A team of Pillsbury lawyers advised longtime client Prima Capital Advisors in its acquisition by Blue Owl Capital Inc., a leading alternative asset manager, for aggregate consideration in the amount of $170 million. The transaction expands and diversifies Blue Owl’s Real Estate Finance platform.
Founded in 1992 by Gregory White, Prima manages approximately $10 billion in assets on behalf of institutional investors and select high net worth individuals—capitalizing on investment in commercial mortgages and mortgage-backed securities.
Blue Owl’s acquisition of Prima is expected to close in the second or third quarter of 2024 and will be funded through a combination of approximately $157 million of equity and approximately $13 million in cash, with a potential future earn-out of up to $35 million. Upon the closing of the acquisition, Prima's management and employees are expected to join Blue Owl.
