Owl Rock Capital Corporation ORCC announced that the company is rebranding itself by changing its name, website and ticker. No shareholder vote will take place related to the name changes. The board of directors of ORCC has approved the rebranding.
Owl Rock Capital will be renamed to Blue Owl Capital Corporation, effective Jul 6, 2023. Its ticker symbol will be changed to OBDC from ORCC. The specialty finance company will have a new website: www.blueowlcapitalcorporation.com. The company expects the name change to not affect its day-to-day business.
