OTIC aims to deliver three key benefits to investors seeking access to private, market-leading software and technology-related companies.
OTIC’s risk-adjusted investment approach blends traditional financing and equity-linked investments, seeking to provide access to the growth of market-leading software businesses at a lower risk profile.
OTIC seeks to deliver attractive monthly income at a yield premium to public fixed income and credit markets, potentially benefiting from illiquidity and complexity premiums.
OTIC’s investment approach seeks to insulate the portfolio by predominantly investing in floating rate, first-lien, senior secured loans structured with low loan-to-values, coupled with the defensive nature of software.
Blue Owl’s net lease real estate strategy takes a different approach from traditional real estate, one focused on creditworthiness of the underlying tenant, which is purpose built for today’s market environment.

We believe that OTIC is differentiated from most other direct lending funds in two ways : (i) its sector-focused investment strategy, and (ii) its flexible approach to invest in both traditional financing and equity-linked investments.
OTIC intends to invest at least 80% of total assets into software and “technology-related” companies. OTIC has a highly diversified portfolio that spans across 30+ industries and end markets, including, but not limited to, application software, systems software, healthcare information technology, technology services and infrastructure, financial technology, and internet and digital media. Our conviction in software and technology investing stems from inherently defensive characteristics, including:
Mission critical solutions
Strong customer retention
Highly recurring revenue
Strong profitability
Highly capital efficient
Market leading positions
OTIC’s flexible investment approach allows the fund to invest in both the debt and equity of U.S. software and technology-related companies. This blended portfolio seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors. by leveraging the growth potential of market-leading software businesses, as well as its defensive positions in floating-rate, senior secured debt that are typically supported by meaningful equity cushions and backed by high-quality private equity sponsors.
We focus our investments in companies with an enterprise value of at least $50 million and that are backed by venture capital firms or private equity firms that are active investors in and have an expertise in technology companies and technology-related industries. Our target investments typically will range in size between $20 million and $500 million.
From a portfolio allocation standpoint, OTIC invests 80-90% of the portfolio in traditional financing and 10-20% in growth capital. OTIC’s traditional financings are predominantly first lien, senior secured loans to established private software and technology-related companies across diversified by end markets. Traditional financing investments seek to provide an attractive current income stream across market conditions. Growth capital investments seek to provide income and the potential for capital appreciation.
We generally invest in dominant or growing players in niche markets that are selling products to established customer bases. As a result, technology companies have attributes that make them compelling investments, including strong customer retention rates, and highly recurring and predictable revenue. Further, technology companies are typically highly capital efficient, with limited capital expenditures and high free cash flow conversion. In addition, the replicable nature of technology products creates substantial operating leverage which typically results in strong profitability. We believe that software businesses make compelling investments because they are inherently diversified into a variety of sectors due to end market applications and have been one of the more defensive sectors throughout economic cycles.
OTIC is structured as a continuously offered, perpetually non-traded BDC. The fund will have monthly closes and 100% of capital will be drawn upon subscription.

We believe that OTIC is differentiated from most other direct lending funds in two ways : (i) its sector-focused investment strategy, and (ii) its flexible approach to invest in both traditional financing and equity-linked investments.
OTIC intends to invest at least 80% of total assets into software and “technology-related” companies. OTIC has a highly diversified portfolio that spans across 30+ industries and end markets, including, but not limited to, application software, systems software, healthcare information technology, technology services and infrastructure, financial technology, and internet and digital media. Our conviction in software and technology investing stems from inherently defensive characteristics, including:
Mission critical solutions
Strong customer retention
Highly recurring revenue
Strong profitability
Highly capital efficient
Market leading positions
OTIC’s flexible investment approach allows the fund to invest in both the debt and equity of U.S. software and technology-related companies. This blended portfolio seeks to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for investors. by leveraging the growth potential of market-leading software businesses, as well as its defensive positions in floating-rate, senior secured debt that are typically supported by meaningful equity cushions and backed by high-quality private equity sponsors.
We focus our investments in companies with an enterprise value of at least $50 million and that are backed by venture capital firms or private equity firms that are active investors in and have an expertise in technology companies and technology-related industries. Our target investments typically will range in size between $20 million and $500 million.
From a portfolio allocation standpoint, OTIC invests 80-90% of the portfolio in traditional financing and 10-20% in growth capital. OTIC’s traditional financings are predominantly first lien, senior secured loans to established private software and technology-related companies across diversified by end markets. Traditional financing investments seek to provide an attractive current income stream across market conditions. Growth capital investments seek to provide income and the potential for capital appreciation.
We generally invest in dominant or growing players in niche markets that are selling products to established customer bases. As a result, technology companies have attributes that make them compelling investments, including strong customer retention rates, and highly recurring and predictable revenue. Further, technology companies are typically highly capital efficient, with limited capital expenditures and high free cash flow conversion. In addition, the replicable nature of technology products creates substantial operating leverage which typically results in strong profitability. We believe that software businesses make compelling investments because they are inherently diversified into a variety of sectors due to end market applications and have been one of the more defensive sectors throughout economic cycles.

Endnotes
1. Distribution payments are not guaranteed. Blue Owl Technology Income Corp. may pay distributions from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds, and advances or the deferral of fees and expense reimbursements. The annualized distribution rate shown is calculated by multiplying the sum of the last three base distributions per share paid and special distribution per share paid by four, and dividing the result by the NAV per share of the month preceding the relevant three month period. Excluding special dividends, the fund declared an annualized distribution amount of $0.81 per share for Class S, $0.87 per share for Class D, and $0.90 per share for Class I, resulting in annualized distribution rates of 7.84% for Class S shares, 8.43% for Class D shares, and 8.68% for Class I shares based on the last reported NAV. The annualized distribution rate shown may be rounded and is net of applicable servicing fees (Class S: 0.85%, Class D: 0.25%, Class I: No servicing fee). The payment of future distributions is subject to the discretion of OTIC’s board of directors and applicable legal restrictions, therefore there can be no assurance as to the amount or timing of any such future distributions. Distributions are not guaranteed. Up to 100% of distributions have been funded and may continue to be funded by the reimbursement of certain expenses that are subject to repayment to the Adviser of OTIC. Such waivers and reimbursements by the Adviser may not continue in the future. No distributions paid were classified as a return of capital for the quarter ending December 31, 2024. For further information, please see our SEC filings at www.sec.gov.

While we intend to continue to conduct quarterly repurchase offers as described above, we are not required to do so and may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time. All periodic repurchase offers are subject to board approval.
4. Under the 1940 Act, we are required to maintain an asset coverage ratio Of 150%. We are not otherwise limited in the amount of leverage that we may incur, and the amount of leverage that we incur is within our discretion.

Total return is calculated as the change in monthly NAV (assuming any dividends and distributions, net of shareholder servicing fees, are reinvested in accordance with the Company’s dividend reinvestment plan), if any, divided by the beginning NAV. Returns greater than one year are annualized. Returns reflect reinvestments of distributions and the deduction of ongoing expenses that are borne by investors, such as management fees, incentive fees, servicing fees, interest expense, offering costs, professional fees, director fees and other general and administrative expenses. An investment in the Company is subject to a maximum upfront sales load (Class S: 3.5%, Class D: 1.5%, Class I: No sales load) which will reduce the amount of capital available for investment. Operating expenses may vary in the future based on the amount of capital raised, the Adviser’s election to continue expense support, and other unpredictable variables. Total returns based on the max upfront fee load for an investor starting at the inception of the respective share class, which for Class S is April 1, 2021 and for Class D and Class I are March 1, 2021. Class I does not have upfront fees.

OTIC Risk Factors
Assets Under Management ("AUM") refers to the assets that we manage, and is generally equal to the sum of (i) net asset value ("NAV"); (ii) drawn and undrawn debt; (iii) uncalled capital commitments; (iv) total managed assets for certain Credit and Real Estate products; and (v) par value of collateral for collateralized loan obligations ("CLOs") and other securitizations.
This is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy the securities described herein. Only a prospectus for Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. can make such an offer. This material is authorized only when it is accompanied or preceded by the Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. prospectus. Neither the SEC, the Attorney General of the State of New York nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense. Securities are offered through Blue Owl Securities LLC, member of FINRA/SIPC, as Dealer Manager.
An investment in Blue Owl Credit Income Corp. ("OTIC") is speculative and involves a high degree of risk, including the risk of a substantial loss of investment, as well as substantial fees and costs, all of which can impact an investor's return. The following are some of the risks involved in an investment in OTIC's common shares; however, an investor should carefully consider the fees and expenses and information found in the "Risk Factors" section of the OTIC prospectus before deciding to invest:
You should not expect to be able to sell your shares regardless of how OTIC performs and you should consider that you may not have access to the money you invest for an indefinite period of time. An investment in shares of OTIC's common stock is not suitable for you if you need access to the money you invest.
OTIC does not intend to list its shares on any securities exchange and does not expect a secondary market in its shares to develop. As a result, you may be unable to reduce your exposure in any market downturn. If you are able to sell your shares before a liquidity event is completed, you will likely receive less than your purchase price.
OTIC has implemented a share repurchase program pursuant to which it intends to conduct quarterly repurchases of a limited number of outstanding shares of its common stock. OTIC's board of directors has complete discretion to determine whether OTIC will engage in any share repurchase, and if so, the terms of such repurchase. OTIC's share repurchase program will include numerous restrictions that may limit your ability to sell your shares. As a result, share repurchases may not be available each month. While OTIC intends to continue to conduct quarterly tender offers as described above, it is not required to do so and may suspend or terminate the share repurchase program at any time.
Distributions on OTIC's common stock may exceed OTIC's taxable earnings and profits, particularly during the period before it has substantially invested the net proceeds from its public offering. Therefore, portions of the distributions that OTIC pays may represent a return of capital to you for U.S. federal tax purposes. A return of capital is a return of a portion of your original investment in shares of OTIC common stock. As a result, a return of capital will (I) lower your tax basis in your shares and thereby increase the amount of capital gain (or decrease the amount of capital loss) realized upon a subsequent sale or redemption of such shares, and (ii) reduce the amount of funds OTIC has for investment in portfolio companies. OTIC has not established any limit on the extent to which it may use offering proceeds to fund distributions.
Distributions are not guaranteed. Distributions may also be funded in significant part, directly or indirectly, from (I) the waiver of certain investment advisory fees, that will not be subject to repayment to the Adviser and/or (ii) the deferral of certain investment advisory fees that may be subject to repayment to the Adviser and/or (iii) the reimbursement of certain operating expenses, that will be subject to repayment to the Adviser and its affiliates. Significant portions of distributions may not be based on investment performance. In the event distributions are funded from waivers and/or deferrals of fees and reimbursements by OTIC's affiliates, such funding may not continue in the future. If OTIC's affiliates do not agree to reimburse certain of its operating expenses or waive certain of their advisory fees, then significant portions of OTIC's distributions may come from offering proceeds or borrowings. The repayment of any amounts owed to OTIC's affiliates will reduce future distributions to which you would otherwise be entitled.
The payment of fees and expenses will reduce the funds available for investment, the net income generated, the funds available for distribution and the book value of the common shares. In addition, the fees and expenses paid will require investors to achieve a higher total net return in order to recover their initial investment. Please see OTIC's prospectus for details regarding its fees and expenses.
OTIC intends to invest in securities that are rated below investment grade by rating agencies or that would be rated below investment grade if they were rated. Below investment grade securities, which are often referred to as "junk," have predominantly speculative characteristics with respect to the issuer's capacity to pay interest and repay principal. They may also be illiquid and difficult to value.
The Adviser and its affiliates face a number of conflicts with respect to OTIC. Currently, the Adviser and Its affiliates manage other investment entities, including Blue Owl Capital Corporation and Blue Owl Capital Corporation II, and are not prohibited from raising money for and managing future investment entities that make the same types of investments as those OTIC targets. As a result, the time and resources that the Adviser devotes to OTIC may be diverted. In addition, OTIC may compete with any such investment entity also managed by the Adviser for the same investors and investment opportunities. Furthermore, the Adviser may face conflicts of interest with respect to services it may perform for companies in which OTIC invests as it may receive fees in connection with such services that may not be shared with OTIC.
The incentive fee payable by OTIC to the Adviser may create an incentive for the Adviser to make investments on OTIC's behalf that are risky or more speculative than would be the case in the absence of such compensation arrangements. OTIC may be obligated to pay the Adviser Incentive fees even if OTIC incurs a net loss due to a decline in the value of its portfolio and even if its earned interest income is not payable in cash.
The information provided above is not directed at any particular investor or category of investors and is provided solely as general information about Blue Owl Capital Inc.'s products and services to regulated financial intermediaries and to otherwise provide general Investment education. No information contained herein should be regarded as a suggestion to engage in or refrain from any investment-related course of action as Blue Owl Securities LLC, its affiliates, and OTIC are not undertaking to provide impartial investment advice, act as an impartial adviser, or give advice in a fiduciary capacity with respect to the materials presented herein.
