Class action allegations
The filed complaint alleges that Blue Owl and certain executives made materially false and misleading statements and omissions during the class period regarding the company’s business and liquidity, particularly as related to its business development companies (BDCs). Specifically, defendants allegedly failed to disclose:
- Significant pressure on Blue Owl’s asset base due to BDC redemptions.
- Resulting undisclosed liquidity constraints.
- The likelihood that redemptions at certain BDCs would be limited or halted.
- Those optimistic public statements about the company’s operations and prospects lacked a reasonable basis considering these issues.
