PROXY STATEMENT

2025 ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

The board of directors (the “Board”) of Blue Owl Capital Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company,” “Blue Owl,” “we,” “us” or “our”), has prepared this document to solicit your proxy to vote upon certain matters at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”).

These proxy materials contain information regarding the Annual Meeting, to be held on June 9, 2025, beginning at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time electronically at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWL2025, and at any adjournment or postponement thereof. The Annual Meeting will be held in a virtual meeting format only. You will not be able to attend the Annual Meeting in person. To be admitted to the Annual Meeting at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWL2025, you must enter the control number found on your proxy card, voting instruction form or notice of internet availability of proxy materials (the "Notice"). You may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website. As permitted by the rules adopted by the SEC, rather than mailing a full paper set of these proxy materials, we are mailing to many of our stockholders only the Notice containing instructions on how to access and review these proxy materials and submit their respective proxy votes online. If you receive the Notice and would like to receive a paper copy of these proxy materials, you should follow the instructions for requesting such materials located at www.proxyvote.com.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE ANNUAL MEETING AND THESE PROXY MATERIALS

It is anticipated that we will begin mailing the Notice, and that these proxy materials will first be made available online to our stockholders, on or about April 25, 2025. For those stockholders receiving paper materials, it is also anticipated that we will begin mailing this proxy statement, the proxy card and our 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”) on or about April 25, 2025. The information regarding stock ownership and other matters in this proxy statement is as of April 17, 2025, unless otherwise indicated.

What may I vote on?

You may vote on the following proposals:

•the election of directors for three-year terms expiring at the 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders once their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified, or until their earlier resignation or removal (“Proposal 1”);

•the ratification of the appointment of KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2025 fiscal year (“Proposal 2”);

•consideration and vote on a non-binding advisory resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers (“NEOs”) for our 2024 fiscal year, as disclosed in these proxy materials (commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal) (“Proposal 3”); and

•consideration and vote on a non-binding advisory determination of the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation paid to our NEOs (commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” proposal) (“Proposal 4”).

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS A VOTE FOR THE ELECTION OF EACH OF THE DIRECTOR NOMINEES LISTED HEREIN, FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR OUR 2025 FISCAL YEAR, FOR THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF COMPENSATION PAID TO THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS (“SAY-ON-PAY”) AND TO RECOMMEND HOLDING THE SAY-ON-PAY VOTE ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS (“SAY-ON-FREQUENCY”).

Who may vote?

Stockholders of record of our Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares are entitled to receive the Notice and these proxy materials and to vote their respective shares at the Annual Meeting. The Record Date for determination of stockholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is the close of business on April 17, 2025 (the “Record Date”). As of the Record Date, there were 625,652,391 Class A Shares outstanding, zero Class B Shares outstanding, 613,693,976 Class C Shares outstanding and 308,619,203 Class D Shares outstanding.

Holders of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares vote as a single class on all matters presented to the Company’s stockholders for their vote or approval, except as otherwise required by our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and applicable law. Holders of our Class A Shares and Class C Shares are entitled to one vote for each share held of record by such holder on all matters on which stockholders generally are entitled to vote. The Class B Shares and Class D Shares, together, represent 80% of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock of Blue Owl (including shares issued in the future) until such time as the Principals and certain entities controlled by them, including their permitted transferees (such as charitable trusts and estate planning vehicles) own less than 25% of their aggregate ownership as of immediately after the closing of the Business Combination (the “Sunset Date”). Upon certain transfers to third parties or certain disqualifying events, all Class B Shares and Class D Shares will automatically convert into Class A Shares or Class C Shares, respectively. The remaining Class B Shares and Class D Shares will retain an aggregate of 80% of the voting power until the Sunset Date and, as a result, will have the power to elect a majority of Blue Owl’s directors. Given the “super-voting” rights of the Class B Shares and the Class D Shares, the voting power of the Class A Shares and Class C Shares, as applicable, is less than the voting power typically associated with shares of common stock or that the “one vote per share” implies. For information about the holders of our Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares, please see “Corporate Governance and Other Board Information—Controlled Company Exemption.”

How do I vote?

We have elected to provide access to proxy materials over the Internet under the SEC’s “notice and access” rules to reduce the environmental impact and cost of the Annual Meeting. However, if you prefer to receive paper copies of our proxy materials, please follow the instructions included in the Notice. If you are attending the Annual Meeting electronically at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWL2025, you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.

Stockholders of Record

If your Class A Shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, Computershare Trust Company, N.A. and Computershare Inc., you are considered a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to vote by proxy.

You may vote by proxy in any of the following three ways:

•Internet. Go to www.proxyvote.com to use the Internet to transmit your voting instructions and for electronic delivery of information. Have your proxy card in hand when you access the website.

•Phone. Call Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. by using any touch-tone telephone to transmit your voting instructions. Call (800) 690-6903 if you hold shares in your own name and (800) 454-8683 for shares held through a broker. Have your proxy card in hand when you call.

•Mail. Mark, sign and date your proxy card and return it in the postage-paid envelope we have provided, or return it to Vote Processing c/o Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717.

Voting by any of these methods will not affect your right to attend the Annual Meeting and vote electronically at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/OWL2025, if you have not previously voted by proxy. However, for those who will not be voting electronically at the meeting, your final voting instructions must be received by no later than 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on June 8, 2025.

Beneficial Owners

Most of our stockholders hold their shares through a broker, bank or other nominee, rather than directly in their own names. If you hold your shares in one of these ways, you are considered the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name,” and the Notice is being forwarded to you by your broker, bank or other nominee who is considered, with respect to those shares, the stockholder of record. As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote. Your broker, bank or other nominee has enclosed a voting instruction form for you to use in directing the broker, bank or other nominee on how to vote your shares. Unless you provide specific voting instructions, your broker, bank or other nominee will only have the discretion to vote shares it holds on your behalf with respect to Proposal 2 (the ratification of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2025 fiscal year), but not with respect to Proposal 1 (the election of directors) or Proposal 3 (the say-on-pay proposal) or Proposal 4 (the say-on-frequency proposal) as more fully described under “What is a broker ‘non-vote’?” below.

Can I change my vote?

Yes. If you are the stockholder of record, you may revoke your proxy before it is exercised by doing any of the following:

•sending a letter to us stating that your proxy is revoked;

•signing a new proxy and sending it to us; or

•attending the Annual Meeting and voting.

Beneficial owners should contact their broker, bank or other nominee for instructions on changing their votes.

How many votes must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A “quorum” is necessary to hold the Annual Meeting. The stockholders holding a majority of the voting power of the outstanding stock of the class or classes entitled to vote, represented either in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the purposes of the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum.

How many votes are needed to approve the proposals?

Election of Directors:

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” for Proposal 1 (election of directors). At the Annual Meeting, a “FOR” vote by a plurality of votes cast is required for the election of directors. For this purpose, the three director nominees receiving the highest number of shares voted “FOR” their election will be elected. Abstention votes and broker “non-votes” are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the election of the director nominees.

Ratification of KPMG as Our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm:

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” for Proposal 2 (the ratification of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2025 fiscal year). At the Annual Meeting, a “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast is required for passage of this Proposal. For this purpose, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “FOR” this Proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” this Proposal. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the vote for this Proposal.

Approval of the Say-on-Pay Proposal

You may vote “FOR,” “AGAINST” or “ABSTAIN” for Proposal 3 (the say-on-pay proposal). At the Annual Meeting, a “FOR” vote by a majority of votes cast is required for passage of this Proposal. For this purpose, a majority of the votes cast means that the number of shares voted “FOR” this Proposal must exceed the number of votes cast “AGAINST” this Proposal. Abstentions and broker “non-votes” are not considered votes cast for the foregoing purpose and will have no effect on the vote for this Proposal.

Recommendation for Say-on-Frequency Proposal

You may vote “ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS,” “ONCE EVERY TWO YEARS,” “ONCE EVERY YEAR” or “ABSTAIN” with respect to Proposal 4 (the say-on-frequency proposal). A majority of the votes cast shall determine our stockholders’ recommendation, with regard to the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation paid to our NEOs.

Where can I find the voting results of the Annual Meeting?

The Company will announce preliminary voting results at the Annual Meeting and publish final results in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC within four business days following the Annual Meeting.

What is a broker “non-vote”?

If you are a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” and do not provide the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares with specific voting instructions, under the rules of various national and regional securities exchanges, the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares may generally vote on routine matters but cannot vote on non-routine matters. If the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares does not receive instructions from you on how to vote your shares on a non-routine matter, such organization will inform the inspector of election that it does not have the authority to vote on this matter with respect to your shares. This is commonly referred to as a broker “non-vote.”

Proposal 1 (the election of directors), Proposal 3 (the say-on-pay proposal) and Proposal 4 (say-on-frequency proposal) are matters considered non-routine under applicable rules. A broker, bank or other nominee cannot vote without your instructions on non-routine matters. For your vote to be counted on Proposal 1, Proposal 3 and Proposal 4, you will need to communicate your voting decisions to your broker, bank or other nominee before the date of the Annual Meeting using the voting instruction form provided by your broker, bank or other nominee.

Proposal 2 (the ratification of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm for our 2025 fiscal year) is a matter considered routine under applicable rules. A broker, bank or other nominee may generally vote on routine matters without your specific voting instructions.

Who will count the votes?

Representatives of Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes and act as the inspector of election.

Will any other matters be acted on at the Annual Meeting?

If any other matters are properly presented at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment or postponement thereof, the persons named in the proxy will have discretion to vote on those matters. As of the date of these proxy materials, we did not know of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

We will pay the expenses of soliciting proxies. In addition to solicitation by mail, proxies may be solicited in person or by telephone or other means by our directors or associates. We will reimburse brokers, banks and other nominees, custodians and fiduciaries for costs incurred by them in mailing these proxy materials to the beneficial owners of our common stock held of record by such persons.

Whom should I contact with other questions?

If you have additional questions about these proxy materials or the Annual Meeting, please contact Blue Owl Capital Inc., Attn: Investor Relations, 399 Park Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10022, Email: [email protected], Telephone: (212) 419-3000.

PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Board Structure and the Nominees

Our Board is currently comprised of ten directors. Our directors are divided into three classes serving staggered three-year terms. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. At each annual meeting of stockholders, directors will be elected to succeed the class of directors whose terms have expired.

In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, we entered into an investor rights agreement (as amended, the “Investor Rights Agreement”) with the Principals, Neuberger and the other parties from time to time party thereto. The Investor Rights Agreement grants the Principals and Neuberger the right to designate nominees to our Board subject to the maintenance of certain ownership requirements. Pursuant to the Investor Rights Agreement, the Principals have agreed to vote in favor of such nominees. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Investor Rights Agreement” for additional information.

Each director shall hold office for the term for which such director is elected and thereafter until such director’s successor shall have been duly elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal from office. Since there is no nominating committee, the entire Board participates in the consideration of director nominees. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the holders of our common stock are entitled to vote on all matters on which stockholders of a corporation are generally entitled to vote under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware, as amended, including the election of our Board.

In connection with the Annual Meeting, the Board has nominated Ms. Brouse, Mr. Packer and Ms. Weeks for election as Class I directors (collectively, the “Nominees”), each for a three-year term expiring at our 2028 Annual Meeting of Stockholders once their respective successors have been duly elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. The Company’s amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws (the “Organizational Documents”) provide that each director shall be elected by a plurality of the votes cast at a meeting of stockholders for the election of directors. Set forth below is information concerning our directors as of April 25, 2025, and the key experience, qualifications and skills they bring to the Board.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND OTHER BOARD INFORMATION

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our Organizational Documents provide for a classified board of directors consisting of three classes of directors, each serving staggered three-year terms. Our Board currently consists of ten members. Class I, Class II and Class III directors will serve until our annual meetings of stockholders in 2025, 2026 and 2027, respectively. Upon expiration of the term of a class of directors, directors for that class will be elected for three-year terms at the annual meeting of stockholders in the year in which that term expires. Each director’s term continues until the election and qualification of his or her successor or his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Any increase or decrease in the number of directors will be distributed among the three classes so that, as nearly as possible, each class will consist of an equal number of directors.

In addition, in connection with the Business Combination, we entered into the Investor Rights Agreement, under which the Principals and Neuberger have the right to designate nominees to our Board subject to the maintenance of certain ownership requirements. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions—Investor Rights Agreement” for additional information.

Board members are expected to devote sufficient time and attention to prepare for, attend and participate in Board meetings, including advance review of meeting materials that may be circulated prior to each meeting.

Board Leadership Structure

The Board does not have a formal policy with respect to the separation of the offices of Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. It is the Board’s view that rather than having a formal policy, the Board, upon consideration of all relevant factors and circumstances, will determine, as and when appropriate, whether it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders for such offices to be separate or combined.

At the current time, we do not separate the roles of Co-Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board. Douglas I. Ostrover has served as the Chairman of our Board and Chief Executive Officer or Co-Chief Executive Officer since inception. Our Board has determined that having the same individual hold both positions is in the best interests of Blue Owl and our stockholders and is consistent with good corporate governance for the following reasons:

•Our Chairman is more familiar with our business and strategy than an independent, non-employee chairman would be and is thus better positioned to focus our Board’s agenda on the key issues facing our Company.

•A single Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer provides strong and consistent leadership for Blue Owl, without risking overlap or conflict of roles.

•Oversight of our Company is the responsibility of our Board as a whole, and this responsibility can be properly discharged without an independent Chairman.

The Board continues to believe that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders for Mr. Ostrover to serve as Chairman and Co-Chief Executive Officer.

Independent Directors

NYSE listing standards require that a majority of the Board be independent, subject to the controlled company exemption, which applies to our Company (see below). An “independent director” is defined generally as a person other than an officer or employee of the company or its subsidiaries or any other individual having a relationship which in the opinion of the board of directors would interfere with the director’s exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. Our Board has determined that Claudia Holz, Andrew Komaroff, Stacy Polley and Dana Weeks are independent directors under this definition.

Our Board has determined that all of the members of the audit committee are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE with respect to audit committee membership. Claudia Holz, Stacy Polley and Dana Weeks are members of the audit committee, with Ms. Holz serving as the chair of the audit committee. The Board holds regularly scheduled sessions in which some or all of the independent directors meet without management.

Controlled Company Exemption

The Principals hold 80% of the voting control of our outstanding capital stock, as a result of which the Principals have the power to elect a majority of Blue Owl’s directors and have agreed to vote in favor of each other’s director designees. Pursuant to the NYSE listing standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company qualifies as a “controlled company.” Therefore, we are not subject to the NYSE listing standards that would otherwise require us to have: (i) a majority of “independent directors,” as defined under the listing standards of the NYSE; (ii) a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors; (iii) compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors; and (iv) director nominees selected, or recommended for the Board’s selection, either by a majority of the independent directors or a nominating committee comprised solely of independent directors.

Risk Oversight

The Board plays an active role in overseeing management of our risks. The Board understands the principal risks associated with the Company’s business on an ongoing basis and management keeps the Board and its committees informed of these changing risks on a timely basis.

Further, the audit committee has oversight responsibility for (1) financial reporting with respect to the Company’s major financial exposures, (2) the steps management has taken to monitor and manage key business risks facing the Company, and (3) our cybersecurity program with respect to risk assessment and risk management, including cybersecurity risk. Our Chief Technology Officer periodically reports to the audit committee as well as the full Board, as appropriate, on cybersecurity matters.

Compensation Risk Assessment

As described in greater detail under “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” below, the key elements of our compensation program consist of a base salary, cash incentive awards, periodic grants of long-term equity-based compensation, such as incentive units, other executive benefits and perquisites, and employment agreements for certain of our NEOs, which contain termination benefits. We believe that the combination of these elements protects us against excessive personnel risk, as it formulates competitive compensation packages that provide competitive pay, reward the achievement of financial, operational and strategic objectives and align the interests of our executive officers and other senior personnel with those of our stockholders. We do not believe that our compensation program creates risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

Option Grants

In response to Item 402(x)(1) of Regulation S-K, we do not currently grant new awards of stock options, stock appreciation rights, or similar option-like instruments. Accordingly, we have no specific policy or practice on the timing of awards of such options in relation to our disclosure of material nonpublic information. In the event we determine to grant new awards of such options, the Board will evaluate the appropriate steps to take in relation to the foregoing.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

We do not have a compensation committee. Rather, certain functions that a compensation committee would carry out are handled by senior management. Other than with respect to Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Rees’ and Zahr’s compensation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers have authority to determine our NEOs’ compensation. Mr. Kirshenbaum’s and Ms. Reddy’s compensation was determined by our Co-Chief Executive Officers. Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Rees’ and Zahr’s compensation is formulaic and based on the contractual terms in their respective Employment Agreements (defined below). The Board approves all final equity grants to our NEOs. The principles of our executive compensation are discussed below under “Determination of Compensation for NEOs.” As a controlled company, we are not subject to the NYSE listing standards that would otherwise require us to have compensation of our executive officers determined by a majority of the independent directors or a compensation committee comprised solely of independent directors. See “Corporate Governance and Other Board Information—Controlled Company Exemption” for additional information. For a description of certain transactions between us and members of senior management, see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”

Committees of the Board

The Board has adopted a charter for the audit committee that complies with current federal and NYSE rules relating to corporate governance matters. The Board may establish other committees from time to time as it deems necessary, advisable or appropriate.

Committee Membership; Meetings and Attendance

Between January 1, 2024 and December 31, 2024, our Board held nine meetings and our audit committee held ten meetings. Each of our directors attended, in person or by audio/video conference, at least 75% of the total number of meetings of the Board and committees on which he or she served that were held during the period he or she served as a director or committee member, as applicable. In addition to formal Board and audit committee meetings, our Board and audit committee conduct informal meetings for the purpose of continuing education. We encourage our directors to attend our annual meetings of stockholders. All directors then serving attended the 2024 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Audit Committee

The Board maintains an audit committee. The audit committee’s duties, which are specified in the Company’s audit committee charter, include, but are not limited to:

•maintain open communications with the independent auditors, internal auditors or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function, outside valuation experts, executive management and the Board;

•meet separately, from time to time, with management, internal auditors or other personnel responsible for the internal audit function and the independent auditors to discuss matters warranting attention by the audit committee;

•regularly report audit committee actions to the Board and make recommendations as the audit committee deems appropriate;

•review the financial results presented in all reports filed with the SEC;

•review reports issued by regulatory examinations and consider the results of those reviews to determine if any findings could have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements or its internal controls and procedures;

•discuss the Company’s disclosure, oversight of and conformity with the Company’s Code of Business Conduct and Code of Ethics, and matters that may have a material effect on the Company’s financial statements, operations, compliance policies and programs;

•oversee the Company’s cybersecurity and other information technology risks, controls and procedures, including the Company’s plans to mitigate cybersecurity risks and to respond to and potentially disclose cyber incidents;

•issue for public disclosure by the audit committee the report required by the SEC to be included in the Company’s annual proxy statement;

•review and reassess the adequacy of the audit committee’s charter at least annually and recommend any changes to the full Board; and

•take other actions required of the audit committee by law, applicable regulations, or as requested by the Board.

The members of the audit committee are Claudia Holz, Stacy Polley and Dana Weeks, with Ms. Holz serving as the chair of the committee. Under the rules of the SEC, members of the audit committee must also meet heightened independence standards. Our Board has determined that all of the members of the audit committee are independent directors as defined under the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and the NYSE with respect to audit committee membership. We also believe that Claudia Holz qualifies as our “audit committee financial expert,” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K. The audit committee has a charter which is available on Blue Owl’s website at ir.blueowl.com.

Code of Business Conduct

Blue Owl adopted a Code of Business Conduct that applies to all of its employees, officers and directors, including those officers responsible for financial reporting. The Code of Business Conduct is available on Blue Owl’s website at ir.blueowl.com. To the extent required by law, Blue Owl intends to disclose any amendments to, or waivers from, provisions of the Code of Business Conduct that apply to our officers responsible for financial reporting on our website at ir.blueowl.com.

Insider Trading Policy and Prohibition on Hedging and Speculative Trading

The Board has adopted, as part of our Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy, prohibitions against our executive officers, directors and employees engaging in transactions of a speculative nature involving our securities, including, but not limited to, buying or selling puts or calls or other derivative securities based on our securities, without the prior approval of our Chief Compliance Officer. In addition, such persons are prohibited from short-selling our securities or entering into hedging transactions or similar arrangements with respect to our securities subject to our Insider Trading Policy. Under our Insider Trading Policy, certain directors, officers and employees may seek approval to pledge our securities under loan arrangements that meet requirements established by our audit committee, including with respect to the pledge amount, the minimum loan to value ratio and the minimum unencumbered net asset value. For information about existing pledges of our NEOs and directors, see “Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management.” The Code of Ethics and Insider Trading Policy also contains rules regarding handling of the confidential information about us and the companies with which we do business and in which our clients invest. Our Insider Trading Policy is included as Exhibit 19.1 to our Annual Report.

Clawback Policy

The Board has adopted a clawback policy that complies with NYSE’s clawback rules promulgated under Section 10D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (as amended, the “Exchange Act”) and the rules promulgated thereunder. In the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of its financial statements due to the Company’s material noncompliance with any such financial reporting requirement, the clawback policy requires that covered executives must reimburse the Company, or forfeit, any excess incentive-based compensation received by such covered executive during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement. Executives covered by the clawback policy are current and former executive officers, as determined by the Board in accordance with Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the NYSE listing standards. Incentive-based compensation subject to the clawback policy includes any cash or equity compensation that is granted, earned or vested based wholly or in part on the attainment of a financial reporting measure. The amount subject to recovery is the excess of the incentive-based compensation received based on the erroneous data over the incentive-based compensation that would have been received had it been based on the restated results. The clawback policy will only apply to incentive-based compensation received on or after the effective date of Section 303A.14 of the NYSE Listed Company Manual. As of the date of this proxy statement, we did not have an accounting restatement that required recovery of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation pursuant to our clawback policy. There were no outstanding balances of erroneously awarded incentive-based compensation to be recovered from the application of the policy to a prior restatement. Our clawback policy is included as Exhibit 97.1 to our Annual Report.

Corporate Governance Guidelines

We have Corporate Governance Guidelines that address issues of corporate governance and set forth procedures by which our Board carries out its responsibilities. The Board does not believe that the directors should be prohibited from serving on boards of other entities or organizations and has not adopted any guidelines limiting such activities, except with respect to members serving on audit committees. Due to the demanding nature of service on the audit committee, the members of the audit committee are discouraged from serving on the audit committees of the boards of directors of more than two additional public companies at the same time as they are serving on the audit committee.

The Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on Blue Owl’s website at ir.blueowl.com.

Board Diversity

Although we have no formal policy regarding board diversity, the Board believes that diversity, among other factors, is an important component of a board of directors. The Board generally conceptualizes diversity expansively to include, without limitation, concepts such as background, skills, experience, expertise, differences of viewpoint, education, gender, race and culture, and other qualities that contribute to the Board. Our current Board composition reflects both gender and racial/ethnic diversity, based on the self-identification of our directors.

Human Capital

As of December 31, 2024, we had over 1,100 full-time employees globally.

Culture

As an alternative asset manager, we believe that our people are key to the success of our business. We embrace four core values we view as integral to creating a culture in which our people can thrive personally and professionally, including mutual respect, excellence, constructive dialogue and a “one team” mindset.

•Mutual respect. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of professional conduct. We acknowledge everyone’s unique contributions and in challenging situations, listen to understand.

•Excellence. We strive to operate always at the highest standard and deliver the best possible outcomes for our stakeholders. We are constantly analyzing our performance to learn from our successes and our mistakes.

•Constructive dialogue. We invite alternative points of view. As a firm, we encourage thoughtful, intentional and honest opinions.

•“One Team.” We pride ourselves in our strong alignment with all our stakeholders, including investors, users of our capital, employees and others. We act in the highest interest of the Blue Owl ecosystem and work across functions for greater outcomes to deliver value for all of these groups.

Our culture shapes how our employees work, grow, and create value for our investors and stockholders. Culture is not just something we talk about, it defines how we engage with one another every day. It fuels our ability to deliver results through private markets, attract and retain top talent, and build strong partnerships. We each have a meaningful role to play in strengthening and protecting our culture. Together, we invest in the practices and actions that foster connection, opportunity, and impact for each other and the many stakeholders we serve.

Stockholders and other interested parties may send communications to the Board, or to any particular director, to the following address: Blue Owl Capital Inc., Attention: General Counsel, 399 Park Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10022.

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In this Compensation Discussion and Analysis we describe our executive compensation philosophy and programs and compensation decisions regarding the 2024 compensation of our NEOs (listed below), who consist of our principal executive officer, principal financial officer, and the three other most highly compensated executive officers.


Name			Principal Position
Douglas I. Ostrover			Co-Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)
Marc S. Lipschultz			Co-Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer)
Alan Kirshenbaum			Chief Financial Officer (principal financial officer)
Neena Reddy			Chief Legal Officer, General Counsel and Secretary
Michael D. Rees			Co-President
Marc Zahr			Co-President

Compensation Philosophy

Our business as a global alternative asset manager is dependent on the performance of our NEOs and other key employees. Among other things, we depend on their ability to find, select and execute investments, manage investment strategies of our products, oversee and improve the operations of the Company, find and develop relationships with investors and other sources of capital and provide other services essential to our success.

Our compensation philosophy has several primary objectives: (i) attract, motivate and retain talented and experienced executives in our industry, (ii) reward executives whose knowledge, skills and performance are critical to our success, (iii) align executives’ interests with our investors and stockholders, (iv) foster a shared commitment among executives by aligning their individual goals with the goals of our company, (v) compensate our executives in a manner that incentivizes them to manage our business to meet our long-term objectives, and (vi) reinforce our culture and values.

One of our most important values is our “one-firm” approach with shared responsibility and success. Therefore, compensation is based on the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as on an individual’s contributions to the Company. In addition, we conduct, at least annually, an evaluation of each employee’s contribution to the Company, including his or her commitment to the Company’s culture and values.

Base salaries reflect our NEOs’ proficiency and experience in their respective roles. In addition to base salary, we utilize a blend of variable and long-term pay vehicles to further incentivize and retain talent and provide an overall compensation package that is competitive with the market. Performance-based discretionary bonuses are generally paid annually to employees, including certain NEOs, based on our profitability, market analysis and employee performance.

Management equity ownership is a guiding principle for us, and we apply that principle to our NEOs: every NEO is expected to have a meaningful equity interest in the Company. This equity ownership serves to align the interests of our NEOs with those of our stockholders.

Our compensation program is a management tool supporting our mission and values. We believe our program supports, reinforces and aligns our values, business strategy and operations with the goal of increasing distributable earnings. Compensation arrangements with our NEOs are described below under “Elements of Compensation.”

We did not engage a compensation consultant to determine our NEOs’ compensation in 2024. We do not formally benchmark or set our NEOs’ compensation by reference to the compensation of a specific peer group.

Determination of Compensation for NEOs

We do not have a compensation committee. Other than with respect to Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Rees’ and Zahr’s compensation, our Co-Chief Executive Officers have authority to determine our NEOs’ compensation. Mr. Kirshenbaum’s and Ms. Reddy’s compensation was determined by our Co-Chief Executive Officers. Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Rees’ and Zahr’s compensation is formulaic and based on the contractual terms in their respective Employment Agreements (defined below). The Board approves final equity grants to our NEOs.

Mitigation of Risk

We determined that any risks arising from our compensation programs and policies are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Our compensation programs and policies mitigate risk by combining performance-based, long-term compensation elements with payouts that are highly correlated to the value delivered to stockholders.

Elements of Compensation

Our current executive compensation program consists of a combination of the following components: (i) base salary, (ii) cash bonus payments linked to our overall performance, (iii) periodic grants of long-term equity-based compensation, such as Incentive Units and RSUs (each as defined below), and (iv) other executive benefits and perquisites. We combine these elements in order to formulate competitive compensation packages that provide competitive pay, reward the achievement of financial, operational and strategic objectives and align the interests of our NEOs and other executives with those of our stockholders.

Base Salary

For 2024, Ms. Reddy was paid an annual salary of $350,000 and each of our other NEOs was paid an annual salary of $500,000. Although we believe that the base salaries of our NEOs should not typically be the most significant amount of total compensation, our senior management determined that this amount was sufficient to attract and retain top talent, and to assist with the payment of living costs throughout the year.

Cash Bonus Payments

Our senior management has authority to award cash bonuses to our NEOs at certain times during the year and at the end of the year. The cash bonuses are intended to offer incentive compensation by rewarding the achievement of corporate and individual performance objectives. Such cash bonuses are subject to annual review by senior management. We believe that establishing cash bonus opportunities helps us attract and retain qualified and highly skilled executives. These bonuses are intended to reward executives who have a positive impact on corporate results. The bonuses for 2024 are described in more detail below.

Mr. Kirshenbaum and Ms. Reddy received discretionary cash bonus awards for their performance in 2024. The discretionary cash bonuses awarded to Mr. Kirshenbaum and Ms. Reddy recognize each individual’s contributions to our overall goals and performance. We granted these discretionary cash bonus payments to reward Mr. Kirshenbaum and Ms. Reddy for assisting us in achieving our annual goals, both for the Company as a whole and in each individual’s respective area of responsibility. Factors that were included in determining the size of the cash bonus payments include Mr. Kirshenbaum’s and Ms. Reddy’s accomplishments in driving our results, their leadership and management of their respective teams and our overall performance. Comparisons were made to prior-year performance, to our other senior professionals, and compensation that is commensurate within our industry with the intention to reward, motivate and retain Mr. Kirshenbaum and Ms. Reddy.

Equity-Based Compensation

We believe that equity-based compensation awards enable us to attract, motivate, retain and adequately compensate executive talent. To that end, we have awarded equity-based compensation both in the form of profits interests (“Incentive Units”) and restricted stock units (“RSUs”). We believe equity awards provide executives with a significant long-term interest in our

success by rewarding the creation of stockholder value over time.

For 2024, Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Rees and Zahr elected to receive quarterly grants of Incentive Units in satisfaction of their contractual right under their respective employment agreements (which are described in more detail below), and our Co-Chief Executive Officers determined the size of equity granted to our other NEOs, which was approved by our Board. Our Co-Chief Executive Officers considered each NEO’s current position with the Company, the size of their total compensation package and the amount of existing vested and unvested equity awards, if any, then held by the NEO when determining the size of equity grants made to our NEOs.

Blue Owl Capital Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan

On April 1, 2025, the Company amended and restated the Amended and Restated Blue Owl Capital Inc. 2021 Omnibus Equity Incentive Plan (as amended, the “2021 Omnibus Plan”) in connection with the Internal Reorganization.

The 2021 Omnibus Plan allows for the grant of equity incentives, such as RSUs, stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock. The 2021 Omnibus Plan also allows for the issuance, from time to time, of certain Incentive Units to Blue Owl Management Vehicle LP (“Blue Owl MV”), a vehicle formed for the benefit of certain management employees of Blue Owl, by Blue Owl Holdings, which Incentive Units issuances would be in addition to the issuance of certain RSUs. Under the 2021 Omnibus Plan, the Incentive Units entitle the recipient to receive, through Blue Owl MV, distributions from Blue Owl Holdings in accordance with the terms of, and subject to any restrictions contained in, the applicable limited partnership agreement for each of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl MV, and are currently counted against the share limit under the 2021 Omnibus Plan on a 1.00:1.00 basis (provided that each Incentive Unit granted prior to June 13, 2024 is counted against the number of shares available for issuance on a 1.25:1.00 basis).

Incentive Units

Incentive Units entitle the recipients to receive, through Blue Owl MV, distributions from Blue Owl Holdings in accordance with the terms of, and subject to any restrictions contained in, the applicable limited partnership agreement for each of Blue Owl MV and Blue Owl Holdings.

In 2024, the Company awarded Incentive Units to each NEO. Subject to a lock-up period of one year from the date of grant, all of Messrs. Ostrover's, Lipschultz's, Rees's and Zahr's, and certain of Mr. Kirshenbaum's Incentive Units were fully vested upon the date of grant. After expiration of the one-year holding requirement and attainment of required capital account thresholds, such Incentive Units settle by delivery of an equal number of Common Units of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership (the “Blue Owl Operating Group Units”) and Class C Shares. Blue Owl Operating Group Units may be exchanged (together with an equal number of Class C Shares which are cancelled for no consideration in such exchange) from time to time at the request of the holder for an equal number of newly issued Class A Shares (or at the election of an exchange committee of Blue Owl GP, a cash payment equal to the five-day volume weighted average price of our Class A Shares immediately prior to the applicable exchange date).

In 2024, Mr. Kirshenbaum was also awarded Incentive Units that vest in five equal installments on December 15 of 2025, 2026, 2027, 2028 and 2029.

In 2024, Ms. Reddy was also awarded Incentive Units that vest in three equal installments on February 15, 2027, 2028 and 2029.

For Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Rees and Zahr, the amounts presented in the Summary Compensation Table for 2024 relate to the Incentive Units granted in satisfaction of their contractual right under their respective employment agreements, and include the grants with respect to the fourth quarter of 2023 granted in February 2024 and the first three quarters of the year. Amounts related to the fourth quarter of 2024 were granted in February 2025, and therefore are not included in the table. For Mr. Kirshenbaum and Ms. Reddy, such grants were discretionary and in relation to their performance in 2024.

RSUs

Ms. Reddy was granted RSUs on December 1, 2024, that represents the portion of Ms. Reddy’s 2024 bonus that was deferred in the form of RSUs, which award will vest in three equal installments on February 15, 2026, 2027 and 2028. Each RSU represents the contingent right to receive one of the Company’s Class A Shares upon vesting.

Other Executive Benefits and Perquisites

We provide the following benefits to our NEOs: (i) health insurance, (ii) life insurance and supplemental life insurance, (iii) short-term and long-term disability, and (iv) various other benefits generally available to employees. We also provide wealth management services to Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Kirshenbaum, Rees and Zahr. We believe these benefits are generally consistent with those offered by other companies and specifically with those companies with which we compete for employees.

Termination Payments

We believe that a strong, experienced management team is essential to the best interests of the Company and our stockholders. We have entered into agreements with some of our NEOs pursuant to which such NEOs are entitled to certain benefits upon certain terminations. These termination benefits are enumerated and quantified in the section captioned “Executive Compensation – Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control.”

Clawback Policy

As provided in the section captioned “Corporate Governance and Other Board Information – Clawback Policy,” the Board has adopted a clawback policy that complies with NYSE’s clawback rules promulgated under Section 10D of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder.

Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code

Section 280G of the Code disallows a tax deduction with respect to “excess parachute payments” to certain executive officers of companies that undergo a change in control. In addition, Section 4999 of the Code imposes a 20% excise tax penalty on the individual receiving the “excess parachute payment.” Parachute payments are compensation that is linked to or triggered by a change in control and may include, but are not limited to, bonus payments, severance payments, certain fringe benefits, and payments and acceleration of vesting from long-term incentive plans or programs and other equity-based compensation. “Excess parachute payments” are parachute payments that exceed a threshold determined under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code based on an executive officer’s prior compensation. In approving compensation arrangements for our NEOs in the future, we expect that the Board will consider all elements of the cost to us of providing such compensation, including the potential impact of Section 280G of the Code. However, the Board may, in its judgment, authorize compensation arrangements that could give rise to loss of deductibility of Section 280G of the Code and the imposition of excise taxes under Section 4999 of the Code when it believes that such arrangements are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent.

Section 162(m) Compliance

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits us to a deduction for federal income tax purposes of no more than $1 million of compensation paid to certain executive officers in a taxable year. Senior management will consider the impact of Section 162(m) when making compensation decisions.

Section 409A Considerations

Another section of the Code, Section 409A, affects the manner by which deferred compensation opportunities are offered to our employees by requiring, among other things, that “non-qualified deferred compensation” be structured in a manner that limits employees’ abilities to accelerate or further defer certain kinds of deferred compensation. We intend to operate our existing compensation arrangements that are covered by Section 409A in accordance with the applicable rules thereunder, and we will continue to review and amend our compensation arrangements where necessary to comply with Section 409A.

Accounting for Equity-Based Compensation

We follow Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 (“ASC 718”) for our equity-based compensation awards. ASC 718 requires companies to calculate the grant date fair value of their equity-based awards using a variety of assumptions. ASC 718 also requires companies to recognize the compensation cost of their equity-based awards in their income statements over the period that an employee is required to render service in exchange for the award. We anticipate that senior management will regularly consider the accounting implications of significant compensation decisions, especially in connection with decisions that relate to our equity incentive award plans and programs. As accounting standards change, we may revise certain programs to appropriately align accounting expenses of our equity awards with our overall executive compensation philosophy and objectives.

Stockholder Say-on-Pay and Say-on-Frequency Vote

Say-on-Pay

We previously held an advisory vote on executive compensation at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (referred to as the “say-on-pay” vote), pursuant to which the majority of the advisory votes cast approved the compensation of our NEOs. The Board carefully considered the results of this vote in making decisions about our executive compensation program and given the level of support, we did not make any significant changes to our executive compensation program. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on a "say-on-pay" proposal to vote on a non-binding resolution to approve the compensation paid to our named executive officers for our 2024 fiscal year. See "Proposal 3: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation for Fiscal Year 2024" for more information.

Say-on-Frequency

We previously held an advisory vote on the frequency of future “say-on-pay” advisory votes (referred to as the “say-on-frequency” vote) at our 2022 annual meeting of stockholders, pursuant to which the majority of the advisory votes cast voted to hold our “say-on-pay” votes every three years. The Board considered the outcome of this advisory vote and determined that future “say-on-pay” votes will be conducted every three years. At the Annual Meeting, stockholders will be asked to vote on a "say-on-frequency" proposal to vote on a non-binding advisory determination of the frequency of future advisory votes on the compensation paid to our named executive officers. See "Proposal 4: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation for Fiscal Year 2024" for more information.

Compensation Committee Report

As noted above, our Board does not have a compensation committee. The entire Board has reviewed and had the opportunity to discuss with management the foregoing Compensation Discussion and Analysis and, based on such review and discussion, has determined that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis should be included in this proxy statement.

Narrative Description to the Summary Compensation Table and the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table for the 2024 Fiscal Year

Written Agreements

Blue Owl has entered into employment and restrictive covenant agreements (each, an “Employment Agreement”) with Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz and Zahr, as amended and restated on February 25, 2022, and with Mr. Rees, as amended and restated on August 7, 2023. The term of each Employment Agreement is perpetual until terminated in accordance with its terms. The NEOs each have the right to terminate their employment voluntarily at any time, subject to minimum notice requirements, and Blue Owl may only terminate Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Zahr and Rees’ employment for cause (in each case as defined in the respective Employment Agreement) or by reason of the NEO’s death or disability.

The Ostrover, Lipschultz and Zahr Employment Agreements provide that (i) a portion of each of Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s and Zahr’s right to receive up to 1.33% of the Management Fee Revenue that exceed their base compensation (the “Additional Amounts”) will be paid in the form of Incentive Units, if offered by the Company and elected by each, and (ii) the remainder of any such Additional Amounts will be in the form of cash; provided that for periods subsequent to 2022, the proportional amounts of cash and Incentive Units will be subject to required consent under the Investor Rights Agreement. The number of Incentive Units issued is calculated based on the volume weighted average trading price for the ten trading days prior to the payment date. Such Incentive Units are fully vested upon grant and subject to a one-year lockup period and additional limitations on settlement. In respect of 2024, the Company offered, and each of Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz and Zahr elected to receive, 100% of such Additional Amounts in Incentive Units.

The Rees Employment Agreement provides that Mr. Rees is entitled to additional compensation in an amount per annum equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the Applicable Portion (as defined in the Rees Employment Agreement) (which is a formulaic amount based on the management fees of certain products) over (ii) Mr. Rees’ base compensation (“Additional Compensation”). Payment of the Additional Compensation will be made in quarterly payments in cash unless, if offered by the Company, Mr. Rees elects to receive it in Incentive Units (subject to any necessary approvals under the Investor Rights Agreement). The Company offered and Mr. Rees elected to receive payment of the Additional Compensation in the form of Incentive Units through December 31, 2025. In December of each year, Mr. Rees will indicate to the Company the specified dollar amount for the quarterly installments. For the 2024 calendar year, the quarterly payments were set by Mr. Rees at $7,000,000 per quarter. The Rees Employment Agreement also provides for true-up and repayment mechanisms at the end of each year based on the final calculation of the Applicable Portion (as defined in the Rees Employment Agreement) for such calendar year. Such final true-ups would occur upon the finalization of Blue Owl’s annual audit during the first quarter following the end of each fiscal year.

Each Employment Agreement requires Messrs. Ostrover, Lipschultz, Zahr and Rees to protect the confidential information of Blue Owl both during and after employment. In addition, during Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Zahr’s and Rees’ employment and (i) until two years after each of their employment terminates (such date, the “Termination Date,” and such period, the “Restricted Period”), they are required to refrain from soliciting employees under the circumstances specified therein, (ii) until one year after their Termination Date (or for Mr. Zahr, during the Restricted Period), they are required to refrain from soliciting Blue Owl’s clients under the circumstances specified therein and (iii) until five years after their Termination Date (or, for Mr. Zahr, the later of (x) five years after his effective date (December 29, 2021) or until one year after his Termination Date) (the “Non-Compete Restricted Period”), they are required to refrain from interfering with Blue

Owl’s relationships with investors and from competing with (a) a business line of Blue Owl’s as of their Termination Date or (b) a business line planned as of their Termination Date, to be implemented within the 12-month period following such Termination Date.

If Messrs. Ostrover’s or Lipschultz’s employment is terminated for any reason, they will be entitled to an annual amount of 1.33% of Management Fee Revenue during the Non-Compete Restricted Period, but such entitlement does not apply in the case of a termination (i) for cause or (ii) as a result of voluntary departure prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the Business Combination. If Mr.Zahr's employment is terminated for any reason other than for cause (and not due to his death or disability) (i) prior to January 1, 2026, he will be entitled to continuation of his base salary and Additional Compensation until the earlier of (x) three years following the Termination Date and (y) January 1, 2027, (ii) following January 1, 2026 but prior to January 1, 2027, he will be entitled to continuation of his base salary for one year following the Termination Date and Additional Compensation through December 31, 2026, and (iii) following January 1, 2027, he will be entitled to continuation of his base salary for one year following his Termination Date. If Mr. Rees’ employment is terminated for any reason other than (i) for cause or (ii) as a result of a voluntary departure prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the Business Combination, he will be entitled to an annual amount equal to 30% of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount (as defined in the Rees Employment Agreement) for each year during the Non-Compete Restricted Period. The continued compensation described in the preceding sentences is subject to the execution and delivery to Blue Owl of a general release of claims and continued compliance with Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s and Rees’ Employment Agreement’s covenants not to compete with Blue Owl and its affiliates during the Non-Compete Restricted Period.

Mr. Kirshenbaum is party to a letter agreement with Owl Rock Capital Partners LP, dated as of July 22, 2016, which provides for certain termination benefits. Under this letter agreement, in connection with a termination of Mr. Kirshenbaum’s employment for any reason, he is entitled to (i) continued base salary and health benefits for the 12-month period following such termination, and (ii) a lump sum cash payment of $1 million to be paid upon the one year anniversary of such termination. The letter agreement was entered into in exchange for Mr. Kirshenbaum’s agreement to a 12-month post-employment non-solicitation period and 12-month post-employment period of continued duties of fidelity and good faith.

Under the terms of her employment letter, Ms. Reddy is subject to certain restrictive covenants, including confidentiality, non-disparagement, non-solicitation and non-interference requirements that are consistent with such terms of other employment letters described above.

Pension Benefits

Our NEOs did not participate in or have account balances in qualified or nonqualified defined benefit plans sponsored by us. Our Board or senior management may elect to adopt qualified or nonqualified benefit plans in the future if they determine that doing so is in our best interest.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

Our NEOs did not participate in or have account balances in nonqualified defined contribution plans or other nonqualified deferred compensation plans maintained by us. The Board or senior management may elect to provide our NEOs and other

employees with nonqualified defined contribution or other nonqualified deferred compensation benefits in the future if it determines that doing so is in our best interest.

Potential Payments upon Termination or a Change in Control

As described in the section titled “Narrative Description to the Summary Compensation Table and the Grant of Plan-Based Awards Table for the 2024 Fiscal Year – Written Agreements,” our NEOs have certain entitlements to payment upon termination. Under Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s and Rees’ Employment Agreements, in the event either of Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s or Rees’ employment had terminated as of the end of fiscal year 2024 for any reason other than (i) for cause or (ii) as a result of voluntary departure by such NEO prior to the fifth anniversary of the date of the Business Combination, (a) each of Messrs. Ostrover and Lipschultz would have been entitled to an annual amount equal to 1.33% of Management Fee Revenue (approximately $132,605,234 based on total GAAP management fees earned by Blue Owl in 2024) and (b) Mr. Rees would have been entitled to an amount equal to 30% of the GP Strategic Capital Aggregate Compensation Amount (as defined in the Rees Employment Agreement) (approximately $159,470,574 based on the relevant adjusted GAAP management fees earned by Blue Owl in 2024), in each case, during the five-year Non-Compete Restricted Period. In accordance with the terms of Mr. Kirshenbaum’s letter agreement described above, in the event Mr. Kirshenbaum’s employment had terminated for any reason, he would have been entitled to receive one year of base salary and health benefits and a lump sum cash payment of $1 million to be paid upon the one-year anniversary of such termination (approximately $1,523,822 based on his base salary and health benefits in 2024). Under Mr. Zahr's Employment Agreement, in the event his employment had terminated for any reason other than cause (and not due to his death or disability) as of the end of fiscal year 2024, he would have been entitled to receive his base salary and Additional Compensation until January 1, 2027 (approximately $53,042,094 based on his base salary and GAAP management fees earned by Blue Owl in 2024).

Pay Ratio

As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we determined that (i) the 2024 total compensation of Douglas I. Ostrover, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, of $23,912,432 was approximately 66 times the total compensation of our median employee in 2024 and (ii) the 2024 total compensation of Marc S. Lipschultz, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, of $23,881,675 was approximately 65 times the total compensation of our median employee in 2024. The total compensation of the median employee in 2024 was $364,951.

We identified the median employee using the base salary, bonus and value of equity awards granted in fiscal year 2024 for all individuals, excluding our Co-Chief Executive Officers, who were employed by us on December 31, 2024. After identifying the median employee, we calculated annual total compensation for such employee using the same methodology we used for determining the Co-Chief Executive Officers’ compensation shown in the “2024 Summary Compensation Table.”

Pay Versus Performance

As required by Section 953(a) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, we are providing the following information about the relationship between executive compensation actually paid (as defined by SEC rules) and certain financial performance of Blue Owl. We do not use any financial performance measures to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs to the Company’s performance. Accordingly, pursuant to SEC rules, we have not included a “Company-Selected Measure” or a tabular list of performance measures. For more information about our executive compensation program, please refer to the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

During 2022, our non-PEO NEOs consisted of Messrs. Kirshenbaum, Lipschultz, Packer and Ward. During 2021, our non-PEO NEOs consisted of Messrs. Kirshenbaum, Rees, Ward and Zahr. The dollar amounts represent the average of the total compensation reported for non-PEO NEOs as a group (excluding our PEO for such year) in the “Total” column of the “2024 Summary Compensation Table” for each applicable year.

Pay Versus Performance Comparative Disclosure

As previously discussed, we do not use any financial performance measures to link compensation actually paid to our NEOs to the Company’s performance. In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, the Company is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between the information presented in the table above.

Compensation Actually Paid and Total Stockholder Returns

We do not use total stockholder return as a performance measure in our overall executive compensation program, and, as a result, there is not a direct correlation between the amount of “compensation actually paid” to the PEOs and the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the non-PEO NEOs as set forth in the table. As demonstrated in the table above, “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs and non-PEO NEOs directionally moved consistently with total stockholder returns for the Company and the peer group in 2024 compared to 2023, 2023 compared to 2022 and 2022 compared to 2021.

Compensation Actually Paid and Net Income (Loss)

We do not use GAAP consolidated net income (loss) as a performance measure in our overall executive compensation program, and, as a result, there is not a direct correlation between the amount of “compensation actually paid” to the PEOs and the average amount of “compensation actually paid” to the non-PEO NEOs as set forth in the table. As demonstrated in the table above, “compensation actually paid” to our PEOs and non-PEO NEOs directionally moved consistently with GAAP consolidated net income (loss) in 2024 compared to 2023 and 2023 compared to 2022. For 2022 compared to 2021, these amounts directionally moved in the opposite direction due to the accounting impacts of the Business Combination.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The following table provides certain information with respect to the 2021 Omnibus Plan as of December 31, 2024, the only equity compensation plan in effect as of such date.


Plan category (1)	Number of securities to be issued upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and rights (a)	Weighted-average exercise price of outstanding options, warrants and rights (b)	Number of securities remaining available for future issuance under equity compensation plans (excluding securities reflected in column (a)) (c)

Equity compensation plans not approved by security holders	—	—	—
Total	96,531,341	—	71,033,196

(1)Column (a) reflects 35,258,030 Class A Shares issuable in respect of RSUs outstanding, 35,157,771 Class A Shares issuable in respect of Incentive Units outstanding, 26,115,540 Class A Shares issuable in respect of Incentive Units that have converted to Common Units that remain outstanding. Column (c) represents total Class A Shares approved to be issued under the 2021 Omnibus Plan of 171,930,614 reduced by 35,258,030 RSUs outstanding, 4,366,077 Class A Shares issued in respect to RSUs that have vested, 35,157,771 Incentive Units outstanding and 26,115,540 Common Units outstanding. Incentive Units and Common Units resulting from the conversion of Incentive Units that were granted prior to the amendment to the 2021 Omnibus Plan adopted on June 13, 2024, reduce the number of Class A Shares available to be issued under the 2021 Omnibus Plan by a factor of 1.25. Incentive Units and Common Units resulting from the conversion of Incentive Units granted subsequent to the amendment reduce the number of Class A Shares available to be issued under the 2021 Omnibus Plan on a one-to-one basis.

COMPENSATION OF OUR DIRECTORS

Each director who is not an employee of any entity related to Blue Owl (“independent directors”) is entitled to an annual cash retainer of $150,000 per year for service as a member of the Board, members of the audit committee (other than its chair) are entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000 per year for committee service, and the chair of the audit committee is entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $50,000 for his or her committee service. In addition, each independent director is entitled to an annual equity grant of RSUs that, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, was increased, as of April 23, 2024, from $100,000 (based on a volume-weighted average share price leading up to the grant date, which amount will differ from the grant date fair value of such awards under ASC 718 presented in the table below) to $200,000, which fully vest in the year following the date of grant, subject to the Board member’s continued service on our Board. Members of the audit committee (other than its chair) are entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $25,000 per year for committee service, and the chair of the audit committee is entitled to receive an additional cash retainer of $50,000 for his or her committee service. It is expected that directors affiliated with Neuberger will waive their right to any compensation payable pursuant to this program.

We also reimburse independent directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of their duties as directors, including travel expenses in connection with their attendance in-person at Board and committee meetings. Directors who are employees of or provide services to (other than as a director) any entity related to Blue Owl Capital Inc. did not receive any compensation for their services as directors.

The Board periodically reviews the compensation of the independent directors in order to ensure the appropriateness of the compensation program.

2024 Director Compensation Table

The following table contains information concerning the compensation paid in 2024 to non-employee directors and employee directors who were not NEOs. Messrs. Ostrover’s, Lipschultz’s, Rees’s and Zahr’s compensation is shown in the table entitled “2024 Summary Compensation Table” and the related tables that follow.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the beneficial ownership of our Class A Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares as of the date hereof based on their reported ownership as of April 17, 2025, with respect to (i) each person known by us to beneficially own 5% or more of our outstanding Class A Shares, Class C Shares or our Class D Shares; (ii) each member of the Board and each executive officer; and (iii) the members of the Board and our executive officers as a group.

Beneficial ownership is determined according to the rules of the SEC, which generally provide that a person has beneficial ownership of a security if he, she or it possesses sole or shared voting or investment power over that security, including options and warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days. Company stock issuable upon exercise of options and warrants currently exercisable within 60 days are deemed outstanding solely for purposes of calculating the percentage of total voting power of the beneficial owner thereof. The aggregate voting power of the Class B Shares and Class D Shares represents 80% of the total voting power of all shares of capital stock of Blue Owl Capital Inc. The percentage of total voting power set forth in the table below is calculated based on this percentage.

The following beneficial ownership percentages are based on 625,652,391 Class A Shares, zero Class B Shares, 613,693,976 Class C Shares and 308,619,203 Class D Shares issued and outstanding as of April 17, 2025.

Unless otherwise indicated, the Company believes that each person named in the table below has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares of Company common stock beneficially owned by them.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Investor Rights Agreement

In connection with the Business Combination, the Company entered into the Investor Rights Agreement. Among other things, the Investor Rights Agreement provides for a ten-person board of directors, consisting of (i) three individuals designated by the ORC Principals (as defined therein), initially to be Doug I. Ostrover, Marc S. Lipschultz and Craig Packer, (ii) two individuals designated by the Dyal Principals (as defined therein), initially to be Michael D. Rees and Sean Ward, (iii) one individual designated by Neuberger, initially to be Andrew Komaroff, (iv) Marc Zahr, who was made a member pursuant to the Oak Street Investor Rights Agreement (discussed below) and (v) three independent directors. Neuberger has certain continued nomination rights for its one director while they maintain in excess of certain ownership percentages, as determined in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement, and the Principals have agreed to take actions to approve such nominations. Blue Owl has qualified as, and has elected to be treated as, a controlled company within the meaning of the NYSE rules at the closing of the Business Combination, and has agreed to certain covenants in accordance therewith.

The Investor Rights Agreement provides that certain material actions of Blue Owl and/or its subsidiaries require approval of its Board and/or, until certain ownership thresholds are no longer maintained or (in some cases) an applicable time period has not expired, Neuberger. Pursuant to an amendment to the Investor Rights Agreement, Neuberger has consent rights with respect to issuances over certain thresholds under the 2021 Omnibus Plan.

The Investor Rights Agreement also provides Neuberger with certain preemptive rights with respect to future equity offerings by Blue Owl, Blue Owl Holdings and their subsidiaries, subject to certain exceptions, such as for equity issued as part of an underwritten public offering for cash or as acquisition consideration to unrelated third parties. Neuberger also has certain information rights and confidentiality obligations under the Investor Rights Agreement.

Under the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, Blue Owl and Blue Owl Holdings grant the Principals certain customary demand, shelf and piggyback registration rights. Blue Owl also grants the equity holders of Altimar Sponsor LLC certain customary shelf and piggyback registration rights.

On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Second Amended and Restated Investor Rights Agreement in connection with the Internal Reorganization.

Principals Agreement

On August 7, 2023, the Company entered into an agreement (the “Principals Agreement”) with Blue Owl Holdings and each of Douglas Ostrover, Marc Lipschultz, Craig Packer, Alan Kirshenbaum, Marc Zahr, Michael Rees, Sean Ward and Andrew Laurino (the “Principals”, and together with the Company and Blue Owl Holdings, the “Parties”). Pursuant to the terms of the Principals Agreement, (i) subject to certain sunset provisions and the terms of the Investor Rights Agreement, the Principals will not take any action in opposition to any stockholder proposal that is approved and recommended by the Board in accordance with the Investor Rights Agreement and (ii) the Parties are subject to certain mutual non-disparagement and release provisions, as well as provisions regarding administrative leave. The Principals Agreement also sets forth certain mutual releases among the Parties.

Oak Street Investor Rights Agreement

Effective upon the consummation of the Oak Street Acquisition pursuant to the terms of the Oak Street Acquisition Agreement, Blue Owl, Blue Owl GP, Blue Owl Holdings LP, the Key Individuals and Mr. Zahr entered into an investor rights agreement (the “Oak Street Investor Rights Agreement”). The Oak Street Investor Rights Agreement provides, among other things, that Blue Owl, each of the Key Individuals and Mr. Zahr shall take all Necessary Action (as defined under the Oak Street Investor Rights Agreement) to cause Mr. Zahr to be a member of the Board, and Mr. Zahr will enter into a contractual lock-up with respect to Blue Owl common stock or Common Units received by Mr. Zahr and his affiliated entities as part of the transaction.

Oak Street Registration Rights Agreement

Upon consummation of the Oak Street Acquisition, pursuant to the Oak Street Acquisition Agreement, Blue Owl, the holders party thereto, including Mr. Zahr and OSREC Feeder, entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Oak Street

Registration Rights Agreement”), that provides each of the holder parties, including Mr. Zahr and OSREC Feeder, with certain registration rights. Pursuant to the terms of the Oak Street Registration Agreement, in December 2022 Blue Owl filed a resale shelf registration statement registering each Holder’s (as defined under the Oak Street Registration Rights Agreement) resale of the shares of Blue Owl’s common stock.

Exchange Agreement

Blue Owl GP, Blue Owl Holdings, Blue Owl, Blue Owl MV and the holders of Common Units are parties to the Third Amended and Restated Exchange Agreement, dated as of April 1, 2025 (the “Exchange Agreement”). The Exchange Agreement provides that such holders, subject to any applicable transfer restrictions, may (subject to the terms of the Exchange Agreement) exchange an equal number of Common Units or Eligible MV Units (as defined therein), as applicable, and cancel an equal number of Class C Shares or Class D Shares, as applicable, for an equal number of Class A Shares or Class B Shares, as applicable, or cash. Under certain circumstances, an exchange committee established by Blue Owl GP may elect on behalf of Blue Owl Holdings to pay holders of Common Units or Eligible MV Units, as applicable, a cash payment in lieu of delivery of Class A Shares or Class B Shares described in the foregoing sentence, with such cash payment equal to the five-day volume weighted average price of Class A Shares immediately prior to the applicable exchange date. A holder must exchange at least 10,000 Common Units, or Eligible MV Units, as applicable, in each Exchange (as defined herein), unless such holder owns a lesser amount of such units and is exchanging all of the Common Units held by them at such time.

The Exchange Agreement contains restrictions on the timing and amount of Exchanges of the Common Units and Eligible MV Units, as applicable, that are intended to prevent the Blue Owl Operating Partnership from being treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes; such restrictions are modeled on certain safe harbors provided for under applicable U.S. federal income tax law. Blue Owl GP may also impose additional restrictions on Exchanges that Blue Owl or Blue Owl GP determines to be necessary or advisable so that the Blue Owl Operating Partnership is not treated as a “publicly traded partnership” for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Tax Receivable Agreement

Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry made an election under Section 754 of the Code for the taxable year in which the Business Combination occurred, and such election will remain in effect for any future taxable year in which an exchange of Common Units, or Eligible MV Units, as applicable, for Class A and Class B Shares (or cash) under the Exchange Agreement occurs. Such elections have resulted in increases to the tax basis of the assets of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry at the time of the Business Combination transactions and are expected to result in such increases for any future exchange of Common Units for Class A and Class B Shares (or cash) under the Exchange Agreement. Additionally, we have acquired from certain of the Owl Rock equity holders certain corporations formed to hold interests in Owl Rock and are therefore entitled to utilize certain tax attributes of such corporations and are also entitled to utilize other tax attributes of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry as a result of the Business Combination. Such increases in the tax basis of the tangible and intangible assets of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry, as well as these other tax attributes, have reduced the amount of tax that Blue Owl or Blue Owl GP would otherwise be required to pay in the future. Such increases in tax basis and other tax attributes have also decreased gains (or increased losses) on future dispositions of certain capital assets to the extent tax basis is allocated to those capital assets. The IRS may challenge all or part of the tax basis increase, other tax attributes and associated increased deductions, and a court could sustain such a challenge.

At the closing of the Business Combination, we entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement with the Owl Rock equity holders and Dyal equity holders (the “TRA Recipients”) that provides for the payment by Blue Owl GP to the TRA Recipients of 85% of the amount of cash tax savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income tax that we actually realize (or are deemed to realize in the case of an early termination payment by us or a change in control, as discussed below) as a result of the increases in tax basis, existing tax attributes and certain other tax benefits related to our entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement, as described above. This payment obligation is the obligation of Blue Owl GP and not the obligation of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership. We will benefit from the remaining 15% of cash tax savings, if any, that we realize as a result of such tax attributes. For purposes of the Tax Receivable Agreement, the cash tax savings have been computed by comparing our actual income tax liability to the amount of such taxes that we would have been required to pay had there been no increase to the tax basis of our assets as a result of the Business Combination or the exchanges and no other existing tax attributes (as described above) and had we not entered into the Tax Receivable Agreement (calculated by making certain assumptions).

The term of the Tax Receivable Agreement will continue until all such tax benefits have been utilized or expired, unless we exercise our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement for an amount based on the present value of the agreed payments remaining to be made under the agreement (as described in more detail below), there is a change of control (as described in more detail below) or we breach any of our material obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement, in which case all obligations will generally be accelerated and due as if we had exercised our right to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement. Estimating the amount of payments that may be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement is by its nature imprecise, as the calculation depends on a variety of factors. The actual increase in tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership, as well as the amount and timing of any payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement, will vary depending upon a number of factors, including:

•the timing of exchanges of Common Units for our Class A and Class B Shares (or cash) under the Exchange Agreement—for instance, the increase in any tax deductions will vary depending on the fair value, which may fluctuate over time, of the relevant Common Units at the time of each exchange;

•the price of our Class A Shares and Class B Shares at the time of the exchange—the increase in any tax deductions, as well as the tax basis increase in other assets or other tax attributes, is proportional to the price of our Class A Shares and Class B Shares at the time of the exchange;

•the extent to which such exchanges are taxable—if an exchange is not taxable for any reason, an increase in the tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership (and thus increased deductions) may not be available as a result of such exchange; and

•the amount and timing of our income—we will be required to pay 85% of the cash tax savings, if any, as and when realized.

If we do not have taxable income (determined without regard to the tax basis and other tax attributes that are subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement), we will generally not be required (absent a change of control or other circumstances requiring an early termination payment) to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement for that taxable year because no cash tax savings will have been actually realized. However, any cash tax savings that do not result in realized benefits in a given tax year may generate tax attributes that may be utilized to generate benefits in future tax years (with possibly some carry back potential to prior tax years for certain tax purposes). The utilization of such tax attributes will result in payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Future payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement in respect of subsequent exchanges of Common Units for our Class A Shares and Class B Shares (or cash) under the Exchange Agreement are expected to be substantial. It is possible that future transactions or events could increase or decrease the actual cash tax savings realized and the corresponding payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement. There may be a material negative effect on our liquidity if, as a result of timing discrepancies or otherwise, the payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement exceed the actual cash tax savings we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement and/or distributions to us by the Blue Owl Operating Partnership are not sufficient to permit the Blue Owl GP to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement after it has paid taxes. The payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are not conditioned upon the TRA Recipients’ continued ownership of us or the Blue Owl Operating Partnership.

In addition, the Tax Receivable Agreement provides that upon a change of control, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement would be accelerated as if we had exercised our early termination right based on certain assumptions, (as described below) including that we would have sufficient taxable income to fully utilize the deductions arising from the increased tax deductions and tax basis and other benefits related to entering into the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Furthermore, we may elect to terminate the Tax Receivable Agreement early by making an immediate payment equal to the present value of the anticipated future cash tax savings. In determining such anticipated future cash tax savings, the Tax Receivable Agreement includes several assumptions, including (1) that any Common Units that have not been exchanged are deemed exchanged for the market value of our Class A and Class B Shares and the amount of cash that would have been transferred if the exchange had occurred at the time of termination, (2) we will have sufficient taxable income in each future taxable year to fully utilize all relevant tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, (3) the tax rates for future years will be those specified in the law as in effect at the time of termination, and (4) certain non-amortizable, non-deductible assets are deemed disposed of within specified time periods. In addition, the present value of such anticipated future cash tax savings are discounted at a rate equal to the lesser of (i) 6.5% and (ii) SOFR plus 110 basis points.

As a result of the change in control provisions and the early termination right, we could be required to make payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement that are greater than or less than 85% of the actual cash tax savings that we realize in respect of the tax attributes subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement. In these situations, our obligations under the Tax Receivable Agreement could have a substantial negative impact on our liquidity.

Decisions made in the course of running our businesses may influence the timing and amount of payments that are received by the TRA Recipients under the Tax Receivable Agreement. For example, the earlier disposition of assets following an exchange or acquisition transaction will generally accelerate payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement and increase the present value of such payments, and the disposition of assets before an exchange or acquisition transaction will increase the tax liability of an exchanging holder without giving rise to any rights to payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement.

Payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement are based on the tax reporting positions that we will determine. Although we are not aware of any issue that would cause the IRS to challenge an increase in the tax basis of the assets of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership that would otherwise be subject to the Tax Receivable Agreement, we will not be reimbursed for any payments previously made under the Tax Receivable Agreement with respect to a tax basis increase that is successfully challenged. As a result, in certain circumstances, payments could be made under the Tax Receivable Agreement in excess of our cash tax savings.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the following executive officers and directors received payments under the Tax Receivable Agreement: $2,519,710 to Mr. Ostrover; $1,807,870 to Mr. Lipschultz; $141,794 to Mr. Kirshenbaum; and $472,646 to Mr. Packer.

Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement

In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, Blue Owl Holdings entered into the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement, which, among other things, permits the issuance and ownership of Common Units as contemplated to be issued and owned upon the consummation of the Business Combination, admits Blue Owl GP as the general partner of Blue Owl Holdings and otherwise amends and restates the rights and preferences of the Common Units set forth therein.

Subject to certain limitations, Blue Owl GP, as the general partner of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership, will have the sole authority to manage the Blue Owl Operating Partnership in accordance with the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement and applicable law, provided that (i) such authority is subject to the consent rights of Neuberger described below and (ii) Blue Owl GP is not permitted to override the rights or protections of Blue Owl, its governing bodies and its stockholders pursuant to our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, the Investor Rights Agreement or any agreement binding on Blue Owl.

Subject to certain exceptions and limitations, the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement permits the Blue Owl Operating Partnership, Blue Owl GP and Blue Owl to undertake all actions necessary to maintain the one-to-one ratios between the number of units in the Blue Owl Operating Partnership held by Blue Owl GP and the number of Class A Shares, Class B Shares, Class C Shares and Class D Shares issued and outstanding.

Pursuant to the Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement, except with respect to “tax distributions” described below, Blue Owl GP has the right to determine when distributions will be made to the partners of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership (including to Blue Owl GP, with respect to its economic general partner interest in the Blue Owl Operating Partnership) and the amount of any such distributions, provided that any such distribution is made to all of the partners pro rata in accordance with their respective ownership of Common Units.

The Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement provides for mandatory “tax distributions” to the partners of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership if the taxable income of the Blue Owl Operating Partnership gives rise to taxable income for its partners. Generally, these tax distributions are computed based on an estimate of the net taxable income of the relevant entity multiplied by an assumed tax rate, equal to the highest combined maximum marginal U.S. federal, state and local income tax rate prescribed for an individual or corporate resident in New York, New York.

The Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement also provides Neuberger with the same rights it has under the Investor Rights Agreement with respect to Blue Owl and its subsidiaries, including preemptive rights on certain future equity issuances,

consent rights on certain material matters and the right to receive information with respect to the Blue Owl Operating Partnership, as is more fully described under the subsection entitled “Investor Rights Agreement” above.

On October 22, 2021, we amended the 2021 Omnibus Plan and effectuated the Second Amended and Restated Blue Owl Limited Partnership Agreement of the Blue Owl Partnership to increase the share limit under the 2021 Omnibus Plan and to allow for the issuance, from time to time, of certain Incentive Units to Blue Owl MV, a vehicle formed for the benefit of certain management employees of Blue Owl, by Blue Owl Holdings, which Incentive Units issuances would be in addition to the issuance of certain RSUs. The Incentive Units entitle the recipient to receive, through Blue Owl MV, distributions from Blue Owl Holdings in accordance with the terms of, and subject to any restrictions contained in, the limited partnership agreement for each of Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl MV. On June 13, 2024, our stockholders approved the 2021 Omnibus Plan pursuant to which the Incentive Units are counted against the share limit under the Plan on a 1:00:1:00 basis (provided that each Incentive Unit issued prior to the effective date of the 2021 Omnibus Plan is counted against the number of shares available for issuance on a 1.25:1.00 basis). On April 1, 2025, the Company entered into the Third Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of Blue Owl Capital Holdings in connection with the Internal Reorganization.

In addition to any awards that it may grant on an ongoing basis, Blue Owl expects to make grants pursuant to the 2021 Omnibus Plan under annual or year-end incentive programs, including grants of Incentive Units and RSUs pursuant to the 2021 Omnibus Plan to its executive officers on an annual basis on or around December or January of each year, including certain of its NEOs. Any Incentive Units or RSUs granted by Blue Owl under such programs generally will be subject to time vesting, and if the recipient’s employment or service is terminated by Blue Owl without cause or due to death or disability, the plan administrator has discretion to accelerate and vest any unvested Incentive Units or RSUs, as applicable, upon such termination, and, upon any other termination, any unvested Incentive Units or RSUs, as applicable, will be immediately terminated and forfeited for no consideration. Upon a Change in Control (as defined in the 2021 Omnibus Plan), the vesting of all or a portion of any unvested Incentive Units may be accelerated in the discretion of the plan administrator and the treatment of any unvested RSUs will be determined in accordance with the terms of the 2021 Omnibus Plan. Awards under such programs will generally vest over three to five years, subject to continued employment by, or service to, Blue Owl on each applicable vesting date. The Incentive Units will be settled by delivery of an equal number of Common Units of the Blue Owl Partnership and either Class C or Class D Shares of Blue Owl, as applicable, upon the vesting and liquidation of such Incentive Units, and the RSUs will be settled by delivery of an equal number of Class A Shares of Blue Owl. The Incentive Units or RSUs will be subject to other conditions set forth in the award agreement, such as, for the Incentive Units, specified minimum ownership terms and, for both Incentive Units and RSUs, compliance with the recipient’s applicable restrictive covenant obligations.

GP Stakes IV’s Investment in Owl Rock

Prior to the Business Combination, GP Stakes IV owned a 20% interest in Owl Rock and continues to own Blue Owl interests through Owl Rock Feeder issued in respect of such interests. One of Blue Owl’s controlled affiliates is the investment adviser to GP Stakes IV. The management fees payable by GP Stakes IV to its adviser, which today is a Blue Owl-controlled adviser, were established as part of the offering of interests in GP Stakes IV to its investors, and the calculation of such fees has not been modified because Blue Owl is both an investment of, and the adviser to, GP Stakes IV. The investment committee at GP Stakes IV includes Michael Rees. From time to time, GP Stakes IV may sell its interests in Blue Owl through registered offerings, open market sales or privately negotiated transactions.

Neuberger, certain employees of GP Strategic Capital, including Michael Rees, Andrew Polland and Jennifer Brouse, and certain employees of Neuberger, including Andrew Komaroff, are entitled to receive distributions of carried interest attributable to GP Stakes IV. Such carried interest distributions may include profits generated by the performance and liquidation of Blue Owl interests. As Blue Owl does not own carried interest in respect of GP Stakes IV, Blue Owl will not be entitled to receive any distributions of carried interest attributable to GP Stakes IV.

GP Stakes Investments in Acquired Entities

In September 2024, we acquired the business of Atalaya Capital Management LP (the “Atalaya Acquisition”), at which time an affiliate of Blue Owl GP Stakes II (“GP Stakes II”) owned 20% of the limited partnership interests in Atalaya Capital Management LP. Certain of our current and former officers and employees, including Michael Rees, Andrew Laurino and Sean Ward, as well as NB Alternative GP Holdings, an affiliate of Neuberger, directly or indirectly hold less than 2.5% of the limited partnership interests in GP Stakes II. In connection with the Atalaya Acquisition, approximately $113.2 million of consideration (as determined under GAAP at closing) was allocable to GP Stakes II. Neuberger, certain current and former

employees of GP Strategic Capital, including Michael Rees, Andrew Laurino and Sean Ward, and certain employees of Neuberger, including Andrew Komaroff, are entitled to receive distributions of carried interest attributable to GP Stakes II. We expect such carried interest distributions to include profits generated by the Atalaya Acquisition and the performance and liquidation of Blue Owl interests from the Atalaya Acquisition. As Blue Owl does not own carried interest in respect of GP Stakes II, Blue Owl will not be entitled to receive any distributions of carried interest from GP Stakes II.

In January 2025, we acquired the business of IPI Partners, LLC (the “IPI Acquisition”), a joint venture between an affiliate of ICONIQ Capital, LLC (“ICONIQ”) and an affiliate of Iron Point Partners. In addition, in connection with the IPI Acquisition, we entered into a services agreement with ICONIQ (the “Services Agreement”), pursuant to which ICONIQ will provide certain services, including investment analysis and investor relations services to us or our subsidiaries. At the time of the IPI Acquisition, each of GP Stakes IV and Blue Owl GP Stakes V (“GP Stakes V” and, together with GP Stakes IV, the “Funds”), had an interest in ICONIQ and expects to receive proceeds from ICONIQ’s sale of IPI Partners, LLC and amounts paid under the Services Agreement. Certain of our current and former directors and executive officers, including Michael Rees, Andrew Polland, Sean Ward, Marc Zahr, Neena Reddy, Jennifer Brouse, Andrew Laurino and Andrew Komaroff, directly or indirectly hold less than 1.1% of the limited partnership interests in one or both of the Funds. In connection with the IPI Acquisition, approximately $41.1 million of consideration (as determined under GAAP at closing) was allocable to the Funds. Neuberger, certain current and former employees of GP Strategic Capital, including Michael Rees, Jennifer Brouse, Andrew Laurino, Andrew Polland and Sean Ward, and certain employees of Neuberger, including Andrew Komaroff, are entitled to receive distributions of carried interest attributable to GP Stakes IV and GP Stakes V. We expect such carried interest distributions to include profits generated by the performance and liquidation of the IPI Acquisition and profits generated from the Services Agreement. As Blue Owl does not own carried interest in respect of GP Stakes IV or V, Blue Owl will not be entitled to receive any distributions of carried interest from GP Stakes IV or V.

Investments by Related Parties in our Funds

As of December 31, 2024, assets under management related to our executives and other employees totaled approximately $4.1 billion (including $2.2 billion related to accrued carried interest). A portion of these assets under management are not charged fees.

Our executive officers and directors have the opportunity to invest their own capital in products managed by us. These investments are generally on the same terms and conditions as third party investors, except that these investments generally are not subject to management fees or carried interest. These investment opportunities are also available to our senior professionals whom we have determined to have a status that reasonably permits us to offer them these types of investments in compliance with applicable laws. We encourage these persons to invest in the products managed by us because we believe that such investing further aligns their interests with those of the investors in our products and our firm.

In addition, our independent directors are permitted to participate in such investments up to a certain threshold, which the Board has determined will not compromise their independence.

During the year ended December 31, 2024, the following executive officers and directors invested their own capital in and alongside our funds (including amounts related to indirect investments made through pooled vehicles and excluding open market purchases): Mr. Ostrover invested an aggregate of $20,270,506; Mr. Lipschultz invested an aggregate of $16,855,816; Mr. Kirshenbaum invested an aggregate of $938,615; Ms. Brouse invested an aggregate of $480,375; Mr. Komaroff invested an aggregate of $50,008; Mr. Packer invested an aggregate of $5,414,625; Mr. Polland invested an aggregate of $270,514; Ms. Polley invested an aggregate of $129,919; Ms. Reddy invested an aggregate of $99,407; Mr. Rees invested an aggregate of $12,901,880; and Mr. Zahr invested an aggregate of $3,382,193.

Some of our products generate performance-based fees in the form of carried interest, to which we are typically entitled 15%. However, for products managed by businesses we acquire, including Dyal Capital Partners acquired in 2021, we generally do not acquire rights to carried interest from existing products, except for our Net Lease products, where we also obtained the rights to 15% of the carried interest. For certain acquired businesses, if a new product is formed to facilitate a secondary or related transaction (including any continuation fund or other new product primarily intended to acquire assets or interests in an existing product), any carried interest generated by such product may not be allocated to us, even if the secondary vehicle is formed in the future. Carried interest not allocated to us is allocated to entities not controlled by us, which are partially owned by certain executive officers and other current and former related parties of Blue Owl, including Messrs. Rees, Zahr, Polland, Ward, Laurino, Ms. Brouse, and entities affiliated with Neuberger.

Alex Solomon, brother-in-law of Marc Zahr, Director and Co-President of the Company, is an employee of, and receives compensation from the Company. Since 2023, Alex Solomon has served, and currently serves, as a Vice President.

Use of Private Aircraft

Blue Owl may make use of aircraft owned by its related parties for business purposes in the ordinary course of its operations and in accordance with any applicable travel policy. Blue Owl will reimburse such related parties for this use based on current market rates. The reimbursement may be recovered from a Blue Owl fund to the extent and in such amount that such reimbursement is eligible under such fund’s agreements and in accordance with applicable policies and procedures. Blue Owl will not bear any operating, personnel or maintenance costs associated with the aircraft. Personal use of the aircraft will not be charged to Blue Owl. The Company recorded expenses for aircraft reimbursements of $3.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2024, a portion of which was reimbursed by products managed by the Company.

Related Party Transaction Policy

Blue Owl’s Board adopted a written related party transaction policy that sets forth the following policies and procedures for the review and approval or ratification of related party transactions.

A “Related Party Transaction” is a transaction, arrangement or relationship, or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships, in which Blue Owl or any of its subsidiaries was, is or will be a participant, the amount of which involved exceeds $120,000 in any fiscal year, and in which any related party had, has or will have a direct or indirect material interest. In the future, our executive officers, other employees and directors may make similar investments in our products in the ordinary course.

A “Related Party” means:

•any person who is, or was (since the beginning of the last fiscal year for which Blue Owl has filed an Annual Report on Form 10-K and proxy statement, even if such person does not presently serve in that role), one of Blue Owl’s executive officers or a member, or nominee for director, of the Blue Owl Board;

•any person who is known by Blue Owl to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock;

•any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons, which means any child, stepchild, parent, stepparent, spouse, sibling, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law of a director, officer or a beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock, and any person (other than a tenant or employee) sharing the household of such director, executive officer or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our voting stock; any entity that is, directly or indirectly owned or controlled by any of the foregoing persons;

•any entity in which any of the foregoing persons serves as an executive officer or principal or in a similar position, or in the case of a partnership, serves as a general partner or holds any positions other than that of a limited partner;

•any firm, corporation or other entity in which any of the foregoing persons is a partner or principal or in a similar position or in which such person, or together with any of the foregoing persons, has a 10 percent (10%) or greater beneficial ownership interest; or

•an entity at which any of the foregoing persons above is employed if (a) the person is directly involved in the negotiation of the Related Party Transaction or will have or share primary responsibility at such entity for the

performance of the Related Party Transaction or (b) the person’s compensation from the entity is directly tied to the Related Party Transaction.

Blue Owl has policies and procedures designed to minimize potential conflicts of interest arising from any dealings it may have with its affiliates and to provide appropriate procedures for the disclosure of any real or potential conflicts of interest that may exist from time to time. For example, Blue Owl has a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that generally prohibits officers or directors of Blue Owl from engaging in any transaction where there is a conflict between such individual’s personal interest and the interests of Blue Owl. Waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics will generally only be obtained from the audit committee, or if for an executive officer, by the Board, and are publicly disclosed as required by applicable law and regulations. In addition, the audit committee will be required to review and approve all related-party transactions (as defined in Item 404 of Regulation S-K).

Indemnification

Upon the consummation of the Business Combination, we entered into indemnification agreements with each of the newly elected directors and newly appointed executive officers which provide that we will indemnify such directors and executive officers under the circumstances and to the extent provided for therein, from and against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, joint or several, expenses (including legal fees and expenses), judgments, fines, penalties, interest, settlements or other amounts arising from any and all threatened, pending or completed claim, demand, action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, and whether formal or informal, and including appeals, in which he or she may be involved, or is threatened to be involved, as a party or otherwise, to the fullest extent permitted under Delaware law and our amended and restated bylaws.

PROPOSAL 2: RATIFICATION OF SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The audit committee has the responsibility to approve the appointment of and compensation of the Company’s independent accounting firm that audits the Company’s financial statements. The audit committee has approved the appointment of KPMG as the independent registered public accounting firm for the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025.

Neither our amended and restated bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the selection of KPMG as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, the audit committee is submitting the selection of KPMG to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. If the stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the audit committee will reconsider whether or not to retain KPMG. Even if the selection is ratified, the audit committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if the audit committee determines that such a change would be in our and our stockholders’ best interests.

KPMG has advised the Company that neither the firm nor any present member or associate of it has any financial interest, direct or indirect, in the Company or its affiliates.

The Company expects that a representative of KPMG will be present at the Annual Meeting, will have an opportunity to make a statement if he or she so chooses and will be available to answer questions.

The Company engaged KPMG to act as its independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2024.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES

The following table sets forth the aggregate fees for professional services provided by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG, presenting separately the amounts related to the Company’s audit from the amounts related to the audits of the funds managed by the Company (such funds are not consolidated into the Company’s financial statements).


	For the Year Ended December 31,
	2024				2023
	The Company		Funds		The Company		Funds

Audit fees(1)	$	6,029,465	$	21,320,393	$	4,535,460	$	16,679,077
Audit-related fees(2)	87,075		—		11,500		—
Tax fees(3)	—		2,187,045		—		1,346,130
All other fees(4)	—		896,666		—		—
Total	$	6,116,540	$	24,404,104	$	4,546,960	$	18,025,207

(1)Audit fees consisted of fees for services related to the annual audits of our consolidated financial statements, reviews of our interim consolidated financial statements, SEC registration statements, accounting consultations and services that are normally provided in connection with statutory and regulatory filings and engagements.

(2)Audit-related fees consisted of fees related to financial due diligence services and attestation services.

(3)Tax fees consisted of fees related to tax compliance and tax advisory services.

(4)All other fees consisted of advisory services related to regulatory matters.

In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the audit committee has the responsibility to approve the appointment of and compensation of KPMG. All services reported for the Company in the audit fees, audit-related fees and tax fees above were approved by the audit committee. KPMG performed the services for the funds reported above for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, of which the audit committee was aware of and considered when determining the independence of KPMG.

Generally, the audit committee pre-approves all audit services and permitted non-audit services (including the fees and terms thereof) to be performed for the Company by its independent auditors. The audit committee may form and delegate authority to subcommittees consisting of one (1) or more members when appropriate, including the authority to grant pre-approvals of audit and permitted non-audit services, provided that decisions of such subcommittee to grant pre-approvals shall be presented to the full audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. Requests or applications to provide services that require separate approval by the audit committee are reviewed by the Chief Financial Officer and submitted to the audit committee by the independent auditor. Such submissions must be consistent with the SEC’s and the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board’s rules on auditor independence.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF KPMG AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR OUR FISCAL YEAR ENDING DECEMBER 31, 2025.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The audit committee is comprised of three independent directors and operates under a written charter adopted by the Board, a copy of which is available on the Governance page of our Investor Relations website located at ir.blueowl.com. The Board has determined that each of Ms. Holz, Polley and Weeks is independent as independence is defined under the applicable section of the NYSE rules, and that each of Ms. Holz, Polley and Weeks is independent as independence is defined under Rule 10A-3(b)(1) under the Exchange Act. The Board has also determined that Ms. Holz qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.”

The primary purposes of the audit committee are to assist the Board in its oversight of (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements, (iii) the qualifications and independence of our independent registered public accounting firm and (iv) the performance of our internal audit function and our independent registered public accounting firm. In addition, the audit committee may review and approve any related party transactions.

As noted above, the audit committee assists the Board in appointing our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, which includes, among other things, reviewing and evaluating the qualifications, performance and independence of the lead audit partner responsible for our audit, overseeing the required rotation of the lead audit partner and reviewing and considering the selection of the lead audit partner. In appointing KPMG LLP and the lead audit partner, the audit committee considered, among other things, the quality and efficiency of the services provided, including the results of a global internal survey of KPMG LLP’s performance, the technical capabilities of the engagement teams, external data concerning KPMG LLP’s audit quality and performance obtained from reports of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the engagement teams’ understanding of our Company’s business. The audit committee and the Board believe that the continued retention of KPMG LLP to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders and have recommended that stockholders ratify the appointment of KPMG LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025.

The audit committee discussed the auditors’ review of our quarterly financial information with the auditors prior to the release of such information and the filing of our quarterly reports with the SEC. The audit committee also met and held discussions with management and KPMG LLP with respect to our audited year-end financial statements.

Further, the audit committee discussed with KPMG LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 1301, Communications With Audit Committees, received the written disclosures and the letter from KPMG LLP required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence and discussed with the auditors the auditors’ independence. In determining KPMG LLP’s independence, the audit committee considered, among other things, whether KPMG LLP’s provision of audit and non-audit services, and the amount of fees paid for such services, were compatible with the independence of the independent registered public accountants. The audit committee also discussed with the auditors and our financial management matters related to our internal control over financial reporting. Based on these discussions and the written disclosures received from KPMG LLP, the audit committee recommended that the Board include the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, for filing with the SEC. The Board has approved this recommendation.

This audit committee report is not deemed filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, and is not incorporated by reference into any filings that we may make with the SEC.

PROPOSAL 3: ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION FOR FISCAL YEAR 2024

In accordance with Section 14A of the Exchange Act, which was added by the Dodd-Frank Act and the related SEC rules promulgated thereunder, we are providing our stockholders the opportunity to cast a non-binding advisory vote to approve the compensation of the NEOs for our 2024 fiscal year. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our stockholders the opportunity to express their views on the compensation of our NEOs.

As described in the “Executive Compensation” section of these proxy materials, the primary objectives of our executive compensation program are to: (1) establish a clear relationship between performance and compensation, (2) align the interests of our NEOs and other key employees with our fund investors and stockholders to maximize value and (3) provide competitive incentive compensation opportunities, with an appropriate balance between short-term and long-term incentives. The foregoing objectives are applicable to the compensation of our NEOs. We urge our stockholders to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section above and the compensation tables and narrative discussion included therein for more information.

We believe that our executive compensation program achieves these objectives by balancing multiple compensation elements, while keeping an appropriate portion of compensation “at risk,” which has enabled us to successfully motivate and reward the NEOs. We believe such program is appropriate in light of our overall compensation philosophy and objectives and has played an essential role in our continued growth and financial success by aligning the long-term interests of the NEOs with the long-term interests of our stockholders.

For these reasons, the Board recommends a vote in favor of the following resolution:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company's NEOs for the 2024 fiscal year, as disclosed pursuant to Item 402 of Regulation S-K, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, compensation tables and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon us. Notwithstanding the advisory nature of this vote, the Board values the opinions expressed by stockholders in their vote on this proposal, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our NEOs. Furthermore, stockholders are welcome to bring any specific concerns regarding executive compensation to the attention of the Board at any time throughout the year. Please refer to “Corporate Governance and Other Board Information–Communications to the Board of Directors” above for information about communicating with the Board.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes cast by our stockholders in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to approve this Proposal 3.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE FOR THE APPROVAL, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS, OF THE COMPENSATION OF THE NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS FOR THE 2024 FISCAL YEAR, AS DISCLOSED IN THESE PROXY MATERIALS.

PROPOSAL 4: ADVISORY VOTE ON FREQUENCY OF SAY-ON-PAY VOTE

We are seeking the input of our stockholders on the frequency with which we will hold a non-binding, advisory vote by our stockholders to approve the compensation of our NEOs (commonly known as a “say-on-frequency” vote). In voting on this Proposal 4, stockholders are provided with four choices: stockholders may indicate their preference as to whether the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the NEOs should occur once every three years, once every two years, once every year or stockholders may abstain from making a recommendation.

After careful consideration, it is the opinion of the Board that an advisory shareholder vote once every three years on the compensation of our NEOs is the most appropriate option for us. An advisory vote once every three years provides stockholders the opportunity to evaluate the Company’s compensation program on a more thorough, longer-term basis than an annual vote. Our Board believes an annual advisory vote would not allow for changes to the Company’s compensation program to be in place long enough to evaluate whether the changes were effective. An advisory vote once every three years encourages a longer-term view of compensation by our stockholders by allowing them to evaluate three years of compensation history and business results.

While the Board has determined that the say-on-pay vote shall be held once every three years, stockholders are voting to approve or disapprove of the Board’s determination. Stockholders are being provided with the opportunity to cast an advisory vote on this Proposal 4. As an advisory vote, the result of the vote is not binding. However, the Board values the opinions of our stockholders in their vote on this matter, and will consider the outcome of the vote when making a determination as to the frequency of future advisory votes to approve named executive compensation. Approval of the frequency of the vote on named executive compensation requires the favorable vote of a majority of the votes cast. To the extent that no alternative receives a majority of the votes cast, the Board will consider the alternative receiving the greatest number of votes (once every three years, once every two years or once every year) to be the resulting recommendation, on a non-binding advisory basis, of our stockholders.

THE BOARD RECOMMENDS THAT THE STOCKHOLDERS VOTE, ON A NON-BINDING ADVISORY BASIS; TO RECOMMEND HOLDING THE SAY-ON-PAY VOTE ONCE EVERY THREE YEARS.

STOCKHOLDER NOMINATIONS AND PROPOSALS FOR THE 2026 ANNUAL MEETING

Stockholders may present proper nominations of candidates for director or other proposals for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders by submitting such nominations or proposals in writing to the Secretary of the Company in a timely manner, calculated in the manner provided in Rule 14a-8(e) of the Exchange Act, applicable state law and the Organizational Documents.

Deadlines for Submitting Stockholder Proposals for Inclusion in the Company’s Proxy Statement and Proxy Card

To be considered timely under Rule 14a-8(e) of the Exchange Act for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for a regularly scheduled annual meeting, a stockholder’s proposal must be received at the Company’s principal executive offices not less than 120 calendar days before the anniversary of the date the Company’s proxy statement was released to stockholders for the previous year’s annual meeting. Accordingly, a stockholder’s proposal must be received no later than December 26, 2025, in order to be included in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2026 Annual Meeting.

Deadlines for Submitting Notice of Stockholder Proposals for Consideration at the Company’s Annual Meeting

In order to timely submit notice of a stockholder’s nomination of a candidate for director or other proposal for consideration at the 2026 Annual Meeting, under our amended and restated bylaws, the stockholder must deliver such proposal not less than 90 days nor more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the preceding year’s annual meeting; provided, however, that in the event that the date of the Annual Meeting is advanced by more than 30 days, or delayed by more than 70 days, from the anniversary date of the previous year’s meeting, or if no annual meeting was held in the preceding year, notice by the stockholder must be so delivered not earlier than 120 days prior to such annual meeting and not later than the close of business on the later of the 90th day prior to such annual meeting or the 10th day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Accordingly, a stockholder’s nomination of a candidate for director or other proposal must be received no earlier than February 9, 2026, and no later than the close of business on March 11, 2026, in order to be considered at the 2026 Annual Meeting. In order to be considered timely, such notice shall be delivered to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the Company and shall set forth all information required under Section 2.12 of Article II of our amended and restated bylaws.

In addition to satisfying the requirements of our amended and restated bylaws, including the notice deadlines set forth above and therein, to comply with the universal proxy rules, stockholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees, other than the Company’s nominees, must also comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act.

ANNUAL REPORT AVAILABLE

A copy of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, containing audited financial statements accompanies this proxy statement.

Along with this proxy statement, the Company will provide to each stockholder a copy (without exhibits, unless otherwise requested) of its Annual Report on Form 10-K required to be filed with the SEC for the year ended December 31, 2024, free of charge upon written or oral request to the Investor Relations Department at Blue Owl Capital Inc., 399 Park Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10022, Telephone: (212) 419-3000. Copies of these documents may also be accessed electronically by means of the SEC’s home page on the Internet at www.sec.gov.

HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS

The SEC has adopted rules that permit companies and intermediaries (e.g., brokers) to satisfy the delivery requirements for proxy statements and annual reports with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single proxy statement and annual report addressed to those stockholders. This process, which is commonly referred to as “householding,” potentially means extra convenience for stockholders and cost savings for companies.

This year a number of brokers with account holders who are the Company’s stockholders will be “householding” the Company’s proxy materials. A single proxy statement will be delivered to multiple stockholders sharing an address unless contrary instructions have been received from the affected stockholders. If you have received notice from your broker that it will be “householding” communications to your address, “householding” will continue until you are notified otherwise or until you revoke your consent. We will promptly deliver a separate copy of these documents to you upon written or oral request to the Company’s Investor Relations Department at Blue Owl Capital Inc., 399 Park Avenue, 37th Floor, New York, NY 10022, Telephone: (212) 419-3000. If, at any time, you no longer wish to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate proxy statement and annual report, please notify your broker. Stockholders who currently receive multiple copies of the proxy statement and annual report at their addresses and would like to request “householding” of their communications should contact their brokers.

Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 9, 2025: The Notice of Annual Meeting, Proxy Statement and Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, are available at www.proxyvote.com.

COST OF PROXY STATEMENT

We will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies on behalf of the Board. In addition to the use of the mail, proxies may be solicited by us personally, by telephone, or by similar means. None of our directors, officers, or employees will be specifically compensated for those activities. We do not expect to pay any compensation for the solicitation of proxies. However, we will reimburse brokerage firms, custodians, nominees, fiduciaries, and other persons holding our shares in their names, or in the names of nominees, at approved rates for their reasonable expenses in forwarding proxy materials to beneficial owners of securities held of record by them and obtaining their proxies.

OTHER MATTERS

Interest of Certain Persons in Matters to be Acted Upon

Other than for any interest arising from (i) the ownership of our common stock or (ii) any nominee’s election to office, we are not aware of any substantial interest of any director, executive officer, nominee for election as a director or associate of any of the foregoing in any matter to be acted upon at the Annual Meeting.

Other Matters to be Presented for Action at the Meeting

The Board is not aware of any other matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. Should any other matter requiring a vote of stockholders properly arise, it is the intention of the persons named in the proxy to vote in accordance with their discretion on such matters.
