DESCRIPTION OF SECURITIES 
REGISTERED PURSUANT TO SECTION 12 OF THE 
SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934


    As of March 31, 2022, Blue Owl Capital Inc. had the following classes of securities registered under Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended: its (i) Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class A Shares”) and (ii) warrants to purchase its Class A Shares.
    
    The following description of registered securities of Blue Owl Capital Inc. is intended as a summary only and therefore is not a complete description. As used in this “Description of Securities,” the terms “Blue Owl,” “Company,” “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Blue Owl Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its successors, but not any of its subsidiaries. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined in this exhibit shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form 10-K on February 28, 2022 (our “Annual Report”). 
DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK
The following summary of certain provisions of Blue Owl’s securities does not purport to be complete and is subject to our certificate of incorporation (as amended, our “certificate of incorporation”), our amended and restated bylaws (our “bylaws”) and the Investor Rights Agreement, copies of which have been filed by us with the SEC and are incorporated herein by reference, and the provisions of applicable law. 
Authorized Capitalization 
General 
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the issuance of 4,906,875,000 shares of capital stock, par value $0.0001 per share, of Blue Owl, consisting of: 
•    2,500,000,000 Class A Shares, 
•    350,000,000 Class B common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class B Shares”), 
•    1,500,000,000 Class C common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class C Shares”), 
•    350,000,000 Class D common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class D Shares”), 
•    100,000,000 Class E common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Class E Shares”), which consists of 50,000,000 Series E-1 Class E Shares and 50,000,000 Series E-2 Class E Shares; and 
•    100,000,000 shares of preferred stock. 
On July 21, 2021, all shares of our Series E-1 Class E Shares automatically converted into Class A Shares and all of our Series E-1 Seller Earnout Units converted into Common Units with the holders thereof receiving an equal number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, as applicable, following the occurrence of a Class E Triggering Event (as defined in our Annual Report).
On November 3, 2021, all shares of our Series E-2 Class E Shares automatically converted into Class A Shares and all of our Series E-2 Seller Earnout Units converted into Common Units with the holders thereof receiving an equal number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, as applicable, following the occurrence of a Class E Triggering Event.  
As of March 31, 2022, we had: (i) 407,639,908 Class A Shares outstanding, (ii) zero Class B Shares, outstanding, (iii) 670,147,025 Class C Shares outstanding and (iv) 319,132,127 Class D Shares outstanding. 
The following summary describes all material provisions of our securities. We urge you to read our certificate of incorporation, our bylaws, the Investor Rights Agreement and the provisions of applicable law. 
Common Stock 
Class A Shares 
Voting rights. Each holder of Class A Shares is entitled to one vote for each Class A Share held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. Holders of Class A Shares vote 








together with the holders of Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval. Generally, subject to the Investor Rights Agreement, all matters to be voted on by stockholders must be approved by a majority (or, in the case of election of directors, by a plurality) of the votes entitled to be cast by all stockholders present in person or represented by proxy, voting together as a single class. Given the “super-voting” rights of the Class B Shares and the Class D Shares, the voting power of the Class A Shares is less than the voting power typically associated with shares of common stock or that the “one vote per share” implies. 
Stockholders do not have the ability to cumulate votes for the election of directors. Our certificate of incorporation provides for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of approximately equal size, each serving staggered three-year terms. Only one class of directors will be elected at each annual meeting of our stockholders, with the other classes continuing for the remainder of their respective three-year terms. 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the fullest extent permitted by law, holders of common stock, as such, have no voting power with respect to, and are not entitled to vote on, any amendment to the certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of preferred stock, if the holders of such affected series are entitled, either separately or together with the holders of one or more other such series, to vote thereon pursuant to the certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designations relating to any series of preferred stock) or pursuant to the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). 
Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of Class A Shares are entitled to receive, ratably with other Participating Shares, such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board out of funds legally available therefor. 
Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class A Shares are entitled to share ratably with the other Participating Shares in all assets remaining after payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class A Shares, then outstanding, if any. 
Other rights. Except as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement (as applicable), the holders of Class A Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights or other subscription rights. There are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable to the Class A Shares. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class A Shares are subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future and to the Investor Rights Agreement, as applicable. 
Subject to the transfer and exchange restrictions set forth in the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreements and the Exchange Agreement, holders of Common Units may exchange these units for Class A or Class B Shares, depending on the holder, on a one-for-one basis or, at the election of an exchange committee of Blue Owl GP, for cash. When a Common Unit is exchanged, a corresponding Class C Share or Class D Share, depending on the holder, will automatically be transferred to us and retired for no consideration. 
Class B Shares 
All Class B Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. There is no trading market for the Class B Shares. 
Voting Rights. Prior to the Sunset Date (as defined below), holders of Class B Shares will be entitled to the B/D Voting Power (as defined below) for all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Class B Shares vote together with holders of Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by our certificate of incorporation and applicable law. 
Dividend Rights. Subject to preferences that may be applicable to any outstanding preferred stock, the holders of Class B Shares are entitled to receive, ratably with other Participating Shares, such dividends, if any, as may be declared from time to time by the Board out of funds legally available therefor. 
Rights upon liquidation. In the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company’s affairs, the holders of Class B Shares will be entitled to share, ratably with the other Participating Shares, in all assets remaining after payment of the Company’s debts and other liabilities, subject to prior distribution rights of preferred stock or any class or series of stock having a preference over the Class B Shares, then outstanding, if any. 
 2






Other rights. The holders of Class B Shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class B Shares are subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future and to the Investor Rights Agreement, as applicable. 
 
Subject to the transfer and exchange restrictions set forth in the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreements and the Exchange Agreement, holders of Common Units may exchange these units for Class A or Class B Shares, depending on the holder, on a one-for-one basis or, at the election of an exchange committee of Blue Owl GP, for cash. When a Common Unit is exchanged, a corresponding Class C Share or Class D Share, depending on the holder, will automatically be transferred to us and retired for no consideration. 
Issuance and Conversion of Class B Shares. There will be no further issuances of Class B Shares except in connection with (i) a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction or (ii) an exchange of Common Units by a holder of Class D Shares (as contemplated by the preceding paragraph). 
Class C Shares
All Class C Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. There is no trading market for the Class C Shares. 
Voting Rights. Holders of our Class C Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Class C Shares vote together with holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class D Shares as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by our certificate of incorporation and applicable law. Given the “super-voting” rights of the Class B Shares and the Class D Shares, the voting power of the Class C Shares is less than the voting power typically associated with shares of common stock or that the “one vote per share” implies. 
Dividend Rights. Holders of the Class C Shares are not entitled to dividends in respect of their Class C Shares. 
Rights upon liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class C Shares will be entitled to receive out of our remaining assets available for distribution only the par value of the Class C Shares held by them, pro rata with distributions to the other Participating Shares. Notwithstanding this right, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, given the de minimis value to which holders of such shares are entitled, we refer to them as “vote-only” shares. 
Other rights. Except as provided in the Investor Rights Agreement (as applicable), the holders of Class C Shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class C Shares are subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future and to the Investor Rights Agreement, as applicable. 
Issuance and Transfer. There will be no further issuances of Class C Shares except in connection with (i) a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction, (ii) an issuance of Common Units and (iii) an Oak Street Triggering Event occurring with respect to an Oak Street Earnout Unit. When a Common Unit is exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, a corresponding Class C Share or Class D Share, as applicable, will automatically be transferred to us and retired for no consideration. Class C Shares are not transferable unless a corresponding number of Common Units are simultaneously transferred to the same person. 
 
Class D Shares 
All Class D Shares are fully paid and non-assessable. There is no trading market for the Class D Shares. 
Voting Rights. Prior to the Sunset Date (as defined below), holders of Class D Shares will be entitled to the B/D Voting Power (as defined below) for all matters submitted to a vote of stockholders. Holders of Class D Shares vote together with holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by our certificate of incorporation and applicable law. 
Dividend Rights. Holders of the Class D Shares are not entitled to dividends in respect of their Class D Shares. 
Rights upon liquidation. Upon our dissolution or liquidation or the sale of all or substantially all of our assets, after payment in full of all amounts required to be paid to creditors and to the holders of preferred stock having liquidation preferences, if any, the holders of our Class D Shares will be entitled to receive out of our remaining assets available for distribution only the par value of the Class D Shares held by them, pro rata with distributions to 
 3






the other Participating Shares. Notwithstanding this right, upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, given the de minimis value to which holders of such shares are entitled, we refer to them as “vote-only” shares. 
Other rights. The holders of Class D Shares have no preemptive or other subscription rights. The rights, preferences and privileges of holders of the Class D Shares will be subject to those of the holders of any shares of the preferred stock the Company may issue in the future and to the Investor Rights Agreement, as applicable. 
Issuance, Conversion and Transfer. There will be no further issuances of Class D Shares except in connection with (i) a stock split, stock dividend, reclassification or similar transaction or (ii) an issuance of Common Units. When a Common Unit is exchanged pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, a corresponding Class C Share or Class D Share, as applicable, will automatically be transferred to us and retired for no consideration. Class D Shares are not transferable unless a corresponding number of Common Units are simultaneously transferred to the same person. 
Preferred Stock
Our certificate of incorporation authorizes the Board to establish one or more series of preferred stock in one or more classes or series and to fix the rights, preferences, privileges and related restrictions, including dividend rights, dividend rates, conversion rights, voting rights, the right to elect directors, terms of redemption, redemption prices, liquidation preferences and the number of shares constituting any class or series, or the designation of the class or series, without the approval of our stockholders. 
The authority of the Board to issue preferred stock without approval of our stockholders may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of our company and may adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holders of our common stock. The issuance of preferred stock with voting and conversion rights may adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our common stock, including the loss of voting control to others. As a result of these or other factors, the issuance of preferred stock could have an adverse impact on the market price of the Class A Shares. At present, we have no plans to issue any preferred stock. 
 
Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock 
Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of authorized shares. However, the listing requirements of The New York Stock Exchange, which would apply so long as the Class A Shares remains listed on the New York Stock Exchange, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or then outstanding number of Class A Shares. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions. 
One of the effects of the existence of unissued and unreserved common stock or preferred stock may be to enable the Board to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of our company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly deprive the stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of common stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices. 
Anti-Takeover Effects of Provisions of Delaware Law and our certificate of incorporation and Bylaws 
Certain provisions of our certificate of incorporation and bylaws could discourage potential acquisition proposals and could delay or prevent a change in control. These provisions are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of the Board and in the policies formulated by the Board and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened change of control. These provisions are designed to reduce our vulnerability to an unsolicited acquisition proposal or proxy fight. Such provisions could have the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for our shares and, as a consequence, they also may inhibit fluctuations in the market price of our Class A Shares that could result from actual or rumored takeover attempts. Such provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our management or delaying or preventing a transaction that might benefit you or other minority stockholders. 
These provisions include: 
Super Voting Stock. The shares of common stock vote together on all matters on which stockholders are entitled to vote, except as set forth in our certificate of incorporation or required by applicable law. However, prior to the Sunset Date, the Class B Shares and Class D Shares collectively have 80% of the voting power of the common stock, as calculated pursuant to the definition of “B/D Voting Power” above. Consequently, the holders of our 
 4






Class B Shares and Class D Shares (which will be, directly or indirectly, the Owl Rock Principals and the Dyal Principals), have greater influence over decisions to be made by our stockholders, including the election of directors. 
Action by Written Consent; Special Meetings of Stockholders. The DGCL permits stockholder action by written consent unless otherwise provided by our certificate of incorporation. Our certificate of incorporation permits stockholder action by written consent so long as any Class B Shares or Class D Shares are outstanding (and inherently would represent at least a majority of the voting power of our outstanding common stock), and precludes stockholder action by written consent if and when there ceases to be any Class B Shares or Class D Shares outstanding. If permitted by the applicable certificate of designation, future series of preferred stock may take action by written consent. Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide that special meetings of stockholders may be called only by the Board, the chairman of the Board of the chief executive officer, and only proposals included in our notice may be considered at such special meetings. 
Election and Removal of Directors. The DGCL provides that stockholders are not entitled to the right to cumulate votes in the election of directors unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not expressly provide for cumulative voting. Directors may be removed, but only for cause (and subject to the Investor Rights Agreement), upon the affirmative vote of holders of a majority of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, voting together as a single class. In addition, the certificate of designation pursuant to which a particular series of preferred stock is issued may provide holders of that series of preferred stock with the right to elect additional directors. In addition, under our certificate of incorporation, the Board is divided into three classes of directors, each of which will hold office for a three-year term. The existence of a classified board could delay a successful tender offeror from obtaining majority control of the Board, and the prospect of that delay might deter a potential offeror. 
Authorized but Unissued Shares. The authorized but unissued shares of common stock and preferred stock are available for future issuance without stockholder approval, subject to any limitations imposed by the listing rules of The New York Stock Exchange. The existence of authorized but unissued and unreserved common stock and preferred stock could make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. See “—Description of Capital Stock—Preferred Stock” and “—Description of Capital Stock—Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock” above. 
Business Combinations with Interested Stockholders. In general, Section 203 of the DGCL, an anti- takeover law, prohibits a publicly held Delaware corporation from engaging in a business combination, such as a merger, with a person or group owning 15% or more of the corporation’s voting stock, which person or group is considered an interested stockholder under the DGCL, for a period of three years following the date the person became an interested stockholder, unless (with certain exceptions) the business combination or the transaction in which the person became an interested stockholder is approved in a prescribed manner. 
We elected in our certificate of incorporation not to be subject to Section 203. 
Other Limitations on Stockholder Actions. Our bylaws also impose some procedural requirements on stockholders who wish to: 
•    make nominations in the election of directors; 
•    propose that a director be removed; or 
•    propose any other business to be brought before an annual or special meeting of stockholders. 
Under these procedural requirements, in order to bring a proposal before a meeting of stockholders, a stockholder must deliver timely notice of a proposal pertaining to a proper subject for presentation at the meeting to our corporate secretary containing, among other things, the following: 
•    the stockholder’s name and address; 
•    the number of shares beneficially owned by the stockholder and evidence of such ownership; 
•    the names of all persons with whom the stockholder is acting in concert and a description of all arrangements and understandings with those persons; 
•    a description of any agreement, arrangement or understanding reached with respect to shares of our stock, such as borrowed or loaned shares, short positions, hedging or similar transactions; 
•    a description of the business or nomination to be brought before the meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting; and 
•    any material interest of the stockholder in such business. 
 5






Our bylaws set out the timeliness requirements for delivery of notice. 
In order to submit a nomination for the Board, a stockholder must also submit any information with respect to the nominee that we would be required to include in a proxy statement, as well as some other information. If a stockholder fails to follow the required procedures, the stockholder’s proposal or nominee will be ineligible and will not be voted on by our stockholders. 
Certain provisions of the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreements could have the effect of deterring or facilitating a control transaction. 
Limitations on Liability and Indemnification of Officers and Directors 
Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws provide indemnification for our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers that may, in some cases, be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained under Delaware law. In addition, as permitted by Delaware law, our certificate of incorporation includes provisions that eliminate the personal liability of our directors for monetary damages resulting from breaches of certain fiduciary duties as a director. The effect of this provision is to restrict our rights and the rights of our stockholders in derivative suits to recover monetary damages against a director for breach of fiduciary duties as a director, except that a director will be personally liable for: 
•    any breach of his duty of loyalty to us or our stockholders; 
•    acts or omissions not in good faith, or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law; 
•    unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful stock repurchases or redemptions as provided in Section 174 of the DGCL; or 
•    any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit. 
These provisions may be held not to be enforceable for violations of the federal securities laws of the United States. 
Approval of Certain Matters 
As long as Neuberger Berman Group LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Neuberger”), holds at least (x) 10% of the fully-diluted Class A Shares (assuming an exchange of all Common Units immediately prior to the time of determination) and (y) 50% of such equity interests held by Neuberger as of May 19, 2021, Neuberger’s approval is required for the following (subject to agreed-upon carve-outs and exceptions): 
•    amendment of organizational documents that are disproportionately adverse to Neuberger, as an equityholder; 
•    creation of new employee equity incentive plans or amendments to existing employee equity incentive plans, including by expansion of pool sizes; 
•    dividends and stock repurchases beyond an approved policy or on a non-pro rata basis; 
•    acquisitions/investments in excess of $2 billion and 20% of the total value of Blue Owl’s outstanding Class A Shares (subject to certain walls, conflicts of interest and confidentiality requirements) (assuming an exchange of all Common Units immediately prior to the time of determination); 
•    amendments to make less restrictive the restrictive covenant arrangements of any Key Individual; 
•    material related-party agreements or transactions between Blue Owl and the former Owl Rock or Dyal Principals (or amendments thereto); 
•    entering into a new business line that subjects Neuberger to a new regulatory regime; 
•    for three years after May 19, 2021, the merger or sale of all or a majority of Blue Owl’s common stock or Common Units or assets at a valuation below $13.50 per Class A Share and Class B Share (assuming an exchange of all Common Units immediately prior to the time of determination); and 
•    for five years after May 19, 2021, for any issuance of equity securities that are dilutive to Blue Owl or its subsidiaries to any Key Individual under any employee equity incentive plan, other than as part of a broad-based compensation program generally applicable to employees of Blue Owl or its subsidiaries (and subject to certain further limitations under such broad-based program). 
 6






As long as Neuberger holds at least (x) 5% of the fully-diluted Class A Shares (assuming an exchange of all Common Units immediately prior to the time of determination) and (y) 25% of such equity interests held by Neuberger as of May 19, 2021, Neuberger’s approval is required for the following (subject to agreed-upon carve-outs and exceptions): 
•    annual aggregate cash compensation for the Key Individuals that exceeds 4% of the management fee revenue of Blue Owl and its subsidiaries; and 
•    Blue Owl Carry’s aggregate share of carried interest in any private equity-style fund sponsored by Blue Owl or its subsidiaries to be less than 15% of the total carried interest in such fund (in each case net of certain investor and other third party arrangements). 
Exclusive Forum 
Our certificate of incorporation provides that, unless the Company consents in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, (i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on behalf of the Company, (ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company to the Company or the Company’s stockholders, or any claim for aiding and abetting such alleged breach, (iii) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company (a) arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation (as it may be amended or restated) or our bylaws or (b) as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Delaware Court of Chancery or (iv) any action asserting a claim against the Company or any current or former director, officer, other employee, agent or stockholder of the Company governed by the internal affairs doctrine of the law of the State of Delaware shall, as to any action in the foregoing clauses (i) through (iv), to the fullest extent permitted by law, be solely and exclusively brought in the Delaware Court of Chancery; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply to any claim (a) as to which the Delaware Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Delaware Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten days following such determination), (b) which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Delaware Court of Chancery, or (c) arising under federal securities laws, including the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, as to which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the provisions of Article XIII of our certificate of incorporation will not apply to suits brought to enforce any liability or duty created by the Exchange Act, or any other claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America shall be the sole and exclusive forum. Any person or entity purchasing or otherwise acquiring any interest in any shares of the Company’s capital stock shall be deemed to have notice of and to have consented to the forum provisions in our certificate of incorporation. If any action the subject matter of which is within the scope of the forum provisions is filed in a court other than a court located within the State of Delaware (a “foreign action”) in the name of any stockholder, such stockholder shall be deemed to have consented to: (x) the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within the State of Delaware in connection with any action brought in any such court to enforce the forum provisions (an “enforcement action”); and (y) having service of process made upon such stockholder in any such enforcement action by service upon such stockholder’s counsel in the foreign action as agent for such stockholder. However, it is possible that a court could find the Company’s forum selection provisions to be inapplicable or unenforceable. Although the Company believes this provision benefits it by providing increased consistency in the application of Delaware law in the types of lawsuits to which it applies, the provision may have the effect of discouraging lawsuits against the Company’s directors, officers and other employees. 
Stockholder Registration Rights 
The Investor Rights Agreement provides the former Owl Rock Equityholders and the former Dyal Equityholders with certain registration rights whereby, at any time, subject to certain lockup restrictions and the other terms and conditions of the Investor Rights Agreement, they have the right to require us to register under the Securities Act certain Registrable Securities (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement). The Investor Rights Agreement also provides for piggyback registration rights for certain other parties thereto, subject to certain conditions and exceptions. See “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Blue Owl Related Person Transactions—Investor Rights Agreement” in our Annual Report.  
    DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS
Warrants 
Public Warrants. Each whole warrant entitles the registered holder to purchase one Class A Share at a price of $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment as discussed below, at any time commencing on the later of one year from 
 7






the closing of the IPO and 30 days after the completion of the Business Combination, which occurred on May 19, 2021, except as discussed in the immediately succeeding paragraph. Pursuant to the warrant agreement, a warrant holder may exercise its warrants only for a whole number of Class A Shares. This means only a whole warrant may be exercised at a given time by a warrant holder. The warrants will expire five years after the completion of the Business Combination, at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, which occurred on May 19, 2021, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation. 
We will not be obligated to issue any Class A Shares pursuant to the exercise of a warrant and will have no obligation to settle such warrant exercise unless the registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current or a valid exemption from registration is available. In the event that the conditions in the immediately preceding sentence are not satisfied with respect to a warrant, the holder of such warrant will not be entitled to exercise such warrant and such warrant may have no value and expire worthless. 
We have filed with the SEC a registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the warrants and the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. We will use our commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement and a current prospectus relating to those warrants and underlying Class A Shares until the warrants expire or are redeemed, as specified in the warrant agreement; provided that if our Class A Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange at the time of any exercise of a warrant such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, we may, at our option, require holders of public warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event we so elect, we will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but we will use our commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. If a registration statement covering the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th day after the Closing, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when we will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption, but we will use our commercially reasonably efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available. In such event, each holder would pay the exercise price by surrendering the warrants for that number of Class A Shares equal to the lesser of (A) the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “fair market value” (defined below) less the exercise price of the warrants by (y) the fair market value and (B) 0.361 per warrant. The “fair market value” as used in this paragraph shall mean the volume weighted average price of the Class A Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the trading day prior to the date on which the notice of exercise is received by the warrant agent. 
Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A Share equals or exceeds $18.00. 
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants): 
•    in whole and not in part; 
•    at a price of $0.01 per warrant; 
•    upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and 
•    if, and only if, the reported last sale price of the Class A Shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Warrants—Public Stockholders’ Warrants-Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. 
We will not redeem the warrants as described above unless a registration statement under the Securities Act covering the issuance of the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is then effective and a current prospectus relating to those Class A Shares is available throughout the 30-day redemption period. If and when the warrants become redeemable by us, we may exercise our redemption right even if we are unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws. 
We have established the last of the redemption criterion discussed above to prevent a redemption call unless there is a significant premium to the warrant exercise price at the time of the call. If the foregoing conditions are satisfied and we issue a notice of redemption of the warrants, each warrant holder will be entitled to exercise such holder’s warrants prior to the scheduled redemption date. Any such exercise would not be done on a “cashless” basis and would require the exercising warrant holder to pay the exercise price for each warrant being exercised. However, the price of the Class A Shares may fall below the $18.00 redemption trigger price (as adjusted for 
 8






adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Warrants—Public Stockholders’ Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments”) as well as the $11.50 (for whole shares) warrant exercise price after the redemption notice is issued. 
Redemption of warrants when the price per  Class A Share equals or exceeds $10.00. 
Once the warrants become exercisable, we may redeem the outstanding warrants (except as described herein with respect to the private placement warrants): 
•    in whole and not in part; 
•    at $0.10 per warrant upon a minimum of 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption provided that holders will be able to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis prior to redemption and receive that number of shares determined by reference to the table below, based on the redemption date and the “fair market value” of our Class A Shares except as otherwise described below; and 
•    if, and only if, the last sale price of our Class A Shares equals or exceeds $10.00 per public share (as adjusted for adjustments to the number of shares issuable upon exercise or the exercise price of a warrant as described under the heading “—Description of Warrants——Warrants-Public Stockholders’ Warrants-Anti-Dilution Adjustments”) on the trading day prior to the date on which we send the notice of redemption to the warrant holders. 
Beginning on the date the notice of redemption is given until the warrants are redeemed or exercised, holders may elect to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis. The numbers in the table below represent the number of Class A Shares that a warrant holder will receive upon such cashless exercise in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, based on the “fair market value” of our Class A Shares on the corresponding redemption date (assuming holders elect to exercise their warrants and such warrants are not redeemed for $0.10 per warrant), determined for these purposes based on volume weighted average price of our Class A Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of warrants, and the number of months that the corresponding redemption date precedes the expiration date of the warrants, each as set forth in the table below. We will provide our warrant holders with the final fair market value no later than one business day after the 10-trading day period described above ends. 
Pursuant to the warrant agreement, references above to Class A Shares shall include a security other than Class A Shares into which the Class A Shares have been converted or exchanged for in the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation in which the Company is not the surviving company. The numbers in the table below will not be adjusted when determining the number of Class A Shares to be issued upon exercise of the warrants if we are not the surviving entity following any such transaction. 
The share prices set forth in the column headings of the table below will be adjusted as of any date on which the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant or the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted as set forth under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below. If the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant is adjusted, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the share prices immediately prior to such adjustment, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the exercise price of the warrant after such adjustment and the denominator of which is the price of the warrant immediately prior to such adjustment. In such an event, the number of shares in the table below shall be adjusted by multiplying such share amounts by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant immediately prior to such adjustment and the denominator of which is the number of shares issuable upon exercise of a warrant as so adjusted. If the exercise price of a warrant is adjusted, (a) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the fifth paragraph under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the higher of the Market Value and the Newly Issued Price as set forth under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments” and the denominator of which is $10.00 and (b) in the case of an adjustment pursuant to the second paragraph under the heading “—Description of Warrants—Anti-dilution Adjustments” below, the adjusted share prices in the column headings will equal the unadjusted share price less the decrease in the exercise price of a warrant pursuant to such exercise price adjustment.

The exact fair market value and redemption date may not be set forth in the table above, in which case, if the fair market value is between two values in the table or the redemption date is between two redemption dates in the table, the number of Class A Shares to be issued for each warrant exercised will be determined by a straight-line interpolation between the number of shares set forth for the higher and lower fair market values and the earlier and later redemption dates, as applicable, based on a 365 or 366-day year, as applicable. For example, if the volume weighted average price of our Class A Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $11.00 per share, and at such time there 
 10






are 57 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.277 Class A Shares for each whole warrant. For an example where the exact fair market value and redemption date are not as set forth in the table above, if the volume weighted average price of our Class A Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of redemption is sent to the holders of the warrants is $13.50 per share, and at such time there are 38 months until the expiration of the warrants, holders may choose to, in connection with this redemption feature, exercise their warrants for 0.298 Class A Shares for each whole warrant. In no event will the warrants be exercisable on a cashless basis in connection with this redemption feature for more than 0.361 Class A Shares per warrant (subject to adjustment). Finally, as reflected in the table above, if the warrants are out of the money and about to expire, they cannot be exercised on a cashless basis in connection with a redemption by us pursuant to this redemption feature, since they will not be exercisable for any Class A Shares. 
This redemption feature differs from the typical warrant redemption features used in many other blank check offerings, which typically only provide for a redemption of warrants for cash (other than the private placement warrants) when the trading price for the Class A Shares exceeds $18.00 per share for a specified period of time. This redemption feature is structured to allow for all of the outstanding warrants to be redeemed when the Class A Shares are trading at or above $10.00 per public share, which may be at a time when the trading price of our Class A Shares is below the exercise price of the warrants. We have established this redemption feature to provide us with the flexibility to redeem the warrants without the warrants having to reach the $18.00 per share threshold set forth above under “—Description of Warrants—Redemption of warrants when the price per Class A Share equals or exceeds $18.00.” Holders choosing to exercise their warrants in connection with a redemption pursuant to this feature will, in effect, receive a number of shares for their warrants based on an option pricing model with a fixed volatility input as of this prospectus. This redemption right provides us with an additional mechanism by which to redeem all of the outstanding warrants, and therefore have certainty as to our capital structure as the warrants would no longer be outstanding and would have been exercised or redeemed. We will be required to pay the applicable redemption price to warrant holders if we choose to exercise this redemption right and it will allow us to quickly proceed with a redemption of the warrants if we determine it is in our best interest to do so. As such, we would redeem the warrants in this manner when we believe it is in our best interest to update our capital structure to remove the warrants and pay the redemption price to the warrant holders. 
 
As stated above, we can redeem the warrants when the Class A Shares are trading at a price starting at $10.00, which is below the exercise price of $11.50, because it will provide certainty with respect to our capital structure and cash position while providing warrant holders with the opportunity to exercise their warrants on a cashless basis for the applicable number of shares. If we choose to redeem the warrants when the Class A Shares are trading at a price below the exercise price of the warrants, this could result in the warrant holders receiving fewer Class A Shares than they would have received if they had chosen to wait to exercise their warrants if and when our Class A Shares were trading at a price higher than the exercise price of $11.50. 
No fractional Class A Shares will be issued upon exercise. If, upon exercise, a holder would be entitled to receive a fractional interest in a share, we will round down to the nearest whole number of the number of Class A Shares to be issued to the holder. 
Redemption procedures. 
A holder of a warrant may notify us in writing in the event it elects to be subject to a requirement that such holder will not have the right to exercise such warrant, to the extent that after giving effect to such exercise, such person (together with such person’s affiliates), to the warrant agent’s actual knowledge, would beneficially own in excess of 9.8% (or such other amount as a holder may specify) of the total number of Class A Shares issued and outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise. 
Anti-dilution Adjustments. 
    If the number of outstanding Class A Shares is increased by a capitalization or share dividend payable in Class A Shares, or stock split or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such capitalization or share dividend, split-up or similar event, the number of Class A Shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be increased in proportion to such increase in the outstanding Class A Shares. A rights offering made to all or substantially all holders of Class A Shares entitling holders to purchase Class A Shares at a price less than the “historical fair market value” (as defined below) will be deemed a share dividend of a number of Class A Shares equal to the product of (i) the number of Class A Shares actually sold in such rights offering (or issuable under any other equity securities sold in such rights offering that are convertible into or exercisable for Class A Shares) and (ii) one minus the quotient of (x) the price per Class A Share paid in such rights offering and (y) the historical fair market value. For these purposes, (i) if the rights offering is for securities convertible into or exercisable for Class A Shares, in determining the price payable for Class A Shares, there will be taken into account any consideration received for such rights, as well as any additional amount payable upon exercise or conversion and (ii) “historical 
 11






fair market value” means the volume weighted average price of Class A Shares as reported during the 10 trading day period ending on the trading day prior to the first date on which the Class A Shares trade on the applicable exchange or in the applicable market, regular way, without the right to receive such rights. 
In addition, if we, at any time while the warrants are outstanding and unexpired, pay a dividend or make a distribution in cash, securities or other assets to all or substantially all of the holders of Class A Shares on account of such Class A Shares, other than (a) as described above, (b) any cash dividends or cash distributions which, when combined on a per share basis with all other cash dividends and cash distributions paid on the Class A Shares during the 365-day period ending on the date of declaration of such dividend or distribution does not exceed $0.50 (as adjusted to appropriately reflect any other adjustments and excluding cash dividends or cash distributions that resulted in an adjustment to the exercise price or to the number of Class A Shares issuable on exercise of each warrant) but only with respect to the amount of the aggregate cash dividends or cash distributions equal to or less than $0.50 per share, (c) to satisfy the redemption rights of the holders of Class A Shares, or (d) in connection with the distribution of the Company’s assets upon its liquidation, then the warrant exercise price will be decreased, effective immediately after the effective date of such event, by the amount of cash and/or the fair market value of any securities or other assets paid on each Class A Share in respect of such event. 
If the number of outstanding Class A Shares is decreased by a consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division or reclassification of Class A Shares or other similar event, then, on the effective date of such consolidation, combination, reverse share sub-division, reclassification or similar event, the number of Class A Shares issuable on exercise of each warrant will be decreased in proportion to such decrease in outstanding  Class A Shares. 
Whenever the number of Class A Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants is adjusted, as described above, the warrant exercise price will be adjusted by multiplying the warrant exercise price immediately prior to such adjustment by a fraction (x) the numerator of which will be the number of Class A Shares purchasable upon the exercise of the warrants immediately prior to such adjustment and (y) the denominator of which will be the number of Class A Shares so purchasable immediately thereafter. 
In case of any reclassification or reorganization of the outstanding Class A Shares (other than those described above or that solely affects the par value of such  Class A Shares), or in the case of any merger or consolidation of us with or into another corporation (other than a consolidation or merger in which we are the continuing corporation and that does not result in any reclassification or reorganization of our outstanding Class A Shares), or in the case of any sale or conveyance to another corporation or entity of the assets or other property of us as an entirety or substantially as an entirety in connection with which we are dissolved, the holders of the warrants will thereafter have the right to purchase and receive, upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in the warrants and in lieu of the Class A Shares immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented thereby, the kind and amount of Class A Shares or other securities or property (including cash) receivable upon such reclassification, reorganization, merger or consolidation, or upon a dissolution following any such sale or transfer, that the holder of the warrants would have received if such holder had exercised their warrants immediately prior to such event. However, if such holders were entitled to exercise a right of election as to the kind or amount of securities, cash or other assets receivable upon such consolidation or merger, then the kind and amount of securities, cash or other assets for which each warrant will become exercisable will be deemed to be the weighted average of the kind and amount received per share by such holders in such consolidation or merger that affirmatively make such election, and if a tender, exchange or redemption offer has been made to and accepted by such holders (other than a tender, exchange or redemption offer made by the Company if provided for in the Company’s organizational documents) under circumstances in which, upon completion of such tender or exchange offer, the maker thereof, together with members of any group (within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Exchange Act) of which such maker is a part, and together with any affiliate or associate of such maker (within the meaning of Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act) and any members of any such group of which any such affiliate or associate is a part, own beneficially (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) more than 50% of the issued and outstanding Class A Shares, the holder of a warrant will be entitled to receive the highest amount of cash, securities or other property to which such holder would actually have been entitled as a stockholder if such warrant holder had exercised the warrant prior to the expiration of such tender or exchange offer, accepted such offer and all of the Class A Shares held by such holder had been purchased pursuant to such tender or exchange offer, subject to adjustment (from and after the consummation of such tender or exchange offer) as nearly equivalent as possible to the adjustments provided for in the warrant agreement. If less than 70% of the consideration receivable by the holders of Class A Shares in such a transaction is payable in the form of Class A Shares in the successor entity that is listed for trading on a national securities exchange or is quoted in an established over-the-counter market, or is to be so listed for trading or quoted immediately following such event, and if the registered holder of the warrant properly exercises the warrant within thirty days following public disclosure of such transaction, the warrant exercise price will be reduced as specified in the warrant agreement based on the Black-Scholes value (as defined in the warrant agreement) of the warrant. The purpose of such exercise price reduction is to provide additional value to holders of the warrants when an extraordinary transaction occurs during the exercise period of the warrants pursuant to which the holders of the warrants otherwise do not receive the full potential value of the warrants.

The warrants are issued in registered form under a warrant agreement with Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare, Inc. The warrant agreement provides that the terms of the warrants may be amended without the consent of any holder for the purpose of: (i) curing any ambiguity or correcting any mistake, including to conform the provisions of the warrant agreement to the description of the terms of the warrants and the warrant agreement set forth in the proxy statement/prospectus, or defective provision (ii) amending the provisions relating to cash dividends on Class A Shares as contemplated by and in accordance with the warrant agreement or (iii) adding or changing any provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under the warrant agreement as the parties to the warrant agreement may deem necessary or desirable and that the parties deem to not adversely affect the rights of the registered holders of the warrants, provided that the approval by the holders of at least 50% of the then-outstanding public warrants is required to make any change that adversely affects the interests of the registered holders. 
The warrant holders do not have the rights or privileges of holders of Class A Shares or any voting rights until they exercise their warrants and receive  Class A Shares. After the issuance of Class A Shares upon exercise of the warrants, each holder will be entitled to one vote for each share held of record on all matters to be voted on by stockholders. 
We have agreed that, subject to applicable law, any action, proceeding or claim against us arising out of or relating in any way to the warrant agreement will be brought and enforced in the courts of the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and we irrevocably submit to such jurisdiction, which jurisdiction will be the exclusive forum for any such action, proceeding or claim. This provision applies to claims under the Securities Act but does not apply to claims under the Exchange Act or any claim for which the federal district courts of the United States of America are the sole and exclusive forum. 
Private Placement Warrants 
Except as described below, the private placement warrants have terms and provisions that are identical to those of the warrants sold as part of the units in Altimar’s IPO. The private placement warrants (including the Class A Shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants) are not redeemable by us so long as they are held by Altimar Sponsor or its permitted transferees. Altimar Sponsor, or its permitted transferees, has the option to exercise the private placement warrants on a cashless basis. If the private placement warrants are held by holders other than Altimar Sponsor or its permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by us in all redemption scenarios and exercisable by the holders on the same basis as the warrants included in the units sold in connection with Altimar’s IPO. Any amendment to the terms of the private placement warrants or any provision of the warrant agreement with respect to the private placement warrants will require a vote of holders of at least 50% of the number of the then outstanding private placement warrants. 
If holders of the private placement warrants elect to exercise them on a cashless basis, they would pay the exercise price by surrendering their warrants for that number of Class A Shares equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the product of the number of Class A Shares underlying the warrants, multiplied by the excess of the “Sponsor fair market value” (defined below) over the exercise price of the warrants by (y) Altimar Sponsor fair market value. For these purposes, the “Sponsor fair market value” shall mean the average reported last sale price of the Class A Shares for the 10 trading days ending on the third trading day prior to the date on which the notice of warrant exercise is sent to the warrant agent. 
 
We have adopted policies that restrict insiders from selling our securities except during specific periods of time. Even during such periods of time when insiders will be permitted to sell our securities, an insider cannot trade in our securities if he or she is in possession of material non-public information. Accordingly, unlike public stockholders who could exercise their warrants and sell the Class A Shares received upon such exercise freely in the open market in order to recoup the cost of such exercise, the insiders are significantly restricted from selling such securities. As a result, we believe that allowing the holders to exercise such warrants on a cashless basis is appropriate. 
Transfer Agent, Warrant Agent and Registrar 
The transfer agent and registrar for the Blue Owl common stock and the warrant agent for the warrants is Computershare Trust Company, N.A and Computershare, Inc.
