Blue Owl (OWL) Co‑President Marc Zahr Receives 788,882 Share Award

What Happened
Marc Zahr, Co‑President and Director of Blue Owl Capital Inc. (OWL), was granted 788,882 shares (reported as an award, Code A) on 2026-05-07 at $0.00 (no cash paid). The filing also reports a corresponding derivative award of 788,882 reflecting incentive/management vehicle units that convert into Common Units of Blue Owl Capital Holdings LP and Class C common stock under the company’s omnibus equity incentive plan.

Key Details

  • Transaction date: 2026-05-07; Form 4 filed: 2026-05-08 (timely).
  • Grant type/code: A = Award/Grant; price reported $0.00; total reported value $0.
  • Shares reported acquired: 788,882 shares and 788,882 related derivative units.
  • Shares owned after transaction: per footnotes, the reporting person’s beneficial holdings total 10,357,458 Blue Owl Operating Group Units and an equal number of Class C Shares (combined holdings reflected in footnote detail).
  • Notable footnotes: Incentive Units are fully vested at grant but subject to a one‑year lock‑up (F1–F2). Incentive Units settle into Operating Group Units and Class C Shares after certain capital thresholds; Operating Group Units may later be exchanged for newly issued Class A shares (or cash at an exchange committee’s election) once lock‑up/cancellation conditions are met (F2, F5).
  • Transaction not a sale—this is a grant/award (not a market purchase or sale), so it does not signal an immediate cash investment or divestment.

Context
These entries reflect equity incentives issued/allocated through Blue Owl’s management vehicle structure rather than an open‑market purchase. The awards are vested but locked for one year and convert through a multi‑step process into operating units and Class C shares, which may later be exchanged for Class A shares (or cash) under plan terms. For retail investors, grants are informational (compensation/retention), not direct buys or sells indicating near‑term market action.
