Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On October 5, 2021 (the “Closing Date”), Core Income Funding II LLC (“Core Income Funding II”), a Delaware limited liability company and newly formed subsidiary of Owl Rock Core Income Corp., a Maryland corporation (the “Company”, “we” or “us”), entered into a loan financing and servicing agreement (the “Secured Credit Facility”), with Core Income Funding II, as borrower, the Company, as equityholder and services provider, the lenders from time to time parties thereto (the “Lenders”), Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, as Facility Agent, State Street Bank and Trust Company, as Collateral Agent and Alter Domus (US) LLC, as Collateral Custodian.
From time to time, the Company expects to sell and contribute certain loan assets to Core Income Funding II pursuant to a Sale and Contribution Agreement by and between the Company and Core Income Funding II. 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 II, including the purchase of such assets from the Company. We retain a residual interest in assets contributed to or acquired by Core Income Funding II through our ownership of Core Income Funding II. The maximum principal amount of the Secured Credit Facility is $500 million; the availability of this amount is subject to a borrowing base test, which is based on the value of Core Income Funding II’s assets from time to time, and satisfaction of certain conditions, including interest spread and weighted average coupon tests, certain concentration limits and collateral quality tests.
The Secured Credit Facility provides for the ability to borrow, reborrow, repay and prepay advances under the Secured Credit Facility for a period of up to three years after the Closing Date unless such period is extended or accelerated under the terms of the Secured Credit Facility (the “Revolving Period”). Unless otherwise extended, accelerated or terminated under the terms of the Secured Credit Facility, the Secured Credit Facility will mature on the date that is two years after the last day of the Revolving Period (the “Facility Termination Date”). Prior to the Facility Termination Date, proceeds received by Core Income Funding II from principal and interest, dividends, or fees on assets must be used to pay fees, expenses and interest on outstanding advances, and the excess may be returned to the Company, subject to certain conditions. On the Facility Termination Date, Core Income Funding II must pay in full all outstanding fees and expenses and all principal and interest on outstanding advances, 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 (a) their cost of funds and (b) LIBOR, such LIBOR not to be lower than zero) plus a spread equal to 2.00% per annum, which spread will increase (a) on and after the end of the Revolving Period by 0.15% per annum if no event of default has occurred and (b) by 2.00% per annum upon the occurrence of an event of default (such spread, the “Applicable Margin”). LIBOR may be replaced as a base rate under certain circumstances. During the Revolving Period, Core Income Funding II will pay an undrawn fee ranging from 0.00% to 0.25% per annum on the undrawn amount, if any, of the revolving commitments in the Secured Credit Facility. During the Revolving Period, if the undrawn commitments are in excess of a certain portion (initially 12.5% and increasing in stages to 25%, 50% and 75%) of the total commitments under the Secured Facility, Core Income Funding II will also pay a make-whole fee equal to the Applicable Margin multiplied by such excess undrawn commitment amount, reduced by the undrawn fee payable on such excess. Core Income Funding II will also pay Deutsche Bank AG, New York Branch, certain fees (and reimburse certain expenses) in connection with its role as facility agent. The Secured Credit Facility contains customary covenants, including certain financial maintenance covenants, limitations on the activities of Core Income Funding II, 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 II and on any payments received by Core Income Funding II 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 II are considered the Company’s borrowings for purposes of complying with the asset coverage requirements under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
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.
