On September 16, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Core Income Funding I LLC (“Core Income Funding I”), a Delaware limited liability company and newly formed subsidiary of Owl Rock Core Income Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company” or “us”), entered into a Credit Agreement (the “Secured Credit Facility”), with Core Income Funding I LLC, as Borrower, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Natixis, New York Branch, as Administrative Agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company as Collateral Agent and Alter Domus (US) LLC as Document Custodian.

From time to time, the Company expects to sell and contribute certain investments to Core Income Funding I pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and Core Income Funding I. No gain or loss will be recognized as a result of the contribution. Proceeds from the Secured Credit Facility will be used to finance the origination and acquisition of eligible assets by Core Income Funding I, including the purchase of such assets from the Company. The Company retains a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by Core Income Funding I through its ownership of Core Income Funding I. The maximum principal amount of the Credit Facility is $300 million; the availability of this amount is subject to an overcollateralization ratio test, which is based on the value of Core Income Funding I’s assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including an interest coverage ratio test, certain concentration limits and collateral quality tests.

The Secured Credit Facility provides for the ability to (1) draw term loans and (2) draw and redraw revolving loans under the Secured Credit Facility for a period of up to two years after the Closing Date unless the revolving commitments are terminated or converted to term loans sooner as provided in the Secured Credit Facility (the “Commitment Termination Date”). Unless otherwise terminated, the Secured Credit Facility will mature on September 16, 2031 (the “Stated Maturity”). Prior to the Stated Maturity, proceeds received by Core Income Funding I from principal and interest, dividends, or fees on assets must be used to pay fees, expenses and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to the Company, subject to certain conditions. On the Stated Maturity, Core Income Funding I must pay in full all outstanding fees and expenses and all principal and interest on outstanding borrowings, and the excess may be returned to the Company.

Amounts drawn bear interest at LIBOR (or, in the case of certain lenders that are commercial paper conduits, the lower of their cost of funds and LIBOR plus 0.25%) plus an applicable margin that ranges from 1.55% to 2.15% depending on a ratio of broadly syndicated loans to middle market loans in the collateral. From the Closing Date to the Commitment Termination Date, there is a commitment fee that steps up during the year after the Closing Date from 0.00% to 0.625% per annum on the undrawn amount, if any, of the revolving commitments in the Secured Credit Facility. The Secured Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including certain financial maintenance covenants, limitations on the activities of Core Income Funding I, including limitations on incurrence of incremental indebtedness, and customary events of default. The Secured Credit Facility is secured by a perfected first priority security interest in the assets of Core Income Funding I and on any payments received by Core Income Funding I in respect of those assets. Assets pledged to the Lenders will not be available to pay the debts of the Company.

Borrowings of Core Income Funding I are considered the Company’s borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the 1940 Act.

The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Secured Credit Facility and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreements which are filed as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 to this current report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.

As of September 17, 2021, the Company had $150.0 million outstanding under the Secured Credit Facility.

The information set forth under Item 1.01 above is incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
