Update: Market Chatter: Blue Owl Could See Junior Loan to Loparex Wiped Out in Restructuring Deal With Monarch

12:40 PM EDT, 09/23/2026 (MT Newswires) -- (Updates with statement from Blue Owl in fifth paragraph.) Blue Owl Capital (OWL) could see its junior loan to Loparex wiped out as Monarch Alternative Capital and General Atlantic lead a roughly $1 billion restructuring that will see them own a majority of the business, Bloomberg reported Wednesday, citing sources with knowledge of the matter. The deal will also shed more than $400 million of liabilities from Loparex's balance sheet by exchanging about half of its first-lien debt for equity. Blue Owl will receive a small portion of the equity, the sources said, according to the news outlet. Monarch and General Atlantic bought into Loparex's first-lien debt earlier this year when the loan was trading at distressed levels, the report added. In a statement sent to MT Newswires, Blue Owl said that Loparex was an isolated credit situation and not representative of its broader portfolio. "Credit performance across our direct lending platform remains strong with non-accruals near 1% at cost, limited realized losses, and a since-inception loss rate of just 12 basis points," a Blue Owl spokesperson said. General Atlantic declined to comment, while the other companies did not immediately reply to a request for comment from MT Newswires.
