PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT

TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 14, 2023

$600,000,000

Apollo Global Management, Inc.

7.625% Fixed-Rate Resettable Junior Subordinated Notes due 2053

Interest payable on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15, commencing December 15, 2023

Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Issuer”) is offering $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.625% Fixed-Rate Resettable Junior Subordinated Notes due 2053 (the “notes”). The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed, jointly and severally, on an unsecured subordinated basis by Apollo Asset Management, Inc. (“AAM”), Apollo Principal Holdings I, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings III, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VI, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VIII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings X, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings XII, L.P., AMH Holdings (Cayman), L.P., Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. (“AMH”) and any other entity that is required to become a guarantor of the notes as provided under “Description of the Notes—Guarantees” (collectively, the “Guarantors”). The Issuer and the Guarantors are all holding companies, and the notes are not guaranteed by any fee generating businesses, funds managed by subsidiaries of Apollo Global Management, Inc. or Athene Holding Ltd. (“AHL” and, together with its subsidiaries, “Athene”) and its direct and indirect subsidiaries. The notes will mature on September 15, 2053.

We intend to use the proceeds from the offering of the notes, together with cash on hand, to (a) redeem in full the outstanding shares of AAM Preferred Stock (as defined herein), with an aggregate liquidation value of $575.0 million, and (b) pay related fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the notes and the redemption of the AAM Preferred Stock. Following the redemption of the AAM Preferred Stock, AAM intends to terminate its separate filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

The initial interest rate for the notes from and including the issue date to, but excluding, December 15, 2028 (the “First Call Date”) will be 7.625% per annum. On and after the First Call Date, the interest rate on the notes for each Reset Period (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest”) will be equal to the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest”) as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest”) plus a spread of 3.226%. See “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest.” The Issuer has the right, on one or more occasions, to defer the payment of interest on the notes for up to five consecutive years (each such period, an “optional deferral period”). During an optional deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the notes, and deferred interest payments will accrue additional interest at the then applicable interest rate on the notes, compounded quarterly as of each interest payment date to the extent permitted by applicable law. See “Description of the Notes—Option to Defer Interest Payments.”

During the three-month period prior to, and including December 15, 2028, and the three-month period prior to, and including, any subsequent Reset Date (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest”), the Issuer may redeem the notes, at its option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such redemption date. See “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption of the Notes.” The Issuer may also redeem the notes at its option, at any time, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days of the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Tax Redemption”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such redemption date. In addition, the Issuer may redeem the notes, at its option, in whole but not in part, at any time within 120 days of the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Rating Agency Event Redemption”), at a redemption price equal to 102%

of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus an amount equal to any accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, such redemption date.

The notes and the guarantees will constitute the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ direct, unsecured, subordinated obligations, respectively, and rank equally with one another and with any Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Subordination”) and prior to any Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Subordination”). The rights and claims of holders of the notes will be subordinated to the claims of any Senior Indebtedness (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Subordination”). The notes will be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Issuer’s and Guarantors’ subsidiaries that do not guarantee the notes. See “Description of the Notes—Subordination.”

The Issuer intends to apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “APOS.” If approved for listing, the Issuer expects trading of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange to commence within 30 days after they are first issued. Currently, there is no established trading market for the notes.

For a more detailed description of the notes, see “Description of the Notes.”

Investing in the notes involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page S-15 and in the documents we have incorporated by reference.

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any other regulatory body has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus supplement or the accompanying prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

The notes will be ready for delivery in book-entry form in denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof only through The Depository Trust Company, for the benefit of its participants, including Clearstream Banking S.A. and Euroclear Bank SA/NV, on or about August 23, 2023.

RISK FACTORS

Investing in the notes involves risks. You should carefully review the following risk factors and the risks discussed under the captions “Risk Factors” in our 2022 10-K, Q1 2023 10-Q and Q2 2023 10-Q, each of which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, or any similar caption in the documents that we subsequently file with the SEC that are deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement, and in any free writing prospectus that we provide you in connection with the offering of the notes pursuant to this prospectus supplement. You should carefully review the other risks and uncertainties discussed in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, the documents incorporated and deemed to be incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and in any such free writing prospectus. The risks and uncertainties discussed below and in the documents referred to above, as well as other matters discussed in this prospectus supplement and in those documents, could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and the market price of the notes. Moreover, the risks and uncertainties discussed below and in the foregoing documents are not the only risks and uncertainties that we face, and our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations and the market price of the notes could be materially adversely affected by other matters that are not known to us or that we currently do not consider to be material risks to our business.

Risks Relating to the Notes and the Guarantees

Our obligations under the notes and the guarantees will be subordinated.

The Issuer’s and each Guarantor’s payment obligation under the notes and the guarantees, respectively, will be unsecured and will rank junior in right of payment and to all of their Senior Indebtedness (as defined in “Description of the Notes”) on the terms set forth in the indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued. The Issuer and each of the Guarantors, therefore, cannot make any payments on the notes, if (i) it has defaulted on the payment of any of its Senior Indebtedness and the default is continuing, (ii) the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been accelerated as a result of a default and the default is continuing and such acceleration has not been rescinded or annulled or (iii) the Issuer or such Guarantor has filed for bankruptcy or is liquidating, dissolving or winding-up or in receivership, and its Senior Indebtedness has not been repaid in full.

As of June 30, 2023, the Issuer and the Guarantors had $2,465 million in outstanding Senior Indebtedness, $297 million in outstanding Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes and the guarantees (as defined in “Description of the Notes”) and no Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes and the guarantees (as defined in “Description of the Notes”). The indenture pursuant to which the notes will be issued and the agreements governing the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ existing Senior Indebtedness do not place any limit on the amount of liabilities that the Issuer and the Guarantors may issue, guarantee or otherwise incur or the amount of liabilities, including debt or preferred stock, that the Issuer’s subsidiaries may issue, guarantee or otherwise incur. The Issuer and the Guarantors expect from time to time to incur additional indebtedness and other liabilities and to guarantee indebtedness that will be senior to, or pari passu with, the notes.

AHL is not liable for payments of amounts due under the notes being offered herein.

AHL is a direct subsidiary of the Issuer. The notes being offered herein are obligations only of the Issuer and are unconditionally and irrevocably guaranteed by the Guarantors. AHL and its direct and indirect subsidiaries will not be Guarantors of the notes and will not be liable for the payment of amounts due under the notes. AHL and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are subsidiaries of the Issuer and are obligors under certain credit agreements and notes with aggregate indebtedness of $3,642 million as of June 30, 2023. In addition, AHL and its subsidiaries will not be subject to the covenants set forth in the indenture.

S-15

The Issuer and the Guarantors are holding companies and will depend upon funds from their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations under the notes and the guarantees, respectively. The notes and the guarantees will be structurally subordinated to the claims of the creditors of the Issuer’s and the Guarantors’ respective subsidiaries.

The Issuer and each of the Guarantors are holding companies, and their only significant assets are their investments in their respective subsidiaries. As holding companies, the Issuer and the Guarantors are dependent upon intercompany transfers of funds from their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations under the notes and the guarantees, respectively. The ability of such entities to make other payments to the Issuer and the Guarantors may be restricted by, among other things, applicable laws as well as agreements to which those entities may be a party. Therefore, the Issuer’s ability and the Guarantors’ abilities to make payments in respect of the notes or the guarantees, respectively, may be limited.

None of the subsidiaries of the Issuer, other than the Guarantors, will have any obligations in respect of the notes, unless any such entities become guarantors. See “Description of the Notes.” Accordingly, the notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors (including trade creditors, if any) of all the subsidiaries of the Issuer, other than the Guarantors, except to the extent that any such entities become guarantors. In addition, certain direct and indirect wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Guarantors are obligors under the senior credit agreement, but will not be guarantors of the notes. The senior credit agreement provides for a $1.0 billion revolving facility. As of June 30, 2023, no borrowings were outstanding under the revolving facility. All obligations of each subsidiary of the Issuer and the Guarantors that is not itself a Guarantor will have to be satisfied before any of the assets of such entities would be available for distribution, upon a liquidation or otherwise, to the Issuer or the Guarantors, respectively.

In contrast to typical guaranteed debt securities, the Issuer and the Guarantors of the notes are holding companies. Accordingly, the notes have similar credit characteristics to holding company debt that does not have the benefit of guarantees and are structurally subordinated to the claims of creditors of our fee generating businesses.

The guarantees of the notes are intended to serve a different purpose than guarantees in a traditional guaranteed debt structure. In a typical debt offering with guarantees, the notes are issued by a parent holding company and the obligations are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the issuer’s wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. This has the effect of improving the credit quality of what would otherwise be holding company debt by effectively eliminating structural subordination of the parent’s debt obligation to the trade and other creditors of the operating businesses. By contrast, the guarantees of the notes are issued by intermediate holding companies and, therefore, the notes and guarantees will remain structurally subordinated to the creditors of our fee generating businesses. Accordingly, the credit quality of the notes and related guarantees is more similar to holding company debt securities than traditional guaranteed debt securities.

The reason we elected to have the Guarantors guarantee the Issuer’s payment obligations under the indenture was to ensure that the payment obligation was at a level in our organizational structure that owns a significant portion of our fee generating businesses.

The Issuer can defer payments on the notes for one or more periods of up to five years each. This may affect the market price of the notes.

So long as there is no event of default with respect to the notes, the Issuer may defer interest payments on the notes, from time to time, for one or more optional deferral periods of up to five consecutive years. At the end of an optional deferral period, if all amounts due are paid, the Issuer could start a new optional deferral period of up to five consecutive years. During any optional deferral period, interest on the notes would be deferred but would be compounded and accrue additional interest at a rate equal to the interest rate on the notes, to the extent permitted by applicable law. No optional deferral period may extend beyond the maturity date of the notes. See “Description of the Notes—Option to Defer Interest Payments.”

S-16

If the Issuer exercises its right to defer interest payments, the notes may trade at a price that does not fully reflect the value of accrued and unpaid interest on the notes or that is otherwise less than the price at which the notes may have been traded if we had not exercised such right. In addition, as a result of the Issuer’s right to defer interest payments, the market price of the notes is likely to be affected and may be more volatile than other securities that do not have these rights.

If the Issuer defers interest on the notes and you sell your notes during the period of that deferral, you may not receive the same return on your investment as a holder that continues to hold its notes until the Issuer or any of the Guarantors pays the deferred interest at the end of the applicable deferral period.

The Issuer and the Guarantors may continue to make certain distributions when the Issuer defers interest payments on the notes.

If the Issuer exercises its right to defer interest payments, neither the Issuer nor any Guarantor may generally make payments on or redeem or purchase any of its equity interests or any of its debt securities or guarantees that rank pari passu or junior to the notes, subject to certain exceptions. The holders of the notes will have no right to prohibit, and no claim over, any such distributions, which may be material in amount. See “Description of the Notes—Payment Restrictions During a Deferral Period.”

If the Issuer defers interest payments on the notes, there will be U.S. federal income tax consequences to holders of the notes.

If the Issuer were to defer interest payments on the notes, the notes would be treated as issued with original issue discount (“OID”) at the time of such deferral, and all stated interest due after such deferral would be treated as OID. In such case, a “U.S. holder” (as defined in “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences”) would generally be required to include such stated interest in income as it accrues, regardless of such U.S. holder’s regular method of accounting, using a constant yield method, before such holder received any payment attributable to such income, and would not separately report the actual payments of interest on the notes as taxable income.

If holders of the notes sell their notes before the record date for the payment of interest at the end of an optional deferral period, they will not receive such interest. Instead, the accrued interest will be paid to the holder of record on the record date regardless of who the holder of record may have been on any other date during the optional deferral period. Moreover, amounts that holders were required to include in income in respect of the notes during the optional deferral period will be added to such holders’ adjusted tax basis in the notes, but may not be reflected in the amount that such holder realizes on the sale. To the extent the amount realized on a sale is less than the holder’s adjusted tax basis, the holder will generally recognize a capital loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes. The deductibility of capital losses is subject to limitations. See “Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Consequences.”

The interest rate will reset on the First Call Date and each subsequent Reset Date and any interest payable after the First Call Date may be less than the initial fixed rate in effect until the First Call Date.

The interest rate on the notes for each Reset Period will equal the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date plus 3.226% (each as defined in “Description of the Notes—Principal and Interest”). Therefore, the interest rate after the First Call Date could be less than the fixed rate for the initial five-year period. The Issuer has no control over the factors that may affect U.S. Treasury Rates, including geopolitical conditions and economic, financial, political, regulatory, judicial or other events that may impact U.S. Treasury Rates.

S-17

The historical five-year U.S. Treasury rates are not an indication of future Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rates.

In the past, U.S. Treasury rates have experienced significant fluctuations. You should note that historical levels, fluctuations and trends of U.S. Treasury rates are not necessarily indicative of future levels. Any historical upward or downward trend in U.S. Treasury rates is not an indication that U.S. Treasury rates are more or less likely to increase or decrease at any time after the First Call Date and you should not take the historical U.S. Treasury rates as an indication of future Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rates.

Your right to receive payments on the notes is effectively subordinated to the rights of those lenders who have a security interest in the assets of the Issuer, the Guarantors and the subsidiaries of the Issuer and the Guarantors.

The Issuer’s obligations under the notes are unsecured. In the future, the Issuer, the Guarantors or the subsidiaries of the Issuer or the Guarantors may incur indebtedness that is secured by certain or substantially all of their respective tangible and intangible assets, including the equity interests of each of their existing and future subsidiaries. If the Issuer, the Guarantors or the subsidiaries of the Issuer or the Guarantors were unable to repay any such secured indebtedness, the creditors of such obligations could foreclose on the pledged or charged assets to the exclusion of holders of the notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture or obligations under the notes are otherwise due and payable at such time. In any such event, because the notes are unsecured, it is possible that there would be no assets remaining from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets remained, they might be insufficient to fully satisfy your claims.

Your ability to transfer the notes may be limited by the absence of an active trading market, and there is no assurance that any active trading market will develop for the notes.

The notes are a new issue of securities for which there is no established public market. We intend to apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “APOS.” If approved for listing, we expect trading of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange to commence within 30 days after they are first issued. The listing of the notes will not necessarily ensure that an active trading market for the notes will develop or, if developed, that it will continue. We cannot assure you that the market, if any, for the notes will be free from disruptions that may adversely affect the prices at which you may sell your notes. In addition, subsequent to their initial issuance, the notes may trade at a discount from their initial offering price, depending upon our credit ratings with major credit rating agencies, prevailing interest rates, the market for similar notes, our performance, our election to defer interest payments on the notes (see “Description of the Notes—Option to Defer Interest Payments”), overall conditions of the economy and financial markets and other factors.

If an active trading market does develop, changes in our credit ratings or the debt markets could adversely affect the market price of the notes.

The market price for the notes will depend on many factors, including:

The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future. Fluctuations could have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes.

Credit rating agencies also continually review their ratings for debt securities of companies that they follow, including us. Negative changes in our ratings could have an adverse effect on the market price of the notes. The effect of any credit rating downgrade would be to increase our costs of borrowing in the future.

S-18

The Issuer is not required to redeem the notes when they become redeemable, and the Issuer only expects to do so if it is in the Issuer’s best interest as determined in its sole discretion.

The notes do not have a mandatory redemption date and are not redeemable at the option of holders of the notes. The notes may be redeemed by the Issuer at its option after the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event or a Rating Agency Event (each as defined in “Description of the Notes”), but the Issuer is not required to redeem the notes in whole or in part. Any decision the Issuer may make at any time to redeem the notes will be determined in its sole discretion and depend upon, among other things, an evaluation of its capital position, the composition of its shareholders’ equity, its outstanding senior debt and general market conditions at that time.

Redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.

The Issuer has the right to redeem some or all of the notes during the three-month period prior to, and including, the First Call Date and during the three-month period prior to, and including, any subsequent Reset Date, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date, as described under “Description of the Notes—Optional Redemption of the Notes.” In addition, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the notes before the maturity date, in whole but not in part, within 120 days of certain changes in tax laws, regulations or interpretations, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, as described under “Description of the Notes—Tax Redemption.” The Issuer may also, at its option, redeem the notes before the maturity date, in whole but not in part, within 120 days of a Rating Agency Event at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date, as described under “Description of the Notes—Rating Agency Event Redemption.” If the Issuer exercises any of these rights, the Issuer may redeem the notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in a comparable security at an effective interest rate as high as that of the notes.

There will be limited covenants and protections in the indenture.

While the indenture and the notes will contain terms intended to provide protection to holders upon the occurrence of certain events involving significant corporate transactions and our creditworthiness, these terms will be limited and may not be sufficient to protect your investment in the notes. For example, there will be no financial covenants in the indenture, and you do not have any rights to require the Issuer to repurchase the notes prior to their maturity.

If the Issuer or Guarantors fail to comply with the covenants under the notes, there are no related events of default and no right to accelerate the notes.

The only remedies available to the holders of the notes are as described under “Description of the Notes—Events of Default, Notice and Waiver.” The holders and the trustee of the notes do not have the right to declare all amounts outstanding under the notes due and payable if the Issuer or the Guarantors fail to pay interest on the notes when such amounts become due and payable, or fail to comply with the obligations imposed by the covenants of the indenture. As a result, if the Issuer or the Guarantors do not pay interest or violate any of the covenants, the notes will remain outstanding and their obligations thereunder will remain unchanged.

Credit ratings may not reflect all risks.

One or more credit rating agencies are expected to assign credit ratings to the notes. Any such ratings may not reflect the potential impact of all risks related to structure, market, additional factors discussed above and incorporated by reference herein and other factors that may affect the value of the notes. A credit rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn by the rating agency at any time.

S-19

The rating agencies may change their practices for rating the notes, which change may affect the market price of the notes. In addition, the Issuer may redeem the notes if a rating agency amends, clarifies or changes the criteria used to assign equity credit for securities similar to the notes.

The rating agencies that currently publish a rating for us, including Fitch Ratings, Ltd., a division of Fitch Inc., Moody’s Investor Service, Inc., a subsidiary of Moody’s Corporation, and S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., may, from time to time in the future, change the way they analyze securities with features similar to the notes. This may include, for example, changes to the relationship between ratings assigned to an issuer’s senior securities and ratings assigned to securities with features similar to the notes. If the rating agencies change their criteria or practices for rating these types of securities in the future, and the ratings of the notes are subsequently lowered, that could have a negative impact on the trading price of the notes. In addition, the Issuer may, at its option, redeem the notes before the maturity date, in whole but not in part, within 120 days of a Rating Agency Event (as defined in “Description of the Notes—Rating Agency Event Redemption”).

U.S. federal and state fraudulent transfer laws, and applicable Cayman Islands law, may permit a court to void the notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and any guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the notes.

The Issuer, AAM and AMH are each formed under the laws of the State of Delaware and the remaining Guarantors are each formed under the law of the Cayman Islands (such guarantors, the “Cayman Guarantors”). While relevant fraudulent transfer laws may vary across jurisdictions, such laws may permit a court to void the notes and the guarantees, subordinate claims in respect of the notes and any guarantees and require noteholders to return payments received and, if that occurs, you may not receive any payments on the notes. Relevant fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes, and applicable Cayman Islands law, may apply to the issuance of the notes, the incurrence of any guarantees of the notes entered into upon issuance of the notes and guarantees that may be entered into thereafter under the terms of the indenture. Under applicable bankruptcy law and comparable provisions of fraudulent transfer or conveyance laws, which may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction, the notes or any guarantee could be voided as a fraudulent transfer or conveyance if (1) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, issued the notes or incurred its guarantee with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) the Issuer or any of the Guarantors, as applicable, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for issuing the notes or incurring its guarantee and, in the case of (2) only, one of the following is also true at the time thereof:

A court would likely find that the Issuer or a Guarantor did not receive reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration for the notes or a guarantee if the Issuer or such Guarantor did not substantially benefit directly or indirectly from the issuance of the notes or the applicable guarantee. As a general matter, value is given for a transfer or an obligation if, in exchange for the transfer or obligation, property is transferred or new or antecedent debt is secured or satisfied.

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not the Issuer or the Guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the guarantees would not be further subordinated to the Issuer’s or any of the Guarantors’ other debt. Generally, however, an entity would be considered insolvent if at the time it incurred indebtedness:

S-20

If a court were to find that the issuance of the notes or the incurrence of the guarantees was a fraudulent transfer or conveyance, the court could void the payment obligations under the notes or such guarantees or subordinate the notes or such guarantees to presently existing and future indebtedness of the Issuer or of the applicable Guarantor, or require the holders of the notes to repay any amounts received with respect to such guarantees. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the notes.

Although each guarantee entered into by a Guarantor will contain a provision intended to limit that Guarantor’s liability to the maximum amount that it could incur without causing the incurrence of obligations under its guarantee to be a fraudulent transfer, this provision may not be effective to protect those guarantees from being voided under fraudulent transfer law, or may reduce that Guarantor’s obligation to an amount that effectively makes its guarantee worthless.

Noteholders may face difficulties in enforcing the guarantees provided by the Cayman Guarantors because each Cayman Guarantor is an exempted limited partnership formed under Cayman Islands law.

Each of the Cayman Guarantors is an exempted limited partnership formed under the law of the Cayman Islands. We have been advised by Walkers, our Cayman Islands legal counsel, that there is uncertainty as to whether the courts of the Cayman Islands would (i) recognize or enforce against a Cayman Guarantor judgments of courts of the United States predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state and (ii) in original actions brought in the Cayman Islands, impose liabilities against a Cayman Guarantor predicated upon the civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States or any state. In those circumstances, although there is no Cayman Islands statute which provides for automatic recognition or enforcement in the Cayman Islands of judgments obtained in the federal or state courts of the United States (and the Cayman Islands are not a party to any treaties for the reciprocal enforcement or recognition of such judgments), the courts of the Cayman Islands may recognize and enforce an in personam foreign money judgment of a foreign court of competent jurisdiction, by an action commenced on the judgment obtained in the United States in the courts of the Cayman Islands without retrial on the merits at common law based on the principle that a judgment of a competent foreign court imposes upon the judgment debtor an obligation to pay the sum for which judgment has been given provided certain conditions are met. For a foreign judgment to be enforced in the Cayman Islands, such judgment must be one in respect of which the relevant United States court had jurisdiction over the Cayman Guarantor according to Cayman Islands conflict of law rules, final and conclusive and for a liquidated sum, and must not be in respect of taxes or a fine or penalty or similar fiscal or revenue obligations or, in certain circumstances for in personam non-money-relief, inconsistent with a Cayman Islands judgment in respect of the same matter, impeachable on the grounds of fraud or obtained in a manner, or be of a kind the enforcement of which is, contrary to natural justice or the public policy of the Cayman Islands. However, the courts of the Cayman Islands are unlikely to enforce a judgment obtained from a court of the United States under civil liability provisions of the federal securities laws of the United States if such judgment is determined by the courts of the Cayman Islands to give rise to obligations to make payments that are penal or punitive in nature. Because such a determination has not yet been made by a court of the Cayman Islands, it is uncertain whether such civil liability judgments from courts of the United States would be enforceable in the Cayman Islands.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We estimate that the net proceeds to us from the sale of the notes in this offering will be approximately $586.3 million, after deducting the underwriting discount but before offering expenses payable by us.

We intend to use the proceeds from the offering of the notes, together with cash on hand, to (a) redeem in full the outstanding shares of AAM Preferred Stock, with an aggregate liquidation value of $575.0 million, and (b) pay related fees and expenses in connection with the offering of the notes and the redemption of the AAM Preferred Stock. Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold shares of AAM Preferred Stock that we intend to redeem in full, as described above, in which case they will receive a portion of the proceeds of this offering.

S-24

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES

Set forth below is a description of the material terms of the 7.625% Fixed-Rate Resettable Junior Subordinated Notes due 2053 (the “notes”). This description does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to, the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “TIA”), and to all of the provisions of the Indenture (as defined below) governing the notes and those terms made a part of the Indenture by reference to the TIA. In addition to reading this description of the notes, you should also read the Indenture under which the notes are to be issued because it, and not this description, will define your rights as a holder of the notes. A copy of the Indenture will be available from the Issuer (as defined below) upon request.

General

The notes will be issued by Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Issuer” and, together with the Guarantors (as defined below), the “Credit Parties”). The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by Apollo Asset Management, Inc., Apollo Principal Holdings I, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings III, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VI, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VIII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings X, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings XII, L.P., AMH Holdings (Cayman), L.P. and Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. (collectively, the “Initial Guarantors”). Other than the Initial Guarantors, the other subsidiaries of the Issuer (including Athene Holding Ltd.) will not be required to guarantee or have any obligation in respect of the notes, other than as set forth in “—Guarantees” below.

The notes will be issued under an indenture (the “Indenture”), to be dated August 23, 2023, among the Issuer, the guarantors party thereto and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, a national banking association, as trustee (the “Trustee”).

The notes will be issued in an initial aggregate principal amount of $600,000,000 in fully registered form only, in denominations of $25.00 and integral multiples of $25.00 in excess thereof. The notes will mature on September 15, 2053, unless the Issuer redeems the notes prior to that date, as described below under “—Optional Redemption of the Notes,” “—Tax Redemption,” and “—Rating Agency Event Redemption.”

The terms of the notes are stated in the Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the amount of other debt that the Issuer or the Initial Guarantors may incur. The Issuer may, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, issue other debt securities in addition to the notes. The Issuer may also, from time to time, without the consent of the holders of the notes, increase the principal amount of the notes that may be issued under the Indenture and issue additional notes of this series in the future. Any such additional notes will have the same terms as the notes being offered herein but may be offered at a different offering price or have a different issue date, initial interest accrual date or initial interest payment date than the notes being offered herein. If issued, these additional notes will become part of the same series as the notes being offered herein, including for purposes of voting, redemptions and offers to purchase. If any additional notes are not fungible with the notes being offered herein for U.S. federal income tax purposes, such additional notes will not have the same CUSIP number as the notes being offered herein.

The notes do not provide for any sinking fund.

Principal and Interest

Subject to the Issuer’s right to elect to forgo payment of interest on the notes as described under “—Option to Defer Interest Payments,” the notes will bear interest from and including August 23, 2023 to but excluding December 15, 2028 (the “First Call Date”) at the annual rate of 7.625%.

S-25

On and after the First Call Date, the interest rate on the notes for each Reset Period (as defined below) will be equal to the Five-Year U.S. Treasury Rate (as defined below) as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date (as defined below) plus a spread of 3.226%.

The applicable interest rate for each Reset Period will be determined by the calculation agent (as described below), as of the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date, in accordance with the following provisions:

Unless the Issuer has delivered a notice of redemption of all outstanding notes, with such redemption to occur on the First Call Date, the Issuer will appoint a calculation agent with respect to the notes prior to the Reset Interest Determination Date preceding the First Call Date. The applicable interest rate for each Reset Period will be determined by the calculation agent, as of the applicable Reset Interest Determination Date. Promptly upon such determination, the calculation agent will notify the Issuer of the interest rate for the Reset Period. The calculation agent’s determination of any interest rate, and its calculation of the amount of interest for any interest period beginning on or after the First Call Date, will be on file at the Issuer’s principal offices, will be made available to any holder of the notes upon request and will be final and binding in the absence of manifest error.

Interest on the notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, commencing on December 15, 2023, to the persons in whose names the notes are registered at the close of business on the immediately preceding March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1, respectively (whether or not a business day), subject to certain exceptions. Interest on the notes will be computed on a basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months.

S-26

Amounts due on the stated maturity date or earlier redemption date of the notes will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee, initially at 100 Wall Street, Suite 600, New York, NY 10005. The Issuer will make payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest in respect of the notes in book-entry form to DTC in immediately available funds, while disbursement of such payments to owners of beneficial interests in notes in book-entry form will be made in accordance with the procedures of DTC and its participants in effect from time to time. The Trustee will initially act as paying agent for payments with respect to the notes. The Issuer may at any time designate additional paying agents or rescind the designation of any paying agent or approve a change in the office through which any paying agent acts, except that the Issuer will be required to maintain a paying agent in each place of payment for the notes. All moneys paid by the Issuer to a paying agent for the payment of principal, interest, premium, if any, or the redemption price on notes which remain unclaimed at the end of two years after such principal, interest or premium has become due and payable will be repaid to the Issuer upon request, and the holder of such notes thereafter may look only to the Issuer for payment thereof.

Neither the Issuer nor the Trustee will impose any service charge for any transfer or exchange of a note. However, the Issuer may require you to pay any taxes or other governmental charges in connection with a transfer or exchange of notes.

The Issuer is not required to transfer or exchange any notes selected for redemption for a period of 15 days before mailing of a notice of redemption of the notes to be redeemed.

If any interest payment date, stated maturity date or earlier redemption date falls on a day that is not a business day in The City of New York, the Issuer will make the required payment of principal, premium, if any, and/or interest on the next business day as if it were made on the date payment was due, and no interest will accrue on the amount so payable for the period from and after that interest payment date, stated maturity date or earlier redemption date, as the case may be, to the next business day.

The transferor of any certificated notes (as opposed to notes in book-entry form) shall also provide or cause to be provided to the Trustee all information in its possession that is necessary to allow the Trustee to comply with any applicable tax reporting obligations, including without limitation, any cost basis reporting obligations under section 6045 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Trustee may rely on any such information provided to it and shall have no responsibility to verify or ensure the accuracy of such information.

As used in the Indenture, the term “business day” means any day, other than a Saturday or Sunday, that is not a day on which banking institutions or trust companies are authorized or obligated by law, regulation or executive order to close in the place where the principal of and premium, if any, and interest on, or any redemption price of, the notes are payable.

Option to Defer Interest Payments

So long as no Event of Default (as defined below) with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, the Issuer may, on one or more occasions, defer interest payments on the notes for one or more optional deferral periods of up to five consecutive years without giving rise to an Event of Default under the terms of the notes. A deferral of interest payments cannot extend, however, beyond the maturity date or the earlier acceleration or redemption of the notes. During an optional deferral period, interest will continue to accrue on the notes, and deferred interest payments will accrue additional interest at the then applicable interest rate on the notes, compounded quarterly as of each interest payment date to the extent permitted by applicable law. During an optional deferral period, the Issuer will be prohibited from paying current interest on the notes until all accrued and unpaid deferred interest plus any accrued interest thereon has been paid. No interest otherwise due during an optional deferral period will be due and payable on the notes until the end of such optional deferral period except upon an acceleration or redemption of the notes during such deferral period.

S-27

At the end of five years following the commencement of an optional deferral period, the Issuer must pay all accrued and unpaid deferred interest, including compounded interest if it has not been paid before that time. If, at the end of any optional deferral period, the Issuer has paid all deferred interest due on the notes, including compounded interest, the Issuer can again defer interest payments on the notes as described above.

The Issuer will provide to the Trustee and the holders of notes written notice of any deferral of interest at least two and not more than 60 business days prior to the applicable interest payment date. The Issuer has no present intention of exercising its right to defer payments of interest.

Payment Restrictions During a Deferral Period

After the commencement of an optional deferral period until all accrued and unpaid interest on the notes has been paid, the Issuer and the Guarantors will not:

other than:

S-28

Guarantees

The obligations of the Issuer pursuant to the notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed (the “Note Guarantees”), jointly and severally, on a junior subordinated basis, by each of the Initial Guarantors and any Additional Guarantors as defined below (Additional Guarantors, if any, together with the Initial Guarantors, the “Guarantors”).

Any New Apollo Operating Group Entity (as defined below) (other than a Non-Guarantor Entity (as defined below)) must provide a Note Guarantee, whereupon such New Apollo Operating Group Entity shall be an “Additional Guarantor.” Athene Holding Ltd. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries will not be required to guarantee the notes.

Other than the Initial Guarantors, the other subsidiaries of the Issuer (including Athene Holding Ltd.) will not guarantee or have any obligation in respect of the notes at the time of issuance. The Issuer and the Initial Guarantors are holding companies that hold equity interests in operating entities. The Issuer and the Initial Guarantors depend upon funds from their respective subsidiaries to meet their obligations in respect of the notes or the Note Guarantees, as applicable. Accordingly, the character of the notes is that of securities issued by a holding company.

Each Note Guarantee will be a general unsecured obligation of the relevant Guarantor and will be limited to the maximum amount that would not render the Guarantor’s obligations subject to avoidance under applicable fraudulent conveyance provisions of the United States Bankruptcy Code or any comparable provision of state law. By virtue of this limitation, a Guarantor’s obligation under its Note Guarantee could be significantly less than amounts payable with respect to the notes or a Guarantor may have effectively no obligation under its Note Guarantee.

The Note Guarantee of a Guarantor will terminate:

“New Apollo Operating Group Entity” means any subsidiary (other than a directly or indirectly wholly-owned subsidiary) of Apollo Asset Management, Inc. other than (i) a then-existing Guarantor, (ii) any Person in

S-29

which Apollo Asset Management, Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interest through one or more then-existing Guarantors or (iii) any Person through which Apollo Asset Management, Inc. directly or indirectly owns its interests in one or more then-existing Guarantors.

“Non-Guarantor Entity” means any Person designated by the Issuer as such in accordance with the Indenture. The Indenture will provide that the Issuer may designate any Person as a Non-Guarantor Entity if (1) such Person is directly or indirectly wholly-owned by one or more Credit Parties or (2) such Person, together with all then-existing Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to this clause (2) on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole, would not constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor provision) of the Issuer (the foregoing, the “Non-Guarantor Limitation”). The Issuer may also, from time to time, remove the designation of any Person as a Non-Guarantor Entity and must remove the designation as to one or more Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to clause (2) of the immediately preceding sentence to the extent as of the end of any fiscal quarter such Non-Guarantor Entities exceed the Non-Guarantor Limitation. Any such designation or removal by the Issuer shall be evidenced to the Trustee by promptly filing with the Trustee a copy of the resolution of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of the Issuer to have been duly adopted by the Issuer’s board of directors giving effect to such designation or removal, and in the case of a designation, a certificate of a financial officer of the Issuer certifying that such designation complied with the foregoing provisions.

“Person” means an individual, a corporation, a partnership, a limited liability company, an association, a trust or any other entity, including a government or political subdivision or an agency or instrumentality thereof.

Subordination

The payment of the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the notes and the payment of any Note Guarantee will:

The Indenture does not contain any limitations on the amount of additional Indebtedness that the Issuer or any of the Guarantors or their respective subsidiaries may incur, including Senior Indebtedness.

Upon any payment or distribution of assets to creditors upon any receivership, liquidation, dissolution, winding up, reorganization, assignment for the benefit of creditors, marshaling of assets or any bankruptcy, insolvency, or similar proceedings, the holders of Senior Indebtedness will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or other satisfactory consideration of all amounts due or to become due, including interest accruing after the filing of a bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding on or in respect of such Senior Indebtedness before the holders of the notes will be entitled to receive or retain any payment in respect thereof.

In the event of the acceleration of the maturity of the notes, the holders of all Senior Indebtedness outstanding at the time of such acceleration will first be entitled to receive payment in full in cash or other satisfactory consideration of all such Senior Indebtedness before the holders of the notes will be entitled to receive or retain any payment in respect of the notes.

S-30

In the event and during the continuation of any default in any payment with respect to any Senior Indebtedness, or in the event that the maturity of any Senior Indebtedness has been or would be permitted upon notice or the passage of time to be accelerated because of a default, then, unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist and such acceleration shall have been rescinded or annulled, then no payments on account of principal or premium, if any, or interest in respect of the notes may be made, in each case unless and until all amounts due or to become due on such Senior Indebtedness are paid in full in cash or other satisfactory consideration.

As of June 30, 2023, each of the Issuer and the Guarantors had $2,465 million in outstanding Senior Indebtedness, $297 million in outstanding Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes and the Note Guarantees and no Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes and the Note Guarantees.

“Senior Indebtedness” shall mean all Indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date of the first issuance of the notes or thereafter created, assumed or incurred, except Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes or Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes, and any deferrals, renewals or extensions of such Senior Indebtedness. Senior Indebtedness does not include obligations to trade creditors created or assumed by the Credit Parties in the ordinary course of business, which will rank pari passu with the notes and the Note Guarantees in right of payment upon liquidation.

“Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes” shall mean Indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date of first issuance of the notes or thereafter created, assumed or incurred, which specifically by its terms ranks equally with and not prior to the notes (and any Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes) in right of payment upon the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization or similar events. The securing of any Indebtedness in compliance with the Indenture, otherwise constituting Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes, shall not be deemed to prevent such Indebtedness from constituting Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes.

“Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes” shall mean any Indebtedness, whether outstanding on the date of the first issuance of the notes or thereafter created, assumed or incurred, which specifically by its terms ranks junior to and not equally with or prior to the notes (and any Indebtedness Ranking on a Parity with the notes) in right of payment upon the Issuer’s or any Guarantor’s dissolution, winding-up, liquidation, reorganization, or similar events. The securing of any Indebtedness in compliance with the Indenture, otherwise constituting Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes, shall not be deemed to prevent such Indebtedness from constituting Indebtedness Ranking Junior to the notes.

“Indebtedness” shall mean (a) any obligation of, or any obligation guaranteed by, the Issuer or the Guarantors for which such Person is responsible or liable as obligor or otherwise including principal, premium and interest (whether accruing before or after filing of any petition in bankruptcy or any similar proceedings by or against the Credit Parties and whether or not allowed as a claim in bankruptcy or similar proceedings) for (i) indebtedness for money borrowed, (ii) indebtedness evidenced by securities, bonds, debentures, notes or other similar written instruments, (iii) any deferred obligation for the payment of the purchase price or conditional sale obligation of property or assets acquired other than in the ordinary course of business, (iv) all obligations for the reimbursement of any letter of credit, banker’s acceptance, security purchase facility or similar credit transaction, (v) all obligations under “keep-well” agreements required by insurance regulators or (vi) any obligation referred to in (i) through (v) above of other persons secured by any lien on any property or asset of the Credit Parties (to the extent of the value of such property or asset subject to such lien) and (b) all indebtedness for obligations to make payment in respect of derivative products such as interest and foreign exchange rate contracts, commodity contracts (including future or options contracts) swap agreements, cap agreements, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and similar arrangements, whether outstanding on the first issuance of the notes or thereafter created, assumed or incurred.

The notes and Note Guarantees are obligations of the Credit Parties and are not obligations of the subsidiaries of the Credit Parties, other than a subsidiary that is itself one of the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties

S-31

do not conduct material independent operations and substantially all of their operations are conducted through subsidiaries of the Credit Parties. The Credit Parties’ cash flow and ability to service debt, including the notes, depend upon receiving loans, advances and other payments from the subsidiaries of the Credit Parties. These subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and they have no obligation to pay any amounts due on the notes or to provide the Credit Parties with funds to satisfy any payment obligations with respect to the notes. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions, loans or advances by subsidiaries of the Credit Parties could be subject to statutory or contractual restrictions. Payments due to the Credit Parties by their respective subsidiaries will also be contingent upon the earnings and business considerations of such subsidiaries. The Credit Parties’ right to receive any assets of any of their respective subsidiaries, as a common equity holder of such subsidiaries, upon their liquidation or reorganization, and therefore the right of the holders of the notes to participate in those assets, would be structurally subordinated to the claims of that subsidiary’s creditors, including trade creditors, and claims of preferred equity-holders, if any. Athene Holding Ltd. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries are subsidiaries of the Issuer and are obligors under certain credit agreements and notes with aggregate indebtedness of $3,642 million as of June 30, 2023. Athene Holding Ltd. and its direct and indirect subsidiaries will not be Guarantors of the notes. In addition, the notes are unsecured. Thus, even if any of the Credit Parties were a creditor of any Credit Party’s subsidiary, its rights as a creditor would be effectively subordinated to such subsidiary’s secured Indebtedness to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such Indebtedness and would be subordinated to such subsidiary’s Indebtedness that is senior to that held by the Credit Parties. See “Risk Factors—Risks Relating to the Notes and the Guarantees.”

Limitations on Liens

The Indenture will provide that the Credit Parties will not, and will not cause or permit any of their respective subsidiaries to, create, assume, incur or guarantee any indebtedness for money borrowed that is secured by a pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance (other than Permitted Liens) on any voting stock or profit participating equity interests of their respective subsidiaries (to the extent of their ownership of such voting stock or profit participating equity interests) or any entity that succeeds (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to all or any substantial part of the business of any of such subsidiaries, without providing that the notes (together with, if the Credit Parties shall so determine, any other Indebtedness of or guarantee by, the Credit Parties ranking equally with the notes and existing as of the closing of the offering of the notes or thereafter created) will be secured equally and ratably with or prior to all other Indebtedness secured by such pledge, mortgage, lien or other encumbrance on the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any such entities for so long as such other Indebtedness is so secured.

“Permitted Liens” means (a) liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of Athene Holding Ltd. and any of its direct or indirect subsidiaries, (b) liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any subsidiary existing at the time such entity becomes a direct or indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc. or is merged into a direct or indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (provided such liens are not created or incurred in connection with such transaction and do not extend to any other subsidiary), (c) statutory liens, liens for taxes or assessments or governmental liens not yet due or delinquent or which can be paid without penalty or are being contested in good faith, (d) other liens of a similar nature as those described above, (e) liens existing on the issuance date of the notes offered hereby, (f) liens securing Indebtedness for borrowed money in an aggregate principal amount outstanding at any one time not to exceed $2,500 million, (g) any pledge, lien or other encumbrance (x) the board of directors of Apollo Global Management, Inc. determines does not materially detract from or interfere with the value or control, as of the date of such determination, of the Credit Parties’ or any of their subsidiaries’ voting or profit participating equity ownership interests in any subsidiary and (y) in respect thereof the Issuer delivers an officer’s certificate to the Trustee certifying that it has received a confirmation from the Rating Agencies (as defined below) that the incurrence of such pledge, lien or other encumbrance would not result in a lowering of the rating on the notes (provided that to the extent the Rating Agencies are then no longer providing advance confirmation of ratings, such officer’s certificate shall certify that the board of directors of Apollo Global Management, Inc. has determined that such pledge, lien or other encumbrance would not materially detract from the creditworthiness of

S-32

the Credit Parties), and (h) any lien renewing, extending or refunding any lien permitted hereby without increase of the principal of the Indebtedness secured thereby. This covenant will not limit the ability of the Credit Parties or their subsidiaries to incur Indebtedness or other obligations secured by liens on assets other than the voting stock or profit participating equity interests of the Credit Parties and their respective subsidiaries.

“Fitch” means Fitch Ratings, Ltd., a division of Fitch, Inc. or any successor thereto.

“Moody’s” means Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., and its successors.

“Rating Agency” means:

“S&P” means S&P Global Ratings, a division of S&P Global Inc., or any successor thereto.

As of June 30, 2023, there are no material liens on voting stock or profit participating equity interests of any subsidiary of the Credit Parties.

Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions

None of the Credit Parties shall be party to a Substantially All Merger or participate in a Substantially All Sale, unless:

For as long as any notes remain outstanding, each of the Credit Parties must be organized under the laws of a Permitted Jurisdiction.

“Credit Group” means the Credit Parties and the Credit Parties’ direct and indirect subsidiaries (to the extent of their economic ownership interest in such subsidiaries) taken as a whole.

“Substantially All Merger” means a merger or consolidation of one or more Credit Parties with or into another Person that would, in one or a series of related transactions, result in the transfer or other disposition, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

“Substantially All Sale” means a sale, assignment, transfer, lease or conveyance to any other Person in one or a series of related transactions, directly or indirectly, of all or substantially all of the properties and assets of the Credit Group to a Person that is not within the Credit Group immediately prior to such transaction.

S-33

Any Person that becomes a successor pursuant to this covenant will be substituted for the applicable Credit Party in the Indenture, with the same effect as if it had been an original party to the Indenture. As a result, the successor may exercise the rights and powers of the applicable Credit Party under the Indenture, and, except in the case of a lease, the prior Credit Party will be released from all of its liabilities and obligations under the Indenture and under the notes and Note Guarantees.

Any substitution of a successor for the applicable Credit Party might be deemed for U.S. federal income tax purposes to be an exchange of the notes for “new” notes, resulting in recognition of gain or loss for such purposes and possibly certain other adverse tax consequences to the beneficial owners of the notes. Holders should consult their own tax advisors regarding the tax consequences of any such substitution.

Listing

The Issuer intends to apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “APOS.” If the application is approved, we expect trading of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange to begin within 30 days after the notes are first issued.

Optional Redemption of the Notes

The notes may be redeemed, in whole or in part, at the Issuer’s option, during the three-month period prior to, and including, the First Call Date, and during the three-month period prior to, and including, any subsequent Reset Date, on notice given not more than 60 days, if the notes are being redeemed in full, or 45 days, if the notes are being redeemed in part, nor less than 30 days, prior to such date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

In the case of any partial redemption, selection of the notes for redemption will be made by the Trustee by such method as the Trustee deems fair and appropriate, including by lot or pro rata in accordance with DTC’s procedures. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion thereof will be issued in the name of the holder thereof upon cancellation of the original note. Notice of redemption will be mailed to each holder of notes to be redeemed not less than 30 nor more than 60 days, as applicable, prior to the date set for such redemption. This notice will include the following information: the redemption date; the redemption price (or the method of calculating such price); if less than all of the outstanding notes are to be redeemed, the identification (and, in the case of partial redemption, the respective principal amounts) of the notes to be redeemed; that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable and that interest will cease to accrue; the place or places where such notes are to be surrendered for payment of the redemption price; and the CUSIP number of the notes to be redeemed.

By no later than 11:00 a.m. (New York City time) on the redemption date, the Issuer will deposit or cause to be deposited with the Trustee or with another paying agent (or, if any of the Credit Parties is acting as the Issuer’s paying agent with respect to the notes, such Credit Party will segregate and hold in trust as provided in the Indenture) an amount of money sufficient to pay the aggregate redemption price of, and (except if the redemption date shall be an interest payment date) accrued interest on, all of the notes or the part thereof to be redeemed on that date. On the redemption date, the redemption price will become due and payable upon all of the notes to be redeemed, and interest, if any, on the notes to be redeemed will cease to accrue from and after that date. Upon surrender of any such notes for redemption, the Issuer will pay those notes surrendered at the redemption price together, if applicable, with accrued interest to the redemption date.

Any debt securities to be redeemed only in part must be surrendered at the office or agency established by the Issuer for such purpose, and the Issuer will execute, and the Trustee will authenticate and deliver to a holder without service charge, new notes of the same series and of like tenor, of any authorized denomination as requested by that holder, in a principal amount equal to and in exchange for the unredeemed portion of the principal of the notes that holder surrenders.

S-34

Tax Redemption

If a Tax Redemption Event (as defined below) occurs prior to the maturity date of the notes, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, within 120 days of the occurrence of a Tax Redemption Event, on notice given not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days, prior to such date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

“Tax Redemption Event” means that the Issuer will have received an opinion of counsel rendered by a law firm of nationally recognized standing or an opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm that, in each case, is experienced in such matters, stating that, as a result of any:

which amendment or change is enacted or effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced or which challenge is asserted against the Credit Parties or becomes publicly known on or after the original issue date of the notes, there is more than an insubstantial increase in the risk that interest accruable or payable by the Issuer on the notes is not, or within 365 days of the date of the opinion will not be, deductible by the Issuer in whole or in part, for U.S. federal income tax purposes; provided that a change of tax law under section 163(j) of the Code (“section 163(j)”) (including any amendment to section 163(j), and any amendment to or the issuance of regulations or another official administrative pronouncement under section 163(j)), shall not give rise to a “Tax Redemption Event” unless, in the opinion of counsel rendered by a law firm of nationally recognized standing or an opinion of a “Big Four” accounting firm that, in each case, is experienced in such matters, the change of tax law under section 163(j) limits, defers or prohibits the deduction of interest on the notes in a manner or to an extent different from interest on senior debt obligations of the Issuer or any Guarantor by reason of the specific characteristics of the notes.

Rating Agency Event Redemption

If a Rating Agency Event (as defined below) occurs prior to the maturity date of the notes, the Issuer may redeem the notes, in whole but not in part, at its option, within 120 days of the occurrence of a Rating Agency Event, on notice given not more than 60 days nor less than 30 days prior to such date of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 102% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.

A “Rating Agency Event” means a change to the methodology or criteria that were employed by an applicable nationally recognized statistical rating organization for purposes of assigning equity credit to securities with features similar to the notes on the date of original issuance (the “current methodology”), which change either (x) shortens the period of time during which equity credit pertaining to the notes would have been in effect had the current methodology not been changed or (y) reduces the amount of equity credit assigned to the notes as compared with the amount of equity credit that such rating agency had assigned to the notes as of the date of original issuance.

S-35

Financial Reports

For so long as Apollo Global Management, Inc. is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, the Issuer must provide (or cause its affiliates to provide) to the Trustee, unless available on the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis and Retrieval (“EDGAR”) System (or successor system), within 15 days after Apollo Global Management, Inc. files the same with the SEC, copies of the annual reports and of the information, documents and other reports (or copies of such portions of any of the foregoing as the SEC may from time to time by rules and regulations prescribe) which Apollo Global Management, Inc. may file with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. The Issuer has also agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, during any period when it is not subject to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, it will furnish to the holders of the notes and to prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

The Issuer will, or will cause its affiliates to, make the above information and reports available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request.

The Trustee shall have no liability whatsoever to determine if any reports or information have been posted on the SEC’s EDGAR System (or successor system).

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

The following shall constitute “Events of Default” under the Indenture with respect to the notes:

A default also includes, for example, a failure to pay interest when due if the Issuer does not give a timely written notice of its election to commence or continue a deferral period. If the Issuer does not give a timely written notice of its election to commence or continue a deferral period and fails to pay interest when due, any holder of notes may seek to enforce its obligation to make the missed interest payment, including through legal process. However, there is no right of acceleration.

If the Issuer gives a timely written notice of its election to commence or continue a deferral period on any interest payment date (and, if such notice continues a deferral period, the deferral period has not continued for five years), then no default arises from the Issuer’s non-payment of interest on such interest payment date.

If an Event of Default with respect to the notes shall occur under clauses (1) or (2) above, the Trustee may pursue all legal remedies available to it, including the commencement of a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums due and unpaid or the Issuer’s winding up, subject to the limitations that may exist under applicable law in bankruptcy or insolvency proceedings, but the Trustee may not, in respect of any Event of Default under clause (1) above, declare the principal amount of any outstanding Notes to be due and payable.

“Insignificant Guarantor” means a Guarantor (or a group of Guarantors taken together) that would not, on a combined and consolidated basis and taken as a whole together with all then-existing Non-Guarantor Entities designated pursuant to clause (2) of the definition of Non-Guarantor Entity, as set forth above under the caption “—Guarantees,” constitute a “significant subsidiary” (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X under the Securities Act or any successor provision) of the Issuer.

S-36

The Trustee, subject to its duties during a default to act with the required standard of care, may require indemnification by the holders, reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, with respect to which a default has occurred before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the Indenture at the request of the holders. Subject to such right of indemnification and to certain other limitations, the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding notes may direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the Trustee, or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee with respect to the notes; provided that such direction shall not be in conflict with any rule of law or with the Indenture and the Trustee may take any other action deemed proper by the Trustee which is not inconsistent with such direction.

No holder of notes may institute any action against the Credit Parties under the Indenture or the notes (except actions for payment of overdue principal of (and premium, if any) or interest on such notes in accordance with its terms) unless (i) the holder has given to the Trustee written notice of an Event of Default and of the continuance thereof with respect to the notes specifying an Event of Default, as required under the Indenture, (ii) the holders of at least 25% in aggregate principal amount of outstanding notes under the Indenture shall have requested the Trustee to institute such action and offered to the Trustee indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it against the costs, expenses and liabilities to be incurred in compliance with such request, (iii) the Trustee shall not have instituted such action within 60 days of such request and (iv) no direction inconsistent with such written request has been given to the Trustee during such 60-day period by the holders of a majority in principal amount of the notes.

The Issuer is required to furnish the Trustee annually a statement by certain of its officers to the effect that, to the best of their knowledge, the Issuer is not in default in the fulfillment of any of its obligations under the Indenture or, if there has been a default in the fulfillment of any such obligation, specifying each such default.

Agreement to Certain Tax Treatment

Each beneficial owner of the notes will, by acquiring a beneficial interest therein, be deemed to have agreed to treat the notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

Except as prohibited by the Indenture, if the Issuer deposits with the Trustee sufficient money or United States government obligations, or both (in the case of United States government obligations or a combination of money and United States government obligations, in an amount deemed sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants), to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on, the notes on the scheduled due dates therefor, then at the Issuer’s option the Issuer may be discharged from certain of its obligations with respect to the notes or elect that its failure to comply with certain restrictive covenants, including those described in “—Consolidation, Merger, Sale of Assets and Other Transactions,” “—Limitations on Liens” and the requirement to add Additional Guarantors as described in “—Guarantees” will not be deemed to be or result in an Event of Default under the notes.

Modification and Waiver

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may modify the Indenture and the notes in a manner that affects the interests or rights of the holders of notes with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the notes at the time outstanding. However, the Indenture will require the consent of each holder of notes affected by any modification which would:

S-37

The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee may also modify and amend the Indenture and the notes without the consent of any holders of notes to:

The consent of the holders is not necessary under the Indenture to approve the particular form of any proposed amendment. It is sufficient if such consent approves the substance of the proposed amendment.

S-38

Governing Law

The Indenture, notes and Note Guarantees will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of New York.

Trustee

The Trustee under the Indenture will be U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association.

S-39

CERTAIN U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences generally applicable, as of the date hereof, to U.S. holders and non-U.S. holders (each as defined below and collectively referred to as “holders”) of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes. This summary deals only with notes that are held as capital assets by a holder who acquires the notes upon original issuance at their initial offering price.

This summary is based upon provisions of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and regulations, rulings and judicial decisions as of the date hereof. Those authorities may be changed, perhaps retroactively, so as to result in U.S. federal income tax consequences different from those summarized below. This summary does not address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxes and does not deal with tax considerations that may be relevant to holders in light of their personal circumstances, nor does it address all of the U.S. federal income tax consequences applicable to holders of notes that are subject to special treatment under the U.S. federal income tax laws, such as banks or other financial institutions, foreign governments or international organizations, dealers in securities or currencies, tax-exempt entities, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, insurance companies, persons holding notes as part of a hedging, integrated or conversion transaction or a straddle, traders in securities that elect to use a mark-to-market method of accounting for their securities holdings, persons required to accelerate the recognition of an item of gross income with respect to the notes as a result of such income being recognized on an applicable financial statement, U.S. holders with a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, charitable remainder unit trusts, hybrid entities, common trust funds, United States expatriates and former long-term United States residents, “controlled foreign corporations,” “passive foreign investment companies” or persons liable for the alternative minimum tax. In addition, this discussion does not address any aspect of state, local or non-U.S. tax law. We cannot assure you that a change in law will not alter significantly the tax considerations that we describe in this summary.

A “U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes that is for U.S. federal income tax purposes any of the following:

A “non-U.S. holder” means a beneficial owner of the notes (other than a partnership or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) that is not a U.S. holder.

If a partnership (or other entity or arrangement treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) holds the notes, the tax treatment of a partner (or other owner) will generally depend upon the status of the partner (or other owner) and the activities of the partnership. If you are a partner of a partnership holding the notes, you should consult your tax advisors.

If you are considering the purchase of notes, you are urged to consult your own tax advisors concerning the particular U.S. federal income tax consequences to you of the purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes, as well as the consequences to you arising under other U.S. federal tax laws (such as estate and gift taxes) and the laws of any other taxing jurisdiction.

S-40

Classification of the Notes

The determination of whether a security should be classified as indebtedness or equity for U.S. federal income tax purposes requires a judgment based on all relevant facts and circumstances. There is no statutory, judicial or administrative authority that directly addresses the U.S. federal income tax treatment of securities similar to the notes. Based upon an analysis of the relevant facts and circumstances, under applicable law as of the issue date of the notes, the notes will be treated as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, there can be no assurance that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) or a court will agree with such treatment. No ruling is being sought from the IRS on any of the issues discussed herein.

We agree, and by acquiring an interest in a note each beneficial owner of a note agrees, to treat the notes as indebtedness for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and the remainder of this discussion assumes such treatment.

Possible Alternative Treatments

We may be obligated to pay amounts in excess of the stated interest or principal on the notes, including as described under “Description of the Notes—Rating Agency Event Redemption.” These potential payments may implicate the provisions of U.S. Treasury regulations relating to “contingent payment debt instruments.” According to the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, certain contingencies will not cause a debt instrument to be treated as a contingent payment debt instrument if such contingencies, as of the date of issuance, are remote or incidental. We intend to take the position that the foregoing contingencies are remote or incidental, and, accordingly, we do not intend to treat the notes as contingent payment debt instruments. Our position that such contingencies are remote or incidental is binding on you, unless you disclose your contrary position in the manner required by applicable U.S. Treasury regulations. Our position is not, however, binding on the IRS, and if the IRS were to successfully challenge this position, you might be required to accrue ordinary interest income on the notes at a rate in excess of the stated interest rate, and to treat as ordinary interest income (rather than capital gain) any gain realized on the taxable disposition of a note. The remainder of this discussion assumes that the notes will not be treated as contingent payment debt instruments. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the possible application of the contingent payment debt instrument rules to the notes.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply if you are a U.S. holder.

Stated Interest. Generally, subject to the following paragraph, any stated interest payments on a note to a you will be taxable as ordinary interest income at the time they accrue or are received, in accordance with your regular method of tax accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

Original Issue Discount. Subject to the discussion below, it is expected and assumed for purposes of this discussion that the notes will not be issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. U.S. Treasury regulations provide that the possibility that interest on the notes might be deferred would generally result in the notes being treated as issued with OID, unless the likelihood of such deferral is remote. We believe that the likelihood of our exercising the option to defer payment of stated interest is remote within the meaning of the U.S. Treasury regulations and therefore that the possibility of such deferral will not result in the notes being treated as issued with OID. Accordingly, interest paid on the notes should be taxable to you as described above under “—Stated Interest.”

However, no rulings or other interpretations have been issued by the IRS that address the meaning of the term “remote,” as used in the applicable U.S. Treasury regulations, and there can be no assurance that the IRS or a court will agree with our position. If the possibility of interest deferral were determined not to be remote, or if interest were in fact deferred, the notes would be treated as issued with OID at the time of issuance, or reissued

S-41

with OID at the time of such deferral, as the case may be, and all stated interest, or if interest is in fact deferred all stated interest due after such deferral, would be treated as OID. Under the OID rules, regardless of your regular method of accounting for U.S. federal income tax purposes, you will be required to include in taxable income (as ordinary income) for each taxable year, using a constant yield method, the daily portion of OID, if any, that accrues on the notes, for each day in such taxable year on which you own the notes. Thus, you would be required to include OID in income in advance of the receipt of the cash to which such OID is attributable, and actual payments of stated interest would not be reported separately as taxable income.

Sale, Exchange, Retirement or Other Taxable Disposition. Your adjusted tax basis in a note will, in general, be your cost for that note, and if the note is treated as having been issued with OID at the time of issuance or as having been reissued with OID after the exercise of our interest deferral option, such adjusted tax basis will also be increased by the amount of any OID previously included in your gross income with respect to the note and decreased by any payments received on the note since and including the date that the note was deemed to be issued or reissued with OID. You will generally recognize capital gain or loss on the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes in an amount equal to the difference between the amount realized from such sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition and your adjusted tax basis in such notes. Assuming the notes are not treated as issued or reissued with OID (as described above), the amount realized will not include any amounts attributable to accrued but unpaid interest (which will be taxed as described above). Any gain or loss you recognize will be long-term capital gain or loss if the holding period for the notes exceeds one year at the time of disposition. Long-term capital gain of non-corporate U.S. holders (including individuals) is eligible for reduced rates of taxation. The ability to deduct capital losses is subject to limitations.

Additional Tax on Passive Income. Certain U.S. holders that are individuals, trusts, or estates will be required to pay a 3.8% tax on, among other things, interest (including OID) and capital gain from the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes. You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding the application of this tax to your ownership of the notes.

Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders

The following is a summary of certain U.S. federal income tax consequences that will apply if you are a non-U.S. holder.

U.S. Federal Withholding Tax. Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (“FATCA”) below, U.S. federal withholding tax will not apply to any payment of interest (which for purposes of this discussion of non-U.S. holders, includes OID) on the notes under the “portfolio interest rule;” provided that:

S-42

If you cannot satisfy the requirements described above, payments of interest made to you will be subject to a 30% U.S. federal withholding tax, unless you provide the applicable withholding agent with a properly executed:

U.S. Federal Income Tax. If you are engaged in a trade or business in the United States and interest on the notes is effectively connected with the conduct of that trade or business (and, if required by an applicable income tax treaty, is attributable to a permanent establishment in the United States), then you will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on that interest on a net income basis (although you will be exempt from the 30% U.S. federal withholding tax; provided the certification requirements discussed above under “—U.S. Federal Withholding Tax” are satisfied) in the same manner as if you were a U.S. holder. In addition, if you are a foreign corporation, you may be subject to a branch profits tax equal to 30% (or lower applicable income tax treaty rate) of your effectively connected earnings and profits, subject to adjustments. For this purpose, interest on the notes will be included in effectively connected earnings and profits if the interest is effectively connected with your conduct of a trade or business in the United States.

Subject to the discussion of backup withholding and FATCA below, any gain realized on the disposition of a note generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax unless:

Information Reporting and Backup Withholding

U.S. Holders. Payments of interest on the notes, proceeds from the sale, exchange, retirement or other taxable disposition of the notes, or accruals of OID on the notes generally will be subject to information reporting requirements, unless you are an exempt recipient and, when required, demonstrate this fact. Any such interest payments or proceeds may also be subject to backup withholding unless you:

If you are required to and do not provide a correct taxpayer identification number, you may be subject to penalties imposed by the IRS.

Non-U.S. Holders. Interest (including OID) paid to you and the amount of tax, if any, withheld with respect to those payments generally will be reported to the IRS. Copies of the information returns reporting such interest payments and any withholding may also be made available to the tax authorities in the country in which you reside under the provisions of an applicable income tax treaty.

S-43

In general, you will not be subject to backup withholding with respect to payments on the notes that we make to you; provided that the applicable withholding agent does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code, and such applicable withholding agent has received from you the statement described above in the fifth bullet point under “—Certain U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for Non-U.S. Holders—U.S. Federal Withholding Tax.”

Information reporting and, depending on the circumstances, backup withholding will apply to the proceeds of a sale or other disposition (including retirement or redemption) of notes within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related financial intermediaries, unless you certify under penalties of perjury that you are a non-U.S. holder (and the payor does not have actual knowledge or reason to know that you are a United States person as defined under the Code), or you otherwise establish an exemption.

U.S. Holders and Non-U.S. Holders. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a refund or a credit against your U.S. federal income tax liability; provided the required information is timely furnished to the IRS.

Additional Withholding Requirements

Pursuant to FATCA, foreign financial institutions (which include most foreign hedge funds, private equity funds, mutual funds, securitization vehicles and any other investment vehicles) and certain other foreign entities must comply with information reporting and due diligence requirements with respect to their U.S. account holders and investors or confront a withholding tax on U.S. source payments made to such foreign financial institutions or other foreign entities (whether received as a beneficial owner or as an intermediary for another party). More specifically, a foreign financial institution or other foreign entity that does not comply with the FATCA requirements will generally be subject to a 30% withholding tax with respect to any “withholdable payments.” For this purpose, withholdable payments generally include U.S. source payments, including payments of interest (including OID), otherwise subject to nonresident withholding tax (e.g., U.S. source interest). Pursuant to proposed U.S. Treasury regulations (upon which taxpayers may rely), this withholding obligation would not apply to gross proceeds from the sale or disposition of property subject to FATCA withholding.

You are urged to consult your own tax advisors regarding FATCA (including the effects of any intergovernmental agreements) and whether it may be relevant to your purchase, ownership and disposition of the notes.

S-44

UNDERWRITING (CONFLICTS OF INTEREST)

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., UBS Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC are joint book-running managers for the offering and are acting as representatives of each of the underwriters named below. Subject to the terms and conditions of the underwriting agreement dated the date of this prospectus supplement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase from us, and we have agreed to sell to the underwriters, the principal amount of notes set forth opposite their names below:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the underwriting agreement, the underwriters have agreed, severally and not jointly, to purchase all of the notes sold under the underwriting agreement, if any of these notes are purchased. If an underwriter defaults, the underwriting agreement provides that the purchase commitments of the nondefaulting underwriters may be increased or the underwriting agreement may be terminated.

The underwriters are offering the notes, subject to prior sale, when, as and if issued to and accepted by them, subject to approval of legal matters by their counsel, including the validity of the notes, and other conditions contained in the underwriting agreement, such as the receipt by the underwriters of officer’s certificates and legal opinions. The underwriters reserve the right to withdraw, cancel or modify offers to the public and to reject orders in whole or in part.

The notes sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the public offering price set forth on the cover page of this prospectus supplement. Any notes sold by the underwriters to dealers may be sold at that price less a concession not in excess of $0.50 per note with respect to retail sales and $0.30 per note with respect to institutional sales. The underwriters may allow, and the dealers may reallow, a discount not in excess of $0.45 per note with respect to retail sales and none for institutional sales to other dealers. If all the notes are not sold at the public offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

The following table shows the underwriting discount to be paid to the underwriters by us.

We estimate that our total expenses for this offering will be approximately $2.8 million (excluding the underwriting discounts and commissions).

S-45

We have agreed to indemnify the several underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

Prior to this offering, there has been no public market for the notes being offered. We intend to apply to list the notes on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “APOS.” If approved, we expect trading of the notes on the New York Stock Exchange to begin within 30 days after the original issue date.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell notes in the open market. These transactions may include short sales, stabilizing transactions and purchases to cover positions created by short sales. Short sales involve the sale by the underwriters of a greater number of notes than they are required to purchase in the offering. Stabilizing transactions consist of various bids for or purchases of the notes made by the underwriters in the open market prior to the completion of the offering.

The underwriters also may impose a penalty bid. This occurs when one of the representatives repays to the underwriters a portion of the underwriting discount received by it because the representatives have repurchased notes sold by or for the account of such underwriter in stabilizing or short covering transactions.

These activities by the underwriters, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the market price of the notes. As a result, the price of the notes may be higher than the price that otherwise might exist in the open market. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and if these activities are commenced, they may be discontinued by the underwriters at any time. These transactions may be effected in the over-the-counter market or otherwise.

The Issuer and the Guarantors have agreed in the underwriting agreement that during the period beginning on the date of this prospectus supplement and continuing to, and including, the date 30 days after the date hereof, they will not, without the prior written consent of the representatives, offer, sell, contract to sell or otherwise dispose of any debt securities issued or guaranteed by us or the Guarantors.

The underwriters and their respective affiliates are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include sales and trading, commercial and investment banking, advisory, investment management, investment research, principal investment, hedging, market making, brokerage and other financial and non-financial activities and services. Certain of the underwriters and their affiliates have, from time to time, performed, and may in the future perform, various financial advisory and commercial and investment banking services for us and our subsidiaries, for which they received or will receive customary fees and expenses.

In addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments, including acting as counterparties to certain derivative and hedging arrangements, and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates. If any of the underwriters or their affiliates have a lending relationship with us, certain of those underwriters or their affiliates routinely hedge, and certain other of those underwriters or their affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policies. Typically, these underwriters and their affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions which consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities, including potentially the notes offered hereby. Any such credit default swaps or short positions could adversely affect future trading prices of the notes offered under this prospectus supplement. The underwriters and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and may, at any time, hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments.

S-46

Affiliates of certain of the underwriters are lenders, and in some cases agents or managers for the lenders, under certain of our and our affiliates’ debt agreements. In particular, affiliates of Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC, BofA Securities, Inc., UBS Securities LLC, Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC, RBC Capital Markets, LLC, Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. and SG Americas Securities, LLC are lenders or agents under our existing credit facilities.

Certain of the underwriters or their affiliates may hold shares of AAM Preferred Stock that we intend to redeem in full with the proceeds of this offering, in which case they will receive a portion of the proceeds of this offering.

Conflicts of Interest

Apollo Global Securities, LLC is an indirect subsidiary of AGM. Rule 5121 imposes certain requirements on a FINRA member participating in the public offering of securities of an issuer if there is a conflict of interest and/or if that issuer controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with, the FINRA member. As a result of the above, Apollo Global Securities, LLC will be deemed to have a “conflict of interest” within the meaning of Rule 5121. Accordingly, this offering is being made in compliance with the requirements of Rule 5121. Apollo Global Securities, LLC will not sell any of our securities to a discretionary account unless it has received specific written approval from the account holder in accordance with Rule 5121. The appointment of a “qualified independent underwriter” is not necessary in connection with this offering as the securities offered are investment grade rated securities.

Alternative Settlement Cycle

It is expected that delivery of the notes will be made against payment therefor on or about August 23, 2023, which is the fifth business day following the date hereof (such settlement cycle being referred to as “T+5”). Pursuant to Rule 15c6-1 under the Exchange Act, trades in the secondary market generally are required to settle in two business days unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, purchasers who wish to trade the notes on any date prior to two business days before delivery thereafter will be required, by virtue of the fact that the notes initially will settle in T+5, to specify alternative settlement arrangements to prevent a failed settlement and should consult their own advisor.

Notices to Certain International Prospective Investors

The notes are being offered for sale in the United States and certain jurisdictions outside the United States in which such offer and sale is permitted.

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area

The notes are not intended to be offered, sold or otherwise made available to and should not be offered, sold or otherwise made available to any retail investor in the European Economic Area (the “EEA”). For these purposes, a retail investor means a person who is one (or more) of: (i) a retail client as defined in point (11) of Article 4(1) of Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, “MiFID II”); (ii) a customer within the meaning of Directive (EU) 2016/97, where that customer would not qualify as a professional client as defined in point (10) of Article 4(1) of MiFID II; or (iii) not a “qualified investor” as defined in Regulation (EU) 2017/1129 (as amended, the “Prospectus Regulation”). Consequently, no key information document required by Regulation (EU) No 1286/2014 (as amended, the “PRIIPs Regulation”) for offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to retail investors in the EEA has been prepared and therefore offering or selling the notes or otherwise making them available to any retail investor in the EEA may be unlawful under the PRIIPs Regulation.

publish a prospectus for offers of the notes. This prospectus supplement is not to be considered a prospectus for the purposes of the Prospectus Regulation and any relevant implementing measure in each member state of the EEA.

This prospectus supplement has been prepared on the basis that any offer of the notes in the United Kingdom will be made pursuant to an exemption under the UK Prospectus Regulation from a requirement to publish a prospectus for offers of notes.

To understand the terms of the securities offered by this prospectus, you should carefully read this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement. You should also read the documents referred to under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information” for information on us and the business conducted by us.

This prospectus is part of a registration statement on Form S-3 that we filed with the SEC using a “shelf” registration process.

In addition, the selling stockholders may offer and sell shares of our Common Stock from time to time.

The securities may be sold for U.S. dollars, foreign-denominated currency or currency units. Amounts payable with respect to any securities may be payable in U.S. dollars or foreign-denominated currency or currency units as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement.

This prospectus provides you with a general description of the securities we may offer. Each time we or the selling stockholders offer securities, we will provide you with a prospectus supplement that will describe the specific amounts, prices and terms of the securities being offered.

These statements include, but are not limited to, discussions related to AGM’s expectations regarding the performance of its business, liquidity and capital resources and the other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis.

Although management believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations will prove to have been correct.

The other subsidiaries of the Company (the “non-guarantor subsidiaries”) are not registering guarantees of the Company’s debt securities. For a brief description of the general terms of the debt securities that we may offer and the guarantees that the guarantor subsidiaries may offer, see the information under the headings “Description of Debt Securities” and “Description of Guarantees” in this prospectus.

The following tables present summarized financial information of Apollo Global Management, Inc., as the issuer of the debt securities, and the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis after elimination of intercompany transactions and balances within the guarantor subsidiaries and equity in the earnings from and investments in any non-guarantor subsidiary. As used herein, “obligor group” means Apollo Global Management, Inc., as the issuer of the debt securities, and the guarantor subsidiaries on a combined basis. The summarized financial information is provided in accordance with the reporting requirements of Rule 13-01 under SEC Regulation S-X for the obligor group and is not intended to present the financial position or results of operations of the obligor group in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles as such principles are in effect in the United States.

The following are transactions of the obligor group with non-guarantor subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2022 (in millions):

RISK FACTORS

Any investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the specific risks described in the 2022 10-K, and the various risk factors incorporated by reference in the applicable prospectus supplement, together with all the other information contained in the applicable prospectus supplement or incorporated by reference in this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement. See “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information.” These risk factors may be amended, supplemented or superseded from time to time in the applicable prospectus supplement and by other reports we file with the SEC in the future. If any of these risks were to occur, the Company’s business, financial condition or operating results could be harmed, which may reduce our ability to pay dividends on or redeem shares of our capital stock. In addition, the trading price of our securities may be adversely affected. You may lose all or part of your investment.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We intend to use the net proceeds we receive from the sale of the securities offered by this prospectus for general corporate purposes, unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement. General corporate purposes may include additions to working capital, capital expenditures, repayment of debt, the financing of possible acquisitions and investments or stock repurchases.

We will not receive any proceeds from the resale of shares of our Common Stock by selling stockholders under this prospectus or any prospectus supplement.

DESCRIPTION OF DEBT SECURITIES

We may issue debt securities either separately, or together with, or upon the conversion or exercise of or in exchange for, other securities described in this prospectus. The following description of the terms of our senior debt securities and subordinated debt securities (together, the “debt securities”) sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the debt securities to which any prospectus supplement may relate. Unless otherwise noted, the general terms and provisions of our debt securities discussed below apply to both our senior debt securities and our subordinated debt securities. The particular terms of any debt securities and the extent, if any, to which such general provisions will not apply to such debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities.

Our debt securities may be issued from time to time in one or more series and may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries. The senior debt securities will be issued from time to time in series under an indenture between us, one or more guarantors, if any, and a trustee named therein, as Senior Indenture Trustee (as amended or supplemented from time to time, the “senior indenture”). The subordinated debt securities will be issued from time to time under a subordinated indenture to be entered into between us, one or more guarantors, if any, and a trustee named therein, as Subordinated Indenture Trustee (the “subordinated indenture” and, together with the senior indenture, the “indentures”). The Senior Indenture Trustee and the Subordinated Indenture Trustee are both referred to, individually, as the “Trustee.” The senior debt securities will constitute our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and the subordinated debt securities will constitute our unsecured and subordinated obligations. A detailed description of the subordination provisions is provided below under the caption “—Ranking and Subordination—Subordination.” In general, however, if we declare bankruptcy, holders of the senior debt securities will be paid in full before the holders of subordinated debt securities will receive anything.

The statements set forth below are brief summaries of certain provisions contained in the indentures, which summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the indentures, forms of which are filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. Terms used herein that are otherwise not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the indentures. Such defined terms shall be incorporated herein by reference.

The indentures will not limit the amount of debt securities which may be issued under the applicable indenture and debt securities may be issued under the applicable indenture up to the aggregate principal amount which may be authorized from time to time by us. Any such limit applicable to a particular series will be specified in the prospectus supplement relating to that series.

The applicable prospectus supplement will disclose the terms of each series of debt securities in respect to which such prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

10

We may issue debt securities of any series at various times and we may reopen any series for further issuances from time to time without notice to existing holders of securities of that series.

Some of the debt securities may be issued as original issue discount debt securities. Original issue discount debt securities bear no interest or bear interest at below-market rates. These are sold at a discount below their stated principal amount. If we issue these securities, the applicable prospectus supplement will describe any special tax, accounting or other information which we think is important. We encourage you to consult with your own competent tax and financial advisors on these important matters.

Unless we specify otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the covenants contained in the indentures will not provide special protection to holders of debt securities if we enter into a highly leveraged transaction, recapitalization or restructuring.

11

Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, interest on outstanding debt securities will be paid to holders of record on the date that is 15 days prior to the date such interest is to be paid, or, if not a business day, the next preceding business day. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, debt securities will be issued in fully registered form only. Unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, the principal amount of the debt securities will be payable at the corporate trust office of the Trustee in New York, New York. The debt securities may be presented for transfer or exchange at such office unless otherwise specified in the applicable prospectus supplement, subject to the limitations provided in the applicable indenture, without any service charge, but we may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charges payable in connection therewith.

Guarantees

Our payment obligations under any series of the debt securities may be guaranteed by one or more of our subsidiaries. The guarantors of any series of guaranteed debt securities may differ from the guarantors of any other series of guaranteed debt securities. In the event we issue a series of guaranteed debt securities, the specific guarantors of the debt securities of that series will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement and a description of some of the terms of guarantees of those debt securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of guaranteed debt securities, each guarantor of the debt securities of such series will fully and unconditionally, jointly and severally, guarantee the due and punctual payment of the principal of, and premium, if any, and interest, if any, on and any other amounts payable with respect to, each debt security of such series and the due and punctual performance of all of our other obligations under the applicable indenture with respect to the debt securities of such series, all in accordance with the terms of such debt securities and the applicable indenture. If a series of debt securities is so guaranteed by any of our subsidiaries, such subsidiaries will execute an indenture, a supplemental indenture, or notation of guarantee as further evidence of their guarantee. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any guarantee by our subsidiaries or any other persons.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, unless otherwise provided in the prospectus supplement relating to a series of guaranteed debt securities, the applicable indenture may contain provisions to the effect that the obligations of each guarantor under its guarantee may be limited to the maximum amount that will not result in such guarantee obligations constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under federal or state law, after giving effect to all other contingent and fixed liabilities of that subsidiary and any collections from or payments made by or on behalf of any other guarantor in respect to its obligations under its guarantee.

Ranking and Subordination

Ranking

The senior debt securities will be our unsecured, senior obligations, and will rank equally with our other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations. Any guarantees of the senior debt securities will be unsecured and senior obligations of each of the guarantors, and will rank equally with all other unsecured and unsubordinated obligations of such guarantor. The subordinated debt securities will be our unsecured, subordinated obligations and the guarantees of the subordinated debt securities will be unsecured and subordinated obligations of each of the guarantors.

The debt securities and the related guarantees will effectively rank junior in right of payment to any of our or the guarantors’ existing and future secured obligations to the extent of the value of the assets securing such obligations. The debt securities and the guarantees will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future liabilities, including indebtedness and trade payables, of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Unless otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities, the indentures will not limit the amount of indebtedness or other liabilities that can be incurred by our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

12

Furthermore, we are a holding company with no material business operations. Our ability to service our respective indebtedness and other obligations is dependent primarily upon the earnings and cash flow of our subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment to us of such earnings or cash flow. In addition, certain indebtedness of our subsidiaries contains, and future agreements relating to any indebtedness of our subsidiaries may contain, significant restrictions on the ability of our subsidiaries to pay dividends or otherwise make distributions to us.

Subordination

If issued, the indebtedness evidenced by the subordinated debt securities will be subordinate to the prior payment in full of all our Senior Indebtedness (as defined below). During the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of any default in the payment of principal, premium, interest or any other payment due on any of our Senior Indebtedness, we may not make any payment of principal of, or premium, if any, or interest on the subordinated debt securities. In addition, upon any payment or distribution of our assets upon any dissolution, winding up, liquidation or reorganization, the payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, and interest on the subordinated debt securities will be subordinated to the extent provided in the subordinated indenture in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all our Senior Indebtedness. Because of this subordination, if we dissolve or otherwise liquidate, holders of our subordinated debt securities may receive less, ratably, than holders of our Senior Indebtedness. The subordination provisions do not prevent the occurrence of an event of default under the subordinated indenture.

The subordination provisions also apply in the same way to each guarantor with respect to the Senior Indebtedness of such guarantor.

The term “Senior Indebtedness” of a person means with respect to such person the principal of, premium, if any, interest on, and any other payment due pursuant to any of the following, whether outstanding on the date of the subordinated indenture or incurred by that person in the future:

unless, in the case of any particular indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding, the instrument or lease creating or evidencing it or the assumption or guarantee relating to it expressly provides that such indebtedness, lease, renewal, extension or refunding is not superior in right of payment to the subordinated debt securities. Our senior debt securities, and any unsubordinated guarantee obligations of ours or any guarantor to which we and the guarantors are a party, including the guarantors’ guarantees of our debt securities and other indebtedness for borrowed money, constitute Senior Indebtedness for purposes of the subordinated indenture.

13

Pursuant to the subordinated indenture, the subordinated indenture may not be amended, at any time, to alter the subordination provisions of any outstanding subordinated debt securities without the consent of the requisite holders of each outstanding series or class of Senior Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with the instrument governing such Senior Indebtedness) that would be adversely affected.

Certain Covenants

Limitation on Consolidation, Merger, Conveyance or Transfer on Certain Terms

For so long as any debt securities are outstanding, except as described in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to such debt securities, the Company will not consolidate with or merge into any other Person or convey or transfer its properties and assets substantially as an entirety to any Person, unless:

(1) the Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or the Person that acquires by conveyance or transfer the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety shall be organized and existing under the laws of the United States of America or any State or the District of Columbia, and will expressly assume, by supplemental indenture, executed and delivered to the Trustee, in form reasonably satisfactory to the Trustee, the due and punctual payment of the principal of (and premium, if any) and interest on all the debt securities and the performance of every covenant of the applicable indenture (as supplemented from time to time) on the part of the Company to be performed or observed;

(2) immediately after giving effect to such transaction, no Event of Default, and no event which, after notice or lapse of time, or both, would become an Event of Default, shall have happened and be continuing; and

(3) we have delivered to the Trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel each stating that such consolidation, merger, conveyance or transfer and such supplemental indenture comply with this covenant and that all conditions precedent provided for relating to such transaction have been complied with.

Upon any consolidation or merger, or any conveyance or transfer of the properties and assets of the Company substantially as an entirety as set forth above, the successor Person formed by such consolidation or into which the Company is merged or to which such conveyance or transfer is made shall succeed to, and be substituted for, and may exercise every right and power of the Company under the applicable indenture with the same effect as if such successor had been named as the Company in the applicable indenture. In the event of any such conveyance or transfer, the Company as the predecessor shall be discharged from all obligations and covenants under the applicable indenture and the debt securities issued under such indenture and may be dissolved, wound up or liquidated at any time thereafter.

Except as described in this prospectus and any applicable prospectus supplement, the indentures and the debt securities do not contain any covenants or other provisions designed to afford holders of debt securities protection in the event of a recapitalization or highly leveraged transaction involving the Company.

Any covenants of the Company pertaining to a series of debt securities will be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement.

Certain Definitions

The following are certain of the terms defined in the indentures:

“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles as such principles are in effect in the United States as of the date of the applicable indenture.

14

“Person” means any individual, corporation, limited liability company, partnership, joint venture, association, joint-stock company, trust, unincorporated organization or government or any agency or political subdivision thereof.

“Security Register” means the register or registers we shall keep or cause to be kept, in which, we shall provide for the registration of debt securities, or of debt securities of a particular series, and of transfers of debt securities or of debt securities of such series.

“Significant Subsidiary” means any Subsidiary which would be a “significant subsidiary” as defined in Article 1, Rule 1-02 of Regulation S-X, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act, as in effect on the date of the applicable indenture.

“Subsidiary” means, with respect to any Person, any corporation more than 50% of the voting stock of which is owned directly or indirectly by such Person, and any partnership, association, joint venture or other entity in which such Person owns more than 50% of the equity interests or has the power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other governing body.

Defeasance

Except as otherwise set forth in the prospectus supplement relating to the debt securities, each indenture will provide that we, at our option,

(a) will be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of any series of debt securities (except in each case for certain obligations to register the transfer or exchange of debt securities, replace stolen, lost or mutilated senior debt securities, maintain paying agencies and hold moneys for payment in trust), or

(b) need not comply with the covenants described above under “—Certain Covenants,” and any other restrictive covenants described in a prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities, the guarantors will be released from the guarantees and certain Events of Default (as defined below) (other than those arising out of the failure to pay interest or principal on the debt securities of a particular series and certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency and reorganization) will no longer constitute Events of Default with respect to such series of debt securities,

in each case if we deposit with the Trustee, in trust, money or the equivalent in securities of the government which issued the currency in which the debt securities are denominated or government agencies backed by the full faith and credit of such government, or a combination thereof, which through the payment of interest thereon and principal thereof in accordance with their terms will provide money in an amount sufficient to pay all the principal (including any mandatory sinking fund payments) of, and interest on, such series on the dates such payments are due in accordance with the terms of such series.

To exercise any such option, we are required, among other things, to deliver to the Trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the deposit and related defeasance would not cause the beneficial owners of the debt securities of such series to recognize income, gain or loss for U.S. Federal income tax purposes and, in the case of a discharge pursuant to clause (a) above, such opinion of counsel must be based on a change in U.S. Federal income tax law or a ruling to such effect received from or published by the United States Internal Revenue Service.

In addition, we are required to deliver to the Trustee an officers’ certificate stating that such deposit was not made by us with the intent of preferring the holders over other creditors of ours or with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of ours or others.

Events of Default, Notice and Waiver

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, each indenture will provide that, if an Event of Default specified therein with respect to any series of debt securities issued thereunder shall have

15

happened and be continuing, either the Trustee thereunder or the holders of 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of such series (or 33 1/3% in aggregate principal amount of all outstanding debt securities under such indenture, in the case of certain Events of Default affecting all series of debt securities issued under such indenture) may declare the principal of all the debt securities of such series to be due and payable.

“Events of Default” in respect of any series will be defined in the indentures as being:

Any additions, deletions or other changes to the Events of Default which will be applicable to a series of debt securities will be described in the prospectus supplement relating to such series of debt securities.

Each indenture will provide that the Trustee thereunder will, within 90 days after the occurrence of a default with respect to the debt securities of any series issued under such indenture, give to the holders of the debt securities of such series notice of all uncured and unwaived defaults known to it; provided, however, that, except in the case of default in the payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the debt securities of such series, the Trustee thereunder will be protected in withholding such notice if it in good faith determines that the withholding of such notice is in the interests of the holders of the debt securities of such series. The term “default” for the purpose of this provision means any event which is, or after notice or lapse of time or both would become, an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of such series.

Each indenture will contain provisions entitling the Trustee under such indenture, subject to the duty of the Trustee during an Event of Default to act with the required standard of care, to be indemnified to its reasonable satisfaction by the holders of the debt securities before proceeding to exercise any right or power under the applicable indenture at the request of holders of such debt securities.

Each indenture will provide that the holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series issued under such indenture may direct the time, method and place of conducting proceedings for remedies available to the Trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the Trustee in respect of such series, subject to certain conditions.

Except as otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, in certain cases, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may waive, on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of such series, any past default or Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of such series except, among other things, a default not theretofore cured in payment of the principal of, or premium, if any, or interest, if any, on any of the senior debt securities of such series or payment of any sinking or purchase fund or analogous obligations with respect to such senior debt securities.

Each indenture will include a covenant that we will file annually with the Trustee a certificate of no default or specifying any default that exists.

16

Modification of the Indentures

Except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, we and the Trustee may, without the consent of the holders of the debt securities issued under the indenture governing such debt securities, enter into indentures supplemental to the applicable indenture for, among others, one or more of the following purposes:

(1) to evidence the succession of another Person to the Company or any guarantor, and the assumption by such successor of the Company’s or any guarantor’s obligations under the applicable indenture and the debt securities of any series or the guarantees relating thereto;

(2) to add to the covenants of the Company or any guarantor, or to surrender any rights or powers of the Company or any guarantor for the benefit of the holders of debt securities of any or all series issued under such indenture;

(3) to cure any ambiguity, to correct or supplement any provision in the applicable indenture which may be inconsistent with any other provision therein, or to make any other provisions with respect to matters or questions arising under such indenture;

(4) to add to the applicable indenture any provisions that may be expressly permitted by the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended, or “the Act,” excluding the provisions referred to in Sections 316(a)(2) and 316(b) of the Act as in effect at the date as of which the applicable indenture was executed or any corresponding provision in any similar federal statute hereafter enacted;

(5) to establish the form or terms of any series of debt securities to be issued under the applicable indenture, to provide for the issuance of any series of debt securities and/or to add to the rights of the holders of debt securities;

(6) to evidence and provide for the acceptance of any successor Trustee with respect to one or more series of debt securities or to add or change any of the provisions of the applicable indenture as shall be necessary to facilitate the administration of the trusts thereunder by one or more trustees in accordance with the applicable indenture;

(7) to provide any additional Events of Default;

(8) to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities; provided that the uncertificated securities are issued in registered form for certain federal tax purposes;

(9) to provide for the terms and conditions of converting those debt securities that are convertible into shares of Common Stock or another security;

(10) to secure any series of debt securities;

(11) to add guarantors in respect of the debt securities;

(12) to make any change necessary to comply with any requirement of the SEC in connection with the qualification of the applicable indenture or any supplemental indenture under the Act; and

(13) to make any other change that does not adversely affect the rights of the holders of the debt securities.

No supplemental indenture for the purpose identified in clauses (2), (3), (5) or (7) above may be entered into if to do so would adversely affect the rights of the holders of debt securities of any series issued under the same indenture in any material respect.

17

Except as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, each indenture will contain provisions permitting us and the Trustee under such indenture, with the consent of the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of all series issued under such indenture to be affected voting as a single class, to execute supplemental indentures for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing or eliminating any of the provisions of the applicable indenture or modifying the rights of the holders of the debt securities of such series to be affected, except that no such supplemental indenture may, without the consent of the holders of affected debt securities, among other things:

(1) change the maturity of the principal of, or the maturity of any premium on, or any installment of interest on, any such debt security, or reduce the principal amount or the interest or any premium of any such debt securities, or change the method of computing the amount of principal or interest on any such debt securities on any date or change any place of payment where, or the currency in which, any debt securities or any premium or interest thereon is payable, or impair the right to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment on or after the maturity of principal or premium, as the case may be;

(2) reduce the percentage in principal amount of any such debt securities the consent of whose holders is required for any supplemental indenture, waiver of compliance with certain provisions of the applicable indenture or certain defaults under the applicable indenture;

(3) modify any of the provisions of the applicable indenture related to (i) the requirement that the holders of debt securities issued under such indenture consent to certain amendments of the applicable indenture, (ii) the waiver of past defaults and (iii) the waiver of certain covenants, except to increase the percentage of holders required to make such amendments or grant such waivers;

(4) impair or adversely affect the contractual right of any holder to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on, or with respect to, such senior debt securities on or after the maturity of such debt securities; or

(5) amend or modify the terms of any guarantees in a manner adverse to the holders.

In addition, the subordinated indenture provides that we may not make any change in the terms of the subordination of the subordinated debt securities of any series in a manner adverse in any material respect to the holders of any series of subordinated debt securities without the consent of each holder of subordinated debt securities that would be adversely affected.

Pursuant to the subordinated indenture, the subordinated indenture may not be amended, at any time, to alter the subordination provisions of any outstanding subordinated debt securities without the consent of the requisite holders of each outstanding series or class of Senior Indebtedness (as determined in accordance with the instrument governing such Senior Indebtedness) that would be adversely affected.

The Trustee

The Trustee named under each indenture and its affiliates may also provide banking, trustee and other services for, and transact other banking business with, us in the normal course of business.

Governing Law

The indentures will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York.

18

Global Securities

We may issue debt securities through global securities. A global security is a security, typically held by a depositary, that represents the beneficial interests of a number of purchasers of the security. If we do issue global securities, the following procedures will apply.

We will deposit global securities with the depositary identified in the applicable prospectus supplement. After we issue a global security, the depositary will credit on its book-entry registration and transfer system the respective principal amounts of the debt securities represented by the global security to the accounts of persons who have accounts with the depositary. These account holders are known as “participants.” The underwriters or agents participating in the distribution of the debt securities will designate the accounts to be credited. Only a participant or a person who holds an interest through a participant may be the beneficial owner of a global security. Ownership of beneficial interests in the global security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the depositary and its participants.

We and the Trustee will treat the depositary or its nominee as the sole owner or holder of the debt securities represented by a global security. Except as set forth below, owners of beneficial interests in a global security will not be entitled to have the debt securities represented by the global security registered in their names. They also will not receive or be entitled to receive physical delivery of the debt securities in definitive form and will not be considered the owners or holders of the debt securities.

Principal, any premium and any interest payments on debt securities represented by a global security registered in the name of a depositary or its nominee will be made to the depositary or its nominee as the registered owner of the global security. None of us, the Trustee or any paying agent will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of beneficial ownership interests in the global security or the maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to the beneficial ownership interests.

We expect that the depositary, upon receipt of any payments, will immediately credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the global security as shown on the depositary’s records. We also expect that payments by participants to owners of beneficial interests in the global security will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices, as is the case with the securities held for the accounts of customers registered in “street names,” and will be the responsibility of the participants.

If the depositary is at any time unwilling or unable to continue as depositary and a successor depositary is not appointed by us within 90 days, we will issue registered securities in exchange for the global security. In addition, we may at any time in our sole discretion determine not to have any of the debt securities of a series represented by global securities. In that event, we will issue debt securities of that series in definitive form in exchange for the global securities.

19

DESCRIPTION OF GUARANTEES

Certain of our subsidiaries named as additional registrants in this registration statement may fully and unconditionally guarantee, on a senior or subordinated, secured or unsecured basis, the Company’s obligations under the debt securities, on a joint and several basis, subject to customary release provisions, which will be described in a prospectus supplement relating to the offering of such guaranteed debt securities.

20

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK

The following is a description of the terms of our capital stock. This description is a summary only and is qualified by reference to the relevant provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”), and our amended and restated certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “certificate of incorporation”), and amended and restated bylaws (the “bylaws”), which are incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

General

Our certificate of incorporation authorizes 100,000,000,000 shares, which is divided into two classes as follows:

Common Stock

Economic Rights

Dividends. Subject to preferences that apply to any shares of our Preferred Stock outstanding at the time, the holders of our Common Stock (the “Common Stockholders”) are entitled to receive dividends out of funds legally available therefor if our board of directors, in its sole discretion, determines to declare and pay dividends and then only at the times and in the amounts that our board of directors may determine.

Liquidation. If we become subject to an event giving rise to our dissolution, the assets legally available for distribution to our stockholders would be distributable ratably among the Common Stockholders and any participating Preferred Stock outstanding at that time ranking on parity with our Common Stock with respect to such distribution, subject to prior satisfaction of all outstanding debt and liabilities and the preferential rights of, and the payment of liquidation preferences, if any, on any outstanding shares of our Preferred Stock.

Voting Rights

Except as required by the DGCL or as expressly otherwise provided in our certificate of incorporation, each Common Stockholder is entitled to vote on any matter submitted to our stockholders generally. Each holder of a share of our Common Stock is entitled, in respect of each share of our Common Stock that is outstanding in his, her or its name on our books, to one vote on all matters on which Common Stockholders are entitled to vote. Common Stockholders have no voting, approval or consent rights in respect of any amendments to our certificate of incorporation (including any certificate of designation relating to any series of our Preferred Stock) that relates solely to the terms of one or more outstanding series of our Preferred Stock on which the holders of such affected series of our Preferred Stock are entitled to vote.

Our certificate of incorporation provides that the number of authorized shares of any class of stock, including our Common Stock, may be increased or decreased (but not below the number of shares of such class then outstanding) by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the then outstanding shares of capital stock entitled to vote thereon.

No Preemptive or Similar Rights

Our shares of Common Stock are not entitled to preemptive rights and are not subject to conversion, redemption or sinking fund provisions.

21

Preferred Stock

Our board of directors is authorized, subject to limitations prescribed by Delaware law, to provide, out of the unissued shares of our Preferred Stock, for one or more series of our Preferred Stock, to fix the designation, powers (including voting powers), preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights of, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, such series of our Preferred Stock and the number of shares of such series, in each case without further vote or action by our stockholders (except as may be required by the terms of our certificate of incorporation and any certificate of designation relating to any series of our Preferred Stock then outstanding). Our board of directors can also increase (but not above the total number of shares of our Preferred Stock then authorized and available for issuance and not committed for other issuance) or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any series of our Preferred Stock. Our board of directors may authorize the issuance of our Preferred Stock with voting or conversion rights that could dilute or have a detrimental effect on the proportion of voting power held by, or other relative rights of, the Common Stockholders. The issuance of our Preferred Stock, while providing flexibility in connection with possible acquisitions and other corporate purposes, could, among other things, have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in the control of us and might adversely affect the market price of our Common Stock.

There are no shares of our Preferred Stock outstanding.

Anti-Takeover Provisions

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the DGCL contain provisions, which are summarized in the following paragraphs, that are intended to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability in the composition of our board of directors and to discourage certain types of transactions that may involve an actual or threatened acquisition of our Company. These provisions are intended to avoid costly takeover battles, reduce our vulnerability to a hostile change in control or other unsolicited acquisition proposal, and enhance the ability of our board of directors to maximize stockholder value in connection with any unsolicited offer to acquire us. However, these provisions may have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing a merger or acquisition of our Company by means of a tender offer, a proxy contest or other takeover attempt that a stockholder might consider in its best interest, including attempts that might result in a premium over the prevailing market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders.

Authorized but Unissued Capital Stock

Delaware law does not require stockholder approval for any issuance of shares that are authorized and available for issuance. However, the listing requirements of the NYSE which would apply so long as the shares of our Common Stock remain listed on the NYSE, require stockholder approval of certain issuances equal to or exceeding 20% of the then outstanding voting power or the then outstanding number of shares of our Common Stock. These additional shares may be used for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings, to raise additional capital and to facilitate acquisitions and employee benefit plans.

Our board of directors may generally issue shares of one or more series of Preferred Stock on terms designed to discourage, delay or prevent a change of control of us or the removal of our management. Moreover, our authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock will be available for future issuances in one or more series without stockholder approval and could be utilized for a variety of corporate purposes, including future offerings to raise additional capital or to facilitate acquisitions.

One of the effects of the existence of authorized and unissued and unreserved Common Stock or Preferred Stock may be to enable our board of directors to issue shares to persons friendly to current management, which issuance could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of us by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or otherwise, and thereby protect the continuity of our management and possibly

22

deprive our stockholders of opportunities to sell their shares of Common Stock at prices higher than prevailing market prices.

Business Combinations

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL. In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly-held Delaware corporation from engaging, under certain circumstances, in a “business combination” with an “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless:

Generally, a “business combination” includes a merger, asset or stock sale, or other transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder (other than on a pro rata basis with other stockholders). Subject to certain exceptions, an “interested stockholder” is a person who, together with that person’s affiliates and associates, “owns” or if such person is an affiliate or associate of the corporation, within three years prior to the determination of interested stockholder status, did “own” 15% or more of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock.

Under certain circumstances, Section 203 makes it more difficult for a person who would be an “interested stockholder” to effect various business combinations with a corporation for a three-year period. Accordingly, Section 203 could have an anti-takeover effect with respect to certain transactions our board of directors does not approve in advance or certain transactions with “interested stockholders” who have not been approved by the board of directors prior to becoming and interested stockholder. The provisions of Section 203 may encourage companies interested in acquiring us to negotiate in advance with our board of directors to avoid the restrictions on business combinations that would apply if the stockholder became an interested stockholder. However, Section 203 also could discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares of Common Stock held by stockholders. These provisions also may have the effect of preventing changes in our board of directors and may make it more difficult to accomplish transactions that stockholders may otherwise deem to be in their best interests.

Election of Directors

Directors are elected at an annual meeting of our stockholders. Subject to the rights of the holders of any series of Preferred Stock with respect to any director elected by holders of Preferred Stock, in an uncontested election, directors will be elected by a majority of the votes cast by the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election of directors at such annual meeting. In a contested election, directors are elected by a plurality of the votes cast by the holders of our outstanding shares of capital stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote on the election

23

of directors at such annual meeting. However, if a director is not re-elected by a majority of the votes cast, such director shall offer to tender his or her resignation to our board of directors and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors will make a recommendation to the board of directors on whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether other action should be taken. In this case, the board of directors (excluding the director tendering his or her resignation) will act on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee’s recommendation and publicly disclose its decision and the rationale behind it within ninety (90) days from the date of the certification of the election results. The time, date and place of the annual meeting will be fixed by the board of directors.

Removal of Directors

Any director or the whole board of directors (other than a director elected by holders of Preferred Stock) may be removed, with or without cause, at any time, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority in voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock and any full voting Preferred Stock entitled to vote thereon, voting together as a class.

Vacancies; Newly Created Directorships

In addition, our certificate of incorporation also provides that, subject to the terms and conditions of our Stockholders Agreement (as defined below) and the rights granted to one or more series of our Preferred Stock then outstanding, any vacancies on our board of directors may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors, even if less than a quorum, or by a sole remaining director. Our certificate of incorporation further provides that, subject to the rights granted to one or more series of our Preferred Stock then outstanding, any newly created directorship on the board of directors that results from an increase in the number of directors may only be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors in office, provided that a quorum is present. However, if there are no directors in office, then an election of directors may be held in accordance with the DGCL.

Requirements for Advance Notification of Stockholder Proposals and Nominations; Proxy Access

Our bylaws establish advance notice procedures with respect to stockholder proposals and stockholder nominations of persons for election to our board of directors. Generally, to be timely, a stockholder’s notice of a stockholder proposal or nomination must be received at our principal executive offices not less than 90 days or more than 120 days prior to the first anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders. Our bylaws also specify requirements as to the form and content of a stockholder’s notice. Our bylaws allow our board of directors to adopt rules and regulations for the conduct of meetings, which may have the effect of precluding the conduct of certain business or nominations at a meeting if the rules and regulations are not followed. These provisions may deter, delay or discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to influence or obtain control of our Company.

Our bylaws also contain a “proxy access” provision that permits a stockholder or group of up to 20 stockholders owning 3% or more of our outstanding Common Stock continuously for at least three years to nominate and include in our proxy materials director nominees up to the greater of two or 20% of the number of directors on our board (subject to certain adjustments and other conditions), provided the stockholder(s) and the nominee(s) satisfy the requirements specified in our bylaws. For purposes of this provision, the period of time that a stockholder is deemed to have continuously owned shares of Common Stock is generally deemed to include any period during which the stockholder held Common Shares of AHL converted into such shares, Apollo Operating Group units exchanged for such shares or Class A Shares of Apollo Asset Management, Inc. (“AAM”) converted into such shares (or any Class A Common Shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC that were converted into such AAM Class A Shares as a result of Apollo Global Management, LLC’s conversion to AGM).

24

Special Stockholder Meetings

Our certificate of incorporation provides that, subject to the rights of the holders of any series of our Preferred Stock, special meetings of our stockholders may be called at any time only by or at the direction of our board of directors or by our secretary upon proper written request in accordance with the procedures set forth in our bylaws of stockholders who beneficially own 25% or more of the voting power of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock.

Stockholder Action by Written Consent

Pursuant to Section 228 of the DGCL, any action required or permitted to be taken at any annual or special meeting of the stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if a consent or consents in writing, setting forth the action so taken, is signed by the holders of outstanding stock having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares of our stock entitled to vote thereon were present and voted and such written consent or consents are delivered in accordance with Section 228 of the DGCL, unless our certificate of incorporation provides otherwise. Our certificate of incorporation does not permit our common stockholders to act by written consent lieu of a meeting of stockholders.

Choice of Forum

Unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware (the “Court of Chancery”)will, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for:

(i) any derivative action or proceeding brought on our behalf;

(ii) any action asserting a claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of our current or former directors, officers, other employees or stockholders to us or our stockholders;

(iii) any action asserting a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, our certificate of incorporation or the bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery; or

(iv) any action asserting a claim related to or involving us that is governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (i) through (iv) above, any claim as to which the Court of Chancery determines that there is an indispensable party not subject to the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery (and the indispensable party does not consent to the personal jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery within ten (10) days following such determination), which is vested in the exclusive jurisdiction of a court or forum other than the Court of Chancery, or for which the Court of Chancery does not have subject matter jurisdiction. The exclusive forum provision also provides that it will not apply to claims arising under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other federal securities laws for which there is exclusive federal or concurrent federal and state jurisdiction, for which the federal district courts of the United States of America will be the exclusive forum for the resolution of such claims. Stockholders cannot waive, and will not be deemed to have waived under the exclusive forum provision, our compliance with the federal securities laws and the rules and regulations thereunder. However, the enforceability of similar forum provisions in other corporations’ certificates of incorporation have been challenged in legal proceedings and it is possible that a court could find these types of provisions to be unenforceable.

25

Stockholders Agreement

On January 1, 2022, AGM entered into a Stockholders Agreement with Leon D. Black, Marc J. Rowan, Joshua J. Harris (collectively, the “Former Managing Partners”) and certain affiliates of the Former Managing Partners (the “Stockholders Agreement”). The Stockholders Agreement provides, among other things:

The Stockholders Agreement also grants to each Former Managing Partner (and his permitted transferees) the right, under certain circumstances and subject to certain restrictions, to require AGM to register under the Securities Act, shares of Common Stock held or acquired by them. Under the Stockholders Agreement, each Former Managing Partner (and his permitted transferees) (i) has “demand” registration rights that require AGM to register under the Securities Act the shares of Common Stock that he holds or acquires, (ii) may require AGM to make available registration statements permitting sales of shares of Common Stock he holds or acquires in the market from time to time over an extended period and (iii) has the ability to exercise certain piggyback registration rights in connection with registered offerings requested by other registration rights holders or initiated by AGM. AGM has agreed to indemnify each Former Managing Partner (and his permitted transferees, together with certain related parties) against any losses or damages resulting from any untrue statement or omission of material fact in any registration statement or prospectus pursuant to which such holder sells shares of Common Stock, unless such liability arose from the holder’s misstatement or omission, and each Former Managing Partner (and his permitted transferees) has agreed to indemnify AGM against all losses caused by his (or their) misstatements or omissions.

26

Listing

Our shares of Common Stock are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “APO.”

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for our Common Stock and our Preferred Stock is American Stock Transfer & Trust Company.

We will be entitled to recognize the person in whose name any shares are registered on the books of the transfer agent as of the opening of business on a particular business day as owner, or record holder, of such shares, and accordingly shall not be bound to recognize any equitable or other claim to or interest in such shares on the part of any other person, regardless of whether we have actual or other notice thereof, except as otherwise provided by law, including any applicable rule, regulation, guideline or requirement of any national securities exchange on which such shares are listed for trading. Without limiting the foregoing, when a person is acting as nominee, agent or in some other representative capacity for another person in acquiring and/or holding the shares, as between us on the one hand and such other person on the other, such representative person shall be deemed the record holder of such share.

27

DESCRIPTION OF DEPOSITARY SHARES

This section describes the general terms and provisions of the depositary shares we may issue. The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of the depositary shares offered by that prospectus supplement and any general terms outlined in this section that will not apply to those depositary shares.

We may issue depositary receipts representing interests in a particular series of Preferred Stock which are called depositary shares. We will deposit the series of Preferred Stock which are the subject of depositary shares with a depositary to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement, which will hold the shares of Preferred Stock for the benefit of the holders of the depositary shares, in accordance with a deposit agreement between the depositary and us. The holders of depositary shares will be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the shares of Preferred Stock to which the depositary shares relate, including dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights, to the extent of their interests in the Preferred Stock.

While the deposit agreement relating to a particular series of Preferred Stock may have provisions applicable solely to that series of Preferred Stock, all deposit agreements relating to shares of Preferred Stock we issue will include the following provisions.

Distributions

Each time we pay a cash distribution with regard to shares of Preferred Stock of a series, the depositary will distribute to the holder of record of each depositary share relating to that series of Preferred Stock an amount equal to the distribution per depositary share the depositary receives. If there is a distribution of property other than cash, the depositary either will distribute the property to the holders of depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by each of them, or the depositary will, if we approve, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by them.

Withdrawal of Preferred Stock

A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive, upon surrender of depositary receipts representing depositary shares, the number of whole or fractional shares of the applicable series of Preferred Stock, and any money or other property, to which the depositary shares relate.

Redemption of Depositary Shares

Whenever we redeem shares of Preferred Stock held by a depositary, the depositary will be required to redeem, on the same redemption date, depositary shares constituting, in total, the number of shares of Preferred Stock held by the depositary which we redeem, subject to the depositary’s receiving the redemption price of those shares of Preferred Stock. If fewer than all the depositary shares relating to a series are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by another method we determine to be equitable.

Voting

Any time we send a notice of meeting or other materials relating to a meeting to the holders of a series of Preferred Stock to which depositary shares relate, we will provide the depositary with sufficient copies of those materials so they can be sent to all holders of record of the applicable depositary shares, and the depositary will send those materials to the holders of record of the depositary shares on the record date for the meeting. The depositary will solicit voting instructions from holders of depositary shares and will vote or not vote the shares of Preferred Stock to which the depositary shares relate in accordance with those instructions.

28

Liquidation Preference

Upon our liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the holder of a depositary share will be entitled to what the holder of the depositary share would have received if the holder had owned the number of shares of Preferred Stock (or fraction of a share) which is represented by the depositary share.

Conversion

If a series of Preferred Stock are convertible into shares of Common Stock or other of our securities or property, holders of depositary shares relating to that series of Preferred Stock will, if they surrender depositary receipts representing depositary shares and appropriate instructions to convert them, receive the shares of Common Stock or other securities or property into which the number of shares of Preferred Stock (or fractions of shares) to which the depositary shares relate could at the time be converted.

Amendment and Termination of the Deposit Agreement

We and the depositary may amend the deposit agreement, except that an amendment which materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of depositary shares, or would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of the shares of Preferred Stock to which they relate, must be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of the outstanding depositary shares. No amendment will impair the right of a holder of depositary shares to surrender the depositary receipts evidencing those depositary shares and receive the shares of Preferred Stock to which they relate, except as required to comply with law. We may terminate the deposit agreement with the consent of holders of a majority of the depositary shares to which it relates. Upon termination of the deposit agreement, the depositary will make the whole or fractional shares of Preferred Stock to which the depositary shares issued under the deposit agreement relate available to the holders of those depositary shares. The deposit agreement will automatically terminate if:

Miscellaneous

There will be provisions in the deposit agreement: (1) requiring the depositary to forward to holders of record of depositary shares any reports or communications from us which the depositary receives with respect to the shares of Preferred Stock to which the depositary shares relate; (2) regarding compensation of the depositary; (3) regarding resignation of the depositary; (4) limiting our liability and the liability of the depositary under the deposit agreement (usually to failure to act in good faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct); and (5) indemnifying the depositary against certain possible liabilities.

29

DESCRIPTION OF WARRANTS

We may issue warrants, in one or more series, for the purchase of equity or debt securities. We may issue warrants independently or together with any offered securities. The warrants may be attached to or separate from those offered securities. We will issue each series of warrants under separate warrant agreements to be entered into between us and a bank or trust company to be named in the applicable prospectus supplement, as warrant agent, all as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The warrant agent will act solely as our agent in connection with the warrants and will not assume any obligation or relationship of agency or trust for or with any holders or beneficial owners of warrants.

Warrants

The warrants will be evidenced by warrant certificates. Unless otherwise specified in the prospectus supplement, the warrant certificates may be traded separately from the debt securities or equity securities, if any, with which the warrant certificates were issued. Warrant certificates may be exchanged for new warrant certificates of different denominations at the office of an agent that we will appoint. Until a warrant is exercised, the holder of a warrant does not have any of the rights of a holder of our equity or debt securities and is not entitled to any payments on any equity or debt securities issuable upon exercise of the warrants.

The prospectus supplement relating to any warrants that we may offer will contain the specific terms of the warrants. These terms may include the following:

30

Exercise of Warrants

Each warrant will entitle the holder of warrants to purchase for cash the amount of equity or debt securities, at the exercise price stated or determinable in the prospectus supplement for the warrants. Warrants may be exercised at any time up to the close of business on the expiration date shown in the applicable prospectus supplement, unless otherwise specified in such prospectus supplement. After the close of business on the expiration date, unexercised warrants will become void. Warrants may be exercised as described in the applicable prospectus supplement. When the warrant holder makes the payment and properly completes and signs the warrant certificate at the corporate trust office of the warrant agent or any other office indicated in the prospectus supplement, we will, as soon as possible, forward the equity or debt securities that the warrant holder has purchased. If the warrant holder exercises the warrant for less than all of the warrants represented by the warrant certificate, we will issue a new warrant certificate for the remaining warrants.

31

DESCRIPTION OF SUBSCRIPTION RIGHTS

We may issue subscription rights to purchase shares of Common Stock, shares of Preferred Stock or other securities. These subscription rights may be issued independently or together with any other security offered by us and may or may not be transferable by the securityholder receiving the subscription rights in such offering. In connection with any offering of subscription rights, we may enter into a standby arrangement with one or more underwriters or other purchasers pursuant to which the underwriters or other purchasers may be required to purchase any securities remaining unsubscribed for after such offering.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the specific terms of any offering of subscription rights for which this prospectus is being delivered, including the following:

The description in the applicable prospectus supplement of any subscription rights we offer will not necessarily be complete and will be qualified in its entirety by reference to the applicable subscription rights certificate or subscription rights agreement, which will be filed with the SEC if we offer subscription rights. For more information on how you can obtain copies of any subscription rights certificate if we offer subscription rights, see “Incorporation of Documents by Reference” and “Where You Can Find More Information.” We urge you to read the applicable subscription rights certificate and any applicable prospectus supplement in their entirety.

32

DESCRIPTION OF PURCHASE CONTRACTS AND PURCHASE UNITS

We may issue purchase contracts for the purchase or sale of equity securities issued by us or debt or equity securities issued by third parties as specified in the applicable prospectus supplement. Each purchase contract will entitle the holder thereof to purchase or sell, and obligate us to sell or purchase on specified dates, such securities at a specified purchase price, which may be based on a formula, all as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. We may, however, satisfy our obligations, if any, with respect to any purchase contract by delivering the cash value of such purchase contract or the cash value of the securities otherwise deliverable, as set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement. The applicable prospectus supplement will also specify the methods by which the holders may purchase or sell such securities, and any acceleration, cancellation or termination provisions or other provisions relating to the settlement of a purchase contract. The price per security and the number of securities may be fixed at the time the purchase contracts are entered into or may be determined by reference to a specific formula set forth in the applicable purchase contracts.

The purchase contracts may be issued separately or as part of units consisting of a purchase contract and debt securities or debt obligations of third parties, including U.S. treasury securities, or any other securities described in the applicable prospectus supplement or any combination of the foregoing, securing the holders’ obligations to purchase the securities under the purchase contracts, which we refer to herein as “purchase units.” The purchase contracts may require holders to secure their obligations under the purchase contracts in a specified manner. The purchase contracts also may require us to make periodic payments to the holders of the purchase contracts or the purchase units, as the case may be, or vice versa, and those payments may be unsecured or pre-funded on some basis.

The applicable prospectus supplement will describe the terms of any purchase contract or purchase unit and will contain a summary of certain material U.S. Federal income tax consequences applicable to the purchase contracts and purchase units.

33

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Information about selling stockholders, where applicable, will be set forth in a prospectus supplement, in a post-effective amendment or in filings we will make with the SEC which will be incorporated into this prospectus by reference.

34

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We or the selling stockholders may offer and sell the securities in any one or more of the following ways:

In addition, we or any selling stockholders may enter into option, share lending or other types of transactions that require us to deliver securities to an underwriter, broker or dealer, who will then resell or transfer the securities under this prospectus. We or any selling stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with respect to our securities. For example, we may:

Any selling stockholder will act independently of us in making decisions with respect to the timing, manner and size of each sale of shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus.

We or any selling stockholders may enter into derivative transactions with third parties, or sell securities not covered by this prospectus to third parties in privately negotiated transactions. If the applicable prospectus supplement indicates, in connection with those derivatives, the third parties may sell securities covered by this prospectus and the applicable prospectus supplement, including in short sale transactions. If so, the third party may use securities pledged by us or borrowed from us or others to settle those sales or to close out any related open borrowings of securities, and may use securities received from us in settlement of those derivatives to close out any related open borrowings of securities. The third party in such sale transactions will be an underwriter and, if not identified in this prospectus, will be identified in the applicable prospectus supplement (or a post-effective amendment). In addition, we or the selling stockholders may otherwise loan or pledge securities to a financial institution or other third party that in turn may sell the securities short using this prospectus. Such financial institution or other third party may transfer its economic short position to investors in our securities or in connection with a concurrent offering of other securities.

35

Shares of Common Stock may also be exchanged for satisfaction of the selling stockholders’ obligations or other liabilities to their creditors. Such transactions may or may not involve brokers or dealers.

In some instances, we or the selling stockholders may provide a prospectus supplement in connection with certain sales of securities. The prospectus supplement will name any underwriter, dealer or agent involved in such offer and sale of the securities and will also set forth the terms of the offering, including:

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters or dealers for their own account. The securities may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions:

Such sales may be effected:

The securities may be offered to the public either through underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or directly by one or more of such firms. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of underwriters or dealers to purchase the securities offered will be subject to certain conditions precedent and the underwriters or dealers will be obligated to purchase all the offered securities if any are purchased. Any public offering price and any discount or concession allowed or reallowed or paid by underwriters or dealers to other dealers may be changed from time to time.

36

The selling stockholders might not sell any shares of Common Stock under this prospectus. In addition, any shares of Common Stock covered by this prospectus that qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than pursuant to this prospectus.

The securities may be sold directly by us or through agents designated by us from time to time. Any agent involved in the offer or sale of the securities in respect of which this prospectus is delivered will be named, and any commissions payable by us to such agent will be set forth in, the applicable prospectus supplement. Unless otherwise indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, any such agent will be acting on a best efforts basis for the period of its appointment.

Offers to purchase the securities offered by this prospectus may be solicited, and sales of the securities may be made, by us or by selling stockholders directly to institutional investors or others, who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any resale of the securities. The terms of any offer made in this manner will be included in the prospectus supplement relating to the offer.

If indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize underwriters, dealers or agents to solicit offers by certain institutional investors to purchase securities from us pursuant to contracts providing for payment and delivery at a future date. Institutional investors with which these contracts may be made include, among others:

In all cases, these purchasers must be approved by us. Unless otherwise set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of any purchaser under any of these contracts will not be subject to any conditions except that (a) the purchase of the securities must not at the time of delivery be prohibited under the laws of any jurisdiction to which that purchaser is subject, and (b) if the securities are also being sold to underwriters, we must have sold to these underwriters the securities not subject to delayed delivery. Underwriters and other agents will not have any responsibility in respect of the validity or performance of these contracts.

Some of the underwriters, dealers or agents used by us in any offering of securities under this prospectus may be customers of, engage in transactions with, and perform services for us or affiliates of ours in the ordinary course of business. Underwriters, dealers, agents and other persons may be entitled under agreements which may be entered into with us to indemnification against and contribution toward certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and to be reimbursed by us for certain expenses.

Any selling stockholders may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act.

Subject to any restrictions relating to debt securities in bearer form, any securities initially sold outside the United States may be resold in the United States through underwriters, dealers or otherwise.

There is currently no market for any of the offered securities, other than the shares of Common Stock which are listed on the NYSE. Any underwriters to which offered securities are sold by us for public offering and sale may make a market in such securities, but those underwriters will not be obligated to do so and may discontinue any market making at any time.

37

If underwriters or dealers are used in the sale of securities, until the distribution of the securities is completed, rules of the SEC may limit the ability of any underwriters to bid for and purchase our securities. As an exception to these rules, representatives of any underwriters are permitted to engage in transactions that stabilize the price of our securities. These transactions may consist of bids or purchases for the purpose of pegging, fixing or maintaining the price of such securities. If the underwriters create a short position in our securities in connection with an offering, the representatives of the underwriters may reduce that short position by purchasing such securities in the open market. We make no representation or prediction as to the direction or magnitude of any effect that the transactions described above may have on the price of our securities. In addition, we make no representation that the representatives of any underwriters will engage in these transactions or that these transactions, once commenced, will not be discontinued without notice.

If more than five percent of the net proceeds of any offering of securities made under this prospectus will be received by any member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, which we refer to in this prospectus as “FINRA,” participating in the offering or by affiliates or associated persons of such FINRA member or any participating member who otherwise would have a “conflict of interest” under FINRA Rules, the offering will be conducted in accordance with FINRA Rule 5121. The maximum compensation we will pay to underwriters in connection with any offering of the securities will not exceed 8% of the proceeds of such offering.

To comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the securities may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the securities may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

38

Certain legal matters in connection with the offered securities will be passed upon for us by Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison LLP, New York, New York. Certain legal matters as to Cayman Islands law will be passed upon for us by Walkers (Cayman) LLP, Cayman Islands.
