Why It Matters
The vote confirms the company’s governance slate and secures these directors for three-year terms, providing continuity on the board through 2029. Ratification of KPMG as auditor establishes the firm responsible for auditing Blue Owl’s 2026 financial statements. The outsized voting power of Class D shares (about 80% of votes) is a notable governance feature that influenced the election outcomes.
