NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Owl Rock Capital Corporation (NYSE: ORCC, or the “Company”) today reported net investment income of $119.6 million, or $0.42 per share, and net income of $124.7 million, or $0.44 per share, for the second quarter ended June 30, 2019. Reported net asset value per share was $15.28 at June 30, 2019 as compared to $15.26 at March 31, 2019. Annualized return on equity (ROE) for the second quarter 2019 was 11.0% and 11.5% on a net investment income and a net income basis, respectively. Annualized ROE for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was 12.1% on a net income basis.
The Company announced that its Board of Directors has declared a second quarter 2019 dividend of $0.44 per share for stockholders of record as of June 14, 2019, payable on or before August 15, 2019. The Company’s Board of Directors also declared a third quarter 2019 base dividend of $0.31 per share and a special dividend of $0.02 per share for stockholders of record as of September 30, 2019, payable on or before November 15, 2019.
On July 7, 2019, the Board of Directors approved the Company 10b5-1 Plan, to acquire up to $150 million in the aggregate of the Company’s common stock at prices below net asset value per share over a specified period, in accordance with the guidelines specified in Rule 10b-18 and Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act. The Company put the Company 10b5-1 Plan in place because it believes that it is in the best interest of the Company’s shareholders for the Company to reinvest in its portfolio.
The Company agent will repurchase shares of common stock on the Company’s behalf when the market price per share is below the most recently reported net asset value per share. This corresponds to a market price of $15.27 based on June 30, 2019 NAV per share of $15.28. The Company 10b5-1 Plan will commence August 19, 2019 and terminate upon the earliest to occur of (i) February 19, 2021 or (ii) such time as the approved $150 million repurchase amount has been fully utilized, subject to certain conditions.
