New Director Appointment
On March 28, 2022, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM”) (i) voted to increase the size of the Board to seventeen (17) directors, (ii) appointed Jessica Bibliowicz to fill the resulting vacancy, and (iii) appointed Ms. Bibliowicz to the Audit Committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”). Ms. Bibliowicz’s appointments to the Board and the Audit Committee are expected to be effective as of March 31, 2022.
The Board has determined that Ms. Bibliowicz qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined by Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K, and as an independent director that is financially literate and has accounting and related financial management expertise as required by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.
There are no actual or proposed transactions between Ms. Bibliowicz or any of her related persons and AGM that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
For her services as an independent director of the Board and member of the Audit Committee, Ms. Bibliowicz will be entitled to compensation in accordance with the independent director compensation and committee member compensation outlined under the caption “Director Compensation” in Item 5.02 of AGM’s Current Report on Form 8-K12B, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 3, 2022 (the “AGM 8-K12B”).
It is anticipated that Ms. Bibliowicz will enter into a standard indemnification agreement with AGM as more fully described under the caption “Indemnification Agreements” in Item 1.01 of the AGM 8-K12B.
