Market Dynamics
Business development companies such as Blue Owl Capital Corporation distribute most of their taxable income to shareholders under the Investment Company Act of 1940, and this declaration follows that routine quarterly pattern. The supplemental distribution tied to third-quarter earnings adds a variable component on top of the base payout.
Shareholders of record on Nov. 30 receive the $0.01 supplemental dividend, and those of record on Dec. 31 receive the $0.31 base dividend. Holders should note these two separate record dates when planning cash-flow timing.
The takeaway
Investors who hold shares must own them by the relevant record dates to receive each payment, so the Nov. 30 and Dec. 31 cutoffs matter more than the declaration date. Checking the record dates against a brokerage calendar helps avoid missing a distribution.

The supplemental dividend is payable on or before Dec. 15, 2026, and the base dividend is payable on or before Jan. 15, 2027.
