Blue Owl Capital Inc. Co-chief executive officers Doug Ostrover and Marc Lipschultz have removed their company’s shares as collateral for personal loans, according to a filing made on April 17, 2026.
The change follows prior disclosures that the executives had pledged a combined $1.9 billion stake in Blue Owl as security for personal borrowing arrangements, a practice that drew scrutiny after the company’s stock price declined.
Company filings show that Ostrover and Lipschultz retained the ability to provide alternative forms of collateral for their loans after removing Blue Owl shares from the arrangements.
Blue Owl had previously warned investors that a sustained drop in its share price could trigger margin calls tied to the executives’ loan collateral, potentially forcing the sale of shares and further pressuring the stock.
The revision of loan terms comes amid broader market concerns about the valuation of alternative asset managers and the performance of publicly traded private equity and credit firms.
As of the filing date, neither Ostrover nor Lipschultz had indicated plans to increase their personal borrowing or alter their compensation structures related to the loan adjustments.
