Funds Managed by Blue Owl Capital Complete $91.7M Sale-Leaseback Transaction with Trustmark

Acquiring Portfolio of 34 Bank Branches from Investment Grade Counterparty

NEW YORK, Sept. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Blue Owl Capital Inc. (NYSE: OWL) ("Blue Owl"), a leading alternative asset manager, today announced that funds managed by its Real Assets platform have completed the acquisition of 34 bank branch properties owned by Trustmark Corporation ("Trustmark").

The transaction expands Blue Owl Real Assets' portfolio of net lease properties with a diversified collection of bank branches across Mississippi, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama, and Texas. Concurrent with the acquisition, Trustmark entered into long-term, triple net leases for all 34 properties, providing Blue Owl with contractual rental income backed by an established financial institution.

This transaction builds on Blue Owl's deep expertise executing bank branch sale-leasebacks with quality counterparties. Trustmark carries an investment grade credit rating of BBB+ from S&P and benefits from a stable deposit base, consistent core profitability, and sound asset quality.

"Banks today are looking at their balance sheets through a much more strategic lens, and transactions like this demonstrate how institutions can unlock value from their real estate while simultaneously optimizing other parts of the balance sheet," said Marc Zahr, Co-President of Blue Owl and Global Head of Real Assets. "We believe that combination can be particularly compelling for banks evaluating how to put capital to work more efficiently in today's rate environment."

"One of Trustmark's primary goals, always, is to maximize the efficiency of our capital. Working with Blue Owl has allowed us to transform static brick-and-mortar equity into dynamic balance sheet strength," commented Duane Dewey, Trustmark's Chief Executive Officer. "By strategically matching the capital gains from these properties against our portfolio restructuring, we have strengthened our net interest margin and better positioned the company's balance sheet for the future, all with no disruption to our localized customer experience."

Each lease has an initial term of 15 years, with three consecutive five-year renewal options.
