Item 8.01.   Other Events.

 

On September 16, 2020, Owl Rock Technology Finance Corp. (the “Company”) and Owl Rock Technology Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), on the one hand, entered into a Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, and RBC Capital Markets, LLC, as representatives of the several initial purchasers listed on Schedule 1 thereto (the “Initial Purchasers”), on the other hand, which Purchase Agreement relates to the Company’s sale of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.75% notes due 2025 (the “Notes”) to the Initial Purchasers in a private placement in reliance on Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and for initial resale by the Initial Purchasers to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to the exemption from registration provided by Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act. The Company is relying upon these exemptions from registration based in part on representations made by the Initial Purchasers. The Purchase Agreement also includes customary representations, warranties and covenants by the Company. Under the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify the Initial Purchasers against certain liabilities under the Securities Act. The Notes will not be registered under the Securities Act and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from registration.

 

The closing of the private placement is expected to occur on September 23, 2020, subject to customary closing conditions. The Company intends to use the net proceeds to pay down a portion of its outstanding indebtedness.
