10:42 AM EST, 11/24/2025 (MT Newswires) -- Blue Owl Capital (OWL) is weighing whether to revive a shelved plan to merge two of its private credit funds if the share price of the larger vehicle strengthens, Reuters reported Sunday, citing two people familiar with the situation.

The alternative asset manager abandoned the proposed combination of its publicly traded OBDC fund and Blue Owl Capital Corporation II last week, following an investor backlash over the proposed terms, the report said.

No decisions have been made and the timing of any renewed effort remains unclear, the people told Reuters.

In a statement to Reuters, Blue Owl Co-President Craig Packer denied the firm was preparing to revisit the merger, according to the report.

Blue Owl didn't immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
