Blue Owl Capital<\/em><\/p>\n

Blue Owl Capital Inc. (“Blue Owl”) (NYSE:\u00a0OWL<\/a>), a leading alternative asset manager, announced today it has entered into a definitive agreement to acquire the business of alternative credit manager Atalaya Capital Management LP (“Atalaya”) for\u00a0$450 million<\/span>. The acquisition is expected to close in the second half of 2024, subject to customary closing conditions, and is expected to be modestly accretive to Blue Owl in 2025.<\/p>\n

Atalaya focuses primarily on asset-based credit investments across consumer and commercial finance, corporate and real estate assets, and managed over\u00a0$10 billion<\/span>\u00a0of AUM as of\u00a0June 30, 2024<\/span>. Since inception, Atalaya has deployed over\u00a0$17 billion<\/span>\u00a0of capital with nearly 70 percent of deal flow sourced directly through asset owners, originators or joint venture partners. Atalaya was founded in 2006 by\u00a0Ivan Zinn<\/span>, who serves as Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer. Mr. Zinn will join Blue Owl as Head of Alternative Credit and will report to\u00a0Craig Packer<\/span>, Head of Credit and Co-President of Blue Owl. Atalaya is based in\u00a0New York<\/span>\u00a0and has approximately 115 employees, including over 50 investment professionals. Upon closing of the acquisition, most of Atalaya’s employees are expected to join Blue Owl and will continue to manage existing Atalaya funds.<\/p>\n

The closing purchase price of\u00a0$450 million<\/span>\u00a0is comprised of\u00a0$350 million<\/span>\u00a0of Blue Owl equity and\u00a0$100 million<\/span>\u00a0of cash. In addition, there is potential for up to\u00a0$350 million<\/span>\u00a0of earnout consideration in the form of equity, subject to certain adjustments and achievement of future revenue targets.<\/p>\n

Blue Owl’s Co-CEOs\u00a0Doug Ostrover<\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0Marc Lipschultz<\/span>\u00a0said: “The acquisition of Atalaya adds adjacent and scaled alternative credit capabilities that complement Blue Owl’s leading position in direct lending. Atalaya was an early pioneer in private asset-based finance. They have created a robust business with highly differentiated sourcing and underwriting expertise and have demonstrated a strong track record across market cycles. Atalaya significantly expands Blue Owl’s alternative credit offerings and delivers a more robust suite of financing solutions to our stakeholders.”<\/p>\n

Ivan Zinn<\/span>\u00a0said, “We view Blue Owl as an ideal strategic partner to support the next stage of our growth. We are proud of the exceptional track record we built over nearly two decades and are incredibly grateful to our investors, team and partners who made this journey possible. We look forward to continuing to drive forward at the leading edge of alternative credit as part of Blue Owl.”<\/p>\n
