Item 5.07.

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On May 18, 2021, Altimar Acquisition Corporation (the “Company” or “Altimar”) convened the extraordinary meeting of Altimar (the “Special Meeting”) held in connection with the Company’s previously announced business combination (the “Business Combination”) with Owl Rock Capital Group and Dyal Capital Partners to form Blue Owl Capital Inc. pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020 (as amended, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Business Combination Agreement, each proposal voted on at the Special Meeting is described in greater detail in the Company’s definitive proxy statement/prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on May 3, 2021 and mailed to shareholders on May 4, 2021.

As of the close of business on April 23, 2021, the record date for the Special Meeting, there were an aggregate of 27,500,000 shares of Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, and 6,875,000 shares of Class B ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share (together, the “ordinary shares”), outstanding, each of which was entitled to one vote at the Special Meeting with respect to any adjournments or postponements of the Special Meeting. A total of 23,694,688 ordinary shares, representing approximately 68.93% of the outstanding ordinary shares entitled to vote, were present virtually or by proxy, constituting a quorum.

The voting results for the proposals voted on at the Special Meeting are set forth below.

1. The Business Combination Proposal – To approve by ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law and adopt the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of December 23, 2020, as amended from time to time, by and among Altimar, Owl Rock Capital Group LLC, Owl Rock Capital Feeder LLC, Owl Rock Capital Partners LP and Neuberger Berman Group LLC and the transactions contemplated thereby. Upon consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, including the Domestication (as defined below), the businesses of Owl Rock and Dyal described in the following sentence will be held by two newly organized Delaware limited partnerships, Blue Owl Holdings and Blue Owl Carry, of which a newly formed wholly owned subsidiary of Blue Owl, Blue Owl GP, will be the sole general partner. Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things, (a) Blue Owl Holdings will acquire (i) Owl Rock’s business and operations (the “Owl Rock Business”) of sponsoring, offering and managing all existing and future Owl Rock funds and (ii) Dyal, including the business and operations related to sponsoring, offering and managing the existing and future Dyal funds and any successor fund thereof and Dyal’s business services platform (collectively, the “Dyal Business”) (subject to, in each case, interests representing Specified Interests (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus)), and Blue Owl and Blue Owl Holdings will become responsible for all liabilities and obligations related to the Owl Rock Business and the Dyal Business except as specifically described in the proxy statement/prospectus; and (b) Blue Owl Carry will acquire 15% of the carried interest, incentive fees and any other incentive-based allocations or fees (net of certain investor and third-party arrangements) arising in respect of all existing and future Owl Rock and Dyal funds, except that 100% of the fees (net of certain investor and third-party arrangements) from the Owl Rock BDCs are being contributed to Blue Owl Holdings as described above. Certain of these amounts to be acquired by Blue Owl Carry may instead be acquired and/or held by Blue Owl Holdings. Blue Owl will not acquire any portion of the carried interest attributable to the Dyal Equity Funds (as defined in the proxy statement/prospectus) or any portion of the carried interest attributable to existing or future co-investments or secondary transactions related to the Dyal Equity Funds. For clarity, a secondary-transaction vehicle related to a Dyal Equity Fund includes any continuation fund or other fund whose primarily purpose is to acquire directly or indirectly all or a portion of the assets of, or interests in, such fund (such proposal, the “Business Combination Proposal”).

Forward Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this Current Report on Form 8-K, and oral statements made from time to time by representatives of Altimar are “forward looking statements” within the meaning of the “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Statements regarding the proposed business combination and expectations regarding the combined business are “forward looking statements.” In addition, words such as “estimates,” “projects,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “forecasts,” “plans,” “intends,” “believes,” “seeks,” “may,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “future,” “propose,” “target,” “goal,” “objective,” “outlook” and variations of these words or similar expressions (or the negative versions of such words or expressions) are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance, conditions or results, and involve a number of known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and other important factors, many of which are outside Altimar’s control, that could cause actual results or outcomes to differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Important factors, among others, that may affect actual results or outcomes include: the inability of Altimar to complete the contemplated transactions with Owl Rock and Dyal; the inability to recognize the anticipated benefits of the proposed business combination, which may be affected by, among other things, the amount of funds available in Altimar’s trust account following any redemptions by Altimar’s shareholders; changes in general economic conditions, including as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic; the outcome of litigation related to or arising out of the proposed business combination, or any adverse developments therein or delays or costs resulting therefrom; the ability to meet the New York Stock Exchange’s listing standards following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the proposed business combination; costs related to the proposed business combination; those factors discussed in Altimar’s annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2021 and as amended on April 22, 2021, under the heading “Risk Factors,”; those factors discussed in the proxy statement under the heading “Risk Factors” and other documents of Altimar filed, or to be filed, with the SEC.
