SINGLE SOURCE
The provided web search results mention Saba Capital launching tender offers for Blue Owl BDCs, but none of the snippets directly quote or confirm the specific statement that the offers came in 'below initial expectations.'

“In early March, the hedge fund Saba offered liquidity to locked-up investors in Blue Owl Capital Corporation II (OBDC II), a non-traded private-credit fund, at a 35% discount.”
SINGLE SOURCE
The web search results provide general information about Saba Capital and Blue Owl, and one snippet mentions a 35% discount related to a tender offer for OBDC II. However, the evidence is not sufficient to confirm the specific timing ('early March') or the exact nature of the liquidity offering as described in the claim, as the search results are general or lack the necessary context.
