In accordance with the terms of the equity distributionagreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $750,000,000 from time totime through the sales agents. Our investment objective is to generate current income and, to a lesser extent, capital appreciation by targeting investmentopportunities with favorable risk-adjusted returns. Our investment strategy focuses primarily on originating and making loans to, andmaking debt and equity investments in, U.S. middle-market companies. We define “middle-market companies” to generally meancompanies with earnings before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) between $10million and $250 million annually, and/or annual revenue of $50 million to $2.5 billion at the time of investment, although we may onoccasion invest in smaller or larger companies if an attractive opportunity presents itself, especially when there are dislocations in thecapital markets, including the high yield and large syndicated loan markets. We invest in senior secured or unsecured loans, subordinated loans or mezzanine loans and, to a lesser extent, equity and equity-related securities including warrants, preferred stock and similar forms of senior equity, which may or may not be convertible into aportfolio company’s common equity. The debt in which we invest typically is not rated by any rating agency, but if these instrumentswere rated, they would likely receive a rating of below investment grade (that is, below BBB- or Baa3), which is often referred to as“high yield” or “junk.” We are an externally managed, closed-end management investment company that has elected to be regulated as a businessdevelopment company (“BDC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). We are advised by theAdviser pursuant to an investment advisory agreement. The Adviser is registered as an investment adviser with the U.S. Securities andExchange Commission (the “SEC”). The Adviser is an indirect affiliate of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (NYSE: OWL) andpart of Blue Owl’s Credit platform, which includes several strategies, including direct lending, alternative credit, investment gradecredit, liquid credit and other adjacent investment strategies. We have elected to be treated, and intend to qualify annually, as aregulated investment company (“RIC”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), for U.S. federal incometax purposes. As a BDC and a RIC, we are required to comply with certain statutory and regulatory requirements.
