Item 1.01.   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

On November 21, 2019, Owl Rock Capital Corporation II (the “Company”) and Owl Rock Capital Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), on the one hand, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), and GreensLedge Capital Markets LLC, as the capital markets advisor (the “Capital Markets Advisor”), on the other hand, which Purchase Agreement relates to the Company’s sale of $300 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.625% notes due 2024 (the “Notes”) to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for initial resale by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company relied upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers. The Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Notes have not been registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration. The net proceeds from the sale of the Notes were approximately $294.7 million, after deducting the fees paid to the Initial Purchasers and the Capital Markets Advisor and estimated offering expenses of approximately $850,000, each payable by the Company. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to pay down a portion of its subsidiaries’ outstanding indebtedness.

 

The Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated as of November 26, 2019 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), and a First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of November 26, 2019 (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), between the Company and the Trustee. The Notes will mature on November 26, 2024, unless repurchased or redeemed in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.625% per year payable semi-annually on May 26 and November 26 of each year, commencing on May 26, 2020. The Notes will be the Company’s direct, general unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s future indebtedness or other obligations that are expressly subordinated, or junior, in right of payment to the Notes. The Notes will rank pari passu, or equal, in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future indebtedness or other obligations that are not so subordinated, or junior, including, without limitation, the promissory notes pursuant to which the Company may borrow up to an aggregate of $50 million from the Advisor, of which none was outstanding as of September 30, 2019. The Notes will rank effectively subordinated, or junior, to any of the Company’s future secured indebtedness or other obligations (including unsecured indebtedness that the Company later secures) to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness. The Notes will rank structurally subordinated, or junior, to all existing and future indebtedness and other obligations (including trade payables) incurred by the Company’s subsidiaries, financing vehicles or similar facilities including, without limitation, borrowings under Credit Agreement among ORCC II Financing LLC and OR Lending II LLC, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, as Borrowers, and the lenders from time to time parties thereto, Goldman Sachs Bank USA as sole lead arranger, syndication agent and administrative agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company as collateral administrator and collateral agent and Cortland Capital Market Services LLC as collateral custodian, of which approximately $518.6 million was outstanding as of September 30, 2019.

 

The Indenture contains certain covenants, including covenants requiring the Company to (i) comply with the asset coverage requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, whether or not it is subject to those requirements, and (ii) provide financial information to the holders of the Notes and the Trustee if the Company is no longer subject to the reporting requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These covenants are subject to important limitations and exceptions that are described in the Indenture.

 

In addition, if a change of control repurchase event, as defined in the Indenture, occurs prior to maturity, holders of the Notes will have the right, at their option, to require the Company to repurchase for cash some or all of the Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes being repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the repurchase date.
