Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. Announces Partial Early Lock-Up Release

On September 3, 2025, Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp. (NYSE: OTF) made a significant announcement for its shareholders regarding the early lock-up period of its shares. Effective September 9, 2025, approximately 10% of each shareholder’s shares of the Company's common stock will be unlocked, allowing them to become freely tradeable.

This move affects a total of 46,513,271 shares prior to the expiration of the initial lock-up period, which is set at 180 days following the company's listing. However, it is essential to note that this early release does not apply to shares that are still subject to the second and third lock-up periods, which conclude at 270 and 365 days, respectively.

Implications for Investors

Craig W. Packer, the Chief Executive Officer of Blue Owl Technology Finance Corp., expressed his thoughts on this development, stating, "OTF's listing earlier this year brought the largest technology-focused BDC to the public market. We believe the early lock-up release will enhance liquidity, broaden investor participation, and attract interest in our innovative technology strategy."

Packer also highlighted the company’s optimism for future growth, mentioning OTF's strong financial performance along with the previously announced five special dividends and an ongoing repurchase program, projecting support for the company's long-term success.

Upcoming Release Schedule

With the partial early lock-up release, shares still subject to transfer restrictions will be gradually released according to the following timeline:

• - September 9, 2025: 10%
• - December 9, 2025: 22%
• - March 9, 2026: 32%
• - June 12, 2026: 32%

This structured release aims to increase liquidity in the market while ensuring a methodical approach to share transactions.
