption “U.S. government securities—Treasury constant maturities—Nominal” (or any successor caption or heading) (“H.15 TCM”). In determining the Treasury Rate, the Issuer shall select, as applicable: (1) the yield for the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the period from the redemption date to the Par Call Date (the “Remaining

61

Life”); or (2) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 exactly equal to the Remaining Life, the two yields—one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately shorter than and one yield corresponding to the Treasury constant maturity on H.15 immediately longer than the Remaining Life—and shall interpolate to the Par Call Date on a straight-line basis (using the actual number of days) using such yields and rounding the result to three decimal places; or (3) if there is no such Treasury constant maturity on H.15 shorter than or longer than the Remaining Life, the yield for the single Treasury constant maturity on H.15 closest to the Remaining Life. For purposes of this paragraph, the applicable Treasury constant maturity or maturities on H.15 shall be deemed to have a maturity date equal to the relevant number of months or years, as applicable, of such Treasury constant maturity from the redemption date.

If on the third business day preceding the date notice of the redemption is given H.15 TCM is no longer published, the Issuer shall calculate the Treasury Rate based on the rate per annum equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the second business day preceding such date notice of the redemption is given of the United States Treasury security maturing on, or with a maturity that is closest to, the Par Call Date, as applicable. If there is no United States Treasury security maturing on the Par Call Date but there are two or more United States Treasury securities with a maturity date equally distant from the Par Call Date, one with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date and one with a maturity date following the Par Call Date, the Issuer shall select the United States Treasury security with a maturity date preceding the Par Call Date. If there are two or more United States Treasury securities maturing on the Par Call Date or two or more United States Treasury securities meeting the criteria of the preceding sentence, the Issuer shall select from among these two or more United States Treasury securities the United States Treasury security that is trading closest to par based upon the average of the bid and asked prices for such United States Treasury securities at 11:00 a.m., New York City time. In determining the Treasury Rate in accordance with the terms of this paragraph, the semi-annual yield to maturity of the applicable United States Treasury security shall be based upon the average of the bid and asked prices (expressed as a percentage of principal amount) at 11:00 a.m., New York City time, of such United States Treasury security, and rounded to three decimal places.

The Issuer’s actions and determinations in determining the redemption price shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes, absent manifest error.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the 2034 Notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee in its sole discretion deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or pro rata in accordance with DTC’s procedures. No 2034 Notes of a principal amount of $2,000 or less will be redeemed in part. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon surrender for cancellation of the original note. Notice of redemption will be mailed or electronically delivered (or otherwise transmitted in accordance with DTC’s procedures) to each holder of 2034 Notes to be redeemed not less than 10 nor more than 60 days, as applicable, prior to the date set for such redemption. This notice will include the following information: the redemption date; the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price); if less than all of the outstanding 2034 Notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the 2034 Notes to be redeemed; that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable and that interest will cease to accrue; the place or places where such 2034 Notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and the CUSIP number of the 2034 Notes to be redeemed. The redemption date and the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price) shall be set by the Issuer upon notice from the Issuer to the Trustee. The Trustee shall have no duty to calculate or verify the Issuer’s calculation of the redemption price. For so long as the 2034 Notes are held by DTC (or another depositary), the redemption of the 2034 Notes shall be done in accordance with the policies and procedures of the depositary.

By no later than 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with another paying agent (or, if any of the Credit Parties is acting as the Issuer’s paying agent with respect to the 2034 Notes, such Credit Party will segregate and hold in trust as provided in the 2024 Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the aggregate redemption price of, and

62

(except if the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued interest on, all of the 2034 Notes or the part thereof to be redeemed on that date. On the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon all of the 2034 Notes to be redeemed, and interest, if any, on the 2034 Notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after that date. Upon surrender of any such 2034 Notes for redemption, the Issuer will pay those 2034 Notes surrendered at the redemption price together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the redemption date.

Any debt securities to be redeemed only in part must be surrendered at the office or agency established by the Issuer for such purpose, and the Issuer will execute, and, if applicable, the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to a holder without service charge, new notes of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by that holder, in a principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the 2034 Notes that holder surrenders.

On and after the date of redemption, interest will cease to accrue on the 2034 Notes or any portion of the 2034 Notes called for redemption, unless we default in the payment of the redemption amount.

Financial Reports

For so long as Blue Owl Capital Inc. is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer must provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval System (or successor system), within 15 days after Blue Owl Capital Inc. files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Blue Owl Capital Inc. may file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The financial information of the Issuer and the Guarantors, collectively, is substantially the same as the financial information of Blue Owl Capital Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, except with respect to certain intercompany transactions that do not materially impact the information presented.

For so long as any 2034 Notes remain outstanding and have not become freely tradeable without restrictions by non-affiliates of the Credit Parties pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, the Issuer will, or will cause its affiliates to, furnish to the holders of the 2034 Notes and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act; provided, however, that if any time Blue Owl Capital Inc. no longer directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties, such information shall be provided for either (i) the Credit Parties on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole or (ii) any Person that directly or indirectly controls the Credit Parties (in each case, as if such rule applied to such Person). The Issuer will, or will cause its affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

The following will constitute “Events of Default” under the 2024 Indenture with respect to the 2034 Notes:

63

“Insignificant Guarantor” means a Guarantor (or a group of Guarantors taken together) that would not, on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole together with all then existing Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of Non-Guarantor Entity, as set forth above under the caption “—Guarantees,” constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor provision) of Blue Owl Capital Inc.

If an Event of Default with respect to the Notes shall occur and be continuing, the Trustee or the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2034 Notes may declare, by notice as provided in the 2024 Indenture, the principal amount of all outstanding 2034 Notes to be due and payable immediately; provided that, in the case of an Event of Default involving certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, acceleration is automatic; and, provided further, that after such acceleration, but before a judgment or decree based on acceleration, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2034 Notes may, under certain circumstances, rescind and annul such acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal, have been cured or waived.

Any past default under the 2024 Indenture with respect to the 2034 Notes, and any Event of Default arising therefrom, may be waived by the holders of a majority in principal amount of all outstanding 2034 Notes, except in the case of (i) a default in the payment of the principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any note, or the repurchase price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event, or (ii) default in respect of a covenant or provision which may not be amended or modified without the consent of the holder of each note affected.

The Trustee is required within the later of 90 days after the occurrence of a default (which is continuing and of which a responsible trust officer of the Trustee has received written notice) or promptly after receipt of written notice of such default, with respect to the 2034 Notes (without regard to any grace period or notice requirements), to give to the holders notice of such default; provided that except in the case of a default in the payment of principal of (or premium, if any) or interest on any note, or the repurchase price in connection with a Change of Control Repurchase Event, the Trustee may withhold notice if and so long as the Trustee in good faith determines that withholding notice is in the interests of the holders.

The Trustee shall be under no obligation to exercise any of the rights or powers vested in it by the 2024 Indenture at the request or direction of any of the holders of the 2034 Notes unless such holders shall have offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee security or indemnity satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities which might be incurred by the Trustee in compliance with such request or direction. The Trustee may require indemnification by the holders, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, with respect to which a default has occurred before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the 2024 Indenture at the request of the holders. Subject to such right of indemnification and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2034 Notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the 2034 Notes, provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the 2024 Indenture, shall not subject the Trustee to liability for which it shall have reasonable grounds for believing that repayment of such funds or indemnity satisfactory to it against such risk of liability is not

64

reasonably assured to it, shall not prejudice the rights of holders not joining in the direction and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

No holder of 2034 Notes may institute any action against the Credit Parties under the 2024 Indenture (except actions for payment of overdue principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such 2034 Notes in accordance with its terms) unless (i) the holder has given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the 2034 Notes specifying an Event of Default, as required under the 2024 Indenture, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 2034 Notes under the 2024 Indenture shall have requested the Trustee to institute such action and offered, and if requested, provided to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iii) the Trustee shall not have instituted such action within 60 days of such request and (iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the 2034 Notes.

The Issuer will be required to furnish the Trustee annually a statement by an officer to the effect that, to the best of his or her knowledge, the Issuer is not in default in the fulfillment of any of its obligations under the 2024 Indenture or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default and the action(s) the Issuer intends to take to cure such default(s).

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Except as prohibited by the 2024 Indenture, if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee sufficient money or United States government obligations, or both, to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the 2034 Notes on the scheduled due dates therefor, then at the Issuer’s option the Issuer may be discharged from certain of its obligations with respect to the 2034 Notes or elect that its failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants, including those described in “—Offer to Repurchase Upon a Change of Control Repurchase Event,” “—Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions,” “—Limitations on Liens” and the requirement to add Additional Guarantors as described in “—Guarantees” will not be deemed to be or result in an event of default under the 2034 Notes.

Satisfaction and Discharge

At the Issuer’s option, the 2024 Indenture will cease to be of further effect with respect to any 2034 Notes issued thereunder (except for certain surviving rights of the Trustee), and the Trustee, at the expense of Issuer, will execute such instruments reasonably requested by the Issuer acknowledging satisfaction and discharge of the 2024 Indenture, when:

Modification and Waiver

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify the 2024 Indenture in a manner that affects the interests or rights of the holders of 2034 Notes with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the 2034 Notes at the time outstanding. This includes consents obtained in connection with a purchase of 2034 Notes, a tender offer for 2034 Notes or an exchange offer of 2034 Notes. However, the 2024 Indenture will require the consent of each holder of 2034 Notes affected by any modification which would:

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may also modify and amend the 2024 Indenture without the consent of any holders of 2034 Notes to:

The 2024 Indenture will permit the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 2034 Notes, or of any other series of debt securities issued under the applicable Base Indenture, as it may be supplemented, which is affected by the modification or amendment, to waive compliance with certain covenants contained in the 2024 Indenture. Such modification might be deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the 2034 Notes for “new” 2034 Notes with the modified terms, resulting in recognition of gain or loss for such purposes and possibly certain other tax consequences to the beneficial owners of the 2034 Notes. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences of any such modification.

Governing Law

The 2024 Indenture, 2034 Notes, Note Guarantees and Registration Rights Agreements are governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

Trustee

The Trustee under the 2024 Indenture is Wilmington Trust, National Association. Wilmington Trust, National Association, in each of its capacities, including without limitation as trustee and paying agent, assumes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of the information concerning the Issuer or its affiliates or any other party contained in this document or the related documents or for any failure by Issuer or any other party to disclose events that may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of such information, or for any information provided to it by Issuer, including but not limited to settlement amounts and any other information.

DESCRIPTION OF OTHER INDEBTEDNESS

The following is a summary of the material terms of our outstanding debt instruments other than the Notes. The following is only a summary of the applicable agreements. The following summary does not purport to be complete, and is qualified by reference to our operative agreements governing our outstanding indebtedness, including the definitions of certain terms therein that are not otherwise defined in this prospectus.

Revolving Credit Facility

On December 7, 2021, the Issuer entered into the Revolving Credit Facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), which was amended in June 2023 and further amended in July 2024 to, among other things, increase total borrowing capacity to $1.725 billion, extend the maturity date to July 23, 2029 and add certain additional indirect subsidiaries of the Company as guarantors. Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility may be used to finance working capital needs and general corporate purposes.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at the Issuer’s discretion at a rate (a) per annum of adjusted-term secured overnight financing rate (“SOFR”) plus a margin of 0.875% to 1.375%, plus 0.1% term SOFR adjustment, or (b) the greater of the (i) prime rate, (ii) New York Fed Bank Rate plus 0.50% or (iii) adjusted-term SOFR plus 1%, plus a margin of 0.00% to 0.375%. The Issuer is subject to an undrawn commitment fee rate of 0.08% to 0.2% of the daily amount of available revolving commitment.

The Revolving Credit Facility contains customary events of defaults, as well as a financial covenant generally providing for a maximum net leverage ratio of 4 to 1. The net leverage ratio is generally calculated as the ratio of total consolidated debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents (up to $500.0 million) to the trailing 12-month consolidated EBITDA (each as defined in the agreement). The Revolving Credit Facility also requires the Issuer to maintain a minimum level of fee-paying assets under management of at least $66.0 billion as of June 30, 2024, plus 50% of any new fee-paying assets under management as a result of any future acquisitions.

MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSIDERATIONS

The following summary describes certain U.S. federal income tax consequences of exchanging Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offers. Except where noted, this summary deals only with notes that are held as “capital assets” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). This summary is based upon provisions of the Code, the United States Treasury Regulations issued thereunder, Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address the alternative minimum tax consequences or all of the U.S. federal income tax considerations that may be relevant to holders in light of their personal circumstances or to holders subject to special rules, such as banks and other financial institutions, U.S. expatriates, controlled foreign corporations, passive foreign investment companies, insurance companies, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, brokers, dealers in securities or currencies, traders in securities, partnerships or other pass-through entities or investors therein, U.S. holders (as defined below) whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, tax-exempt entities and persons holding the notes as part of a “straddle,” “hedge,” “conversion transaction” or other integrated transaction. In addition, this discussion is limited to persons purchasing the notes issued hereunder for cash at the offer price indicated on the cover page. Prospective acquirors of the notes subject to special tax accounting rules under Section 451(b) of the Code may be subject to special rules not discussed below, and such prospective acquirors are encouraged to consult with their own tax advisors regarding the application and federal income tax consequences of these rules. Moreover, the effect of any applicable state, local or foreign tax laws, the unearned income Medicare contribution tax or any U.S. federal tax law other than income tax law (such as estate and gift tax law) is not discussed. We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the IRS regarding the matters discussed below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

If an entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes holds Original Notes or Exchange Notes, the U.S. federal income tax treatment of a partner in the partnership generally will depend on the status of the partner, the activities of the partnership and certain determinations made at the partner level. Accordingly, entities or arrangements classified as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax holding Original Notes or Exchange Notes and the partners in such partnerships should consult their tax advisors regarding the U.S. federal income tax consequences to them of the exchange offers.

An exchange of Original Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offers will not be a taxable event for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, a beneficial owner of an Original Note will not recognize any gain or loss upon the receipt of an Exchange Note pursuant to the exchange offers, will be required to include interest on the Exchange Note in income in the same manner and to the same extent as on the Original Note and will have the same tax basis and holding period in the Exchange Note immediately after the exchange as its tax basis and holding period in the Original Note exchanged therefor.

THIS DISCUSSION IS FOR INFORMATION PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TAX ADVICE. EACH INVESTOR SHOULD CONSULT ITS TAX ADVISOR WITH RESPECT TO THE SPECIFIC U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE EXCHANGE OFFERS IN ITS PARTICULAR SITUATIONS AS WELL AS ANY TAX CONSEQUENCE ARISING UNDER OTHER U.S. FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. TAX LAWS.

69

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, as described in no-action letters issued to third parties that are not related to us, we believe that the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offers without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to us in the exchange offers that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not our affiliate, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that broker-dealers receiving Exchange Notes in the exchange offers will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes as further discussed below. We also believe that such broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the sale of the Original Notes) with this prospectus. We have not entered into any arrangement or understanding with any person who will receive Exchange Notes in the exchange offers to distribute those securities following completion of the exchange offers. We are not aware of any person that will participate in the exchange offers with a view to distribute the Exchange Notes.

We believe that you may not transfer Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offers without further compliance with such requirements or an exemption from such requirements if you are:

The information described above concerning interpretations of and positions taken by the SEC staff is not intended to constitute legal advice. Broker-dealers should consult their own legal advisors with respect to these matters.

If you wish to exchange your Original Notes for Exchange Notes in the exchange offers, you will be required to make representations to us as described in “The Exchange Offers—Procedures for Tendering” and “The Exchange Offers—Procedures for Tendering—Your Representations to Us” of this prospectus and in the letter of transmittal.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act (or, to the extent permitted by law, make available a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act to purchasers) in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Original Notes where such Original Notes were acquired as a result of market-making or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period ending on the earlier of (i) 120 days from the date on which the registration statement is declared effective and (ii) the date on which a broker-dealer is no longer required to deliver a prospectus in connection with market-making or other trading activities.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offers may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offers and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale of Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation

70

under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

We have agreed to pay expenses incident to the exchange offers other than commissions or concessions of any brokers or dealers and will indemnify the holders of the Original Notes (including any broker-dealers) against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

PART II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Corporations

Blue Owl is governed by the DGCL.

Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL allows a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation will not be personally liable to the corporation or its shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except where the director breached the duty of loyalty, failed to act in good faith, engaged in intentional misconduct or knowingly violated a law, authorized the payment of a dividend or approved a stock repurchase in violation of Delaware corporate law or obtained an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the DGCL (“Section 145”) provides that a Delaware corporation shall have a power to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of such corporation) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of such corporation, or is or was serving at the request of such corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise. The indemnification may include expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, provided such person acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the corporation’s best interests and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that his conduct was unlawful. Section 145 also provides that a Delaware corporation may indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of such corporation, under the same conditions, except that such indemnification is limited to expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by such person, and except that no indemnification is permitted without judicial approval if such person is adjudged to be liable to such corporation. Where an officer or director of a corporation is successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above, or any claim, issue or matter therein, the corporation must indemnify that person against the expenses (including attorneys’ fees) which such officer or director actually and reasonably incurred in connection therewith.

Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against such person and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify such person against such liability under Section 145.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that Blue Owl will indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he, his testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of Blue Owl or any predecessor of Blue Owl, or serves or served at any other corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise as a director, officer, employee or agent at the request of Blue Owl or any predecessor of Blue Owl.

II-1

Our bylaws provide for mandatory indemnification to the fullest extent permitted by DGCL against all expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes or penalties and amounts paid in settlements. Our certificate of incorporation eliminates the liability of a director of Blue Owl to the fullest extent under applicable law. Pursuant to Section 102(b)(7) of the DGCL, a corporation may eliminate the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liabilities arising (i) from any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) from acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) under Section 174 of the DGCL, or (iv) from any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for certain violations of the federal securities laws of the United States.

The Registrant’s directors and executive officers are covered by insurance maintained by Blue Owl against specified liabilities for actions taken in their capacities as such, including liabilities under the Securities Act. In addition, Blue Owl has entered into contracts with its directors and executive officers providing indemnification of such directors and executive officers by Blue Owl to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to certain limited exceptions.

Limited Partnerships

Section 17-108 of the Delaware Revised Uniform Limited Partnership Act provides that a limited partnership may, and shall have the power to, indemnify and hold harmless any partner or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions set forth in the partnership agreement.

The Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Blue Owl Capital Carry LP, as amended, Second Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP, as amended, Limited Partnership Agreement of Blue Owl Capital GP Holdings LP, as amended, and Agreement of Limited Partnership of Blue Owl Real Estate Holdings LP, as amended (each of Blue Owl Capital Carry LP, Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP and Blue Owl Real Estate Holdings LP, an “LP Guarantor”), provides for indemnification of its current and former partners, including, limited partners, and general partner, its affiliates and its partners’ or its affiliates’ director, officer, directors, liquidators, partners, shareholders, equityholders, members, managers, fiduciaries, controlling persons and employees, current and former employee officer or member of any management or advisory board or committee of the partnership, current and former members of the board of directors of the general partner, partnership representatives and any other party who the general partner, reasonably in good faith, designates as an indemnitee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, for any loss, damage or claim incurred, except in cases of bad faith or outside the scope of authority, and must also pay expenses incurred in defending any proceeding in advance of its final disposition, upon presentation of an undertaking on behalf of such indemnified person to repay such amount if it shall ultimately be determined that such indemnified person is not entitled to be indemnified.

Limited Liability Companies

Section 18-108 of the Delaware Limited Liability Company Act authorizes a limited liability company to indemnify and hold harmless any member or manager or other person from and against any and all claims and demands whatsoever, subject to such standards and restrictions, if any, as are set forth in its limited liability company agreement.

Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Blue Owl Capital GP LLC, as amended, Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Blue Owl GPSC Holdings LLC, as amended, Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Blue Owl GP Stakes GP Holdings LLC, as amended, Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of Blue Owl Capital Holdings LLC, as amended, Limited Liability Company Agreement of Blue Owl Real Estate GP Holdings LLC, as
