Blue Owl Investors Face Feb. 2 Deadline to Seek Lead Role in Securities Suit

Overview

• Multiple national securities law firms are recruiting investors to move for lead-plaintiff appointment by February 2, 2026 under the PSLRA.
• The putative class covers purchases of Blue Owl securities from February 6, 2025 through November 16, 2025, with claims brought under Sections 10(b), 20(a), and Rule 10b-5.
• Complaints cite a November 16 Financial Times report that OBDC II investors were blocked from redemptions ahead of a proposed merger that could impose roughly a 20% haircut, followed by a stock drop on November 17.
• Filings link earlier share declines to Blue Owl’s October 30 earnings miss and a November 5 announcement that OBDC II did not anticipate further tenders before the planned merger.
• No class has been certified, and investors may seek lead-plaintiff status or remain absent class members, with participation not requiring service as lead plaintiff.
