Blue Owl Faces Securities Class Action as Law Firms Court Investors Before Feb. 2 Deadline
Law firms cite alleged undisclosed liquidity strain from BDC redemptions, urging investors to act before the lead-plaintiff deadline.
Overview
- A federal securities class action has been filed on behalf of purchasers of Blue Owl Capital securities during February 6 to November 16, 2025.
- Complaints allege the company failed to disclose pressure from BDC redemptions that created liquidity issues and a likelihood of limiting or halting certain redemptions, rendering prior statements misleading; these claims are unproven.
- Investors have until February 2, 2026 to seek appointment as lead plaintiff, with Johnson Fistel, Rosen Law, Glancy Prongay & Murray, Wolf Haldenstein, and Bragar Eagel & Squire soliciting interested shareholders.
- Notices link share declines to late-2025 events, including a Q3 earnings miss, an OBDC–OBDC II merger proposal with tender limits, a Financial Times report on potential losses and redemption curbs, and the merger’s termination.
- Kuehn Law reports a separate investigation into potential fiduciary-duty breaches by certain Blue Owl officers and directors.
