OBDE and the Trustee executed and delivered an Indenture, dated as of October 13, 2021 (the “Base Indenture”), as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture dated as of October 13, 2021 (the “First Supplemental Indenture”, and together with the Base Indenture and, as supplemented by this Second Supplemental Indenture, collectively, the “Indenture”), to provide for the issuance by OBDE from time to time of OBDE’s unsecured debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness (the “Securities”), to be issued in one or more series as provided in the Indenture. OBDE issued $325,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.125% Notes due 2027 (the “Notes”) pursuant to the First Supplemental Indenture.
On the date first written above, pursuant to that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of August 7, 2024, (the “Merger Agreement”) by and among OBDC, Cardinal Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of OBDC (“Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, Blue Owl Credit Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to OBDC, and Blue Owl Diversified Credit Advisors LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and investment adviser to OBDE, Merger Sub will be merged with and into OBDE, with OBDE continuing as the surviving company and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of OBDC (the “Initial Merger”), and, immediately thereafter, OBDE will merge with and into OBDC, with OBDC continuing as the surviving company (the “Second Merger” and together, with the Initial Merger, the “Mergers”).
As a result of the Mergers, pursuant to Section 8.01 and Section 8.02 of the Indenture, OBDC is expressly assuming the obligations of OBDE for the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest on all the Notes outstanding, and the due and punctual performance and observance of all of the covenants and conditions of the Indenture to be performed by the Company.
Section 9.01(i) of the Base Indenture provides that without the consent of Holders of the Securities of any series issued under the Indenture, the Company, when authorized by or pursuant to a Board Resolution, and the Trustee, at any time and from time to time, may enter into one or more indentures supplemental to the Base Indenture to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company and the assumption by any such successor of the covenants of the Company therein and in the Securities contained.
