Forward-Looking Statements
This quarterly report may contain forward-looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). These statements include, but are not limited to, discussions related to Apollo’s expectations regarding the performance of its business, liquidity and capital resources and the other non-historical statements in the discussion and analysis. These forward-looking statements are based on management’s beliefs, as well as assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used in this quarterly report, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” or future or conditional verbs, such as “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may,” and variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. 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 be correct.

Table of Contents
“Assets Under Management”, or “AUM”, refers to the assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management, advisory, or certain other investment-related services, including, without limitation, capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our AUM equals the sum of:
(i)the net asset value, or “NAV,” plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments, or gross assets plus capital commitments, of the credit funds, partnerships and accounts for which we provide investment management or advisory services, other than certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”), collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), and certain permanent capital vehicles, which have a fee-generating basis other than the mark-to-market value of the underlying assets;
(ii)the fair value of the investments of the private equity and real assets funds, partnerships and accounts we manage or advise plus the capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts are entitled to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments, plus portfolio level financings; for certain permanent capital vehicles in real assets, gross asset value plus available financing capacity;
(iii)the gross asset value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets we manage or advise; and
(iv)the fair value of any other assets that we manage or advise for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management, advisory, or certain other investment-related services, plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts for investments that may require pre-qualification or other conditions before investment plus any other capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above.
Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either nominal or zero fees. Our AUM measure also includes assets for which we do not have investment discretion, including certain assets for which we earn only investment-related service fees, rather than management or advisory fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our governing documents or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we use internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers. Our calculation also differs from the manner in which our affiliates registered with the SEC report “Regulatory Assets Under Management” on Form ADV and Form PF in various ways;
“Fee-Generating AUM” consists of assets of the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management, advisory, or certain other investment-related services and on which we earn management fees, monitoring fees or other investment-related fees pursuant to management or other fee agreements on a basis that varies among the Apollo funds, partnerships and accounts. Management fees are normally based on “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “adjusted assets,” “stockholders’ equity,” “invested capital” or “capital contributions,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement. Monitoring fees, also referred to as advisory fees, with respect to the structured portfolio company investments of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage or advise, are generally based on the total value of such structured portfolio company investments, which normally includes leverage, less any portion of such total value that is already considered in Fee-Generating AUM;
“Non-Fee-Generating AUM” refers to AUM that does not produce management fees or monitoring fees. This measure generally includes the following:
(i)fair value above invested capital for those funds that earn management fees based on invested capital;
(ii)net asset values related to general partner and co-investment interests;
(iii)unused credit facilities;
-4-

Table of Contents
(iv)available commitments on those funds that generate management fees on invested capital;
(v)structured portfolio company investments that do not generate monitoring fees; and
(vi)the difference between gross asset and net asset value for those funds that earn management fees based on net asset value.
“Performance Fee-Eligible AUM” refers to the AUM that may eventually produce performance fees. All funds for which we are entitled to receive a performance fee allocation or incentive fee are included in Performance Fee-Eligible AUM, which consists of the following:
(i)     “Performance Fee-Generating AUM”, which refers to invested capital of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, advise, or to which we provide certain other investment-related services, that is currently above its hurdle rate or preferred return, and profit of such funds, partnerships and accounts is being allocated to, or earned by, the general partner in accordance with the applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements;
(ii)     “AUM Not Currently Generating Performance Fees”, which refers to invested capital of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, advise, or to which we provide certain other investment-related services, that is currently below its hurdle rate or preferred return; and
(iii)     “Uninvested Performance Fee-Eligible AUM”, which refers to capital of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, advise, or to which we provide certain other investment-related services, that is available for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements, which capital is not currently part of the NAV or fair value of investments that may eventually produce performance fees allocable to, or earned by, the general partner.
“AUM with Future Management Fee Potential” refers to the committed uninvested capital portion of total AUM not
currently earning management fees. The amount depends on the specific terms and conditions of each fund;
We use AUM as a performance measure of our funds’ investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs. Non-Fee-Generating AUM includes assets on which we could earn performance fees;
“Advisory” refers to certain assets advised by Apollo Asset Management Europe PC LLP (“AAME PC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Apollo Asset Management Europe LLP (“AAME”). AAME PC and AAME are subsidiaries of Apollo and are collectively referred to herein as “ISGI”;
“Athene Holding” or “AHL” refers to Athene Holding Ltd. (together with its subsidiaries, “Athene”), a leading retirement services company that issues, reinsures and acquires retirement savings products designed for the increasing number of individuals and institutions seeking to fund retirement needs, and to which Apollo, through its consolidated subsidiary Apollo Insurance Solutions Group LP (formerly known as Athene Asset Management LLC) (“ISG”), provides asset management and advisory services;
“Athora Holding” refers to Athora Holding, Ltd. (“Athora Holding” and together with its subsidiaries, “Athora”), a strategic platform that acquires or reinsures blocks of insurance business in the German and broader European life insurance market (collectively, the “Athora Accounts”). The Company, through ISGI, provides investment advisory services to Athora. Athora Non-Sub-Advised Assets includes the Athora assets which are managed by Apollo but not sub-advised by Apollo nor invested in Apollo funds or investment vehicles. Athora Sub-Advised includes assets which the Company explicitly sub-advises as well as those assets in the Athora Accounts which are invested directly in funds and investment vehicles Apollo manages;
“capital deployed” or “deployment” represents (i) the aggregate amount of capital that has been invested during a given period (including leverage) by our commitment based funds and SIAs that have a defined maturity date, (ii) purchases of investments (net of sales) by our subscription and contribution based funds and mandates (including leverage), (iii) investments originated by certain of our platform companies, net of syndications to our other funds and accounts, but including syndications to third parties, and (iv) third-party investment activity in opportunities sourced by our teams for which we earn a fee and in which we participate. Deployment excludes offsetting short positions, certain credit derivatives, certain short-dated government securities, and involuntary repayment of loans and bonds;

Calculations may include certain investors that do not pay fees. The terminal value is the net asset value as of the reporting date. Non-U.S. dollar denominated (“USD”) fund cash flows and residual values are converted to USD using the spot rate as of the reporting date. In addition, gross IRRs at the fund level will differ from those at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Gross IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;
“gross IRR” of a private equity fund represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows (i) for a given investment for the fund or funds which made such investment, and (ii) for a given fund, in the relevant fund itself (and not any one investor in the fund), in each case, on the basis of the actual timing of investment inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on June 30, 2021 or other date specified) aggregated on a gross basis quarterly, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, performance fees and certain other expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors. In addition, gross IRRs at the fund level will differ from those at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Gross IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;
“gross IRR” of a real assets fund excluding the principal finance funds represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows in the fund itself (and not any one investor in the fund), on the basis of the actual timing of cash inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on June 30, 2021 or other date specified) starting on the date that each investment closes, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, performance fees, and certain other expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors. Non-USD fund cash flows and residual values are converted to USD using the spot rate as of the reporting date. In addition, gross IRRs at the fund level will differ from those at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Gross IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;
“gross return” of a credit or real assets fund is the monthly or quarterly time-weighted return that is equal to the percentage change in the value of a fund’s portfolio, adjusted for all contributions and withdrawals (cash flows) before the effects of management fees, incentive fees allocated to the general partner, or other fees and expenses. Returns for credit funds are calculated for all funds and accounts in the respective strategies excluding assets for Athene, Athora and certain other entities where we manage or may manage a significant portion of the total company assets. Returns of CLOs represent the gross returns on assets. Returns over multiple periods are calculated by geometrically linking each period’s return over time;
“Holdings” means AP Professional Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership through which our Co-Founders and Contributing Partners indirectly beneficially own their interests in the Apollo Operating Group units;
“inflows” represents (i) at the individual segment level, subscriptions, commitments, and other increases in available capital, such as acquisitions or leverage, net of inter-segment transfers, and (ii) on an aggregate basis, the sum of inflows across the credit, private equity and real assets segments;
“net IRR” of a credit fund and the principal finance funds within the real assets segment represents the annualized return of a fund after management fees, performance fees allocated to the general partner and certain other expenses, calculated on investors that pay such fees. The terminal value is the net asset value as of the reporting date. Non-USD fund cash flows and residual values are converted to USD using the spot rate as of the reporting date. In addition, net IRR at the fund level will differ from that at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Net IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;

Table of Contents
“net IRR” of a private equity fund means the gross IRR applicable to a fund, including returns for related parties which may not pay fees or performance fees, net of management fees, certain expenses (including interest incurred or earned by the fund itself) and realized performance fees all offset to the extent of interest income, and measures returns at the fund level on amounts that, if distributed, would be paid to investors of the fund. The timing of cash flows applicable to investments, management fees and certain expenses, may be adjusted for the usage of a fund’s subscription facility. To the extent that a fund exceeds all requirements detailed within the applicable fund agreement, the estimated unrealized value is adjusted such that a percentage of up to 20.0% of the unrealized gain is allocated to the general partner of such fund, thereby reducing the balance attributable to fund investors. In addition, net IRR at the fund level will differ from that at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Net IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;
“net IRR” of a real assets fund excluding the principal finance funds represents the cumulative cash flows in the fund (and not any one investor in the fund), on the basis of the actual timing of cash inflows received from and outflows paid to investors of the fund (assuming the ending net asset value as of June 30, 2021 or other date specified is paid to investors), excluding certain non-fee and non-performance fee bearing parties, and the return is annualized and compounded after management fees, performance fees, and certain other expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns to investors of the fund as a whole.  Non-USD fund cash flows and residual values are converted to USD using the spot rate as of the reporting date. In addition, net IRR at the fund level will differ from that at the individual investor level as a result of, among other factors, timing of investor-level inflows and outflows. Net IRR does not represent the return to any fund investor;
“net return” of a credit or real assets fund represents the gross return after management fees, performance fees allocated to the general partner, or other fees and expenses. Returns over multiple periods are calculated by geometrically linking each period’s return over time;
“performance allocations”, “performance fees”, “performance revenues”, “incentive fees” and “incentive income” refer to interests granted to Apollo by an Apollo fund that entitle Apollo to receive allocations, distributions or fees which are based on the performance of such fund or its underlying investments;

(“ARI”), Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (“AIF”), and Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (“AFT”), in each case that do not have redemption provisions or a requirement to return capital to investors upon exiting the investments made with such capital, except as required by applicable law and (d) a non-traded business development company from which Apollo earns certain investment-related service fees. The investment management agreements of AINV, AIF and AFT have one year terms, are reviewed annually and remain in effect only if approved by the boards of directors of such companies or by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of such companies, including in either case, approval by a majority of the directors who are not “interested persons” as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”). In addition, the investment management agreements of AINV, AIF and AFT may be terminated in certain circumstances upon 60 days’ written notice. The investment management agreement of ARI has a one year term and is reviewed annually by ARI’s board of directors and may be terminated under certain circumstances by an affirmative vote of at least two-thirds of ARI’s independent directors. The investment management or advisory arrangements between each of MidCap and Apollo, Athene and Apollo, and Athora and Apollo, may also be terminated under certain circumstances. The agreement pursuant to which Apollo earns certain investment-related service fees from a non-traded business development company may be terminated under certain limited circumstances;
“private equity fund appreciation (depreciation)” refers to gain (loss) and income for the traditional private equity funds (as defined below), Apollo Natural Resources Partners, L.P.

(together with its parallel funds and alternative investment vehicles, “HVF I”) for the periods presented on a total return basis before giving effect to fees and expenses. The performance percentage is determined by dividing (a) the change in the fair value of investments over the period presented, minus the change in invested capital over the period presented, plus the realized value for the period presented, by (b) the beginning unrealized value for the period presented plus the change in invested capital for the period presented. Returns over multiple periods are calculated by geometrically linking each period’s return over time;
“private equity investments” refer to (i) direct or indirect investments in existing and future private equity funds managed or sponsored by Apollo, (ii) direct or indirect co-investments with existing and future private equity funds managed or sponsored by Apollo, (iii) direct or indirect investments in securities which are not immediately capable of resale in a public market that

1. ORGANIZATION
Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM Inc.”, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Apollo”) is a global alternative investment manager whose predecessor was founded in 1990. Its primary business is to raise, invest and manage credit, private equity and real assets funds as well as strategic investment accounts, on behalf of pension, endowment and sovereign wealth funds, as well as other institutional and individual investors. For these investment management services, Apollo receives management fees generally related to the amount of assets managed, transaction and advisory fees, incentive fees and performance allocations related to the performance of the respective funds that it manages. Apollo has three primary business segments:
Credit—primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments including performing, stressed and distressed investments across the capital structure;
Private equity—primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt investments; and
Real assets—primarily invests in (i) real estate equity and infrastructure equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate and infrastructure assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, (ii) real estate and infrastructure debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities and (iii) European performing and non-performing loans, and unsecured consumer loans.
Organization of the Company
As of June 30, 2021, the Company owned, through five intermediate holding companies that include APO Corp., a Delaware corporation that is a domestic corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO Asset Co., LLC, a Delaware limited liability company that is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, APO (FC II), LLC, an Anguilla limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and APO (FC III), LLC, a Cayman Islands limited liability company that is a disregarded entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes (collectively, the “Intermediate Holding Companies”), 53.5% of the economic interests of, and operated and controlled all of the businesses and affairs of, the Apollo Operating Group.
AP Professional Holdings, L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (“Holdings”), is an entity through which the Co-Founders and certain of the Company’s other current and former partners (the “Contributing Partners”) indirectly beneficially own interests in each of the entities that comprise the Apollo Operating Group. As of June 30, 2021, Holdings owned 39.8% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. The Company consolidates the financial results of the Apollo Operating Group and its consolidated subsidiaries. Holdings’ ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group is reflected as a Non-Controlling Interest in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
Athene and Apollo Strategic Transaction
On February 28, 2020, pursuant to a transaction agreement (the “Transaction Agreement”) between Athene Holding, AGM Inc. and the entities that form the Apollo Operating Group, the Apollo Operating Group issued 29,154,519 non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group to Athene Holding. As a result, as of June 30, 2021, Athene Holding owned 6.7% of the economic interests in the Apollo Operating Group. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Transaction Agreement.
As noted further in note 14, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity ownership stake in Athene, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to 28%, at the close of the transaction. This has resulted in Apollo’s indirect ownership in certain VIEs, through Athene, being considered significant such that the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs.
Apollo and Athene Merger and Corporate Conversion
On March 8, 2021, AGM Inc. entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with AHL, Tango Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of AGM Inc. (“HoldCo”), Blue Merger Sub, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“AHL Merger Sub”), and Green

Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (“AGM Merger Sub” and together with AHL Merger Sub, the “Merger Subs”).
At the closing of the transaction (the “Closing”), AHL Merger Sub will merge with and into AHL (the “AHL Merger”), with AHL as the surviving entity in the AHL Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “AHL Surviving Entity”), and AGM Merger Sub will merge with and into Apollo (the “AGM Merger” and, together with the AHL Merger, the “Mergers”) with AGM as the surviving entity in the AGM Merger and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of HoldCo (the “AGM Surviving Entity”). Upon consummation of the Mergers, AGM and AHL will be direct wholly owned subsidiaries of HoldCo, which will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.” The transaction is expected to close in January of 2022. The transaction requires the approval of stockholders of both Apollo and AHL, and is subject to, among other things, regulatory approvals, and other customary closing conditions. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Merger Agreement.
In addition, on March 9, 2021, AGM Inc. entered into a binding governance term sheet with the Co-Founders pursuant to which it was agreed, among other things, that the Company will convert its corporate structure to a single class of common stock with one vote per share. The change will take effect at closing of the Mergers, subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals, and will result in the exchange of Apollo’s Apollo Operating Group units for a combination of Class A shares and cash, and the reorganization of Apollo Global Management, Inc. from an umbrella partnership C corporation (“Up-C”) structure to a C-corporation with a single class of common stock.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and instructions to Form 10-Q. The condensed consolidated financial statements and these notes are unaudited and exclude some of the disclosures required in annual financial statements. Management believes it has made all necessary adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring items) so that the condensed consolidated financial statements are presented fairly and that estimates made in preparing its condensed consolidated financial statements are reasonable and prudent. The operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements included in the 2020 Annual Report.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly-owned or majority-owned subsidiaries, the consolidated entities which are considered to be variable interest entities (“VIEs”) and for which the Company is considered the primary beneficiary, and certain entities which are not considered VIEs but which the Company controls through a majority voting interest. Intercompany accounts and transactions, if any, have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Certain reclassifications, when applicable, have been made to the prior periods’ condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to conform to the current period’s presentation and are disclosed accordingly.
Consolidation
The types of entities with which Apollo is involved generally include subsidiaries (e.g., general partners and management companies related to the funds the Company manages), entities that have all the attributes of an investment company (e.g., funds), special purpose acquisition companies (“SPACs”) and securitization vehicles (e.g., CLOs). Each of these entities is assessed for consolidation on a case by case basis depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding that entity.
Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity. Fees that are customary and commensurate with the level of services provided, and where the Company does not hold other economic interests in the entity that would absorb more than an insignificant amount of the expected losses or returns of the entity, would not be considered a variable interest. Apollo factors in all economic interests, including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if such interests are considered a variable interest. As Apollo’s interests in many of these entities are solely through market rate fees and/or insignificant indirect interests through related parties, Apollo is not considered to have a variable interest in many of these entities and no further consolidation analysis is performed. For entities
-19-

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED
FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
where the Company has determined that it does hold a variable interest, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether each of those entities qualify as a VIE.
The determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity and therefore certain of Apollo’s funds may qualify as VIEs under the variable interest model whereas others may qualify as voting interest entities (“VOEs”) under the voting interest model. The granting of substantive kick-out rights is a key consideration in determining whether a limited partnership or similar entity is a VIE and whether or not that entity should be consolidated.
Under the variable interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity. The Company is determined to be the primary beneficiary when it has a controlling financial interest in the VIE, which is defined as possessing both (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses of the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant. When Apollo alone is not considered to have a controlling financial interest in the VIE but Apollo and its related parties under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo will be deemed the primary beneficiary if it is the party that is most closely associated with the VIE. When Apollo and its related parties not under common control in the aggregate have a controlling financial interest in the VIE, Apollo would be deemed to be the primary beneficiary if substantially all the activities of the entity are performed on behalf of Apollo.
Apollo determines whether it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE at the time it becomes initially involved with the VIE and reconsiders that conclusion continuously. Investments and redemptions (either by Apollo, related parties of Apollo or third parties) or amendments to the governing documents of the respective entity may affect an entity’s status as a VIE or the determination of the primary beneficiary.
Assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are primarily shown in separate sections within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses are presented within net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The portion attributable to Non-Controlling Interests is reported within net income attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. For additional disclosures regarding VIEs, see note 5.
Under the voting interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest. Apollo does not consolidate those VOEs in which substantive kick-out rights have been granted to the unrelated investors to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Apollo considers all highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. Cash and cash equivalents include money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Interest income from cash and cash equivalents is recorded in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The carrying values of the money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities were $1.2 billion and $1.2 billion as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, which represent their fair values due to their short-term nature and are categorized as Level I within the fair value hierarchy. Substantially all of the Company’s cash on deposit is in interest bearing accounts with major financial institutions and exceed insured limits.
Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
Restricted cash and cash equivalents includes cash held in reserve accounts used to make required payments in respect of the 2039 Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes. Restricted cash and cash equivalents also includes cash deposited at a bank, which is pledged as collateral in connection with leased premises.
Restricted cash and cash equivalents of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital (“APSG”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and consist of U.S Treasury bills with original maturities of three months or less when purchased, that were purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.8 billion in funds as of June 30, 2021 are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in APSG’s trust agreement. Restricted cash and cash equivalents of Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II (“APSG II”), a consolidated SPAC, are held in a trust account and include money market funds that were

purchased with funds raised through the initial public offering of the consolidated entity. The $0.7 billion in funds as of June 30, 2021 are restricted for use and may only be used for purposes of completing an initial business combination or redemption of public shares as set forth in APSG II’s trust agreement.
U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value
U.S. Treasury securities, at fair value includes U.S. Treasury bills with original maturities greater than three months when purchased. These securities are recorded at fair value. Interest income on such securities is separately presented from the overall change in fair value and is recognized in interest income in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. Any remaining change in fair value of such securities, that is not recognized as interest income, is recognized in net gains (losses) from investment activities in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Apollo has elected the fair value option for the Company’s investment in Athene Holding, the assets and liabilities of certain of its consolidated VIEs (including CLOs), the Company’s U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities greater than three months when purchased, and certain of the Company’s other investments. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition.
The fair value of a financial instrument is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
Except for the Company’s debt obligations, financial instruments are generally recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. The actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based.
Fair Value Hierarchy
U.S. GAAP establishes a hierarchical disclosure framework which prioritizes and ranks the level of market price observability used in measuring financial instruments at fair value. Market price observability is affected by a number of factors, including the type of financial instrument, the characteristics specific to the financial instrument and the state of the marketplace, including the existence and transparency of transactions between market participants. Financial instruments with readily available quoted prices in active markets generally will have a higher degree of market price observability and a lesser degree of judgment used in measuring fair value.
Financial instruments measured and reported at fair value are classified and disclosed based on the observability of inputs used in the determination of fair values, as follows:
Level I - Quoted prices are available in active markets for identical financial instruments as of the reporting date. The types of financial instruments included in Level I include listed equities and debt. The Company does not adjust the quoted price for these financial instruments, even in situations where the Company holds a large position and the sale of such position would likely deviate from the quoted price.
Level II - Pricing inputs are other than quoted prices in active markets, which are either directly or indirectly observable as of the reporting date, and fair value is determined through the use of models or other valuation methodologies. Financial instruments that are generally included in this category include corporate bonds and loans, less liquid and restricted equity securities and certain over-the-counter derivatives where the fair value is based on observable inputs. These financial instruments exhibit higher levels of liquid market observability as compared to Level III financial instruments.
Level III - Pricing inputs are unobservable for the financial instrument and includes situations where there is little observable market activity for the financial instrument. The inputs into the determination of fair value may require significant management judgment or estimation. Financial instruments that are included in this category generally include general and limited partner interests in corporate private equity and real assets funds, opportunistic credit funds, distressed debt and non-investment grade residual interests in securitizations and CDOs and CLOs where the fair value is based on observable inputs as well as unobservable inputs.

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
When a security is valued based on broker quotes, the Company subjects those quotes to various criteria in making the determination as to whether a particular financial instrument would qualify for classification as Level II or Level III. These criteria include, but are not limited to, the number and quality of the broker quotes, the standard deviations of the observed broker quotes, and the percentage deviation from external pricing services.
In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, a financial instrument’s level within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the financial instrument when the fair value is based on unobservable inputs.
Equity Method Investments
For investments in entities over which the Company exercises significant influence but which do not meet the requirements for consolidation and for which the Company has not elected the fair value option, the Company uses the equity method of accounting, whereby the Company records its share of the underlying income or loss of such entities. The Company’s share of the underlying net income or loss of such entities is recorded in principal investment income (loss) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
The carrying amounts of equity method investments are recorded in investments in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. As the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are, for U.S. GAAP purposes, primarily investment companies which reflect their investments at estimated fair value, the carrying value of the Company’s equity method investments in such entities approximates fair value.
Financial Instruments held by Consolidated VIEs
The Company measures both the financial assets and financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs in its condensed consolidated financial statements using the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs, whichever are more observable.
Where financial assets are more observable, the financial assets of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial liabilities are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial assets and the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the sum of the fair value of any beneficial interests retained by the Company (other than those that represent compensation for services) and the Company’s carrying value of any beneficial interests that represent compensation for services. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial liabilities (other than the beneficial interest retained by the Company) using a reasonable and consistent methodology.
Where financial liabilities are more observable, the financial liabilities of the consolidated CLOs are measured at fair value and the financial assets are measured in consolidation as: (i) the sum of the fair value of the financial liabilities, and the carrying value of any nonfinancial liabilities that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs less (ii) the carrying value of any nonfinancial assets that are incidental to the operations of the CLOs. The resulting amount is allocated to the individual financial assets using a reasonable and consistent methodology.
Under the measurement alternative, net income attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. reflects the Company’s own economic interests in the consolidated CLOs including (i) changes in the fair value of the beneficial interests retained by the Company and (ii) beneficial interests that represent compensation for collateral management services.
The consolidated VIEs hold investments that could be traded over-the-counter. Investments in securities that are traded on a securities exchange or comparable over-the-counter quotation systems are valued based on the last reported sale price at that date. If no sales of such investments are reported on such date, and in the case of over-the-counter securities or other investments for which the last sale date is not available, valuations are based on independent market quotations obtained from market participants, recognized pricing services or other sources deemed relevant, and the prices are based on the average of the “bid” and “ask” prices, or at ascertainable prices at the close of business on such day. Market quotations are generally based on valuation pricing models or market transactions of similar securities adjusted for security-specific factors such as relative capital structure priority and interest and yield risks, among other factors. When market quotations are not available, a model based approach is used to determine fair value.

Certain consolidated VIEs have applied the fair value option for certain investments in private debt securities that otherwise would not have been carried at fair value with gains and losses in net income.
Deferred Revenue
Apollo records deferred revenue, which is a type of contract liability, when consideration is received in advance of management services provided.
Apollo also earns management fees subject to the Management Fee Offset (described below). When advisory and transaction fees are earned by the management company, the Management Fee Offset reduces the management fee obligation of the fund. When the Company receives cash for advisory and transaction fees, a certain percentage of such advisory and/or transaction fees, as applicable, is allocated as a credit to reduce future management fees, otherwise payable by such fund. Such credit is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. A portion of any excess advisory and transaction fees may be required to be returned to the limited partners of certain funds upon such fund’s liquidation. As the management fees earned by the Company are presented on a gross basis, any Management Fee Offsets calculated are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Additionally, Apollo earns advisory fees pursuant to the terms of the advisory agreements with certain of the portfolio companies that are owned by the funds Apollo manages. When Apollo receives a payment from a portfolio company that exceeds the advisory fees earned at that point in time, the excess payment is recorded as deferred revenue in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The advisory agreements with the portfolio companies vary in duration and the associated fees are received monthly, quarterly or annually.
Deferred revenue is reversed and recognized as revenue over the period that the agreed upon services are performed. There was $23.5 million of revenue recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2021 that was previously deferred as of January 1, 2021.
Under the terms of the funds’ partnership agreements, Apollo is normally required to bear organizational expenses over a set dollar amount and placement fees or costs in connection with the offering and sale of interests in the funds it manages to investors. The placement fees are payable to placement agents, who are independent third parties that assist in identifying potential investors, securing commitments to invest from such potential investors, preparing or revising offering and marketing materials, developing strategies for attempting to secure investments by potential investors and/or providing feedback and insight regarding issues and concerns of potential investors, when a limited partner either commits or funds a commitment to a fund. In cases where the limited partners of the funds are determined to be the customer in an arrangement, placement fees may be capitalized as a cost to acquire a customer contract, and amortized over the life of the customer contract. Capitalized placement fees are recorded within other assets in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, while amortization is recorded within placement fees in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. In certain instances, the placement fees are paid over a period of time. Based on the management agreements with the funds, Apollo considers placement fees and organizational costs paid in determining if cash has been received in excess of the management fees earned. Placement fees and organizational costs are normally the obligation of Apollo but can be paid for by the funds. When these costs are paid by the fund, the resulting obligations are included within deferred revenue. The deferred revenue balance will also be reduced during future periods when management fees are earned but not paid.
Redeemable non-controlling interests
Redeemable non-controlling interests represent the shares issued by APSG and APSG II, the consolidated SPACs, that are redeemable for cash by the public shareholders in connection with the SPACs’ failure to complete a business combination or tender offer/stockholder approval provisions. The redeemable non-controlling interests are initially recorded at their original issue price, net of issuance costs and the initial fair value of separately traded warrants. The carrying amount is accreted to its redemption value over the period from the date of issuance to the earliest redemption date of the instrument. These increases are recorded against additional paid-in capital.
Revenues
The Company’s revenues are reported in four separate categories that include (i) management fees; (ii) advisory and transaction fees, net; (iii) investment income, which is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income; and (iv) incentive fees.

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
The revenue guidance requires that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services (i.e., the transaction price). When determining the transaction price under the revenue guidance, an entity may recognize variable consideration only to the extent that it is probable to not be significantly reversed. The revenue guidance also requires disclosures to help users of financial statements better understand the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue that is recognized.
Performance allocations are accounted for under guidance applicable to equity method investments, and therefore not within the scope of the revenue guidance. The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as further described below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.

Refer to disclosures below for additional information on each of the Company’s revenue streams.
Management Fees
Management fees are recognized over time during the periods in which the related services are performed in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. Management fees are generally based on (1) a percentage of the capital committed during the commitment period, and thereafter based on the remaining invested capital of unrealized investments, or (2) net asset value, gross assets or as otherwise defined in the respective agreements. Included in management fees are certain expense reimbursements where the Company is considered the principal under the agreements and is required to record the expense and related reimbursement revenue on a gross basis.
Advisory and Transaction Fees, Net
Advisory fees, including management consulting fees and directors’ fees, are generally recognized over time as the underlying services are provided in accordance with the contractual terms of the related agreement. The Company receives such fees in exchange for ongoing management consulting services provided to portfolio companies of funds it manages. Transaction fees, including structuring fees and arranging fees related to the Company’s funds, portfolio companies of funds and third parties are generally recognized at a point in time when the underlying services rendered are complete.
The amounts due from fund portfolio companies are recorded in due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, which is discussed further in note 14. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Advisory and transaction fees are presented net of the Management Fee Offset in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Underwriting fees, which are also included within advisory and transaction fees, net, include gains, losses and fees, arising from securities offerings in which one of the Company’s subsidiaries participates in the underwriter syndicate. Underwriting fees are recognized at a point in time when the underwriting is completed. Underwriting fees recognized but not received are recorded in other assets on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
During the normal course of business, the Company incurs certain costs related to certain transactions that are not consummated (“broken deal costs”). These costs (e.g., research costs, due diligence costs, professional fees, legal fees and other related items) are determined to be broken deal costs upon management’s decision to no longer pursue the transaction. In accordance with the related fund agreement, in the event the deal is deemed broken, all of the costs are reimbursed by the funds and then included as a component of the calculation of the Management Fee Offset. If a deal is successfully completed, Apollo is reimbursed by the fund or fund’s portfolio company for all costs incurred and no offset is generated. As the Company acts as an agent for the funds it manages, any transaction costs incurred and paid by the Company on behalf of the respective funds relating to successful or broken deals are recorded net on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, and any receivable from the respective funds is recorded in due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
Investment Income
Investment income is comprised of performance allocations and principal investment income.

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
Performance Allocations
Performance allocations are a type of performance revenue (i.e., income earned based on the extent to which an entity’s performance exceeds predetermined thresholds). Performance allocations are generally structured from a legal standpoint as an allocation of capital in which the Company’s capital account receives allocations of the returns of an entity when those returns exceed predetermined thresholds. The determination of which performance revenues are considered performance allocations is primarily based on the terms of an agreement with the entity.
The Company recognizes performance allocations within investment income along with the related principal investment income (as described further below) in the condensed consolidated statements of operations and within the investments line in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
When applicable, the Company may record a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations. The general partner obligation is based upon an assumed liquidation of a fund’s net assets as of the reporting date and is reported within due to related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund.
Principal Investment Income
Principal investment income includes the Company’s income or loss from equity method investments and certain other investments in entities in which the Company is generally eligible to receive performance allocations. Income from equity method investments includes the Company’s share of net income or loss generated from its investments, which are not consolidated, but in which the Company exerts significant influence.
Incentive Fees
Incentive fees are a type of performance revenue. Incentive fees differ from performance allocations in that incentive fees do not represent an allocation of capital but rather a contractual fee arrangement with the entity.
Incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration as they are subject to clawback or reversal and therefore must be deferred until the fees are probable to not be significantly reversed. Accrued but unpaid incentive fees are reported within incentive fees receivable in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The Company’s incentive fees primarily relate to the credit segment and are generally received from CLOs, managed accounts and AINV.
Compensation and Benefits
Salaries, Bonus and Benefits
Salaries, bonus and benefits include base salaries, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, severance and employee benefits. Bonuses are generally accrued over the related service period.
Equity-Based Compensation
Equity-based awards granted to employees and non-employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. In addition, certain restricted share units (“RSUs”) granted by the Company vest based on both continued service and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for such awards, if and when granted, will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance revenue metrics are met or deemed probable. The Company accounts for forfeitures of equity-based awards when they occur.
Profit Sharing
Profit sharing expense and profit sharing payable primarily consist of a portion of performance revenues earned from certain funds that are allocated to employees and former employees. Profit sharing amounts are recognized as the related
-25-

FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
performance revenues are earned. Accordingly, profit sharing amounts can be reversed during periods when there is a decline in performance revenues that were previously recognized.
Profit sharing amounts are generally not paid until the related performance revenue is distributed to the general partner upon realization of the fund’s investments. Under certain profit sharing arrangements, the Company requires that a portion of certain of the performance revenues distributed to its employees be used to purchase restricted Class A Common Stock issued under the Company’s Equity Plan. Prior to distribution of the performance revenue, the Company records the value of the equity-based awards expected to be granted in other assets and other liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. Such equity-based awards are recorded as equity-based compensation expense over the relevant service period once granted.
Additionally, profit sharing amounts previously distributed may be subject to clawback from employees and former employees. When applicable, the accrual for potential clawback of previously distributed profit sharing amounts, which is a component of due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, represents all amounts previously distributed to employees and former employees that would need to be returned to the general partner if the Apollo funds were to be liquidated based on the fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as of the reporting date. The actual general partner receivable, however, would not become realized until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund.
Profit sharing payable also includes contingent consideration obligations that were recognized in connection with certain Apollo acquisitions. Changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations are reflected in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations as profit sharing expense.
The Company has a performance-based incentive arrangement for certain Apollo partners and employees designed to more closely align compensation on an annual basis with the overall realized performance of the Company. This arrangement enables certain partners and employees to earn discretionary compensation based on performance revenue earned by the Company in a given year, which amounts are reflected in profit sharing expense in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company may also use dividends it receives from investments in MidCap, ARI and AINV to compensate employees. These amounts are recorded as profit sharing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.
401(k) Savings Plan
The Company sponsors a 401(k) savings plan (the “401(k) Plan”) whereby U.S.-based employees are entitled to participate in the 401(k) Plan based upon satisfying certain eligibility requirements. The Company matches 50% of eligible annual employee contributions up to 3% of the eligible employees’ annual compensation. Matching contributions vest after three years of service.
General, Administrative and Other
General, administrative and other primarily includes professional fees, occupancy, depreciation and amortization, travel, information technology and administration expenses.
Income Taxes
Effective September 5, 2019, Apollo Global Management, LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation named Apollo Global Management, Inc. Subsequent to the conversion, generally all of the income it earns from the Apollo Operating Group (“AOG”) entities is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes. Certain of the AOG entities operate as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes and are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes (“NYC UBT”). Certain non-U.S. entities are also subject to non-U.S. corporate income taxes.
Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits

of the position are recognized. The Company’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether the Company has uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period during which the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Non-Controlling Interests
For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than Apollo. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Non-Controlling Interests relating to Apollo Global Management, Inc. include the ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group held by Co-Founders and Contributing Partners through their limited partner interests in Holdings. Additionally, Athene holds Non-Controlling Interests in the Apollo Operating Group as a result of the Transaction Agreement. Non-Controlling Interests also include ownership interests in certain consolidated funds and VIEs.
Non-Controlling Interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The primary components of Non-Controlling Interests are separately presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interest in the Apollo Operating Group and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities. Net income includes the net income attributable to the holders of Non-Controlling Interests on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Profits and losses are allocated to Non-Controlling Interests in proportion to their relative ownership interests regardless of their basis.
Guarantees
See note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to our material guarantees.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Apollo’s most significant estimates include goodwill, intangible assets, income taxes, performance allocations, incentive fees, contingent consideration obligation related to an acquisition, non-cash compensation, and fair value of investments and debt. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. The Company is unable to predict the adverse impact the COVID-19 pandemic will ultimately have. While such impact may change considerably over time, the estimates and assumptions affecting the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements are based on information available as of June 30, 2021. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance intended to simplify the accounting for income taxes. The new guidance eliminates certain exceptions to the existing approach in ASC 740, and clarifies other guidance within the standard; it is effective for the Company on January 1, 2021. Based on the Company’s current application of ASC 740, the guidance did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company.

     Profit sharing expense includes (i) changes in amounts payable to employees and former employees entitled to a share of performance revenues in Apollo’s funds and (ii) changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations recognized in connection with certain Apollo acquisitions.

See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the potential return of profit sharing distributions.
As discussed in note 2, under certain profit sharing arrangements, the Company requires that a portion of certain of the performance revenues distributed to its employees be used to purchase restricted shares of Class A Common Stock issued under its Equity Plan. Prior to distribution of the performance revenues, the Company records the value of the equity-based awards expected to be granted in other assets and other liabilities within the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. See note 7 for further disclosure regarding deferred equity-based compensation.
5. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
As described in note 2, the Company consolidates entities that are VIEs for which the Company has been designated as the primary beneficiary.
Consolidated Variable Interest Entities
As noted further in note 14, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity ownership stake in Athene on February 28, 2020, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to approximately 28.4% as of June 30, 2021. This has resulted in Apollo’s indirect ownership through Athene in several VIEs being considered significant and therefore Apollo has consolidated the financial positions and results of operations of such VIEs given that the Company also has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs.
Consolidated VIEs include certain CLOs as well as certain funds managed by the Company. Through its role as collateral manager, investment manager or general partner of these VIEs, the Company has the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of these VIEs. In addition, the Company’s combined interests in these VIEs are significant. The assets are not available to creditors of the Company, and the investors in these consolidated VIEs have no recourse against the assets of the Company. There is no recourse to the Company for the consolidated VIEs’ liabilities.
The Company measures the fair value of the financial assets and the financial liabilities of the CLOs using the fair value of either the financial assets or financial liabilities, whichever is more observable (see note 2 for further discussion). The Company has elected the fair value option for financial instruments held by its consolidated CLOs, which includes investments in loans and corporate bonds, as well as debt obligations and contingent obligations. Other assets include amounts due from

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
brokers and interest receivables. Other liabilities include payables for securities purchased, which represent open trades within the consolidated CLOs and primarily relate to corporate loans that are expected to settle within 60 days.
The consolidated funds managed by the Company are investment companies and their investments, which include equity securities as well as debt securities, are held at fair value. Other assets of the consolidated funds include interest receivables and receivables from affiliates. Other liabilities include debt held at amortized cost as well as short-term payables.
Included within liabilities of the consolidated VIEs are notes payable related to certain funds managed by the Company. Each series of notes in a respective consolidated VIE participates in distributions from the VIE, including principal and interest from underlying investments, in accordance with the terms of the note series. Amounts allocated to the noteholders reflect amounts that would be distributed if the VIE’s affairs were wound up and its assets sold for cash equal to their respective carrying values, its liabilities satisfied in accordance with their terms, and all the remaining amounts distributed to the noteholders. The respective VIEs that issue the notes payable are marked at their prevailing net asset value, which approximates fair value.
Results from certain funds managed by the Company are reported on a three month lag based upon the availability of financial information.

(2)The notes and borrowings of the consolidated VIEs are collateralized by assets held by each respective vehicle and assets of one vehicle may not be used to satisfy the liabilities of another vehicle. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of these consolidated VIEs’ assets were $9.1 billion and $9.6 billion, respectively.

(3)As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, secured borrowings consist of consolidated VIEs’ obligations through a repurchase agreement redeemable at maturity with third party lenders. The fair value of the secured borrowings as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 approximates principal outstanding due to the short term nature of the borrowings. These secured borrowings are classified as a Level III liability within the fair value hierarchy.
The consolidated VIEs’ debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance with any of these covenants.
As of June 30, 2021, except for the secured borrowings, the contractual maturities for debt of the consolidated VIEs are greater than 10 years.
Variable Interest Entities Which are Not Consolidated
The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated, as it has been determined that Apollo is not the primary beneficiary.
The following table presents the carrying amounts of the assets and liabilities of the VIEs for which Apollo has concluded that it holds a significant variable interest, but that it is not the primary beneficiary. In addition, the table presents the maximum exposure to losses relating to these VIEs.

(1)      Unobservable inputs were weighted based on the fair value of the investments included in the range.
Fair Value Measurement of Investment in Athene Holding
As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of Apollo’s Level II investment in Athene Holding was estimated using the closing market price of Athene Holding shares of $67.50 less a DLOM of 12.9%. The DLOM was derived based on the average remaining lock up restrictions on the shares of Athene Holding held by Apollo (36 months from the closing date of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Agreement) and the estimated volatility in such shares of Athene Holding. The historical share price volatility of a representative set of Athene Holding’s publicly traded insurance peers was calculated over a three year period equivalent to the lock up on the shares of Athene Holding held by Apollo and used as a proxy to estimate the projected volatility in Athene Holding’s shares. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of Apollo’s Level II investment in Athene Holding was estimated using the closing market price of Athene Holding shares of $43.14 less a DLOM of 17.5%.
Discounted Cash Flow Model
When a discounted cash flow model is used to determine fair value, the significant input used in the valuation model is the discount rate applied to present value the projected cash flows. Increases in the discount rate can significantly lower the fair value of an investment and the contingent consideration obligations; conversely decreases in the discount rate can significantly increase the fair value of an investment and the contingent consideration obligations.
Consolidated VIEs
Investments
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the equity securities include the discount rate applied, purchase multiple, price-to-earnings multiple, total book value multiple and net tangible asset value in the valuation models. These unobservable inputs in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. The discount rate is determined based on the market rates an investor would expect for a similar investment with similar risks.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of bank loans are discount rates and recoverability percentage. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of bonds and profit participating notes are discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurements.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of real estate are discount rates and capitalization rates. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates or capitalization rates in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of convertible securities are discount rates, price-to-earnings multiple and total book value multiple. Significant increases (decreases) in any discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of warrants are volatility rates. Significant increases (decreases) in volatility rates would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.
Certain investments are valued using the NAV per share equivalent calculated by the investment manager as a practical expedient to determining an independent fair value.
Liabilities
The debt obligations of certain consolidated VIEs, that are CLOs, were measured on the basis of the fair value of the financial assets of those CLOs as the financial assets were determined to be more observable and, as a result, categorized as Level II in the fair value hierarchy.

The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company’s liabilities of consolidated VIEs are discount rates. Significant increases (decreases) in discount rates would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
Contingent Consideration Obligations
The significant unobservable input used in the fair value measurement of the contingent consideration obligations is the discount rate applied in the valuation models. This input in isolation can cause significant increases or decreases in fair value. The discount rate was based on the hypothetical cost of equity in connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower. See note 15 for further discussion of the contingent consideration obligations.
Valuation of Underlying Investments of Equity Method Investees
As discussed previously, the underlying entities that the Company manages and invests in are primarily investment companies which account for their investments at estimated fair value.
On a quarterly basis, Apollo utilizes valuation committees consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the funds it manages. For certain publicly traded vehicles managed by the Company, a review is performed by an independent board of directors. The Company also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the external valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, those estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
    Credit Investments
The majority of investments in Apollo’s credit funds are valued based on quoted market prices and valuation models. Quoted market prices are valued based on the average of the “bid” and the “ask” quotes provided by multiple brokers wherever possible without any adjustments. Apollo will designate certain brokers to use to value specific securities. In order to determine the designated brokers, Apollo considers the following: (i) brokers with which Apollo has previously transacted, (ii) the underwriter of the security and (iii) active brokers indicating executable quotes. In addition, when valuing a security based on broker quotes wherever possible Apollo tests the standard deviation amongst the quotes received and the variance between the concluded fair value and the value provided by a pricing service. When broker quotes are not available Apollo considers the use of pricing service quotes or other sources to mark a position. When relying on a pricing service as a primary source, Apollo (i) analyzes how the price has moved over the measurement period, (ii) reviews the number of brokers included in the pricing service’s population, if available, and (iii) validates the valuation levels with Apollo’s pricing team and traders.
Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing a model based approach to determine fair value. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of illiquid credit investments also may include the market approach and the income approach, as described below. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks.
    Private Equity Investments
The majority of the illiquid investments within our private equity funds are valued using the market approach, which provides an indication of fair value based on a comparison of the subject company to comparable publicly traded companies and transactions in the industry.
    Market Approach
The market approach is driven by current market conditions, including actual trading levels of similar companies and, to the extent available, actual transaction data of similar companies. Judgment is required by management when assessing which companies are similar to the subject company being valued. Consideration may also be given to any of the following factors: (1) the subject company’s historical and projected financial data; (2) valuations given to comparable companies; (3) the size and scope of the subject company’s operations; (4) the subject company’s individual strengths and weaknesses;

(5) expectations relating to the market’s receptivity to an offering of the subject company’s securities; (6) applicable restrictions on transfer; (7) industry and market information; (8) general economic and market conditions; and (9) other factors deemed relevant. Market approach valuation models typically employ a multiple that is based on one or more of the factors described above. Enterprise value as a multiple of EBITDA is common and relevant for most companies and industries, however, other industry specific multiples are employed where available and appropriate. Sources for gaining additional knowledge related to comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. Once a comparable company set is determined, Apollo reviews certain aspects of the subject company’s performance and determines how its performance compares to the group and to certain individuals in the group. Apollo compares certain measurements such as EBITDA margins, revenue growth over certain time periods, leverage ratios and growth opportunities. In addition, Apollo compares the entry multiple and its relation to the comparable set at the time of acquisition to understand its relation to the comparable set on each measurement date.
    Income Approach
For investments where the market approach does not provide adequate fair value information, Apollo relies on the income approach. The income approach is also used to validate the market approach within our private equity funds. The income approach provides an indication of fair value based on the present value of cash flows that a business or security is expected to generate in the future. The most widely used methodology for the income approach is a discounted cash flow method. Inherent in the discounted cash flow method are significant assumptions related to the subject company’s expected results, the determination of a terminal value and a calculated discount rate, which is normally based on the subject company’s weighted average cost of capital, or “WACC.” The WACC represents the required rate of return on total capitalization, which is comprised of a required rate of return on equity, plus the current tax-effected rate of return on debt, weighted by the relative percentages of equity and debt that are typical in the industry. The most critical step in determining the appropriate WACC for each subject company is to select companies that are comparable in nature to the subject company and the credit quality of the subject company. Sources for gaining additional knowledge about the comparable companies include public filings, annual reports, analyst research reports, and press releases. The general formula then used for calculating the WACC considers the after-tax rate of return on debt capital and the rate of return on common equity capital, which further considers the risk-free rate of return, market beta, market risk premium and small stock premium, if applicable. The variables used in the WACC formula are inferred from the comparable market data obtained. The Company evaluates the comparable companies selected and concludes on WACC inputs based on the most comparable company or analyzes the range of data for the investment.
Debt securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing a model based approach to determine fair value. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of hybrid capital investments also may include the market approach and the income approach, as previously described above. The valuation approaches used consider, as applicable, market risks, credit risks, counterparty risks and foreign currency risks.
The value of liquid investments, where the primary market is an exchange (whether foreign or domestic), is determined using period end market prices. Such prices are generally based on the close price on the date of determination.
Real Assets Investments
The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) in Apollo’s real assets funds is determined by reference to market prices provided by certain dealers who make a market in these financial instruments. Broker quotes are only indicative of fair value and may not necessarily represent what the funds would receive in an actual trade for the applicable instrument. Additionally, the loans held-for-investment are stated at the principal amount outstanding, net of deferred loan fees and costs for certain investments. The loans in Apollo’s real assets funds are evaluated for possible impairment on a quarterly basis. For Apollo’s real assets funds, valuations of non-marketable underlying investments are determined using methods that include, but are not limited to (i) discounted cash flow estimates or comparable analysis prepared internally, (ii) third party appraisals or valuations by qualified real estate appraisers and (iii) contractual sales value of investments/properties subject to bona fide purchase contracts. Methods (i) and (ii) also incorporate consideration of the use of the income, cost, or sales comparison approaches of estimating property values.
Certain of the credit, private equity, and real assets funds may also enter into foreign currency exchange contracts, total return swap contracts, credit default swap contracts, and other derivative contracts, which may include options, caps, collars and floors. Foreign currency exchange contracts are marked-to-market by recognizing the difference between the contract exchange rate and the current market rate as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. If securities are held at the end of the period, the changes in value are recorded in income as unrealized. Realized gains or losses are recognized when contracts

are settled. Total return swap and credit default swap contracts are recorded at fair value as an asset or liability with changes in fair value recorded as unrealized appreciation or depreciation. Realized gains or losses are recognized at the termination of the contract based on the difference between the close-out price of the total return or credit default swap contract and the original contract price. Forward contracts are valued based on market rates obtained from counterparties or prices obtained from recognized financial data service providers.

9. INCOME TAXES
The Company’s income tax (provision) benefit totaled $(194.1) million and $(140.3) million for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $(397.3) million and $155.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company’s effective tax rate was approximately 11.4% and 12.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and 11.6% and 10.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Under U.S. GAAP, a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized when it is more likely than not that the position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. Based upon the Company’s review of its federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns and tax filing positions, the Company determined that no material unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions were required to be recorded. In addition, the Company does not believe that it has any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that it will be required to record significant amounts of unrecognized tax benefits within the next twelve months.
The primary jurisdictions in which the Company operates are the United States and the United Kingdom. There are no unremitted earnings with respect to the United Kingdom and other foreign entities.
In the normal course of business, the Company is subject to examination by federal, state, local and foreign tax authorities. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income tax returns for the years 2017 through 2019 are open under the general statute of limitations provisions and therefore subject to examination. Currently, the Internal Revenue Service is examining the tax return of a subsidiary for the 2011 tax year. The State and City of New York are examining certain subsidiaries’ tax returns for tax years 2011 to 2018. The United Kingdom and India tax authorities are currently examining certain subsidiaries’ tax returns for tax year 2017. No provisions with respect to these examinations have been recorded.
The Company records deferred tax assets as a result of the step-up in the tax basis of assets and intangibles resulting from exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock by the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners. A related liability is recorded in due to related parties in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition for the expected payments under the tax receivable agreement entered into by and among APO Corp., the Co-Founders, the Contributing Partners, and other parties thereto (as amended, the “tax receivable agreement”) (see note 14). The benefit the Company obtains

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
from the difference in the tax asset recognized and the related liability results in an increase to additional paid in capital. The amortization period for the portion of the increase in tax basis related to intangibles is 15 years. The realization of the remaining portion of the increase in tax basis relates to the disposition of the underlying assets to which the step-up is attributed. The associated deferred tax assets reverse at the time of the corresponding asset disposition.
The table below presents the impact to the deferred tax asset, tax receivable agreement liability and additional paid in capital related to the exchange of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock.

(4)For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, all of the classes of securities were determined to be anti-dilutive.
The Company has granted RSUs that provide the right to receive, subject to vesting during continued employment, shares of Class A Common Stock pursuant to the Equity Plan. The Company has three types of RSU grants, which we refer to as Plan Grants, Bonus Grants and Performance Grants. “Plan Grants” vest over time (generally one to six years) and may or

may not provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested RSUs on an equal basis with the Class A Common Stockholders any time a dividend is declared. “Bonus Grants” vest over time (generally three years) and generally provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on both vested and unvested RSUs on an equal basis with the Class A Common Stockholders any time a dividend is declared. “Performance Grants” generally vest over time (three to five years), subject to the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. Performance Grants provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested RSUs and may also provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs.
Any dividend equivalent paid to an employee will not be returned to the Company upon forfeiture of the award by the employee. Vested and unvested RSUs that are entitled to non-forfeitable dividend equivalents qualify as participating securities and are included in the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share computations using the two-class method. The holder of an RSU participating security would have a contractual obligation to share in the losses of the entity if the holder is obligated to fund the losses of the issuing entity or if the contractual principal or mandatory redemption amount of the participating security is reduced as a result of losses incurred by the issuing entity. The RSU participating securities do not have a mandatory redemption amount and the holders of the participating securities are not obligated to fund losses; therefore, neither the vested RSUs nor the unvested RSUs are subject to any contractual obligation to share in losses of the Company.
Certain holders of AOG Units are subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the agreements with the respective holders and may, upon notice (subject to the terms of an exchange agreement), exchange their AOG Units for shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis. An AOG Unit holder must exchange one unit in each of the Apollo Operating Group partnerships to effectuate an exchange for one share of Class A Common Stock.
Apollo Global Management, Inc. has one share of Class B common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, of the Company (“Class B Common Stock”) outstanding, which is held by BRH Holdings GP, Ltd. (“BRH”). The voting power of the share of Class B Common Stock is reduced on a one vote per one AOG Unit basis in the event of an exchange of AOG Units for shares of Class A Common Stock, subject to the terms of the AGM Inc. Certificate of Incorporation. The Class B Common Stock has no net income (loss) per share as it does not participate in Apollo’s earnings (losses) or dividends. The Class B Common Stock has no dividend rights and only a de minimis liquidation right. The Class B Common Stock represented 46.6% and 47.2% of the total voting power of the Company’s Class A Common Stock and Class B Common Stock with respect to the matters upon which they were entitled to vote together as a single class pursuant to the Company’s governing documents as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Athene can only redeem their AOG Units by selling to Apollo or to a different buyer with Apollo’s agreement as detailed in the Liquidity Agreement (see note 14). As these AOG Units are not convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock, they are excluded when calculating diluted net income per share.
12. EQUITY-BASED COMPENSATION
Equity-based awards granted to employees and non-employees as compensation are measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are expensed over the relevant service period. Equity-based awards that require performance metrics to be met are expensed only when the performance metric is met or deemed probable.

RSUs
The Company grants RSUs under the Equity Plan. The fair value of all grants is based on the grant date fair value, which considers the public share price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock subject to certain discounts, as applicable. The following table summarizes the weighted average discounts for Plan Grants, Bonus Grants and Performance Grants.
The estimated total grant date fair value for Plan Grants and Bonus Grants is charged to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, which for Plan Grants is generally one to six years, with the first installment vesting one year after grant and quarterly vesting thereafter, and for Bonus Grants is generally annual vesting over three years.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020, the Company awarded Performance Grants of 1.2 million and 2.0 million RSUs to certain employees with a grant date fair value of $51.5 million and $81.4 million, respectively, which vest subject to continued employment and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for these and other Performance Grants will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance revenue metrics are met or deemed probable.
Additionally, the Company entered into an agreement in 2018 with several employees under which RSUs would be granted starting in 2020 if year-over-year growth in certain discretionary earnings metrics were attained prior to grant and they remained employed at the grant date. Once granted, the awards vest subject to continued employment and the Company’s receipt of performance revenues sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. In connection with these agreements, the Company granted 0.2 million RSUs with a grant date fair value of $7.5 million that fully vested and were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and granted 0.3 million RSUs with a grant date fair value of $11.7 million that were fully vested and were expensed during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Equity-based compensation $ 17,488  $ 28,467  $ 43,865  $ 57,331

As of June 30, 2021, there was $233.6 million of total unrecognized equity-based compensation expense related to unvested RSUs, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average term of 2.2 years.
Equity-Based Compensation Allocation
Equity-based compensation is allocated based on ownership interests. Therefore, the amortization of equity-based compensation is allocated to stockholders’ equity attributable to AGM Inc. and the Non-Controlling Interests, which results in a difference in the amounts charged to equity-based compensation expense and the amounts credited to stockholders’ equity attributable to AGM Inc. in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
Below is a reconciliation of the equity-based compensation allocated to AGM Inc.:

13. EQUITY
Common Stock
Holders of Class A Common Stock are entitled to participate in dividends from the Company on a pro rata basis.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company issued shares of Class A Common Stock in settlement of vested RSUs. The Company has generally allowed holders of vested RSUs and exercised share options to settle their tax liabilities by reducing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to them, which the Company refers to as “net share settlement.” Additionally, the Company has generally allowed holders of share options to settle their exercise price by reducing the number of shares of Class A Common Stock issued to them at the time of exercise by an amount sufficient to cover the exercise price. The net share settlement results in a liability for the Company and a corresponding accumulated deficit adjustment.
In January 2019, Apollo increased its authorized share repurchase amount by $250 million, bringing the total authorized repurchase amount to $500 million. On March 12, 2020, Apollo announced that the executive committee of the Company’s board of directors approved a new share repurchase authorization that allows the Company to repurchase up to
-51-

(dollars in thousands, except share data, except where noted)
$500 million of its Class A common stock. This new authorization increased the Company’s capacity to repurchase shares from $80 million of unused capacity under the Company’s previously approved the share repurchase plan authorization. The share repurchase plan authorization may be used to repurchase outstanding shares of Class A Common Stock as well as to reduce the number of shares of Class A Common Stock to be issued to employees to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted under the Equity Plan (or any successor equity plan thereto). Shares of Class A Common Stock may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, with the size and timing of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. Apollo is not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of its shares of Class A Common Stock. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice.
The table below summarizes the issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock for equity-based awards:

Issuance of shares of Class A Common Stock for equity-based awards 1,490,785  3,151,903 
(1)The gross value of shares issued was $155.2 million and $202.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, based on the closing price of a Class A Common Stock at the time of issuance.
(2)Cash paid for tax liabilities associated with net share settlement was $63.7 million and $85.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
(3)Certain Apollo employees receive a portion of the profit sharing proceeds of certain funds in the form of (a) restricted Class A Common Stock that they are required to purchase with such proceeds or (b) RSUs, in each case which equity-based awards generally vest over three years. These equity-based awards are granted under the Company's 2007 Equity Plan. To prevent dilution on account of these awards, Apollo may, in its discretion, repurchase Class A Common Stock on the open market and retire them. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we issued 56,243 and 636,314 of such restricted shares and 270,362 and 149,042 of such RSUs under the Equity Plan, respectively, and repurchased 326,605 and 0 shares of Class A Common Stock in open-market transactions not pursuant to a publicly-announced repurchase plan or program, respectively. In addition, there were 0 and 7,675 restricted shares forfeited during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, 1,818,108 and 2,194,095 shares of Class A Common Stock were repurchased in open market transactions as part of the publicly announced share repurchase program discussed above, respectively, and such shares were subsequently canceled by the Company. The Company paid $105.7 million and $64.2 million for these open market share repurchases during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.
Preferred Stock Issuance
On March 7, 2017, Apollo issued 11,000,000 6.375% Series A Preferred shares (the “Series A Preferred shares”) for gross proceeds of $275.0 million, or $264.4 million net of issuance costs and on March 19, 2018, Apollo issued 12,000,000 6.375% Series B Preferred shares (the “Series B Preferred shares” and collectively with the Series A Preferred shares, the “Preferred shares”) for gross proceeds of $300.0 million, or $289.8 million net of issuance costs.
As a result of the conversion to a corporation, (i) each Series A Preferred share representing limited liability company interests of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“AGM LLC”) outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Series A Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, of the Company and (ii) each Series B Preferred share representing limited liability company interests of AGM LLC outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the conversion converted into one issued and outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable share of Series B Preferred Stock, having a liquidation preference of $25.00 per share, of the Company (the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock collectively, the “Preferred Stock”).
When, as and if declared by the executive committee of the board of directors of AGM Inc., dividends on the Preferred Stock will be payable quarterly on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on June 15, 2018 for the Series B Preferred Stock, at a rate per annum equal to 6.375%. Dividends on the Preferred Stock are

discretionary and non-cumulative. During 2021, quarterly cash dividends were $0.398438 per share of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock.
Subject to certain exceptions, unless dividends have been declared and paid or declared and set apart for payment on the Preferred Stock for a quarterly dividend period, during the remainder of that dividend period Apollo may not declare or pay or set apart payment for dividends on any shares of Class A Common Stock or any other equity securities that the Company may issue in the future ranking as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Preferred Stock (“Junior Stock”) and Apollo may not repurchase any Junior Stock.
The Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole or in part, at any time on or after March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023, respectively, at a price of $25.00 per share of Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. Holders of the Preferred Stock will have no right to require the redemption of the Preferred Stock and there is no maturity date.
If a certain change of control event or a certain tax redemption event occurs prior to March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023 for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, the Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole but not in part, upon at least 30 days’ notice, within 60 days of the occurrence of such change of control event or such tax redemption event, as applicable, at a price of $25.25 per share of Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. If a certain rating agency event occurs prior to March 15, 2023, the Series B Preferred Stock may be redeemed at Apollo’s option, in whole but not in part, upon at least 30 days’ notice, within 60 days of the occurrence of such rating agency event, at a price of $25.50 per share of Series B Preferred Stock, plus declared and unpaid dividends to, but excluding, the redemption date, without payment of any undeclared dividends. If (i) a change of control event occurs (whether before, on or after March 15, 2022 and March 15, 2023 for the Series A Preferred Stock and the Series B Preferred Stock, respectively) and (ii) Apollo does not give notice prior to the 31st day following the change of control event to redeem all the outstanding Preferred Stock, the dividend rate per annum on the Preferred Stock will increase by 5.00%, beginning on the 31st day following such change of control event.
The Preferred Stock are not convertible into Class A Common Stock and have no voting rights, except in limited circumstances as provided in the Company’s certificate of incorporation. In connection with the issuance of the Preferred Stock, certain Apollo Operating Group entities issued for the benefit of Apollo a series of preferred units with economic terms that mirror those of the Preferred Stock.
Dividends and Distributions
The table below presents information regarding the quarterly dividends and distributions which were made at the sole discretion of the executive committee of the board of directors (in millions, except per share data). Certain subsidiaries of AGM Inc. may be subject to U.S. federal, state, local and non-U.S. income taxes at the entity level and may pay taxes and/or make payments under the tax receivable agreement in a given fiscal year; therefore, the net amounts ultimately distributed by AGM Inc. to its Class A Common Stockholders in respect of each fiscal year are generally expected to be less than the net amounts distributed to AOG Unitholders.

Tax Receivable Agreement
Subject to certain restrictions, each of the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners has the right to exchange his vested AOG Units for the Company’s Class A Common Stock. All Operating Group entities have made, or will make, an election under Section 754 of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), which will result in an adjustment to the tax basis of the assets owned by the Apollo Operating Group at the time of the exchange. These exchanges will result in increases in the basis of underlying assets that will reduce the amount of tax that AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries will otherwise be required to pay in the future.
The tax receivable agreement provides for the payment to the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries realizes as a result of the increases in tax basis of assets that resulted from the 2007 Reorganization, the Conversion, and other exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock that have occurred in prior years. AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries retain the benefit from the remaining 15% of actual cash tax savings. If the Company does not make the required annual payment on a timely basis as outlined in the tax receivable agreement, interest is accrued on the balance until the payment date.
As a result of the exchanges of AOG Units for Class A Common Stock during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, a $38.2 million and $62.5 million liability was recorded, respectively, to estimate the amount of the future expected payments to be made by AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries to the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners pursuant to the tax receivable agreement. In April 2021, Apollo made a $39.9 million cash payment pursuant to the tax receivable agreement resulting from the realized tax benefit for the 2020 tax year. In connection with this payment, the Company made a corresponding pro rata distribution of $34.7 million ($0.15 per AOG Unit) to the Non-Controlling Interest holders in the Apollo Operating Group. In April 2020, Apollo made a $48.2 million cash payment pursuant to the tax receivable agreement resulting from the realized tax benefit for the 2019 tax year. In connection with this payment, the Company made a corresponding pro rata distribution of $43.0 million ($0.21 per AOG Unit) to the Non-Controlling Interest holders in the Apollo Operating Group.
Pursuant to the binding governance term sheet the Company entered into with the Co-Founders, all AOG Units beneficially owned by each holder of AOG Units (other than Athene) will be transferred to a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company (“NewCo”) and one or more of its affiliates in a series of transactions in exchange for (i) such number of shares of Class A common stock of NewCo equal to the aggregate number of AOG Units beneficially owned by such AOG Unit owners as of immediately prior to the mandatory exchange (such AOG Units, the “Outstanding AOG Units”) and (ii) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of (a) number of Outstanding AOG Units multiplied by (b) $3.66, payable over a period of four years in equal quarterly installments (the “AOG Unit Payment”); provided, however, that in the event that the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement simultaneously with the mandatory exchange, the AOG Unit Payment will be payable over the period between the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated and the third anniversary of the Mandatory Exchange Date in equal quarterly installments (such transactions collectively, the “mandatory exchange”).

The term sheet also states that the tax receivable agreement will not be applicable for the mandatory exchange, but will remain in effect for any exchanges occurring prior to the mandatory exchange date.
Due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employees
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, due from Contributing Partners, Employees and Former Employees includes various amounts due to the Company including employee loans and return of profit sharing distributions. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the balance included interest-bearing employee loans receivable of $15.8 million and $17.5 million, respectively. The outstanding principal amount of the loans as well as all accrued and unpaid interest is required to be repaid at the earlier of the eighth anniversary of the date of the relevant loan or at the date of the relevant employee’s resignation from the Company.
The Company recorded a receivable from the Contributing Partners and certain employees and former employees for the potential return of profit sharing distributions that would be due if certain funds were liquidated as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 of $67.7 million and $124.1 million, respectively.
Indemnity
Performance revenues from certain funds can be distributed to the Company on a current basis, but are subject to repayment by the subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group that act as general partners of the funds in the event that certain specified return thresholds are not ultimately achieved. The Co-Founders, Contributing Partners and certain other investment professionals have personally guaranteed, subject to certain limitations, the obligations of these subsidiaries in respect of this general partner obligation. Such guarantees are several and not joint and are limited to a particular Co-Founders’ or Contributing Partner’s distributions. Pursuant to an existing shareholders agreement, the Company has agreed to indemnify each of the Company’s Co-Founders and certain Contributing Partners against all amounts that they pay pursuant to any of these personal guarantees in favor of certain funds that the Company manages (including costs and expenses related to investigating the basis for or objecting to any claims made in respect of the guarantees) for all interests that the Company’s Co-Founders and Contributing Partners have contributed or sold to the Apollo Operating Group.
Accordingly, in the event that the Company’s Co-Founders, Contributing Partners and certain investment professionals are required to pay amounts in connection with a general partner obligation for the return of previously made distributions with respect to Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI, the Company will be obligated to reimburse the Company’s Co-Founders and certain Contributing Partners for the indemnifiable percentage of amounts that they are required to pay even though the Company did not receive the certain distribution to which that general partner obligation related. The Company recorded an indemnification liability of $13.2 million and $12.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
Due to Credit, Private Equity and Real Assets Funds
Based upon an assumed liquidation of certain of the credit, private equity and real assets funds the Company manages, the Company has recorded a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance allocations, which represents amounts due to these funds. The general partner obligation is recognized based upon an assumed liquidation of a fund’s net assets as of the reporting date. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of a fund’s investments based on the contractual termination of the fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement or other governing document of the fund.

Athene and Apollo Strategic Transaction
On October 28, 2019 Athene Holding, AGM Inc. and the entities that form the Apollo Operating Group entered into a Transaction Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things:
(i) Athene Holding issued, on February 28, 2020 (the “Closing Date”), 35,534,942 Class A common shares of Athene Holding (the “AHL Class A Common Shares”) to certain subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group in exchange for (i) issuance by the Apollo Operating Group of 29,154,519 non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group to AHL and (ii) $350 million in cash (“Share Issuance”);
Athene Holding granted to AGM Inc. the right to purchase additional AHL Class A Common Shares from the Closing Date until 180 days thereafter to the extent the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares beneficially owned by Apollo and certain of its related parties and employees (collectively, the “Apollo Parties”) (inclusive of AHL Class A Common Shares over which any such persons have a valid proxy) do not equal at least 35% of the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares, on a fully diluted basis;
A representative of the Apollo Operating Group has the right to purchase up to that number of AHL Class A Common Shares that would increase by up to 5% the percentage of the issued and outstanding AHL Class A Common Shares beneficially owned by the Apollo Parties (inclusive of AHL Class A Common Shares over which any such persons have a valid proxy), calculated on a fully diluted basis;
Athene Holding amended and restated its Twelfth Amended and Restated Bye-laws of Athene Holding to, among other items, eliminate Athene Holding’s multi-class share structure (“Multi-Class Share Elimination”). In connection with the Multi-Class Share Elimination, (i) all of the Class B common shares of Athene Holding would be converted into an equal number of AHL Class A Common Shares on a one-for-one basis and (ii) all of the Class M common shares of Athene Holding were converted into a combination of AHL Class A Common Shares and warrants to purchase AHL Class A Common Shares.
On February 28, 2020, Apollo and Athene closed on the strategic transaction discussed above. In connection with the transaction, Apollo purchased a 17% incremental equity stake in Athene at a premium, bringing Apollo’s beneficial ownership in Athene to 28%, or 35% including shares and warrants owned by related parties and employees, on a fully diluted basis. Apollo entered into a lock-up agreement restricting transfers of Apollo’s existing and newly acquired shares of Athene for three years from the Closing Date.
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company held a 28.4% and an 28.5% ownership interest in the AHL Class A Common Shares, respectively.
Liquidity Agreement
In connection with the consummation of the Share Issuance and the Multi-Class Share Elimination, AGM Inc. also entered into a Liquidity Agreement, dated as of the Closing Date, with Athene Holding (the “Liquidity Agreement”), pursuant to which, once each quarter, Athene Holding is entitled to request to sell a number of AOG Units or request AGM Inc. to sell a number of shares of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock or AOG Units representing at least $50 million, in each case, in exchange for payment of the Cash Amount (as defined below). If Athene Holding intends to exercise such sale request, it will provide a notice of such intent to sell such AOG Units to AGM Inc. Upon receipt of such notice, subject to certain restrictions described below, AGM Inc. will consummate, or, in the case of an AOG Transaction (as defined below), permit the consummation of, one of the following transactions:
a transaction whereby AGM Inc. purchases AOG Units from Athene Holding at a price agreed upon, in good faith, by AGM Inc. and Athene Holding (a “Purchase Transaction”);
if Athene Holding and AGM Inc. do not agree to consummate a Purchase Transaction, AGM Inc. will use its best efforts to consummate a public offering of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock, the proceeds (net of certain commissions, fees and expenses consistent with customary and prevailing market practices for similar offerings) of which will be used to fund the purchase of AOG Units from Athene Holding (a “Registered Sale”);
if AGM Inc. notifies Athene Holding that it cannot consummate a Registered Sale, upon Athene Holding’s request, AGM Inc. will use its best efforts to consummate a sale of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock pursuant to an

exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, the proceeds (net of certain commissions, fees and expenses consistent with customary and prevailing market practices for similar offerings) of which will be used to fund the purchase of AOG Units from Athene Holding (a “Private Placement,” and collectively with a Purchase Transaction and a Registered Sale, a “Sale Transaction”); or
if AGM Inc. elects (in its sole discretion) not to consummate a Sale Transaction, Athene Holding will be permitted to sell AOG Units in one or more transactions that are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, subject to certain restrictions (an “AOG Transaction”).

Each of the Purchase Transaction, Private Placement, Registered Sale and AOG Transaction are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Liquidity Agreement.
In the event that an AOG Transaction is consummated, the buyer of such AOG Units will be prohibited from exchanging such AOG Units into AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock for at least 30 days after such purchase. Athene Holding is prohibited from consummating an AOG Transaction with any purchaser (i) who would, after giving effect to such transfer, own more than 3.5% of the issued and outstanding AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock (on a fully-diluted basis) or (ii) who is a “bad actor” (as defined in Regulation D of the Act) or otherwise a prohibited transferee, as described in the Liquidity Agreement.
Athene Holding’s liquidity rights are subject to certain other limitations and obligations, including that in a Registered Sale or a Private Placement, AGM Inc. will not be required to sell any AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock at a price that is less than 90% of the volume-weighted average price of the AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock for the 10 consecutive business days prior to the day Athene Holding submits a notice for sale of AOG Units.
The Liquidity Agreement also provides that Athene Holding is prohibited from transferring its AOG Units other than to an affiliate or pursuant to the options set forth above. AGM Inc. has the right not to consummate a Registered Sale or a Private Placement if the recipient of the Class A Common Stock would receive more than 2.0% of the outstanding and issued shares of AGM Inc. Class A Common Stock. Additionally, AGM Inc. has the right not to consummate an AOG Transaction if the recipient would, following such AOG Transaction, be the beneficial owner of greater than 3.5% of the AOG Units.

At the effective time of the AHL Merger, each outstanding option to purchase AHL Shares, award of restricted AHL Shares and award of AHL restricted share units will be converted into a similar award (with the same terms and conditions) with respect to HoldCo Shares based on the exchange ratio, in each case, as described further in the Merger Agreement; except that outstanding awards of restricted AHL Shares and AHL restricted share units, in each case, that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions, will convert into time-based awards with respect to HoldCo Shares based on the applicable target-level of performance and will vest at the end of the applicable performance period.
At the effective time of the AGM Merger, each outstanding option to purchase AGM Inc. Class A shares, award of restricted AGM Inc. Class A shares and award of AGM Inc. restricted share units will be converted into a similar award (with the same terms and conditions, including any performance conditions) with respect to HoldCo Shares, in each case, as described further in the Merger Agreement.
The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, AGM Inc. will be obligated to pay AHL a cash termination fee of $81.9 million if: (i) the board of directors of AGM Inc. withdraws, suspends, withholds or in any manner adverse to AHL amends its recommendation of approval of the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement by AGM stockholders, and (ii) AGM Inc. stockholder approval of the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement is not obtained at the AGM Inc. stockholder meeting at which the AGM Merger and the Merger Agreement is submitted for approval.

AINV Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Management Agreement
On May 17, 2018, the board of directors of AINV approved an amended and restated investment advisory management agreement with Apollo Investment Management, L.P., the Company’s consolidated subsidiary, which reduced the base management fee and revised the incentive fee on income to include a total return requirement.

In addition, beginning January 1, 2019, the incentive fee on income calculation included a total return requirement with a rolling twelve quarter look-back starting from April 1, 2018.

Debt Covenants—Apollo’s debt obligations contain various customary loan covenants. As of June 30, 2021, the Company was not aware of any instances of non-compliance with the financial covenants contained in the documents governing the Company’s debt obligations.
Litigation and ContingenciesApollo is, from time to time, party to various legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including claims and lawsuits, reviews, investigations or proceedings by governmental and self-regulatory agencies regarding its business.
On August 3, 2017, a complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida against AGM Inc., a senior partner of Apollo and a former principal of Apollo by Michael McEvoy on behalf of a purported class of employees of subsidiaries of CEVA Group, LLC (“CEVA Group”) who purchased shares in CEVA Investment Limited (“CIL”), the former parent company of CEVA Group. The complaint alleged that the defendants breached fiduciary duties to and defrauded the plaintiffs by inducing them to purchase shares in CIL and subsequently participating in a debt restructuring of CEVA Group in which shareholders of CIL did not receive a recovery. On February 9, 2018, the Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York held that the claims asserted in the complaint were assets of CIL, which is a chapter 7 debtor, and that the complaint was null and void as a violation of the automatic stay. McEvoy subsequently revised his complaint to attempt to assert claims that do not belong to CIL. The amended complaint no longer named any individual defendants, but Apollo Management VI, L.P. and CEVA Group were added as defendants. The amended complaint sought damages of approximately €30 million and asserts, among other things, claims for violations of the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, breach of fiduciary duties, and breach of contract. On December 7, 2018, after receiving permission from the Bankruptcy Court, McEvoy filed his amended complaint in the District Court in Florida. On January 18, 2019, Apollo filed a motion to dismiss the amended complaint. A hearing on that motion was held December 3, 2019. On January 6, 2020, the Florida court granted in part Apollo’s motion to dismiss, dismissing McEvoy’s Investment Advisers Act claim with prejudice, and denying without prejudice Apollo’s motion with respect to the remaining claims, and directing the parties to conduct limited discovery, and submit new briefing, solely with respect to the statute of limitations. On July 30, 2020, Apollo and CEVA filed a joint motion for summary judgment on statute of limitations grounds. On June 29, the District Court issued a decision denying the defendants’ joint motion for summary judgment on statute of limitations grounds, and set deadlines on July 23, 2021 for the plaintiff to file an amended complaint and August 20, 2021 for defendants to answer or move to dismiss the amended complaint. Plaintiff filed his second amended complaint on July 23, 2021 which added alleged grounds for tolling the statute of limitations. Also on July 23, 2021, the defendants filed a joint motion for reconsideration with respect to aspects of the District Court’s June 29, 2021 decision. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.
On December 21, 2017, Harbinger Capital Partners II, LP, Harbinger Capital Partners Master Fund I, Ltd., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations Fund, L.P., Harbinger Capital Partners Special Situations GP, LLC, Harbinger Capital Partners Offshore Manager, L.L.C., Global Opportunities Breakaway Ltd. (in voluntary liquidation), and Credit Distressed Blue Line Master Fund, Ltd. (collectively, “Harbinger”) commenced an action in New York Supreme Court captioned Harbinger Capital Partners II LP et al. v. Apollo Global Management LLC, et al. (No. 657515/2017). The complaint named as defendants (i) AGM Inc., (ii) the funds managed by Apollo that invested in SkyTerra Communications, Inc. (“SkyTerra”) equity before selling their interests to Harbinger under an April 2008 agreement that closed in 2010, and (iii) six former SkyTerra directors, five of whom are current or former Apollo employees. The complaint alleged that during the period of Harbinger’s various equity and debt investments in SkyTerra, from 2004 to 2010, the defendants concealed from Harbinger material defects in SkyTerra technology that was to be used to create a new mobile wi-fi network. The complaint alleged that Harbinger would not have made investments in SkyTerra totaling approximately $1.9 billion had it known of the defects, and that the public disclosure of these defects ultimately led to SkyTerra filing for bankruptcy in 2012 (after it had been renamed LightSquared). The complaint asserted claims against (i) all defendants for fraud, civil conspiracy, and negligent misrepresentation, (ii) AGM Inc. and the Apollo-managed funds only for breach of fiduciary duty, breach of contract, and unjust enrichment, and (iii) the SkyTerra director defendants only for aiding and abetting breach of fiduciary duty. The complaint sought $1.9 billion in damages, as well as punitive damages, interest, costs, and fees. This action was stayed from February 14, 2018, through June 12, 2019. On February 14, 2018, the defendants moved the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York to reopen the LightSquared bankruptcy proceeding for the limited purpose of enforcing Harbinger’s assignment and release in that bankruptcy of the claims that it asserted in the New York state court action (the “Bankruptcy Motion”). Briefing and hearing on the Bankruptcy Motion were adjourned while the state court stay was pending. On June 12, 2019, Harbinger voluntarily discontinued the state action without prejudice subject to a tolling agreement, and Apollo voluntarily withdrew the Bankruptcy Motion subject to a right to refile the motion if Harbinger were to refile the state court action. On June 8, 2020, Harbinger refiled its litigation in New York Supreme Court, captioned Harbinger Capital Partners II, LP et al. v. Apollo Global Management, LLC et al. (No. 652342/2020).  The complaint adds eight new defendants:

two former SkyTerra executives, one former SkyTerra consultant, and five entities (four of whom have since been dismissed) that were Harbinger’s counterparties in a transaction involving TVCC One Six Holdings LLC (“TVCC”).  It also adds three new claims relating to Harbinger’s contention that the new defendants induced Harbinger to buy TVCC to support SkyTerra’s network even though they allegedly knew that the network had material defects. The parties agreed to stay this action until November 15, 2020. On November 23, 2020, Defendants refiled the Bankruptcy Motion, and on November 24, 2020, filed in the state court a motion to stay the state court proceedings pending a ruling by the Bankruptcy Court on the Bankruptcy Motion. On February 1, 2021, the Bankruptcy Court denied the Bankruptcy Motion. On March 31, 2021, Defendants filed their motions to dismiss the New York Supreme Court action. Harbinger opposed those motions on June 15, 2021. Defendants’ replies were due on July 29, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.
Five shareholders filed substantially similar putative class action lawsuits in the Circuit Court of the Fifteenth Judicial Circuit in and for Palm Beach County, Florida in March, April, and May 2018, alleging violations of the Securities Act in connection with the January 19, 2018 IPO of ADT Inc. common stock. The actions were consolidated on July 10, 2018, and the case was re-captioned, In re ADT Inc. Shareholder Litigation. On August 24, 2018, the state-court plaintiffs filed a consolidated complaint naming as defendants ADT Inc., several ADT officers and directors, the IPO underwriters (including Apollo Global Securities, LLC), AGM Inc. and certain other Apollo affiliates. Plaintiffs generally alleged that the registration statement and prospectus for the IPO contained false and misleading statements and failed to disclose material information about certain litigation in which ADT was involved, ADT’s efforts to protect its intellectual property, and competitive pressures ADT faced. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the consolidated complaint on October 23, 2018, and those motions were fully briefed. On May 21, 2018, a similar shareholder class action lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, naming as defendants ADT, several officers and directors, and AGM Inc. The federal action, captioned Perdomo v. ADT Inc., generally alleged that the registration statement was materially misleading because it failed to disclose ongoing deterioration in ADT’s financial results, along with certain customer and business metrics. On July 20, 2018, several alleged ADT shareholders filed competing motions to be named lead plaintiff in the federal action. On November 20, 2018, the court appointed a lead plaintiff, and on January 15, 2019, the lead plaintiff filed an amended complaint. The amended complaint named the same Apollo-affiliated defendants as the state-court action, along with three new Apollo entities. Defendants filed motions to dismiss on March 25, 2019. On July 26, 2019, the state court denied defendants’ motions to dismiss, except it reserved judgment on the question whether it has personal jurisdiction over certain defendants, including the Apollo defendants. On September 12, 2019, all parties to the state and federal actions reached a settlement in principle that would resolve both actions. The plaintiffs in the federal action voluntarily dismissed their action on October 28, 2019, and the settlement was submitted to the state court for approval. On January 8, 2021, the state court entered a final order and judgment approving the settlement and dismissing the state action with prejudice. The settlement requires no payment from any Apollo defendants.
On May 3, 2018, Caldera Holdings Ltd, Caldera Life Reinsurance Company, and Caldera Shareholder, L.P. (collectively, “Caldera”) filed a summons with notice in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, New York County, naming as defendants AGM Inc., Apollo Management, L.P., Apollo Advisors VIII, L.P., Apollo Capital Management VIII, LLC, Athene Asset Management, L.P., Athene Holding, Ltd., and Leon Black (collectively, “Defendants” and all but Athene Holding, Ltd., the “Apollo Defendants”). On July 12, 2018, Caldera filed a complaint, Index No. 652175/2018 (the “Complaint”), alleging three causes of action: (1) tortious interference with prospective business relations/prospective economic advantage; (2) defamation/trade disparagement/injurious falsehood; and (3) unfair competition. The Complaint sought damages of no less than $1.5 billion, as well as exemplary and punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, interest, and an injunction. Defendants moved to dismiss the Complaint on September 21, 2018 and Caldera filed an amended complaint on January 21, 2019 (the “Amended Complaint”). Defendants moved to dismiss the Amended Complaint, and the Apollo Defendants submitted to the Court a Final Arbitration Award issued on April 26, 2019 in a JAMS arbitration, finding Caldera, Imran Siddiqui, and Ming Dang liable for various causes of action, including breaches of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting thereof. Oral argument on the motions to dismiss was held on May 31, 2019. On December 20, 2019, the Court issued a Decision and Order dismissing Caldera’s complaint in its entirety as against all Defendants. On December 23, 2019, the Apollo Defendants filed a Notice of Entry of the Decision and Order. On January 8, 2020, Caldera filed a Notice of Appeal.
On March 7, 2019, plaintiff Elizabeth Morrison filed an amended complaint in an action captioned Morrison v. Ray Berry, et. al., Case No. 12808-VCG, pending in the Delaware Court of Chancery, adding as defendants AGM Inc. and certain AGM Inc. affiliates. The original complaint had only named as defendants certain officers and directors (the “TFM defendants”) of The Fresh Market, Inc. (“TFM”), claiming that those defendants breached their fiduciary duties to the TFM shareholders in connection with their consideration and approval of a merger agreement between TFM and certain entities affiliated with Apollo, including by engaging in a sale process that improperly favored AGM Inc., and/or Apollo Management

VIII, L.P., by agreeing to an inadequate price and by filing materially deficient disclosures regarding the transaction. In addition to AGM Inc., the amended complaint added as defendants Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware 892) VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners (Delaware) VIII, L.P., Apollo Overseas Partners VIII, L.P., Apollo Management VIII, L.P., AIF VIII Management, LLC, Apollo Management, L.P., Apollo Management GP, LLC, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., Apollo Management Holdings GP, LLC, APO Corp., AP Professional Holdings, L.P., Apollo Advisors VIII, L.P., Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P., Pomegranate Holdings, Inc., and other defendants. The amended complaint alleged that the Apollo defendants aided and abetted the breaches of fiduciary duties by the TFM defendants. After the defendants moved to dismiss the complaint on May 1, 2019, Plaintiff filed a second amended complaint on June 3, 2019, maintaining the same claim against the same Apollo defendants as the prior complaint. Defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint on July 12, 2019. On December 31, 2019, the court issued a decision dismissing certain of the TFM defendants while denying the motions of others. The court deferred ruling on the motions filed by several defendants, including the Apollo-affiliated defendants. On June 1, 2020, the Court granted the Apollo-affiliated defendants’ motion to dismiss, but the case remained pending against the officer defendants and TFM’s financial advisor in the transaction. On July 7, 2021, the court approved a settlement among the Plaintiff and the remaining defendants. The settlement required no payment from any Apollo-affiliated defendants.
On October 21, 2019, a putative class action complaint was filed in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Presidio, Inc. (“Presidio”), all of the members of Presidio’s board of directors (including five directors who are affiliated with Apollo), and BC Partners Advisors L.P. and Port Merger Sub, Inc. (together, “BCP”) challenging the then-pending acquisition of Presidio by BCP (the “Presidio Merger”). The action is captioned Firefighters Pension System of City of Kansas City, Missouri Trust v. Presidio, Inc. et al, C.A. No. 2019-0839-JTL. The original complaint alleged that the Presidio directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the negotiation of the Presidio Merger and that the disclosures Presidio made in its filings with the SEC in connection with the Presidio Merger omitted material information, and that BCP aided and abetted those alleged breaches. On November 5, 2019, the Court of Chancery held a hearing on a motion by plaintiffs to preliminarily enjoin the stockholder vote and denied that motion. On January 28, 2020, following the closing of the Presidio Merger, plaintiffs filed an amended class action complaint, adding as defendants AGM Inc. and AP VIII Aegis Holdings, L.P. (together, the “Apollo Defendants”) and LionTree Advisors, LLC (Presidio’s financial advisor in connection with the Presidio Merger). The amended complaint alleges, among other things, that the Presidio directors breached their fiduciary duties in connection with the Presidio Merger, that the filings with the SEC in connection with the Presidio Merger omitted material information, that the Apollo Defendants were controlling stockholders of Presidio and breached their alleged fiduciary duties to Presidio’s public stockholders, and that BCP, LionTree and the Apollo Defendants aided and abetted breaches of fiduciary duties. The amended complaint seeks, among other relief, declaratory relief, class certification, and unspecified money damages. The defendants completed briefing on motions to dismiss the amended complaint on April 30, 2020. On January 29, 2021, the Court of Chancery issued an opinion and accompanying orders granting the Apollo Defendants’ motion to dismiss, granting the motions to dismiss filed by the directors other than Presidio’s CEO, and denying motions to dismiss as to BCP, Liontree, and Presidio’s CEO. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit.
On November 1, 2019, plaintiff Benjamin Fongers filed a putative class action in Illinois Circuit Court, Cook County, against CareerBuilder, LLC (“CareerBuilder”) and AGM Inc. Plaintiff alleges that in March 2019, CareerBuilder changed its compensation plan so that sales representatives such as Fongers would (i) receive reduced commissions; and (ii) only be able to receive commissions for accounts they originated that were not reassigned to anyone else, a departure from the earlier plan.  Plaintiff also claims that the plan applied retroactively to deprive sales representatives of commissions to which they were earlier entitled.  Plaintiff alleges that AGM Inc. exercises complete control over CareerBuilder and thus, CareerBuilder acts as AGM Inc.’s agent.  Based on these allegations, Plaintiff alleges claims against both defendants for breach of written contract, breach of implied contract, unjust enrichment, violation of the Illinois Sales Representative Act, and violation of the Illinois Wage and Payment Collection Act. The defendants removed the action to the Northern District of Illinois on December 5, 2019, and Plaintiff moved to remand on January 6, 2020. On October 21, 2020, the District Court granted the motion to remand. On January 11, 2021, the District Court ordered the Clerk of Court to take the necessary steps to transfer the case back to Illinois Circuit Court, Cook County. On March 8, 2021, Plaintiff filed a motion under 28 U.S.C. § 1447(c) to recover attorneys’ fees of approximately $35,000 for the remand briefing. Defendants filed their opposition on March 31, 2021, and Plaintiff replied on April 14, 2021. Defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint in the Illinois Circuit Court, Cook County on June 11; plaintiff filed his opposition briefs on July 23; defendants’ replies are due August 13; and a status conference is set for August 18, 2021. CareerBuilder has also filed a Motion for a Protective Order and to Stay Discovery pending the outcome of the motions to dismiss. That motion will be fully briefed on July 26, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

In March 2020, Frank Funds, which claims to be a former shareholder of MPM Holdings, Inc. (“MPM”), commenced an action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, captioned Frank Funds v. Apollo Global Management, Inc., et al., C.A. No. 2020-0130, against AGM Inc., certain former MPM directors (including three Apollo officers and employees), and members of the consortium that acquired MPM in a May 2019 merger. The complaint asserts, on behalf of a putative class of former MPM shareholders, a claim against Apollo for breach of its fiduciary duties as MPM’s alleged controlling shareholder in connection with the May 2019 merger in which a consortium acquired MPM. Frank Funds seeks unspecified compensatory damages. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. On July 1, 2020, Apollo moved to dismiss the complaint; briefing on that motion did not occur because the complaint was superseded, as described herein. On July 23, 2019, a group of former MPM shareholders filed an appraisal petition in Delaware Chancery Court seeking the fair value of their MPM shares that were purchased through MPM’s May 15, 2019 merger with a consortium of buyers, in an action captioned In re Appraisal of MPM Holdings, Inc., C.A. No. 2019-0519 (Del. Ch.). While Apollo was not a party to the appraisal action, it was served a document subpoena on October 22, 2019, to which it responded. On June 3, 2020, petitioners moved for leave to file a verified amended appraisal petition and class-action complaint that included claims for breach of fiduciary duty and/or aiding and abetting breaches of fiduciary duty against AGM Inc., the Apollo-affiliated fund that owned MPM’s shares before the merger, certain former MPM directors (including three Apollo employees), and members of the consortium that acquired MPM, based on alleged actions related to the May 2019 merger. The petitioners also sought to consolidate their appraisal proceeding with the Frank Funds action, and notified the Delaware Chancery Court via letter on September 23, 2020, that they had reached an agreement in principle with Frank Funds to consolidate the two cases. On November 13, 2020, the Chancery Court granted the parties’ stipulated order to consolidate the two matters, and on December 21, 2020, the Chancery Court granted petitioners’ motion for leave to file the proposed amended complaint. This new consolidated action is captioned In Re MPM Holdings Inc. Appraisal and Stockholder Litigation, C.A. No. 2019-0519 (Del Ch.). Defendants filed motions to dismiss the amended complaint on February 19, 2021, and the motions were fully briefed on July 26, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.
On March 12, 2020, AGM Inc. and several investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM Inc. (the “Apollo Funds”) were added as defendants in a class action filed by plaintiff Zachary Blair on December 7, 2017, in the Superior Court of California.  Plaintiff alleges he is a former employee of Classic Party Rentals, a party equipment rental company previously owned by the Apollo Funds. Plaintiff alleges that Classic Party Rentals failed to comply with California wage and hour and related laws, and also has asserted claims based on various provisions of the California labor code and California’s unfair competition laws. On October 11, 2019, the court certified a class of current and former non-exempt drivers, assistant drivers, and organizer employees of Classic Party Rentals who were paid on an hourly basis and who worked at Classic Party Rentals in California at any time from December 7, 2013, through the date of the class certification order. After being served with the Complaint in July 2020, a co-defendant removed the matter to the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of California on August 24, 2020, and AGM Inc. and the Apollo Funds filed a motion to dismiss all claims against them on September 23, 2020. On March 24, 2021, the motion to dismiss was granted and the court dismissed the complaint without prejudice. On June 21, 2021, pursuant to a settlement reached by the parties, the court dismissed with prejudice the plaintiff’s individual claims and without prejudice the putative class claims against AGM Inc. and the Apollo Funds.
On May 29, 2020, plaintiff Vrajeshkumar Patel filed a putative stockholder derivative and class action complaint in the Delaware Court of Chancery against Talos Energy, Inc. (“Talos”), all of the members of Talos’s board of directors (including two Apollo partners), Riverstone Holdings, LLC (“Riverstone”), AGM Inc., and Guggenheim Securities, LLC in connection with the acquisition of certain assets from Castex Energy 2014, LLC and ILX Holdings, LLC in February 2020. The complaint asserts, on behalf of a putative class of shareholders and Talos, direct and derivative claims against Apollo, Riverstone, and the individual defendants for breach of their fiduciary duties. The plaintiff alleges that Apollo and Riverstone comprise a controlling shareholder group. The complaint seeks, among other relief, class certification and unspecified money damages. On August 4, 2020, the defendants filed motions to dismiss the complaint in its entirety. The motion is now fully briefed and oral argument was held on February 19, 2021. On May 17, 2021, Vice Chancellor Zurn sent a letter to counsel ordering that the Riverstone funds and Apollo funds that hold the relevant Talos stock be joined as necessary parties. The parties filed a stipulation, which was entered by the court on June 7, 2021, adding Riverstone Talos Energy Equityco LLC, Riverstone Talos Energy Debtco LLC, Apollo Talos Holdings, L.P., and AP Talos Energy Debtco LLC as defendants in the action. These parties adopted the arguments previously advanced by the Riverstone and Apollo defendants, and did not engage in any separate briefing or argument. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.

On August 4, 2020, a putative class action complaint was filed in the United States District Court for the District of Nevada against PlayAGS Inc. (“PlayAGS”), all of the members of PlayAGS’s board of directors (including three directors who are affiliated with Apollo), certain underwriters of PlayAGS (including Apollo Global Securities, LLC), as well as AGM Inc., Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P., Apollo Gaming Holdings, L.P., and Apollo Gaming Voteco, LLC (these last four parties, together, the “Apollo Defendants”). The complaint asserts claims arising under the Securities Act of 1933 in connection with certain secondary offerings of PlayAGS stock conducted in August 2018 and March 2019, alleging that the registration statements issued in connection with those offerings did not fully disclose certain business challenges facing PlayAGS. Such claims are asserted against all defendants, including Apollo Global Securities, LLC and the Apollo Defendants, as well as all directors (including the directors affiliated with Apollo). The complaint further asserts a control person claim under Section 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 against the Apollo Defendants and the director defendants (including the directors affiliated with Apollo), alleging that the Apollo Defendants and the director defendants were responsible for certain misstatements and omissions by PlayAGS about its business during a putative class period from May 3, 2018 through August 7, 2019. Plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on January 21, 2021, and they filed a further amended complaint on March 25, 2021. Apollo filed a motion to dismiss on May 24, 2021. Plaintiffs filed an opposition to the motion to dismiss on July 23, 2021. Apollo’s reply brief is due September 13, 2021. Apollo believes the claims in this action are without merit. Because this action is in the early stages, no reasonable estimate of possible loss, if any, can be made at this time.
Commitments and Contingencies—Other long-term obligations relate to payments with respect to certain consulting agreements entered into by Apollo Investment Consulting LLC, a subsidiary of Apollo, as well as long-term service contracts. A significant portion of these costs are reimbursable by funds or portfolio companies. As of June 30, 2021, fixed and determinable payments due in connection with these obligations were as follows:
Remaining 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Thereafter Total
Other long-term obligations $ 21,523  $ 7,555  $ 2,020  $ 820  $ 711  $ 711  $ 33,340 
Contingent Obligations—Performance allocations with respect to certain funds are subject to reversal in the event of future losses to the extent of the cumulative revenues recognized in income to date. If all of the existing investments became worthless, the amount of cumulative revenues that have been recognized by Apollo through June 30, 2021 and that would be reversed approximates $4.1 billion. Management views the possibility of all of the investments becoming worthless as remote. Performance allocations are affected by changes in the fair values of the underlying investments in the funds that Apollo manages. Valuations, on an unrealized basis, can be significantly affected by a variety of external factors including, but not limited to, bond yields and industry trading multiples. Movements in these items can affect valuations quarter to quarter even if the underlying business fundamentals remain stable.
Additionally, at the end of the life of certain funds that the Company manages, there could be a payment due to a fund by the Company if the Company, as general partner, has received more performance allocations than was ultimately earned. The general partner obligation amount, if any, will depend on final realized values of investments at the end of the life of each fund or as otherwise set forth in the respective limited partnership agreement of the fund. See note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the general partner obligation.
Certain funds may not generate performance allocations as a result of unrealized and realized losses that are recognized in the current and prior reporting period. In certain cases, performance allocations will not be generated until additional unrealized and realized gains occur. Any appreciation would first cover the deductions for invested capital, unreturned organizational expenses, operating expenses, management fees and priority returns based on the terms of the respective fund agreements.
One of the Company’s subsidiaries, AGS, provides underwriting commitments in connection with securities offerings of related parties of Apollo, including portfolio companies of the funds Apollo manages, as well as third parties. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no open underwriting commitments.
In connection with the launch of a non-traded business development company (“BDC”), the Company agreed to guarantee a commitment to purchase the underlying portfolio investment, in the event the BDC does not raise sufficient third party capital. The Company’s maximum commitment is $510 million, and is backstopped by an unconsolidated related party fund up to $500 million. The likelihood that performance under the guarantee arrangement will be required is determined to be remote.

Merger Agreement Termination Fee—In connection with the merger with Athene Holding, the Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon termination of the Merger Agreement, AGM Inc. will be obligated to pay AHL a cash termination fee of $81.9 million. See note 14 for further disclosure regarding the Merger Agreement and termination fee.
Contingent Consideration—In connection with the acquisition of Stone Tower in April 2012, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of Stone Tower a specified percentage of any future performance revenues earned from certain of the Stone Tower funds, CLOs, and strategic investment accounts. This contingent consideration liability was determined based on the present value of estimated future performance revenue payments, and is recorded in profit sharing payable in the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition. The fair value of the remaining contingent obligation was $129.0 million and $119.8 million as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.
The contingent consideration obligations will be remeasured to fair value at each reporting period until the obligations are satisfied and are characterized as Level III liabilities. The changes in the fair value of the contingent consideration obligations is reflected in profit sharing expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. See note 6 for further information regarding fair value measurements.
16. SEGMENT REPORTING
Apollo conducts its business primarily in the United States through three reportable segments: credit, private equity and real assets. Segment information is utilized by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. These segments were established based on the nature of investment activities in each underlying fund, including the specific type of investment made and the level of control over the investment.
The performance is measured by the Company’s chief operating decision maker on an unconsolidated basis because management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of Apollo’s business segments based on financial and operating metrics and data that exclude the effects of consolidation of any of the affiliated funds.
Segment Distributable Earnings
Segment Distributable Earnings, or “Segment DE”, is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s credit, private equity and real assets segments. Management believes the components of Segment DE, such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and realized performance fees, are indicative of the Company’s performance. Management uses Segment DE in making key operating decisions such as the following:
Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires;
Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for the business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses;
Decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in the funds and those of Apollo’s stockholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the performance fees earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on Apollo’s performance and growth for the year; and
Decisions related to the amount of earnings available for dividends to Class A Common Stockholders, holders of RSUs that participate in dividends and holders of AOG Units that participate in dividends.
Segment DE is a measure of profitability and has certain limitations in that it does not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. Segment DE represents the amount of Apollo’s net realized earnings, excluding the effects of the consolidation of any of the related funds and SPACs, taxes and related payables, transaction-related charges and any acquisitions. Transaction-related charges includes equity-based compensation charges, the amortization of intangible assets, contingent consideration, and certain other charges associated with acquisitions, and restructuring charges. In addition, Segment

DE excludes non-cash revenue and expense related to equity awards granted by unconsolidated related parties to employees of the Company, compensation and administrative related expense reimbursements, as well as the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and variable interest entities that are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Segment DE also excludes impacts of the remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement liability recorded in other income, which arises from changes in the associated deferred tax balance.
Segment DE may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies and is not a measure of performance calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP. We use Segment DE as a measure of operating performance, not as a measure of liquidity. Segment DE should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of Segment DE without consideration of related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above. Management compensates for these limitations by using Segment DE as a supplemental measure to U.S. GAAP results, to provide a more complete understanding of our performance as management measures it. A reconciliation of Segment DE to its most directly comparable U.S. GAAP measure of income (loss) before income tax provision can be found in this footnote.

Fee Related Earnings (“FRE”) is derived from our segment reported results and refers to a component of Segment DE that is used as a supplemental performance measure to assess whether revenues that we believe are generally more stable and predictable in nature, primarily consisting of management fees, are sufficient to cover associated operating expenses and generate profits. FRE is the sum across all segments of (i) management fees, (ii) advisory and transaction fees, (iii) performance fees related to business development companies, Redding Ridge Holdings LP (“Redding Ridge Holdings”), an affiliate of Redding Ridge, and MidCap and (iv) other income, net, less (x) salary, bonus and benefits, excluding equity-based compensation, (y) other associated operating expenses and (z) non-controlling interests in the management companies of certain funds the Company manages.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with Apollo Global Management, Inc.’s condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included within this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This discussion contains forward-looking statements that are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties. Actual results and the timing of events may differ significantly from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those in the section entitled “Risk Factors” in the 2020 Annual Report and Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 10, 2021. The highlights listed below have had significant effects on many items within our condensed consolidated financial statements and affect the comparison of the current period’s activity with those of prior periods.
General
Our Businesses
Founded in 1990, Apollo is a high-growth, global alternative asset manager. We are a contrarian, value-oriented asset manager in credit, private equity and real assets with significant distressed expertise and a flexible mandate in the majority of our funds which enables our funds to invest opportunistically across a company’s capital structure. We raise, invest and manage funds on behalf of some of the world’s most prominent pension, endowment and sovereign wealth funds as well as other institutional and individual investors. Apollo is led by Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan, who have worked together for more than 34 years and lead a team of 1,825 employees, including 569 investment professionals, as of June 30, 2021.
Apollo conducts its business primarily in the United States through the following three reportable segments:
(i)Credit—primarily invests in non-control corporate and structured debt instruments including performing, stressed and distressed instruments across the capital structure;
(ii)Private equity—primarily invests in control equity and related debt instruments, convertible securities and distressed debt instruments; and
(iii)Real assets—primarily invests in (i) real estate equity and infrastructure equity for the acquisition and recapitalization of real estate and infrastructure assets, portfolios, platforms and operating companies, (ii) real estate and infrastructure debt including first mortgage and mezzanine loans, preferred equity and commercial mortgage backed securities and (iii) European performing and non-performing loans, and unsecured consumer loans.
These business segments are differentiated based on the varying investment strategies. The performance is measured by management on an unconsolidated basis because management makes operating decisions and assesses the performance of each of Apollo’s business segments based on financial and operating metrics and data that exclude the effects of consolidation of any of the managed funds.
Our financial results vary since performance fees, which generally constitute a large portion of the income we receive from the funds that we manage, as well as the transaction and advisory fees that we receive, can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, we emphasize long-term financial growth and profitability to manage our business.
In addition, the growth in our Fee-Generating AUM during the last year has primarily been in our credit segment driven by continued growth in traditional funds and managed accounts as well as growth in asset management services to the insurance industry and in performing credit products. The average management fee rate for these new credit products is at market rates for such products and in certain cases is below our historical rates. Also, due to the complexity of these new product offerings, the Company has incurred and will continue to incur additional costs associated with managing these products. To date, these additional costs have been offset by realized economies of scale and ongoing cost management.
As of June 30, 2021, we had total AUM of $471.8 billion across all of our businesses. More than 89% of our total AUM was in funds with a contractual life at inception of five years or more, and 59% of such AUM was in permanent capital vehicles.

On December 31, 2017, Fund IX held its final closing, raising a total of $23.5 billion in third-party capital and approximately $1.2 billion of additional capital from Apollo and affiliated investors for total commitments of $24.7 billion. On December 31, 2013, Fund VIII held a final closing raising a total of $17.5 billion in third-party capital and approximately $880 million of additional capital from Apollo and affiliated investors, and as of June 30, 2021, Fund VIII had $2.5 billion of uncalled commitments remaining. Additionally, Fund VII held a final closing in December 2008, raising a total of $14.7 billion, and as of June 30, 2021, Fund VII had $1.8 billion of uncalled commitments remaining. We have consistently produced attractive long-term investment returns in our traditional private equity funds, generating a 39% gross IRR and a 25% net IRR on a compound annual basis from inception through June 30, 2021. Apollo’s private equity fund appreciation was 9.5% and 33.6% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
For our real assets segment, there was a total gross return of 4.0% and 7.7% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, which represents gross return for our real estate equity funds and their co-investment capital, the European principal finance funds, and infrastructure equity funds.

(“COI”).
(2)Our Co-Founders own BRH Holdings GP, Ltd., which in turn holds our only outstanding Class B share. As of August 4, 2021, the Class B share represented 7.7% of the total voting power of the Class A shares, the Class B share and the Class C share, voting together as a single class, with respect to General Stockholder Matters, and a de minimus economic interest in AGM Inc. As of August 4, 2021, the Class B share represented 45.6% of the total voting power of the Class A shares and the Class B share with respect to certain matters upon which they are entitled to vote as a single class.

(6)Represents 54.4% of the limited partner or limited liability company interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity, held through the intermediate holding companies. AGM Inc. also indirectly owns 100% of the general partner or managing member interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity.
(7)Represents 6.7% of the limited partner or limited liability company interests in each Apollo Operating Group entity held by Athene Holding Ltd. and/or its affiliates. AOG Units held by Athene are non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group and are not exchangeable for Class A shares.
Each of the Apollo Operating Group entities holds interests in different businesses or entities organized in different jurisdictions.
Our structure is designed to accomplish a number of objectives, the most important of which are as follows:
Historically, we were a holding company that was qualified as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Our intermediate holding companies enabled us to maintain our partnership status and to meet the qualifying income exception. Effective September 5, 2019, Apollo Global Management, LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation named Apollo Global Management, Inc.
We have historically used multiple management companies to segregate operations for business, financial and other reasons. Going forward, we may increase or decrease the number of our management companies, partnerships or other entities within the Apollo Operating Group based on our views regarding the appropriate balance between (a) administrative convenience and (b) continued business, financial, tax and other optimization.
On March 8, 2021, we announced that we entered into a binding governance term sheet with the Co-Founders. The term sheet sets forth a number of changes to our governance structure and a timeline for their implementation, including changes relating to:
• composition and size of our board of directors;
• Board committees, including to create a nominating and corporate governance committee, a compensation committee, and a new executive committee. The new executive committee will for the first year consist of at least three members, but no more than four members, including Jay Clayton, as the committee’s Chairman, Marc Rowan and Joshua Harris; and
• elimination of the Up-C structure – as promptly as practicable following the receipt of all required regulatory approvals:
• the single Class B share that is held by BRH Holdings GP, Ltd. will be converted into shares of Series I Preferred Stock of AGM Inc. equal in number to the outstanding AOG Units (other than those AOG Units held by the Company and Athene) and entitled to one vote per share on each matter properly presented to the stockholders of AGM Inc.;
• upon the issuance of the Series I Preferred Stock, the Co-Founders shall cause AGM Management, LLC to surrender to the Company the sole Class C share;
• on or prior to June 30, 2022, as designated by us, which date will coincide with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, provided that if the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement have not been consummated by June 30, 2022, then the mandatory exchange date will be June 30, 2022 (such date, the “Mandatory Exchange Date”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company (“NewCo”) will merge with and into AGM Inc., with AGM Inc. to be the surviving company in the merger. Upon consummation of this merger, each holder of a share of Class A common stock will receive on a tax-free basis shares of Class A common stock of NewCo and will no longer hold any equity interests in the Company;
• on the Mandatory Exchange Date all AOG Units beneficially owned by each holder of AOG Units (other than those held by the Company and Athene) will be transferred to NewCo and one or more of its affiliates in a series of transactions in exchange for (i) such number of shares of Class A common stock of NewCo equal to the aggregate

number of AOG Units beneficially owned by such AOG Unit owners as of immediately prior to the mandatory exchange (such AOG Units, the “Outstanding AOG Units”) and (ii) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of (a) number of Outstanding AOG Units multiplied by (b) $3.66, payable over a period of four years in equal quarterly installments (the “AOG Unit Payment”); provided, however, that in the event that we consummate the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement simultaneously with the mandatory exchange, the AOG Unit Payment will be payable over the period between the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated and the third anniversary of the Mandatory Exchange Date in equal quarterly installments (such transactions collectively, the “mandatory exchange”).
The term sheet also states that the tax receivable agreement will not be applicable for the mandatory exchange, but will remain in effect for any exchanges occurring prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date.
The parties to the term sheet agreed that, upon the surrender of the Class C share, the Company will provide each Co-Founder with certain stockholder rights set forth in a stockholder agreement, as provided in the term sheet.
Implementation of the provisions of the term sheet remains subject to regulatory and stockholder approvals, and there can be no certainty on the consummation or the timing of these changes.
Business Environment
As a global investment manager, we are affected by numerous factors, including the condition of financial markets and the economy. Price fluctuations within equity, credit, commodity, foreign exchange markets, as well as interest rates, which may be volatile and mixed across geographies, can significantly impact the valuation of our funds’ portfolio companies and related income we may recognize.
In the U.S., the S&P 500 Index increased by 8.2% during the second quarter of 2021, following an increase of 5.8% during the first quarter of 2021. Global equity markets also appreciated during the quarter, with the MSCI All Country World ex USA Index increasing 5.9% following an increase of 4.2% in the first quarter of 2021.
Conditions in the credit markets also have a significant impact on our business. Credit markets were positive in the second quarter of 2021, with the BofAML HY Master II Index increasing by 2.8%, while the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index increased by 1.1%. The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield decreased during the quarter to 1.45%. The Federal Reserve kept the benchmark interest rate steady during the last twelve months at a target range of 0% to 0.25%.
Foreign exchange rates can materially impact the valuations of our investments and those of our funds that are denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Relative to the U.S. dollar, the Euro appreciated 1.1% during the quarter, after depreciating by 4.0% in the first quarter of 2021, while the British pound appreciated 0.4% during the quarter, after appreciating 0.9% in the first quarter of 2021. The price of crude oil appreciated by 24.2% during the quarter, after appreciating by 21.9% during the first quarter of 2021.
In terms of economic conditions in the U.S., the Bureau of Economic Analysis reported real GDP increased at an annual rate of 6.5% in the second quarter of 2021, following an increase of 6.4% in the first quarter of 2021. As of July 2021, the International Monetary Fund estimated that the U.S. economy will expand by 7.0% in 2021 and 4.9% in 2022. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the U.S. unemployment rate decreased to 5.9% as of June 30, 2021.
Regardless of the market or economic environment at any given time, Apollo relies on its contrarian, value-oriented approach to consistently invest capital on behalf of its fund investors by focusing on opportunities that management believes are often overlooked by other investors. As such, Apollo’s global integrated investment platform deployed $27.8 billion and $52.7 billion of capital through the funds it manages during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Drawdown capital deployed was $6.5 billion and $9.2 billion during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. We believe Apollo’s expertise in credit and its focus on nine core industry sectors, combined with more than 31 years of investment experience, has allowed Apollo to respond quickly to changing environments. Apollo’s core industry sectors include chemicals, manufacturing and industrial, natural resources, consumer and retail, consumer services, business services, financial services, leisure, and media/telecom/technology. Apollo believes that these attributes have contributed to the success of its private equity funds investing in buyouts and credit opportunities during both expansionary and recessionary economic periods.
In general, institutional investors continue to allocate capital towards alternative investment managers for more attractive risk-adjusted returns in a low interest rate environment, and we believe the business environment remains generally

accommodative to raise larger successor funds, launch new products, and pursue attractive strategic growth opportunities, such as continuing to grow the assets of our permanent capital vehicles. As such, Apollo had $12.4 billion and $25.8 billion of capital inflows during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. Apollo returned $9.0 billion and $12.7 billion of capital and realized gains to the investors in the funds it manages during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively.
On October 20, 2020, at a regularly scheduled meeting of AGM Inc.’s board of directors, Apollo’s former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Leon Black, requested that the conflicts committee of the board of directors (comprised of independent directors) retain outside counsel to conduct a thorough review of, and independently confirm, the information that Mr. Black has conveyed about his previous professional relationship with Mr. Jeffrey Epstein. The conflicts committee had retained Dechert LLP as outside counsel to conduct a thorough, independent review which included interviewing individuals and examining relevant documents.
On January 25, 2021, the Company announced that the conflicts committee of the board of directors had completed its previously announced independent review of Mr. Black’s previous professional relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and publicly released the review’s findings. The findings of the report are consistent with statements made by Mr. Black and Apollo regarding the prior relationship.
On January 25, 2021, the Company announced that, at a meeting of the executive committee of our board of directors on January 24, 2021, Mr. Black informed the executive committee members that he intends to retire from his position as Chief Executive Officer of the Company on or before July 31, 2021. Leon Black, Marc Rowan and Joshua Harris, on behalf of our Class C Stockholder, voted to appoint Mr. Rowan as our Chief Executive Officer to begin serving in such role effective upon Mr. Black’s retirement.
On March 21, 2021, Mr. Black stepped down from his position as Chief Executive Officer, Director and Chairman, and as a member of the executive committee of our board of directors. Mr. Rowan formally assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer of AGM Inc. The executive committee of our board of directors appointed Lead Independent Director Jay Clayton to serve as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board effective March 21, 2021.
On May 20, 2021, the Company announced that Co-Founder Joshua Harris will step down from his day-to-day role at Apollo effective upon the closing date of Apollo’s merger with Athene, while continuing to serve on our board of directors and the executive committee of our board of directors.
Managing Business Performance
We believe that the presentation of Segment DE supplements a reader’s understanding of the economic operating performance of each of our segments.
Segment Distributable Earnings and Distributable Earnings
Segment DE is the key performance measure used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s credit, private equity and real assets segments. See note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details regarding the components of Segment DE. DE represents Segment DE less estimated current corporate, local and non-U.S. taxes as well as the current payable under Apollo’s tax receivable agreement. DE is net of preferred dividends, if any, to the Series A and Series B preferred stockholders. DE excludes the impacts of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which arises from changes in estimated future tax rates. The economic assumptions and methodologies that impact the implied income tax provision are similar to those methodologies and certain assumptions used in calculating the income tax provision for Apollo’s condensed consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. Specifically, certain deductions considered in the income tax provision under U.S. GAAP, such as the deduction for transaction related charges and equity-based compensation, are taken into account for purposes of the implied tax provision. Management believes that excluding the remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement and deferred taxes from Segment DE and DE, respectively, is meaningful as it increases comparability between periods. Remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement and deferred taxes are estimates that may change due to changes in the interpretation of tax law.
We believe that Segment DE is helpful for an understanding of our business and that investors should review the same supplemental financial measure that management uses to analyze our segment performance. This measure supplements and should be considered in addition to and not in lieu of the results of operations discussed below in “—Overview of Results of Operations” that have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. See note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details regarding management’s consideration of Segment DE.

Table of Contents
Fee Related Earnings and Fee Related EBITDA
Fee Related Earnings, or “FRE”, is derived from our segment reported results and refers to a component of Segment DE that is used as a supplemental performance measure. See note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more details regarding the components of FRE.
Fee related EBITDA is a non-U.S. GAAP measure derived from our segment reported results and is used to assess the performance of our operations as well as our ability to service current and future borrowings. Fee related EBITDA represents FRE plus amounts for depreciation and amortization. “Fee related EBITDA +100% of net realized performance fees” represents Fee related EBITDA plus realized performance fees less realized profit sharing expense.
We use Segment DE, DE, FRE and Fee related EBITDA as measures of operating performance, not as measures of liquidity. These measures should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for net income or other income data prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The use of these measures without consideration of their related U.S. GAAP measures is not adequate due to the adjustments described above.
Operating Metrics
We monitor certain operating metrics that are common to the alternative investment management industry. These operating metrics include Assets Under Management, capital deployed and uncalled commitments.

Deployment, Drawdown Deployment and Uncalled Commitments
During the third quarter of 2020, the Company modified the definition of deployment to include net purchases, certain originations and net syndications to provide a more accurate representation of market activity across all the funds and accounts the Company manages. Prior period deployment figures have been recast to conform to this change in definition. The prior definition of deployment was limited to purchases in our commitment based funds, excluding certain funds in which permanent capital vehicles are the primary investor, and SIAs that have a defined maturity date, and has been renamed “drawdown deployment”.
Uncalled commitments, by contrast, represent unfunded capital commitments that certain of Apollo’s funds and SIAs have received from fund investors to fund future or current fund investments and expenses.
Deployment, drawdown deployment and uncalled commitments are indicative of the pace and magnitude of fund capital that is deployed or will be deployed, and which therefore could result in future revenues that include management fees, transaction fees and performance fees to the extent they are fee-generating. Deployment, drawdown deployment and uncalled commitments can also give rise to future costs that are related to the hiring of additional resources to manage and account for the additional capital that is deployed or will be deployed. Management uses deployment, drawdown deployment and uncalled commitments as key operating metrics since we believe the results are measures of our funds’ investment activities.
Deployment and Drawdown Deployment
The following presents deployment across all funds and drawdown deployment for funds and SIAs with a defined maturity date, by segment (in billions):

APO-20210630_G15.JPG
Note: Totals may not add due to rounding
As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, Apollo had $47.6 billion and $46.8 billion of dry powder, respectively, which represents the amount of capital available for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of the applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage. These amounts exclude uncalled commitments which can only be called for fund fees and expenses and commitments from permanent capital vehicles.
The Historical Investment Performance of Our Funds
Below we present information relating to the historical performance of our funds, including certain legacy Apollo funds that do not have a meaningful amount of unrealized investments, and in respect of which the general partner interest has not been contributed to us.
When considering the data presented below, you should note that the historical results of our funds are not indicative of the future results that you should expect from such funds, from any future funds we may raise or from your investment in our Class A shares.
An investment in our Class A shares is not an investment in any of the Apollo funds, and the assets and revenues of our funds are not directly available to us. The historical and potential future returns of the funds we manage are not directly linked to returns on our Class A shares. Therefore, you should not conclude that continued positive performance of the funds we manage will necessarily result in positive returns on an investment in our Class A shares. However, poor performance of the funds that we manage would cause a decline in our revenue from such funds, and would therefore have a negative effect on our performance and in all likelihood the value of our Class A shares.
Moreover, the historical returns of our funds should not be considered indicative of the future results you should expect from such funds or from any future funds we may raise. There can be no assurance that any Apollo fund will continue to achieve the same results in the future.
Finally, our private equity IRRs have historically varied greatly from fund to fund. For example, Fund VI generated a 12% gross IRR and a 9% net IRR since its inception through June 30, 2021, while Fund V generated a 61% gross IRR and a 44% net IRR since its inception through June 30, 2021. Accordingly, the IRR going forward for any current or future fund may vary considerably from the historical IRR generated by any particular fund, or for our private equity funds as a whole. Future returns will also be affected by the applicable risks, including risks of the industries and businesses in which a particular fund

(1)Committed capital less unfunded capital commitments for Fund IX, Fund VIII and Fund VII were $10.9 billion, $16.1 billion and $14.4 billion, respectively, which represents capital commitments from limited partners to invest in such funds less capital that is available for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of the applicable limited partnership agreement or other governing agreements.
(2)The distressed investment strategy includes distressed for control, non-control distressed and other credit. Other Credit is defined as investments in debt securities of issuers other than portfolio companies that are not considered to be distressed.
During the recovery and expansionary periods of 1994 through 2000 and late 2003 through the first half of 2007, our private equity funds invested or committed to invest approximately $13.7 billion primarily in traditional and corporate partner buyouts. During the recessionary periods of 1990 through 1993, 2001 through late 2003 and the recessionary and post recessionary periods (beginning the second half of 2007 through June 30, 2021), our private equity funds have invested $64.1 billion, of which $21.2 billion was in distressed buyouts and debt investments when the debt securities of quality companies traded at deep discounts to par value. Our average entry multiple for Fund VIII, VII and VI was 5.7x, 6.1x and 7.7x, respectively, as of June 30, 2021. Our average entry multiple for a private equity fund is the average of the total enterprise value over an applicable adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, which may incorporate certain adjustments based on the investment team’s estimates and we believe captures the true economics of our funds’ investments in portfolio companies. The average entry multiple of actively investing funds may include committed investments not yet closed.

Overview of Results of Operations
Revenues
Advisory and Transaction Fees, Net. As a result of providing advisory services with respect to actual and potential credit, private equity, and real assets investments, we are entitled to receive fees for transactions related to the acquisition and, in certain instances, disposition of portfolio companies as well as fees for ongoing monitoring of portfolio company operations and directors’ fees. We also receive advisory fees for advisory services provided to certain credit funds. In addition, monitoring fees are generated on certain structured portfolio company investments. Under the terms of the limited partnership agreements for certain funds, the management fee payable by the funds may be subject to a reduction based on a certain percentage of such advisory and transaction fees, net of applicable broken deal costs (“Management Fee Offset”). Such amounts are presented as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees, net, in the condensed consolidated statements of operations (see note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more detail on advisory and transaction fees, net).
The Management Fee Offsets are calculated for each fund as follows:
65%-100% for certain credit funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees;
65%-100% for private equity funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees; and
65%-100% for certain real assets funds, gross advisory, transaction and other special fees.
Management Fees. The significant growth of the assets we manage has had a positive effect on our revenues. Management fees are typically calculated based upon any of “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted costs of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “invested capital,” “adjusted assets,” “capital contributions,” or “stockholders’ equity,” each as defined in the applicable limited partnership agreement and/or management agreement of the unconsolidated funds.
Performance Fees. The general partners of our funds are entitled to an incentive return of normally up to 20% of the total returns of a fund’s capital, depending upon performance of the underlying funds and subject to preferred returns and high water marks, as applicable. Performance fees, categorized as performance allocations, are accounted for as an equity method investment, and effectively, the performance fees for any period are based upon an assumed liquidation of the funds’ assets at the reporting date, and distribution of the net proceeds in accordance with the funds’ allocation provisions. Performance fees categorized as incentive fees, which are not accounted as an equity method investment, are deferred until fees are probable to not be significantly reversed. Prior to the adoption of the new revenue recognition guidance, incentive fees were recognized on an assumed liquidation basis. The majority of performance fees are comprised of performance allocations.
As of June 30, 2021, approximately 54% of the value of our funds’ investments on a gross basis was determined using market-based valuation methods (i.e., reliance on broker or listed exchange quotes) and the remaining 46% was determined primarily by comparable company and industry multiples or discounted cash flow models. For our credit, private equity and real assets segments, the percentage determined using market-based valuation methods as of June 30, 2021 was 74%, 23% and 19%, respectively. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Businesses—Our funds’ performance, and our performance, may be adversely affected by the financial performance of our funds’ portfolio companies and the industries in which our funds invest” and “—The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and is expected to continue to impact our business, financial condition and results of operations” in the 2020 Annual Report for discussion regarding certain industry-specific risks that could affect the fair value of our private equity funds’ portfolio company investments.
In our private equity funds, the Company does not earn performance fees until the investors in the fund have achieved cumulative investment returns on invested capital (including management fees and expenses) in excess of an 8% hurdle rate. Additionally, certain of our credit and real assets funds have various performance fee rates and hurdle rates. Certain of our credit and real assets funds allocate performance fees to the general partner in a similar manner as the private equity funds. In our private equity, certain credit and real assets funds, so long as the investors achieve their priority returns, there is a catch-up formula whereby the Company earns a priority return for a portion of the return until the Company’s performance fees equate to its incentive fee rate for that fund; thereafter, the Company participates in returns from the fund at the performance fee rate. Performance fees, categorized as performance allocations, are subject to reversal to the extent that the performance fees distributed exceed the amount due to the general partner based on a fund’s cumulative investment returns. The Company recognizes potential repayment of previously received performance fees as a general partner obligation representing all amounts previously distributed to the general partner that would need to be repaid to the Apollo funds if these funds were to be liquidated based on the current fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as of the reporting date. The actual general

(1)As of June 30, 2021, certain private equity funds and certain real asset funds had $65.3 million and $35.4 million, respectively, in general partner obligations to return previously distributed performance fees. The fair value gain on investments and income at the fund level needed to reverse the general partner obligations for certain private equity funds and certain real assets funds was $1.2 billion and $240.0 million, respectively, as of June 30, 2021.
(2)As of June 30, 2021, the remaining investments and escrow cash of Fund VII were valued at 91% of the fund’s unreturned capital, which was below the required escrow ratio of 115%. As a result, Fund VII is required to place in escrow current and future performance fee distributions to the general partner until the specified return ratio of 115% is met (at the time of a future distribution) or upon liquidation. As of June 30, 2021, Fund VII had $128.5 million of gross performance fees, or $73.2 million net of profit sharing, in escrow. With respect to Fund VII, realized performance fees currently distributed to the general partner are limited to potential tax distributions and interest on escrow balances per these funds’ partnership agreements. Performance fees receivable as of June 30, 2021 and realized performance fees for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 include interest earned on escrow balances that is not subject to contingent repayment.
(3)Other includes certain SIAs.
(4)There was a corresponding profit sharing payable of $1.4 billion as of June 30, 2021, including profit sharing payable related to amounts in escrow and contingent consideration obligations of $129.0 million.
(5)Fund VIII includes $148.6 million of realized performance fees received in the form of shares.

Table of Contents
The general partners of certain of our credit funds accrue performance fees, categorized as performance allocations, when the fair value of investments exceeds the cost basis of the individual investors’ investments in the fund, including any allocable share of expenses incurred in connection with such investments, which we refer to as “high water marks.” These high water marks are applied on an individual investor basis. Certain of our credit funds have investors with various high water marks, the achievement of which is subject to market conditions and investment performance.
Performance fees from our private equity funds and certain credit and real assets funds are subject to contingent repayment by the general partner in the event of future losses to the extent that the cumulative performance fees distributed from inception to date exceeds the amount computed as due to the general partner at the final distribution. These general partner obligations, if applicable, are included in due to related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition.
The following table summarizes our performance fees since inception for our combined segments through June 30, 2021:

(3)Amounts were computed based on the fair value of fund investments on June 30, 2021. Performance fees have been allocated to and recognized by the general partner. Based on the amount allocated, a portion is subject to potential reversal or, to the extent applicable, has been reduced by the general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance fees at June 30, 2021. The actual determination and any required payment of any such general partner obligation would not take place until the final disposition of the fund’s investments based on contractual termination of the fund.

(4)Represents the amount of performance fees that would be reversed if remaining fund investments became worthless on June 30, 2021. Amounts subject to potential reversal of performance fees include amounts undistributed by a fund (i.e., the performance fees receivable), as well as a portion of the amounts that have been distributed by a fund, net of taxes and not subject to a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance fees, except for those funds that are gross of taxes as defined in the respective funds’ governing documents.
(5)Other includes certain SIAs.
Expenses
Compensation and Benefits. Our most significant expense is compensation and benefits expense. This consists of fixed salary, discretionary and non-discretionary bonuses, profit sharing expense associated with the performance fees earned from credit, private equity, and real assets funds and compensation expense associated with the vesting of non-cash equity-based awards.
Our compensation arrangements with certain partners and employees contain a significant performance-based incentive component. Therefore, as our net revenues increase, our compensation costs rise. Our compensation costs also reflect the increased investment in people as we expand geographically and create new funds.
In addition, certain professionals and selected other individuals have a profit sharing interest in the performance fees earned in relation to our private equity, certain credit and real assets funds in order to better align their interests with our own and with those of the investors in these funds. Profit sharing expense is part of our compensation and benefits expense and is generally based upon a fixed percentage of credit, private equity and real assets performance fees. Profit sharing expense can reverse during periods when there is a decline in performance fees that were previously recognized. Profit sharing amounts are normally distributed to employees after the corresponding investment gains have been realized and generally before preferred returns are achieved for the investors. Therefore, changes in our unrealized performance fees have the same effect on our profit sharing expense. Profit sharing expense increases when unrealized performance fees increases. Realizations only impact profit sharing expense to the extent that the effects on investments have not been recognized previously. If losses on other investments within a fund are subsequently realized, the profit sharing amounts previously distributed are normally subject to a general partner obligation to return performance fees previously distributed back to the funds. This general partner obligation due to the funds would be realized only when the fund is liquidated, which generally occurs at the end of the fund’s term. However, indemnification obligations also exist for realized gains with respect to Fund IV, Fund V and Fund VI, which, although our Co-Founders and Contributing Partners would remain personally liable, may indemnify our Co-Founders and Contributing Partners for 17.5% to 100% of the previously distributed profits regardless of the fund’s future performance. See note 14 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s indemnification liability.
Each of Joshua Harris and Marc Rowan receives $100,000 per year in base salary for services rendered to us. Additionally, Messrs. Harris and Rowan can receive other forms of compensation. In addition, AHL Awards and other equity-based compensation awards have been granted to the Company and certain employees, which amortize over the respective vesting periods. The Company grants equity awards to certain employees, including RSUs, restricted Class A shares and options, that generally vest and become exercisable in quarterly installments or annual installments depending on the contract terms over a period of three to six years. In some instances, vesting of an RSU is also subject to the Company’s receipt of performance fees, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. See note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussion of equity-based compensation.
Other Expenses. The balance of our other expenses includes interest, placement fees, and general, administrative and other operating expenses. Interest expense consists primarily of interest related to the 2024 Senior Notes, the 2026 Senior Notes, the 2029 Senior Notes, the 2030 Senior Notes, the 2039 Senior Secured Guaranteed Notes, the 2048 Senior Notes and the 2050 Subordinated Notes as discussed in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. Placement fees are incurred in connection with our capital raising activities. In cases where the limited partners of the funds are determined to be the customer in an arrangement, placement fees may be capitalized as a cost to acquire a customer contract, and amortized over the life of the customer contract. General, administrative and other expenses includes occupancy expense, depreciation and amortization, professional fees and costs related to travel, information technology and administration. Occupancy expense represents charges related to office leases and associated expenses, such as utilities and maintenance fees. Depreciation and amortization of fixed assets is normally calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, ranging from two to sixteen years, taking into consideration any residual value. Leasehold improvements are amortized over the shorter of the useful life of the asset or the expected term of the lease. Intangible assets are amortized based on the future cash flows over the expected useful lives of the assets.

Other Income (Loss)
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities. Net gains (losses) from investment activities include both realized gains and losses and the change in unrealized gains and losses in our investment portfolio between the opening reporting date and the closing reporting date. Net unrealized gains (losses) are a result of changes in the fair value of unrealized investments and reversal of unrealized gains (losses) due to dispositions of investments during the reporting period. Significant judgment and estimation goes into the assumptions that drive these models and the actual values realized with respect to investments could be materially different from values obtained based on the use of those models. The valuation methodologies applied impact the reported value of investment company holdings and their underlying portfolios in our condensed consolidated financial statements.
Net Gains (Losses) from Investment Activities of Consolidated Variable Interest Entities. Changes in the fair value of the consolidated VIEs’ assets and liabilities and related interest, dividend and other income and expenses subsequent to consolidation are presented within net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities and are attributable to Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.
Other Income (Losses), Net. Other income (losses), net includes gains (losses) arising from the remeasurement of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities, remeasurement of the tax receivable agreement liability and other miscellaneous non-operating income and expenses.
Income Taxes. Significant judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes and in evaluating income tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. We recognize the income tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation, based on the technical merits of the positions. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. The Company’s income tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether or not we have uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition or de-recognition.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences, using currently enacted tax rates, of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period when the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Non-Controlling Interests
For entities that are consolidated, but not 100% owned, a portion of the income or loss and corresponding equity is allocated to owners other than Apollo. The aggregate of the income or loss and corresponding equity that is not owned by the Company is included in Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Non-Controlling Interests relating to Apollo Global Management, Inc. primarily include the 39.8% and 40.4% ownership interest in the Apollo Operating Group held by the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners through their limited partner interests in Holdings as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Additionally, as of June 30, 2021, Athene holds a 6.7% Non-Controlling Interest in the Apollo Operating Group as a result of the Transaction Agreement. Non-Controlling Interests also include limited partner interests in certain consolidated funds and VIEs.
The authoritative guidance for Non-Controlling Interests in the condensed consolidated financial statements requires reporting entities to present Non-Controlling Interest as equity and provides guidance on the accounting for transactions between an entity and Non-Controlling Interests. According to the guidance, (1) Non-Controlling Interests are presented as a separate component of stockholders’ equity on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, (2) net income (loss) includes the net income (loss) attributable to the Non-Controlling Interest holders on the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations, (3) the primary components of Non-Controlling Interest are separately presented in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of changes in stockholders’ equity to clearly distinguish the interests in the Apollo Operating Group and other ownership interests in the consolidated entities and (4) profits and losses are allocated to Non-Controlling Interests in proportion to their ownership interests regardless of their basis.

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of a novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, which has resulted in uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. While we are unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on our results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures, our compliance with these measures has impacted our day-to-day operations and could disrupt our business and operations, as well as that of the Apollo Funds and their portfolio companies, for an indefinite period of time. See “Item 1A. Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Businesses — The COVID-19 pandemic has caused severe disruptions in the U.S. and global economy and is expected to continue to impact our business, financial condition and results of operations” in the 2020 Annual Report.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2021 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
In this section, references to 2021 refer to the three months ended June 30, 2021 and references to 2020 refer to the three months ended June 30, 2020.
Revenues
Management fees increased by $60.1 million to $470.1 million in 2021 from $410.0 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in management fees earned from Athene of $49.2 million. For additional details regarding changes in management fees in each segment, see “—Segment Analysis” below.
Advisory and transaction fees, net, increased by $24.4 million to $86.4 million in 2021 from $62.0 million in 2020. Advisory and transaction fees earned during 2021 were primarily related to transaction fees earned from a company in the consumer services industry and structuring fees earned from a company in the consumer and retail industry. Advisory and transaction fees earned during 2020 were primarily related to transaction fees earned with respect to certain portfolio companies in the media, telecom and technology industries and structuring fees earned from a company in the consumer and retail industry.
Performance allocations decreased by $189.5 million to $735.1 million in 2021 from $924.6 million in 2020. The decrease in performance allocations was primarily attributable to decreased performance allocations earned from Fund VIII of $472.9 million partially offset by an increase in performance allocations earned from Fund IX, ANRP II and Fund VII of $145.7 million, $78.4 million and $55.6 million, respectively, during 2021.
The decrease in performance allocations from Fund VIII was primarily driven by the fund being in the catchup phase of carry during 2020 whereby the Company earned a larger share of carried interest (80%), whereas for 2021, the Company earned its typical 20% carried interest rate.
The increase in performance allocations from Fund IX was primarily driven by the fund achieving its annualized hurdle rate in 2021 whereas it was below the annualized hurdle rate in 2020.
The increase in performance allocations from ANRP II was primarily driven by appreciation in the value of the fund’s public and private investments in the natural resources sector during 2021. Moreover, the fund achieved its annualized hurdle rate in 2021 whereas it was below the annualized hurdle rate in 2020.
The increase in performance allocations from Fund VII was primarily driven by appreciation in the value of a private investment in the consumer services sector during 2021.
Principal investment income decreased by $35.2 million to $76.4 million in 2021 from $111.6 million in 2020. Principal investment income was higher in 2020 primarily driven by larger increases in the value of investments held by certain Apollo funds and other entities in which the Company has a direct interest, mainly with respect to VA Capital Company, LLC of $34.4 million in 2020.
Incentive fees increased by $14.1 million to $14.3 million in 2021 from $0.2 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to incentive fees earned from an SIA of $13.8 million in 2021.
Expenses
Compensation and benefits increased by $9.1 million to $595.5 million in 2021 from $586.4 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in salary, bonus and benefits of $30.3 million, due to an increase in bonus accruals and headcount. This change was partially offset by a decrease in profit sharing expense of $14.7 million in 2021. In any period, the blended profit sharing percentage is impacted by the respective profit sharing ratios of the funds generating performance allocations in the period.
Included in profit sharing expense is $24.6 million and $5.0 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Incentive Pool. See “—Profit Sharing Expense” in the Critical Accounting Policies section for an overview of the Incentive Pool.
Interest expense increased by $2.5 million to $34.8 million in 2021 from $32.3 million in 2020, primarily due to additional interest expense incurred as a result of the timing of issuances of debt arrangements, as described in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
-105-

Table of Contents
General, administrative and other expenses increased by $32.1 million to $115.8 million in 2021 from $83.7 million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by an increase in legal, consulting, and other professional fees as well as higher recruitment fees related to the increase in headcount.
Other Income (Loss)
Net gains from investment activities increased by $644.7 million to $913.4 million in 2021 from $268.7 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to a gain from the Company’s investment in Athene Holding during 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 due to the combined impact of COVID-19 related market dislocation and a higher discount for lack of marketability (“DLOM”) during 2020. See note 6 and 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investment in Athene Holding.
Net gains from investment activities of consolidated VIEs increased by $87.5 million to $145.4 million in 2021 from $57.9 million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by gains from existing consolidated VIEs during 2021 as compared to losses in our consolidated VIEs in 2020 due to unrealized mark-to-market losses from COVID-19 related market dislocation, as discussed in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Interest income decreased by $3.3 million to $0.6 million in 2021 from $4.0 million in 2020 primarily due to lower interest income earned from money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities.
Income Tax Provision
Income tax provision totaled $(194.1) million and $(140.3) million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income. Significant unrealized mark-to-market gains were recognized during 2021 as compared to 2020 due to the market dislocation impact of COVID-19. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective income tax rate of 11.4% and 12.3% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The most significant reconciling items between our U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rate were due to the following: (i) income passed through to Non-Controlling Interests and (ii) foreign, state and local income taxes, including NYC UBT (see note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the Company’s income tax provision).

Revenues
Management fees increased by $120.7 million to $927.3 million in 2021 from $806.6 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in management fees earned from Athene and Athora of $93.2 million and $19.3 million, respectively. For additional details regarding changes in management fees in each segment, see “—Segment Analysis” below.
Advisory and transaction fees, net, increased by $43.8 million to $142.7 million in 2021 from $98.9 million in 2020. Advisory and transaction fees earned during 2021 were primarily related to transaction fees earned from a company in the consumer services industry and structuring fees earned from a company in the consumer and retail industry. Advisory and transaction fees earned during 2020 were primarily related to net advisory and transaction fees earned with respect to certain portfolio companies in the media, telecom, technology, and financial services industries, net advisory and transaction fees earned related to the structuring of a loan for a portfolio company and structuring fees from a company in the consumer and retail industry.
Performance allocations increased by $2.9 billion to $2.1 billion in 2021 from $(0.8) billion in 2020. The increase in performance allocations was primarily attributable to increased performance allocations earned from Fund VIII, Fund IX, Fund VII and ANRP II of $1.4 billion, $548.4 million, $297.7 million and $158.7 million, respectively, during 2021. In 2020, the pandemic resulting from COVID-19 and the actions taken in response caused severe disruption to the global economy and financial markets and, in line with public equity and credit indices, we experienced significant unrealized mark-to-market losses in our underlying funds.
The increase in performance allocations from Fund VIII was primarily driven by higher appreciation in the value of the fund’s investments in public portfolio companies primarily in the consumer services, media, telecom and technology, and

financial services sectors, as well as appreciation in private portfolio companies primarily in the natural resources and media, telecom and technology sectors during 2021.
The increase in performance allocations from Fund IX was primarily driven by appreciation in the value of the fund’s investments in private portfolio companies in the media, telecom and technology, leisure and financial services sectors during 2021. Moreover, the fund achieved its annualized hurdle rate in 2021 whereas it was below the annualized hurdle rate in 2020.
The increase in performance allocations from Fund VII was primarily driven by appreciation in the value of the fund’s investments in private portfolio companies in the consumer services sector and in public portfolio companies in the consumer and retail and natural resources sectors during 2021.
The increase in performance allocations from ANRP II was primarily driven by appreciation in the value of the fund’s public and private investments in the natural resources sector during 2021. Moreover, the fund achieved its annualized hurdle rate in 2021 whereas it was below the annualized hurdle rate in 2020.
Principal investment income increased by $534.6 million to $458.4 million in 2021 from $(76.2) million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by increases in the value of investments held by certain Apollo funds and other entities in which the Company has a direct interest, mainly with respect to VA Capital Company, LLC, Fund VIII, Fund IX, Redding Ridge Holdings and Fund VII of $210.8 million, $144.0 million, $48.9 million, $23.5 million and $17.9 million, respectively. The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic led to unrealized principal investment losses during 2020.
Expenses
Compensation and benefits increased by $1.3 billion to $1.5 billion in 2021 from $141.8 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in profit sharing expense of $1.3 billion due to a corresponding increase in performance allocations during 2021, as compared to the same period in 2020. In any period, the blended profit sharing percentage is impacted by the respective profit sharing ratios of the funds generating performance allocations in the period. Additionally, there was an increase in salary, bonus and benefits of $65.6 million, primarily attributable to an increase in bonus accruals and headcount.
Included in profit sharing expense is $35.7 million and $42.9 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, related to the Incentive Pool. See “—Profit Sharing Expense” in the Critical Accounting Policies section for an overview of the Incentive Pool.
Interest expense increased by $6.1 million to $69.6 million in 2021 from $63.5 million in 2020, primarily due to additional interest expense incurred as a result of the timing of issuances of debt arrangements, as described in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
General, administrative and other expenses increased by $47.4 million to $215.7 million in 2021 from $168.3 million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by an increase in legal, consulting, and other professional fees as well as higher recruitment expenses during 2021.
Other Income (Loss)
Net gains (losses) from investment activities increased by $2.3 billion to $1.3 billion in 2021 from $(1.0) billion in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to a gain from the Company’s investment in Athene Holding during 2021 as compared to a loss on the Company’s investment in Athene Holding due to the combined impact of COVID-19 related market dislocation and a higher DLOM during 2020. See note 6 and 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s investment in Athene Holding.
Net gains (losses) from investment activities of consolidated VIEs increased by $366.1 million to $258.0 million in 2021 from $(108.1) million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by gains from new and existing consolidated VIEs during 2021 as compared to net losses in our consolidated VIEs in 2020 due to unrealized mark-to-market losses from COVID-19 related market dislocation, as discussed in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. See note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details regarding net gains from investment activities of consolidated VIEs.
Interest income decreased by $10.5 million to $1.4 million in 2021 from $11.9 million in 2020, primarily due to lower interest income earned from money market funds and U.S. Treasury securities in 2021. Throughout 2021, the Company has invested a smaller portion of its cash in U.S. Treasury securities compared to 2020.

Income Tax Provision
The income tax (provision) benefit totaled $(397.3) million and $155.5 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The change was primarily related to the increase in pre-tax income. Significant unrealized mark-to-market book gains were recognized in 2021 as compared to (and in larger part reversing) the unrealized mark-to-market book losses recognized in 2020. The provision for income taxes includes federal, state, local and foreign income taxes resulting in an effective income tax rate of 11.6% and 10.8% for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The most significant reconciling items between our U.S. federal statutory income tax rate and our effective income tax rate were due to the following: (i) income passed through to Non-Controlling Interests; and (ii) foreign, state and local income taxes including NYC UBT (see note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the Company’s income tax provision).
Segment Analysis
Discussed below are our results of operations for each of our reportable segments. They represent the segment information available and utilized by our chief operating decision maker to assess performance and to allocate resources. See note 16 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our segment reporting.
Our financial results vary, since performance fees, which generally constitute a large portion of the income from the funds that we manage, as well as the transaction and advisory fees that we receive, can vary significantly from quarter to quarter and year to year. As a result, we emphasize long-term financial growth and profitability to manage our business.

Management fees increased by $16.3 million to $65.8 million in 2021 from $49.5 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in management fees earned from Apollo Infrastructure Equity Fund II (“AIOF II”), Athene, Apollo U.S. Real Estate Fund III, L.P. (“U.S. RE Fund III”) and Athora of $5.4 million, $4.4 million, $2.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively.
Advisory and transaction fees, net decreased by $1.8 million to $1.4 million in 2021 from $3.2 million in 2020. Advisory and transaction fees in 2020 were primarily attributable to structuring fees earned from a company in the consumer and retail industry.
Salary, bonus and benefits expense increased by $1.0 million to $30.0 million in 2021 from $29.0 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in headcount.
General, administrative and other expenses increased by $2.7 million to $15.5 million in 2021 from $12.8 million in 2020. This change was primarily driven by technology and other miscellaneous expenses in 2021.
Realized profit sharing expense decreased by $1.5 million to $1.4 million in 2021 from $2.9 million in 2020 as a result of the decrease in profit sharing expense related to the Incentive Pool. In any period, the blended profit sharing percentage is impacted by the respective profit sharing ratios of the funds generating performance fees in the period. Included in realized profit sharing expense is $1.8 million related to the Incentive Pool for 2020. There was no profit sharing expense related to the incentive pool for 2021. The Incentive Pool is separate from the fund related profit sharing expense and may result in greater variability in compensation and have a variable impact on the blended profit sharing percentage during a particular period.

In this section, references to 2021 refer to the six months ended June 30, 2021 and references to 2020 refer to the six months ended June 30, 2020.
Management fees increased by $25.8 million to $124.2 million in 2021 from $98.4 million in 2020. This change was primarily attributable to an increase in management fees earned from AIOF II, Athene, U.S. RE Fund III and Athora of $8.6 million, $8.6 million, $4.2 million and $2.0 million, respectively.
Advisory and transaction fees, net decreased by $1.8 million to $2.5 million in 2021 from $4.3 million in 2020. Advisory and transaction fees in 2020 were primarily attributable to structuring fees earned from a company in the consumer and retail industry.
Salary, bonus and benefits expense increased by $5.7 million to $59.2 million in 2021 from $53.5 million in 2020 primarily due to an increase in headcount and bonus accruals.
Realized performance fees decreased by $17.0 million to $24.6 million in 2021 from $41.7 million in 2020. The lower realized performance fees generated in 2021 were primarily attributable to decreases in realized performance fees generated from EPF III and Apollo U.S. Real Estate Fund II, L.P. (“U.S. RE Fund II”) of $11.7 million and $3.6 million, respectively.
The realized performance fees from EPF III in 2021 were primarily a result of realizations from residential mortgage backed securities, commercial real estate and investments in a real estate investment trust. The realized performance fees from EPF III in 2020 were primarily attributable to the sale of investments in logistics assets.
The decrease in realized performance fees from U.S. RE Fund II were primarily attributable to realizations from investments in the leisure sector in 2020 while the fund had no realized performance fees in 2021.
Realized profit sharing expense decreased by $28.1 million to $13.6 million in 2021 from $41.7 million in 2020 as a result of the corresponding decrease in realized performance fees as described above, and a decrease in profit sharing expense related to the Incentive Pool. In any period, the blended profit sharing percentage is impacted by the respective profit sharing ratios of the funds generating performance fees in the period. Included in realized profit sharing expense is $2.0 million and $24.3 million related to the Incentive Pool for 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Incentive Pool is separate from the fund related profit sharing expense and may result in greater variability in compensation and have a variable impact on the blended profit sharing percentage during a particular period.
Net interest loss and other increased by $7.8 million to $17.7 million in 2021 from $9.9 million in 2020 primarily due to additional interest expense incurred as a result of the timing of issuances of debt arrangements, as described in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements as well as a payment related to general partner obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
Apollo’s business model primarily derives revenues and cash flows from the assets it manages. Based on management’s experience, we believe that the Company’s current liquidity position, together with the cash generated from revenues will be sufficient to meet the Company’s anticipated expenses and other working capital needs for at least the next 12 months. Apollo targets operating expense levels such that fee income exceeds total operating expenses each period. The Company requires limited capital resources to support the working capital or operating needs of the business. For Apollo’s longer-term liquidity needs, we expect to continue to fund the Company’s operations through management fees and performance fees received. Liquidity needs are also met (to a limited extent) through proceeds from borrowings and equity issuances as described in notes 10 and 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, respectively. From time to time, if the Company determines that market conditions are favorable after taking into account our liquidity requirements, we may seek to raise proceeds through the issuance of additional debt or equity instruments.
At June 30, 2021, the Company had $1.8 billion of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and $750 million of available funds from the AMH Credit Facility.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been volatility in the financial markets. While the Company is not aware of any events that would result in an immediate impact to our liquidity needs, we continue to monitor developments on the global spread of COVID-19 as additional information is obtained.
Primary Sources and Uses of Cash
Over the next 12 months, we expect the Company’s primary liquidity needs will be to:
pay the Company’s operating expenses, including, compensation, general, administrative, and other expense;
pay interest and principal on the Company’s financing arrangements;
pay cash dividends in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy;
make payments under the tax receivable agreement;
repurchase Class A shares;
pay taxes and tax related payments;
make payments related to the mandatory exchange; and
support the future growth of Apollo’s businesses through strategic corporate investments.
Over the long term, we believe we will be able to grow Apollo’s Assets Under Management and generate positive investment performance in our funds, which we expect will allow us to grow the Company’s management fees and performance fees in amounts sufficient to cover our long-term liquidity requirements, which may include:
supporting the future growth of Apollo’s businesses;
creating new or enhancing existing products and investment platforms;
-116-

Table of Contents
pursuing new strategic corporate investment opportunities;
paying interest and repaying outstanding short-term and long-term borrowings;
repurchasing Class A shares;
making payments under the tax receivable agreement;
making payments related to the mandatory exchange; and
paying dividends (in accordance with the Company’s dividend policy).
Cash Flow Analysis
The section below discusses in more detail the Company’s primary sources and uses of cash and the primary drivers of cash flows within the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
  For the Six Months Ended June 30,
  2021 2020
  (in thousands)
Operating Activities $ 1,093,164  $ 937,374 
Investing Activities 771,836  (774,930)

Net Increase (Decrease) in Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash and Cash Held at Consolidated Variable Interest Entities $ 1,688,819  $ 71,653 
The assets of our consolidated funds and VIEs, on a gross basis, can be substantially larger than the assets of our core business and, accordingly, could have substantial effect on the accompanying statement of cash flows. Because our consolidated funds and VIEs are treated as investment companies for accounting purposes, their investing cash flow amounts are included in our cash flows from operations. The table below summarizes our condensed consolidated statements of cash flow by activity attributable to the Company and to our consolidated funds and VIEs.

The Company’s commitments are primarily fulfilled through cash flows from operations and (to a limited extent) through borrowings and equity issuances as described in notes 10 and 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, respectively.
Consolidated Funds and VIEs
The Company manages its liquidity needs by evaluating unconsolidated cash flows; however, the Company’s financial statements reflect the financial position of Apollo as well as Apollo’s consolidated funds (including SPACs) and VIEs. The primary sources and uses of cash at Apollo’s consolidated funds and VIEs include: (a) raising capital from their investors, which have been reflected historically as Non-Controlling Interests of the consolidated subsidiaries in our financial statements, (b) using capital to make investments, (c) generating cash flows from operations through distributions, interest and the realization of investments, (d) distributing cash flow to investors, (e) issuing debt to finance investments (CLOs) and (f) raising capital through SPAC vehicles for future acquisition of targeted entities.

Other Liquidity and Capital Resource Considerations
Future Cash Flows
Our ability to execute our business strategy, particularly our ability to increase our AUM, depends on our ability to establish new funds and to raise additional investor capital within such funds. Our liquidity will depend on a number of factors, such as our ability to project our financial performance, which is highly dependent on our funds and our ability to manage our projected costs, fund performance, access to credit facilities, compliance with existing credit agreements, as well as industry and market trends. Also during economic downturns the funds we manage might experience cash flow issues or liquidate entirely. In these situations we might be asked to reduce or eliminate the management fee and performance fees we charge, which could adversely impact our cash flow in the future.
An increase in the fair value of our funds’ investments, by contrast, could favorably impact our liquidity through higher management fees where the management fees are calculated based on the net asset value, gross assets or adjusted assets. Additionally, higher performance fees not yet realized would generally result when investments appreciate over their cost basis which would not have an impact on the Company’s cash flow until realized.
Income Taxes
Effective September 5, 2019, Apollo Global Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, converted to a Delaware corporation named Apollo Global Management, Inc. Subsequent to the conversion, generally all of the income it earns is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes.
Consideration of Financing Arrangements
As noted above, in limited circumstances, the Company may issue debt or equity to supplement its liquidity. The decision to enter into a particular financing arrangement is made after careful consideration of various factors including the Company’s cash flows from operations, future cash needs, current sources of liquidity, demand for the Company’s debt or equity, and prevailing interest rates.
Revolver Facility
Under the Company’s AMH Credit Facility, the Company may borrow in an aggregate amount not to exceed $750 million and may incur incremental facilities in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250 million plus additional amounts so long as the Borrower is in compliance with a net leverage ratio not to exceed 4.00 to 1.00. Borrowings under the AMH Credit Facility may be used for working capital and general corporate purposes, including without limitation, permitted acquisitions. The AMH Credit Facility has a final maturity date of November 23, 2025. The AMH Credit Facility refinanced the 2018 AMH Credit Facility at substantially the same terms. The 2018 AMH Credit Facility and all related loan documents were terminated as of November 23, 2020.
Dividends and Distributions
For information regarding the quarterly dividends and distributions to Class A shareholders, Non-Controlling Interest holders in the Apollo Operating Group and participating securities, see note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Although the Company expects to pay dividends according to our dividend policy, we may not pay dividends according to our policy, or at all, if, among other things, we do not have the cash necessary to pay the intended dividends. To the extent we do not have cash on hand sufficient to pay dividends, we may have to borrow funds to pay dividends, or we may determine not to pay dividends. The declaration, payment and determination of the amount of our quarterly dividends are at the sole discretion of the executive committee of our board of directors.
Our current intention is to distribute to our Class A shareholders on a quarterly basis substantially all of our Distributable Earnings after taxes and related payables, in excess of amounts determined by the executive committee of our board of directors to be necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of our business and, at a minimum, a quarterly dividend of $0.40 per share. Following the completion of the Company’s proposed merger with AHL, we intend to distribute an annual dividend of $1.60 per share, with increases based on growth of the business, as determined by the board of directors.
On August 4, 2021, the Company declared a cash dividend of $0.50 per Class A share, which will be paid on August 31, 2021 to holders of record at the close of business on August 19, 2021. Also, the Company declared a cash dividend
-119-

of $0.398438 per share of Series A Preferred share and Series B Preferred share which will be paid on September 15, 2021 to holders of record at the close of business on September 1, 2021.
Tax Receivable Agreement
The tax receivable agreement provides for the payment to the Co-Founders and Contributing Partners of 85% of the amount of cash savings, if any, in U.S. federal, state, local and foreign income taxes that AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries realizes subject to the agreement. For more information regarding the tax receivable agreement, see note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
AOG Unit Payment
Pursuant to the binding governance term sheet the Company entered into with the Co-Founders, all AOG Units beneficially owned by each holder of AOG Units (other than those held by the Company and Athene) will be transferred to NewCo and one or more of its affiliates in a series of transactions in exchange for (i) such number of shares of Class A common stock of NewCo equal to the aggregate number of Outstanding AOG Units and (ii) an aggregate amount in cash equal to the product of (a) number of Outstanding AOG Units multiplied by (b) $3.66, payable over a period of four years in equal quarterly installments; provided, however, that in the event that the Company consummates the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement simultaneously with the mandatory exchange, the AOG Unit Payment will be payable over the period between the date on which the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement are consummated and the third anniversary of the Mandatory Exchange Date in equal quarterly installments. For more information, see “—General”.
Share Repurchases
For information regarding the Company’s share repurchase program, see note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
Athora
On April 14, 2017, Apollo made a commitment of €125 million to purchase new Class B-1 equity interests in Athora, a strategic platform that acquires and reinsures traditional closed life insurance policies and provides capital and reinsurance solutions to insurers in Europe which, as of April 2020 was fully drawn. In January 2018, Apollo purchased Class C-1 equity interests in Athora that represent a profits interest in Athora which, upon meeting certain vesting triggers, will be convertible by Apollo into additional Class B-1 equity interests in Athora.
As part of an ongoing capital raise in connection with Athora’s acquisition of VIVAT N.V., Apollo exercised its preemptive rights and made an additional incremental commitment of approximately €58 million to purchase new Class B-1 equity interests in Athora. In addition, in April 2020, Apollo purchased Class C-2 equity interests in Athora that represent a profits interest in Athora which, upon meeting certain vesting triggers, will be convertible by Apollo into additional Class B-1 equity interests in Athora.
Apollo and Athene are minority investors in Athora with a long term strategic relationship. Through its share ownership, Apollo has approximately 19% of the total voting power in Athora, and Athene holds shares in Athora representing 10% of the total voting power in Athora. In addition, Athora shares held by funds and other accounts managed by Apollo represent, in the aggregate, approximately 16% of the total voting power in Athora.

Fund VIII, Fund VII, Fund VI, ANRP I and ANRP II Escrow
As of June 30, 2021, the remaining investments and escrow cash of Fund VII was valued at 91% of the fund’s unreturned capital, respectively, which was below the required escrow ratio of 115%. As a result, Fund VII is required to place in escrow current and future performance fee distributions to the general partner until the specified return ratio of 115% is met (at the time of a future distribution) or upon liquidation. Realized performance fees currently distributed to the general partner are limited to potential tax distributions and interest on escrow balances per these funds’ partnership agreements.
Clawback
Performance fees from our private equity funds and certain credit and real assets funds are subject to contingent repayment by the general partner in the event of future losses to the extent that the cumulative performance fees distributed

from inception to date exceeds the amount computed as due to the general partner at the final distribution. See “—Overview of Results of Operations—Performance Fees” for the maximum performance fees subject to potential reversal by each fund.
Indemnification Liability
The Company recorded an indemnification liability in the event that the Co-Founders, Contributing Partners and certain investment professionals are required to pay amounts in connection with a general partner obligation to return previously distributed performance fees. See note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Company’s indemnification liability.
Investment Management Agreements - ISG
The Company provides asset management and advisory services to Athene as described in note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.
The base management fee covers a range of investment services that Athene receives from the Company, including investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence and certain operational support services such as investment compliance, tax, legal and risk management support, among others. Additionally, the amended fee agreement provides for a possible payment by the Company to Athene, or a possible payment by Athene to the Company, equal to 0.025% of the Incremental Value as of the end of each year, beginning on December 31, 2019, depending upon the percentage of Athene’s investments that consist of core assets and core plus assets. In furtherance of yield support for Athene, if more than 60% of Athene’s invested assets which are subject to the sub-allocation fees are invested in core and core plus assets, Athene will receive a 0.025% fee reduction on the Incremental Value. As an incentive for differentiated asset management, if less than 50% of Athene’s invested assets which are subject to the sub-allocation fee are invested in core and core plus assets, thereby reflecting a higher allocation toward assets with the highest alpha-generating abilities, Athene will pay an additional fee of 0.025% on Incremental Value.
The amended fee agreement is intended to provide for further alignment of interests between Athene and the Company. On the Backbook Value, assuming constant portfolio allocations, the near-term impact of the amended fee agreement is anticipated to be immaterial. On the Incremental Value, assuming the same allocations as the Backbook Value, total fees paid by Athene to the Company are expected to be marginally lower than fees paid by Athene to the Company would have been under the prior fee arrangement. If invested asset allocations are more heavily weighted to assets with lower alpha-generating abilities than Athene’s current investment portfolio, the fees that Athene pays to the Company under the amended fee agreement would be expected to decline relative to the prior fee arrangement. Conversely, if a greater proportion of Athene’s investment portfolio is allocated to differentiated assets with higher alpha-generating abilities, Athene’s net investment earned rates would be expected to increase, and so would the fees Athene pays to the Company relative to the prior fee arrangement.
Strategic Transaction with Athene Holding
On October 27, 2019 Athene Holding, AGM Inc. and the entities that form the Apollo Operating Group entered into the Transaction Agreement. Pursuant to the Transaction Agreement, Athene Holding issued on February 28, 2020, 35,534,942 AHL Class A Common Shares to certain subsidiaries of the Apollo Operating Group in exchange for (i) issuance by the Apollo Operating Group of 29,154,519 non-voting equity interests of the Apollo Operating Group to Athene Holding and (ii) $350 million in cash. See note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the Transaction Agreement with Athene Holding.
Termination Fee with Athene Holding
See note 14 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the termination fee that could be payable by AGM Inc. upon termination of the Merger Agreement with Athene Holding.
Equity-Based Profit Sharing Expense
Profit sharing amounts are generally not paid until the related performance fees are distributed to the general partner upon realization of the fund’s investments. Under certain profit sharing arrangements, a portion of the performance fees distributed to the general partner is allocated by issuance of equity-based awards, rather than cash, to employees. See note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the accounting for the Company’s profit sharing arrangements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In the normal course of business, we engage in off-balance sheet arrangements, including transactions in derivatives, guarantees, commitments, indemnifications and potential contingent repayment obligations. See note 15 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of guarantees and contingent obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
This Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon the condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires the use of estimates and assumptions that could affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ from these estimates. A summary of our significant accounting policies is presented in note 2 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The following is a summary of our accounting policies that are affected most by judgments, estimates and assumptions.
The COVID-19 pandemic has created disruption and uncertainty in the global economy and financial markets. Although we cannot predict with certainty the full magnitude of the economic ramifications, we have accounted for pandemic-related circumstances when applying judgments and assumptions and updated our estimates accordingly when and as applicable.
Consolidation
The Company assesses all entities with which it is involved for consolidation on a case by case basis depending on the specific facts and circumstances surrounding each entity. Pursuant to the consolidation guidance, the Company first evaluates whether it holds a variable interest in an entity. Apollo factors in all economic interests including proportionate interests through related parties, to determine if such interests are to be considered a variable interest. As Apollo’s interest in many of these entities is solely through market rate fees and/or insignificant indirect interests through related parties, Apollo is generally not considered to have a variable interest in many of these entities under the guidance and no further consolidation analysis is performed. For entities where the Company has determined that it does hold a variable interest, the Company performs an assessment to determine whether each of those entities qualify as a VIE.
The determination as to whether an entity qualifies as a VIE depends on the facts and circumstances surrounding each entity and therefore certain of Apollo’s funds may qualify as VIEs under the variable interest model whereas others may qualify as voting interest entities (“VOEs”) under the voting interest model. The granting of substantive kick-out rights is a key consideration in determining whether a limited partnership or similar entity is a VIE and whether or not that entity should be consolidated.
Under the voting interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities it controls through a majority voting interest. Apollo does not consolidate those VOEs in which substantive kick-out rights have been granted to the unaffiliated investors to either dissolve the fund or remove the general partner.
 Under the variable interest model, Apollo consolidates those entities where it is determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the entity.
The assessment of whether an entity is a VIE and the determination of whether Apollo should consolidate such VIE requires judgment by our management. Those judgments include, but are not limited to: (i) determining whether the total equity investment at risk is sufficient to permit the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, (ii) evaluating whether the holders of equity investment at risk, as a group, can make decisions that have a significant effect on the success of the entity, (iii) determining whether the equity investors have proportionate voting rights to their obligations to absorb losses or rights to receive the expected residual returns from an entity and (iv) evaluating the nature of the relationship and activities of those related parties with shared power or under common control for purposes of determining which party within the related-party group is most closely associated with the VIE. Judgments are also made in determining whether a member in the equity group has a controlling financial interest including power to direct activities that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and rights to receive benefits or obligations to absorb losses that could be potentially significant to the VIE. This analysis considers all relevant economic interests including proportionate interests held through related parties.

Revenue Recognition
Performance Fees. We earn performance fees from our funds as a result of such funds achieving specified performance criteria. Such performance fees generally are earned based upon a fixed percentage of realized and unrealized gains of various funds after meeting any applicable hurdle rate or threshold minimum.
Performance allocations are performance fees that are generally structured from a legal standpoint as an allocation of capital to the Company. Performance allocations from certain of the funds that we manage are subject to contingent repayment and are generally paid to us as particular investments made by the funds are realized. If, however, upon liquidation of a fund, the aggregate amount paid to us as performance fees exceeds the amount actually due to us based upon the aggregate performance of the fund, the excess (in certain cases net of taxes) is required to be returned by us to that fund. We account for performance allocations as an equity method investment, and accordingly, we accrue performance allocations quarterly based on fair value of the underlying investments and separately assess if contingent repayment is necessary. The determination of performance allocations and contingent repayment considers both the terms of the respective partnership agreements and the current fair value of the underlying investments within the funds. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used. See “Investments, at Fair Value” below for further discussion related to significant estimates and assumptions used for determining fair value of the underlying investments in our credit, private equity and real assets funds.
Incentive fees are performance fees structured as a contractual fee arrangement rather than a capital allocation. Incentive fees are generally received from the management of CLOs, managed accounts and AINV. For a majority of our incentive fees, once the quarterly or annual incentive fees have been determined, there is no look-back to prior periods for a potential contingent repayment, however, certain other incentive fees can be subject to contingent repayment at the end of the life of the entity. In accordance with the revenue recognition standard, certain incentive fees are considered a form of variable consideration and therefore are deferred until fees are probable to not be significantly reversed. There is significant judgment involved in determining if the incentive fees are probable to not be significantly reversed, but generally the Company will defer the revenue until the fees are crystallized or are no longer subject to clawback or reversal.
Management Fees. Management fees related to our credit funds, can be based on net asset value, gross assets, adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments, capital commitments, adjusted assets, capital contributions, or stockholders’ equity all as defined in the respective partnership agreements. The credit management fee calculations that consider net asset value, gross assets, adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments and adjusted assets are normally based on the terms of the respective partnership agreements and the current fair value of the underlying investments within the funds. Estimates and assumptions are made when determining the fair value of the underlying investments within the funds and could vary depending on the valuation methodology that is used. The management fees related to our private equity funds, by contrast, are generally based on a fixed percentage of the committed capital or invested capital. The corresponding fee calculations that consider committed capital or invested capital are both objective in nature and therefore do not require the use of significant estimates or assumptions. The management fees related to our real assets funds are generally based on a specific percentage of the funds’ stockholders’ equity or committed or net invested capital or the capital accounts of the limited partners. See “Investments, at Fair Value” below for further discussion related to significant estimates and assumptions used for determining fair value of the underlying investments in our credit, private equity and real assets funds.
Investments, at Fair Value
On a quarterly basis, Apollo utilizes valuation committees consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the funds it manages. For certain publicly traded vehicles managed by Apollo, a review is performed by an independent board of directors. The Company also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. The limited procedures provided by the external valuation firms assist management with validating their valuation results or determining fair value. The Company performs various back-testing procedures to validate their valuation approaches, including comparisons between expected and observed outcomes, forecast evaluations and variance analyses. However, because of the inherent uncertainty of valuation, the estimated values may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market for the investments existed, and the differences could be material.
The fair values of the investments in our funds can be impacted by changes to the assumptions used in the underlying valuation models. For further discussion on the impact of changes to valuation assumptions see “Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk—Sensitivity” in the 2020 Annual Report. There have been no material changes to the valuation approaches utilized during the periods that our financial results are presented in this report.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Except for the Company’s debt obligations (each as defined in note 10 to our condensed consolidated financial statements), Apollo’s financial instruments are recorded at fair value or at amounts whose carrying values approximate fair value. See “—Investments, at Fair Value” above. While Apollo’s valuations of portfolio investments are based on assumptions that Apollo believes are reasonable under the circumstances, the actual realized gains or losses will depend on, among other factors, future operating results, the value of the assets and market conditions at the time of disposition, any related transaction costs and the timing and manner of sale, all of which may ultimately differ significantly from the assumptions on which the valuations were based. Financial instruments’ carrying values generally approximate fair value because of the short-term nature of those instruments or variable interest rates related to the borrowings.
Profit Sharing Expense. Profit sharing expense is primarily a result of agreements with our Contributing Partners and employees to compensate them based on the ownership interest they have in the general partners of the Apollo funds. Therefore, changes in the fair value of the underlying investments in the funds we manage and advise affect profit sharing expense. The Contributing Partners and employees are allocated approximately 30% to 56%, of the total performance fees which is driven primarily by changes in fair value of the underlying fund’s investments and is treated as compensation expense. Additionally, profit sharing expenses paid may be subject to clawback from employees, former employees and Contributing Partners to the extent not indemnified. When applicable, the accrual for potential clawback of previously distributed profit sharing amounts, which is a component of due from related parties on the condensed consolidated statements of financial condition, represents all amounts previously distributed to employees, former employees and Contributing Partners that would need to be returned to the general partner if the Apollo funds were to be liquidated based on the current fair value of the underlying funds’ investments as of the reporting date. The actual general partner receivable, however, would not become realized until the end of a fund’s life.
Several of the Company’s employee remuneration programs are dependent upon performance fee realizations, including the Incentive Pool, and dedicated performance fee rights and certain RSU awards for which vesting is contingent, in part, on the realization of performance fees in a specified period. The Company established these programs to attract and retain, and provide incentive to, partners and employees of the Company and to more closely align the overall compensation of partners and employees with the overall realized performance of the Company. Dedicated performance fee rights entitle their holders to payments arising from performance fee realizations. The Incentive Pool enables certain partners and employees to earn discretionary compensation based on realized performance fees in a given year, which amounts are reflected in profit sharing expense in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.  Amounts earned by participants as a result of their performance fee rights (whether dedicated or Incentive Pool) will vary year-to-year depending on the overall realized performance of the Company (and, in the case of the Incentive Pool, on their individual performance). There is no assurance that the Company will continue to compensate individuals through the same types of arrangements in the future and there may be periods when the Company determines that allocations of realized performance fees are not sufficient to compensate individuals, which may result in an increase in salary, bonus and benefits, the modification of existing programs or the use of new remuneration programs.  Reductions in performance fee revenues could also make it harder to retain employees and cause employees to seek other employment opportunities.
Fair Value Option. Apollo has elected the fair value option for the Company’s investment in Athene Holding, the assets and liabilities of certain of its consolidated VIEs (including CLOs), the Company’s U.S. Treasury securities with original maturities greater than three months when purchased and certain of the Company’s other investments. Such election is irrevocable and is applied to financial instruments on an individual basis at initial recognition. See notes 3, 5, and 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further disclosure.
Equity-Based Compensation. Equity-based compensation is accounted for in accordance with U.S. GAAP, which requires that the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award is generally measured based on the grant date fair value of the award. Equity-based awards that do not require future service (i.e., vested awards) are expensed immediately. Equity-based employee awards that require future service are recognized over the relevant service period. In addition, certain RSUs granted by the Company vest subject to continued employment and the Company’s receipt of performance fees, within prescribed periods, sufficient to cover the associated equity-based compensation expense. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, equity-based compensation expense for such awards, if and when granted, will be recognized on an accelerated recognition method over the requisite service period to the extent the performance fee metrics are met or deemed probable. The addition of these performance measures helps to promote the interests of our Class A shareholders and fund investors by making RSU vesting contingent on the realization and distribution of profits on our funds. Forfeitures of equity-based awards are accounted for when they occur. Apollo’s equity-based awards consist of, or provide rights with respect to, AOG Units, RSUs, share options, restricted shares, AHL Awards and other equity-based compensation awards. For more information regarding Apollo’s
-124-

Table of Contents
equity-based compensation awards, see note 12 to our condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company’s assumptions made to determine the fair value on grant date are embodied in the calculations of compensation expense.
A significant part of our compensation expense is derived from amortization of RSUs. The fair value of all RSU grants after March 29, 2011 is based on the grant date fair value, which considers the public share price of the Company. The Company has three types of RSU grants, which we refer to as Plan Grants, Bonus Grants, and Performance Grants. Plan Grants may or may not provide the right to receive dividend equivalents until the RSUs vest and, for grants made after 2011, the underlying shares are generally issued by March 15th after the year in which they vest. For Plan Grants, the grant date fair value is based on the public share price of the Company, and is discounted for transfer restrictions and lack of dividends until vested if applicable. Bonus Grants provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on both vested and unvested RSUs and Performance Grants provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on vested RSUs and may also provide the right to receive dividend equivalents on unvested RSUs. Both Bonus Grants and Performance Grants are generally issued by March 15th of the year following the year in which they vest. For Bonus Grants and Performance Grants, the grant date fair value for the periods presented is based on the public share price of the Company, and is discounted for transfer restrictions.
We utilized the present value of a growing annuity formula to calculate a discount for the lack of pre-vesting dividends on certain Plan Grant and Performance Grant RSUs.
We utilize the Finnerty Model to calculate a marketability discount on the Plan Grant, Bonus Grant and Performance Grant RSUs to account for the lag between vesting and issuance. The Finnerty Model provides for a valuation discount reflecting the holding period restriction embedded in a restricted security preventing its sale over a certain period of time.
The Finnerty Model proposes to estimate a discount for lack of marketability such as transfer restrictions by using an option pricing theory. This model has gained recognition through its ability to address the magnitude of the discount by considering the volatility of a company’s stock price and the length of restriction. The concept underpinning the Finnerty Model is that a restricted security cannot be sold over a certain period of time. Further simplified, a restricted share of equity in a company can be viewed as having forfeited a put on the average price of the marketable equity over the restriction period (also known as an “Asian Put Option”). If we price an Asian Put Option and compare this value to that of the assumed fully marketable underlying security, we can effectively estimate the marketability discount. The inputs utilized in the Finnerty Model are (i) length of holding period, (ii) volatility and (iii) dividend yield.
Income Taxes
Effective September 5, 2019, Apollo Global Management, LLC converted from a Delaware limited liability company to a Delaware corporation named Apollo Global Management, Inc. Subsequent to the conversion, generally all of the income it earns from the Apollo Operating Group (“AOG”) entities is subject to U.S. corporate income taxes. Certain of the AOG entities operate as partnerships for U.S. income tax purposes and are subject to New York City unincorporated business taxes (“NYC UBT”). Certain non-U.S. entities are also subject to non-U.S. corporate income taxes.
Significant judgment is required in determining tax expense and in evaluating tax positions, including evaluating uncertainties. The Company recognizes the tax benefit of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The tax benefit is measured as the largest amount of benefit that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. If a tax position is not considered more likely than not to be sustained, then no benefits of the position are recognized. The Company’s tax positions are reviewed and evaluated quarterly to determine whether the Company has uncertain tax positions that require financial statement recognition.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis using currently enacted tax rates. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period during which the change is enacted. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Fair Value Measurements
See note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements for a discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements.
As discussed in Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements, Apollo utilizes valuation committees consisting of members from senior management, to review and approve the valuation results related to the investments of the

funds it manages. For certain publicly traded vehicles managed by the Company, a review is performed by an independent board of directors. The Company also retains external valuation firms to provide third-party valuation consulting services to Apollo, which consist of certain limited procedures that management identifies and requests them to perform. Please refer to Note 6 of this report for more details on valuation techniques employed by Apollo to determine fair value of its investments in credit, private equity and real assets investments.
    Credit Investments
The majority of investments in Apollo’s credit funds are valued based on quoted market prices. Quoted market prices are considered to be indicative of fair value, incorporating all the risks and uncertainties associated with the underlying instrument in the prevailing market environment. Apollo’s valuation team further analyzes how prices have moved over the measurement period within each asset class and sector and compared it with the relevant benchmark indices.
Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available are valued at fair value utilizing a model-based approach to determine fair value. Apollo’s privately valued credit portfolio is concentrated in bank loans to middle-market companies, loans backed by commercial real estate, aviation and other asset backed loans, and life settlements. Valuation approaches used to estimate the fair value of illiquid credit investments may also include the market approach and the income approach. Most private debt instruments are valued utilizing discounted cash flow models where the key valuation drivers are market yield/credit spread, timing of cash flows and recovery of principal amount. Some of the considerations incorporated in determining the key valuation inputs in our model-based valuation approaches include but are not limited to:
relative liquidity and change in liquidity profile of an asset class compared to underlying assets in an observable benchmark;
specific contractual terms such as LIBOR floor, covenants or extension features;
portfolio company specific business strength or weakness as it relates to COVID-19;
portfolio company’s liquidity profile;
expected maturity of debt instruments, which could be different than the contractual maturity;
requested or granted amendments or deferrals; and
expected recovery and timing of recovery for distressed debt instruments.
    Private Equity Investments
Over two thirds of Apollo’s private equity investments are valued using a market approach or an observable market price making overall portfolio returns in-line with relevant benchmark indices. Some of the additional considerations incorporated in valuation approaches include but are not limited to:
relative liquidity and change in liquidity profile of the portfolio company; and
portfolio company-specific business strength or weakness as it relates to COVID-19.
    Real Assets Investments
The estimated fair value of commercial mortgage-backed securities (“CMBS”) in Apollo’s real assets funds is determined by reference to market prices provided by certain dealers who make a market in these financial instruments. Debt and equity securities that are not publicly traded or whose market prices are not readily available, such as private commercial real estate debt and equity investments in entities that own real estate, are valued at fair value utilizing a model-based approach to determine fair value. Some of the considerations incorporated in our model-based valuation approaches include but are not limited to:
property type specific considerations of potential disruption from COVID-19;
individual property specific considerations: region and sub-market, tenant profile and liquidity profile;
requested or granted amendments or deferrals;
expected maturity of debt instruments; and

(4)Payments based on anticipated repayment date of July 2029.    

Note:    Due to the fact that the timing of certain amounts to be paid cannot be determined or for other reasons discussed below, the following contractual commitments have not been presented in the table above.
(i)As noted previously, we have entered into a tax receivable agreement with our Co-Founders and Contributing Partners which requires us to pay to our Co-Founders and Contributing Partners 85% of any tax savings received by AGM Inc. and its subsidiaries from our step-up in tax basis. The tax savings achieved may not ensure that we have sufficient cash available to pay this liability and we might be required to incur additional debt to satisfy this liability.
(ii)Debt amounts related to the consolidated VIEs are not presented in the table above as the Company is not a guarantor of these non-recourse liabilities.
(iii)In connection with the Stone Tower acquisition, the Company agreed to pay the former owners of Stone Tower a specified percentage of any future performance fees earned from certain of the Stone Tower funds, CLOs and strategic investment accounts. This contingent consideration liability is remeasured to fair value at each reporting period until the obligations are satisfied. See note 15 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information regarding the contingent consideration liability.
(iv)Commitments from certain of our subsidiaries to contribute to the funds we manage and certain related parties.

Contingent Obligation—Performance fees with respect to certain credit and private equity funds and real assets funds is subject to reversal in the event of future losses to the extent of the cumulative performance fees recognized in income to date. See note 15 of our condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our contingent obligation.
One of the Company’s subsidiaries, AGS, provides underwriting commitments in connection with securities offerings of related parties of Apollo, including portfolio companies of the funds Apollo manages, as well as third parties. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no open underwriting commitments.
ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Our predominant exposure to market risk is related to our role as investment manager and general partner for our funds and the sensitivity to movements in the fair value of their investments and resulting impact on performance fees and management fee revenues. Our direct investments in the funds also expose us to market risk whereby movements in the fair values of the underlying investments will increase or decrease both net gains (losses) from investment activities and income (loss) from equity method investments. For a discussion of the impact of market risk factors on our financial instruments see “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies—Investments, at Fair Value.”
The fair value of our financial assets and liabilities of our funds may fluctuate in response to changes in the value of investments, foreign exchange, commodities and interest rates. The net effect of these fair value changes impacts the gains and losses from investments in our condensed consolidated statements of operations. However, the majority of these fair value changes are absorbed by the Non-Controlling Interests.
The Company is subject to a concentration risk related to the investors in its funds. Although there are more than 1,000 investors in Apollo’s active credit, private equity and real assets funds, no individual investor accounts for more than 10% of the total committed capital to Apollo’s active funds.
Risks are analyzed across funds from the “bottom up” and from the “top down” with a particular focus on asymmetric risk. We gather and analyze data, monitor investments and markets in detail, and constantly strive to better quantify, qualify and circumscribe relevant risks.
Each risk management process is subject to our overall risk tolerance and philosophy and our enterprise-wide risk management framework. This framework includes identifying, measuring and managing market, credit and operational risks at each segment, as well as at the fund and Company level.
Each segment runs its own investment and risk management process subject to our overall risk tolerance and philosophy:
Our credit and real assets funds continuously monitor a variety of markets for attractive trading opportunities, applying a number of traditional and customized risk management metrics to analyze risk related to specific assets or portfolios, as well as, fund-wide risks.
The investment process of our private equity funds involves a detailed analysis of potential acquisitions, and investment management teams assigned to monitor the strategic development, financing and capital deployment decisions of each portfolio investment.
The Company has established a Global Risk Committee comprised of various members of senior management including the Company’s Co-Presidents, Co-Chief Operating Officers, General Counsel, Global Head of Human Capital, Chief Risk Officer, Head of Enterprise Risk Management and Head of Internal Audit. The risk committee is tasked with assisting the Company in monitoring and managing enterprise-wide risk. The risk committee generally meets on a quarterly basis and reports to senior management of the Company at such times as the committee deems appropriate and at least on an annual basis.
On at least a monthly basis, the Company’s risk department provides a summary analysis of fund level market and credit risk to the portfolio managers of the Company’s funds and the heads of the various business segments. On a periodic basis, the Company’s risk department provides analyses of select market and credit risk components to various members of senior management. In addition, the Company’s Chief Risk Officer reviews specific investments from the perspective of risk mitigation and discusses such analysis with the Company’s risk committee and/or the executive committee of the Company’s Board at such times as the Company’s Chief Risk Officer determines such discussions are warranted.
Impact on Management Fees—Our management fees are based on one of the following:
capital commitments to an Apollo fund;
-129-

Table of Contents
capital invested in an Apollo fund;
the gross, net or adjusted asset value of an Apollo fund, as defined; or
as otherwise defined in the respective agreements.
Management fees could be impacted by changes in market risk factors and management could consider an investment permanently impaired as a result of (i) such market risk factors causing changes in invested capital or in market values to below cost, in the case of certain credit funds and our private equity funds or (ii) such market risk factors causing changes in gross or net asset value, for the credit funds. The proportion of our management fees that are based on NAV is dependent on the number and types of our funds in existence and the current stage of each fund’s life cycle.
Impact on Advisory and Transaction Fees—We earn transaction fees relating to the negotiation of credit, private equity and real assets transactions and may obtain reimbursement for certain out-of-pocket expenses incurred. Subsequently, on a quarterly or annual basis, ongoing advisory fees, and additional transaction fees in connection with additional purchases, dispositions, or follow-on transactions, may be earned. Management Fee Offsets and any broken deal costs, if applicable, are reflected as a reduction to advisory and transaction fees. Advisory and transaction fees will be impacted by changes in market risk factors to the extent that they limit our opportunities to engage in credit, private equity and real assets transactions or impair our ability to consummate such transactions. The impact of changes in market risk factors on advisory and transaction fees is not readily predicted or estimated.
Impact on Performance Fees—We earn performance fees from our funds as a result of such funds achieving specified performance criteria. Our performance fees will be impacted by changes in market risk factors. However, several major factors will influence the degree of impact:
the performance criteria for each individual fund in relation to how that fund’s results of operations are impacted by changes in market risk factors;
whether such performance criteria are annual or over the life of the fund;
to the extent applicable, the previous performance of each fund in relation to its performance criteria; and
whether each funds’ performance fee distributions are subject to contingent repayment.
As a result, the impact of changes in market risk factors on performance fees will vary widely from fund to fund. The impact is heavily dependent on the prior and future performance of each fund, and therefore is not readily predicted or estimated.
Market Risk—We are directly and indirectly affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk generally represents the risk that values of assets and liabilities or revenues and expenses will be adversely affected by changes in market conditions. Market risk is inherent in each of our investments and activities, including equity investments, loans, short-term borrowings, long-term debt, hedging instruments, credit default swaps and derivatives. Just a few of the market conditions that may shift from time to time, thereby exposing us to market risk, include fluctuations in interest and currency exchange rates, equity prices, changes in the implied volatility of interest rates and price deterioration. Volatility in debt and equity markets can impact our pace of capital deployment, the timing of receipt of transaction fee revenues and the timing of realizations. These market conditions could have an impact on the value of fund investments and rates of return. Accordingly, depending on the instruments or activities impacted, market risks can have wide ranging, complex adverse effects on our results from operations and our overall financial condition. We monitor market risk using certain strategies and methodologies which management evaluates periodically for appropriateness. We intend to continue to monitor this risk going forward and continue to monitor our exposure to all market factors.
Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate risk represents exposure we and our funds have to instruments whose values vary with the change in interest rates. These instruments include, but are not limited to, loans, borrowings, investments in interest bearing securities and derivative instruments. We may seek to mitigate risks associated with the exposures by having our funds take offsetting positions in derivative contracts. Hedging instruments allow us to seek to mitigate risks by reducing the effect of movements in the level of interest rates, changes in the shape of the yield curve, as well as, changes in interest rate volatility. Hedging instruments used to mitigate these risks may include related derivatives such as options, futures and swaps.
Credit Risk—Certain of our funds are subject to certain inherent risks through their investments.
Certain of our entities invest substantially all of their excess cash in open-end money market funds and money market demand accounts, which are included in cash and cash equivalents. The money market funds invest primarily in
-130-

Table of Contents
government securities and other short-term, highly liquid instruments with a low risk of loss. We continually monitor the funds’ performance in order to manage any risk associated with these investments.
Certain of our funds hold derivative instruments that contain an element of risk in the event that the counterparties may be unable to meet the terms of such agreements. We seek to minimize our risk exposure by limiting the counterparties with which our funds enter into contracts to banks and investment banks who meet established credit and capital guidelines. As of June 30, 2021, we do not expect any counterparty to default on its obligations and therefore do not expect to incur any loss due to counterparty default.
Certain of our funds’ investments include lower-rated and comparable quality unrated distressed investments and other instruments. Investments in such debt instruments are accompanied by a greater degree of risk of loss due to default by the issuer because such debt instruments are generally unsecured and subordinated to other creditors of the issuer. These issuers generally have high levels of indebtedness and can be more sensitive to adverse market conditions, such as a recession or increasing interest rates, as compared to higher rated issuers. We seek to minimize risk exposure by subjecting each prospective investment to rigorous credit analysis and by making investment decisions based upon objectives that include capital preservation and appreciation, and industry and issuer diversification.
Foreign Exchange Risk—Foreign exchange risk represents exposures our funds have to changes in the values of current fund holdings and future cash flows denominated in other currencies and investments in non-U.S. companies. The types of investments exposed to this risk include investments in foreign subsidiaries, foreign currency-denominated loans, foreign currency-denominated transactions, and various foreign exchange derivative instruments whose values fluctuate with changes in currency exchange rates or foreign interest rates. Instruments used to mitigate this risk are foreign exchange options, currency swaps, futures and forwards. These instruments may be used to help insulate our funds against losses that may arise due to volatile movements in foreign exchange rates and/or interest rates.
In our capacity as investment manager of the funds we manage, we continuously monitor a variety of markets for attractive opportunities for managing risk. For example, certain of the funds we manage may put in place foreign exchange hedges or borrowings with respect to certain foreign currency denominated investments to provide a hedge against foreign exchange exposure.
Non-U.S. Operations—We conduct business throughout the world and are continuing to expand into foreign markets. We currently have offices outside the U.S. in London, Frankfurt, Madrid, Luxembourg, Mumbai, Delhi, Singapore, Hong Kong, Shanghai and Tokyo, among other locations throughout the world, and have been strategically growing our international presence. Our fund investments and our revenues are primarily derived from our U.S. operations. With respect to our non-U.S. operations, we are subject to risk of loss from currency fluctuations, social instability, changes in governmental policies or policies of central banks, expropriation, nationalization, unfavorable political and diplomatic developments and changes in legislation relating to non-U.S. ownership. Our funds also invest in the securities of companies which are located in non-U.S. jurisdictions. As we continue to expand globally, we will continue to focus on monitoring and managing these risk factors as they relate to specific non-U.S. investments.
ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures”, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired objectives.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15 under the Exchange Act as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of the end of the period covered by this report, our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) are effective at the reasonable assurance level to accomplish their objectives of ensuring that information we are required to disclose in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our

management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
No changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a–15(f) and 15d–15(f) under the Exchange Act) occurred during our most recent quarter, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. We have not experienced any material impact to our internal control over financial reporting despite the fact that most of our employees are working remotely due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We are continually monitoring and assessing the COVID-19 situation on our internal controls to minimize the impact on their design and operating effectiveness.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS     
For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading "Risk Factors" in our 2020 Annual Report and our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which are accessible on the Securities and Exchange Commission's website at www.sec.gov. There have been no material changes to the risk factors for the three months ended June 30, 2020.
The risks described in our 2020 Annual Report and our Quarterly Report for the quarter ended March 31, 2021 are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.
ITEM 2.    UNREGISTERED SALE OF EQUITY SECURITIES
On May 7, 2021, May 10, 2021, May 17, 2021, May 18, 2021, and June 2, 2021, we issued 332,010, 1,614, 3,260, 56,243, and 4,655 shares of Class A shares, respectively, net of taxes to Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., a subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, Inc., in connection with issuances of stock to participants in the Equity Plan for an aggregate purchase price of $18.8 million, $0.1 million, $0.2 million, $3.2 million, and $0.3 million respectively. The issuance was exempt from registration under the Securities Act in accordance with Section 4(a)(2) and Rule 506(b) thereof, as transactions by the issuer not involving a public offering. We determined that the purchaser of Class A shares in the transactions, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., was an accredited investor.
Issuer Purchases of Equity Securities
The following table sets forth purchases of our Class A shares made by us or on our behalf during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2021. From April 1, 2021 through June 30, 2021, the Company paid approximately $15.6 million in cash to satisfy tax withholding and cash settlement obligations in lieu of issuing Class A shares upon the vesting of equity awards representing 274,888 Class A shares.

(1)    Certain Apollo employees receive a portion of the profit sharing proceeds of certain funds in the form of (a) restricted Class A shares that they are required to purchase with such proceeds or (b) RSUs, in each case which equity-based awards generally vest over three years. These equity-based awards are granted under the Company's Equity Plan. To prevent dilution on account of these awards, Apollo may, in its discretion, repurchase Class A shares on the open market and retire them. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we repurchased 326,605 Class A shares at an average price paid per share of $51.93 in open-market transactions not pursuant to a publicly-announced repurchase plan or program on account of these awards. See note 13 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information on Class A shares.
(2)    Pursuant to a share repurchase program that was publicly announced on March 12, 2020, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 million in the aggregate of its Class A shares, including through the repurchase of outstanding Class A shares and through a reduction of Class A shares to be issued to employees to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted under the 2019 Equity Plan (or any successor equity plan thereto). This authorization increased the Company’s capacity to repurchase shares from $80 million of unused capacity under the Company’s previously approved share repurchase plan. Class A shares may be repurchased from time to time in open market transactions, in privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to a trading plan adopted in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Exchange Act, or otherwise, with the size and timing of these repurchases depending on legal requirements, price, market and economic conditions and other factors. The Company is not obligated under the terms of the program to repurchase any of its Class A shares. The repurchase program has no expiration date and may be suspended or
-133-

terminated by the Company at any time without prior notice. Class A shares repurchased as part of this program are canceled by the Company.
(3)     Amounts have been adjusted to account for reductions of Class A shares to satisfy associated tax obligations in connection with the settlement of equity-based awards granted to employees under the Equity Plan.

(iii)    any event that results in the General Partner ceasing to be a general partner of the Partnership under the Partnership Law, provided, that the Partnership shall not be dissolved and required to be wound up in connection with any such event if (A) at the time of the occurrence of such event there is at least one remaining general partner of the Partnership who is hereby authorized to and does carry on the business of the Partnership, or (B) within 90 days after the occurrence of such event, a majority of the Limited Partners agree in writing or vote to continue the business of the Partnership and to the
    9


appointment, effective as of the date of such event, if required, of one or more additional general partners of the Partnership; and
(iv)    the entry of a decree of judicial dissolution.
(b)    The parties agree that irreparable damage would be done to the goodwill and reputation of the Partners if any Limited Partner should bring an action to dissolve the Partnership. Care has been taken in this Agreement to provide for fair and just payment in liquidation of the interests of all Partners. Accordingly, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Limited Partner hereby waives and renounces his right to such an order or to seek the appointment of a liquidator for the Partnership, except as provided herein.
Section 2.5    Purpose of the Partnership
The principal purpose of the Partnership is to act as the sole general partner or special limited partner (as the case may be) of each of the Funds and certain Voting Affiliated Feeder Funds pursuant to their respective Fund LP Agreements or governing documents and to undertake such related and incidental activities and execute and deliver such related documents necessary or incidental thereto. The purpose of the Partnership shall be limited to serving as a general partner or special limited partner of direct investment funds, including any of their Affiliates, and the provision of investment management and advisory services.
Section 2.6    Actions by Partnership
The Partnership may execute, deliver and perform, and the General Partner may execute and deliver, all contracts, agreements and other undertakings, and engage in all activities and transactions as may in the opinion of the General Partner be necessary or advisable to carry out the objects and purposes of the Partnership, without the approval or vote of any Limited Partner.
Section 2.7    Admission of Limited Partners
On the date hereof, the Persons whose names are set forth in the Schedule of Partners under the caption “Limited Partners” shall be admitted to the Partnership or shall continue, as the case may be, as limited partners of the Partnership upon their execution of a counterpart of this Agreement or such other instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner. Additional Limited Partners may be admitted to the Partnership in accordance with Section 6.1. Admission as a Limited Partner (including as an Additional Limited Partner) will not change a Person’s employment status with any Affiliate of the Partnership or make any such Person an employee of the Partnership.
Section 2.8    Schedule of Partners
The General Partner shall cause to be maintained at the principal office of the Partnership or such other place as the Partnership Law may permit, the Schedule of Partners, being a register of limited partnership interests and a record of contribution of the Limited Partners which shall include such information as may be required by the Partnership Law. The General Partner shall from time to time, update the Schedule of Partners as required by the Partnership Law to accurately reflect the information therein and no action of any partner shall be required to amend
    10


or update the Schedule of Partners. The Schedule of Partners shall not form part of this Agreement. The Schedule of Partners of the Partnership shall be the definitive record of ownership of each limited partnership interest and all relevant information with respect to each Partner.
ARTICLE 3
CAPITAL
Section 3.1    Contributions to Capital
(a)    Subject to the remaining provisions of this Section 3.1, (i) any required contribution of a Limited Partner to the capital of the Partnership shall be as set forth in the Schedule of Partners, and (ii) any such contributions to the capital of the Partnership shall be made as of the date of admission of such Limited Partner as a limited partner of the Partnership and as of each such other date as may be specified by the General Partner. Except as otherwise permitted by the General Partner, all contributions to the capital of the Partnership by each Limited Partner shall be payable exclusively in cash.
(b)    The Partnership has made a capital commitment to each of the Funds. Each Capital Partner is required to make capital contributions from time to time to the extent necessary to ensure that the Partnership meets its obligations to make contributions of capital to each of the Funds. The amount of each Capital Partner’s share of any required capital contribution will be pro rata in proportion to its uncalled capital commitment to the Partnership at the relevant time. Each Capital Partner’s uncalled capital commitment will be subject to adjustment in the same manner as the General Partner’s “Unpaid Capital Obligation” to the Funds as defined in the Fund LP Agreement. No Capital Partner will be required to make any capital contribution to the Partnership in excess of such Capital Partner’s uncalled capital commitment. No capital contribution to the Partnership by a Capital Partner will be used for any purpose other than to satisfy a capital call due from the Partnership to a Fund without the written consent of such Capital Partner. The General Partner will give each Capital Partner a written notice of any capital call at or about the time that a Fund issues a capital call to its partners.
(c)    No Partner shall be obligated, nor shall any Partner have any right, to make any contribution to the capital of the Partnership other than as specified in this Section 3.1. No Limited Partner shall be obligated to restore any deficit balance in his Capital Account.
(d)    To the extent, if any, that at the time of the Final Distribution, it is determined that the Partnership, as a general partner of each of the Funds, is required to make any Clawback Payment with respect to any of the Funds, each Limited Partner (other than a Capital Partner in its capacity as such) shall be required to participate in such payment and contribute to the Partnership for ultimate distribution to the limited partners of the relevant Fund an amount equal to such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of any Clawback Payment, but not in any event in excess of the cumulative amount theretofore distributed to such Limited Partner with respect to the Operating Profit attributable to such Fund.
    11


Section 3.2    Rights of Partners in Capital
(a)    No Partner shall be entitled to interest on his capital contributions to the Partnership.
(b)    No Partner shall have the right to distributions or the return of any contribution to the capital of the Partnership except (i) for distributions in accordance with Section 4.1, or (ii) upon dissolution of the Partnership. The entitlement to any such return at such time shall be limited to the value of the Capital Account of the Partner. The General Partner shall not be liable for the return of any such amounts.
Section 3.3    Capital Accounts
(a)    The Partnership shall maintain for each Partner a separate Capital Account.
(b)    Each Partner’s Capital Account shall have an initial balance equal to the amount of cash and the net value of any securities or other property constituting such Partner’s initial contribution to the capital of the Partnership.
(c)    Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be increased by the sum of:
(i)    the amount of cash and the net value of any securities or other property constituting additional contributions by such Partner to the capital of the Partnership permitted pursuant to Section 3.1, plus
(ii)    in the case of each Capital Partner, any Capital Profit allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to Section 3.4, plus
(iii)    the portion of any Operating Profit allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to Section 3.4, plus
(iv)    such Partner’s allocable share of any decreases in any reserves recorded by the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6 and any receipts determined to be applicable to a prior period pursuant to Section 3.6(b), to the extent the General Partner determines that, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such item is to be credited to such Partner’s Capital Account on a basis which is not in accordance with the current respective Points of all Partners.
(d)    Each Partner’s Capital Account shall be reduced by the sum of (without duplication):
(i)    in the case of each Capital Partner, any Capital Loss allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to Section 3.4, plus
(ii)    the portion of any Operating Loss allocated to such Partner’s Capital Account pursuant to Section 3.4, plus
    12


(iii)    the amount of any cash and the net value of any property distributed to such Partner pursuant to Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 including any amount deducted pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 5.4 from any such amount distributed, plus
(iv)    any withholding taxes or other items payable by the Partnership and allocated to such Partner pursuant to Section 5.4, any increases in any reserves recorded by the Partnership pursuant to Section 3.6 and any payments determined to be applicable to a prior period pursuant to Section 3.6(b), to the extent the General Partner determines that, pursuant to any provision of this Agreement, such item is to be charged to such Partner’s Capital Account on a basis which is not in accordance with the current respective Points of all Partners.
(e)    If securities and/or other property are to be distributed in kind to the Partners or Retired Partners, including in connection with a liquidation pursuant to Section 8.1, they shall first be written up or down to their fair market value as of the date of such distribution, thus creating gain or loss for the Partnership, and the value of the securities and/or other property received by each Partner and each Retired Partner as so determined shall be debited against such Person’s Capital Account at the time of distribution.
Section 3.4    Allocation of Profit and Loss
(a)    Capital Profit and Operating Profit or Capital Loss and Operating Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners so as to produce Capital Accounts (computed after taking into account any other Capital Profit and Operating Profit or Capital Loss and Operating Loss for the Fiscal Year in which such event occurred and all distributions pursuant to Article 4 with respect to such Fiscal Year and after adding back each Partner’s share, if any, of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(i), or Partnership Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations sections 1.704 - 2(b)(2) and 1.704 - 2(d)) for the Partners such that a distribution of an amount of cash equal to such Capital Account balances in accordance with such Capital Account balances would be in the amounts, sequence and priority set forth in Article 4; provided, that the General Partner may allocate Operating Profit and Operating Loss and items thereof in such other manner as it determines to be appropriate to reflect the Partners’ interests in the Partnership.
(b)    To the extent that the allocations of Capital Loss or Operating Loss contemplated by Section 3.4(a) would cause the Capital Account of any Limited Partner to be less than zero, such Capital Loss or Operating Loss shall to that extent instead be allocated to and debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner (or, at the direction of the General Partner, to those Limited Partners who are members of the General Partner in proportion to their limited liability company interests in the General Partner). Following any such adjustment pursuant to Section 3.4(b) with respect to any Limited Partner, any Capital Profit or Operating Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year which would otherwise be credited to the Capital Account of such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(a) shall instead be credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) until the cumulative amounts so credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b) is equal to the cumulative amount debited against the
    13


Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to Section 3.4(b).
(c)    Each Limited Partner’s rights and entitlements as a Limited Partner are limited to the rights to receive allocations and distributions of Capital Profit and Operating Profit expressly conferred by this Agreement and any side letter or similar agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and the other rights expressly conferred by this Agreement and any such side letter or similar agreement or required by the Partnership Law, and a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any other allocations, distributions or payments in respect of his interest, or to have or exercise any other rights, privileges or powers.
Section 3.5    Tax Allocations
(a)    For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Capital Profit, Capital Loss, Operating Profit and Operating Loss pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year, provided, that any taxable income or loss associated with any Book-Tax Difference shall be allocated for tax purposes in accordance with the principles of section 704(c) of the Code in any such manner (as is permitted under that Code section and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) as determined by the General Partner.
(b)    If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership (whether under section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation, the issuance of such interests may, in the General Partner’s discretion, be treated as a payment of the relevant cash amount by the Partnership to the issued Partner and, subsequently, a contribution of such cash amount by such Partner to the Partnership. Upon such issuance, all Partnership assets may, in the General Partner’s discretion, be adjusted to equal their respective fair market values (as determined by the General Partner) in connection with such issuance and, immediately following such issuance, no Book-Tax Difference shall be reflected with respect to the issued Partner for such interests. Any deduction arising from the issuance of such interests shall be allocated to and among the Partners whose distributions are reduced as a result of such issuance.
Section 3.6    Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events
(a)    Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Operating Profit or Operating Loss for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate (whether or not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those parties who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time; provided, that the General Partner may (but is under no obligation to) charge or credit the amount of such reserve, increase or decrease to those parties who were Partners at
    14


the time, as determined by the General Partner, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve item was established in proportion to their respective Points at that time. The amount of any such reserve charged against the Capital Account of a Partner shall reduce the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof; and the amount of any such reserve credited to the Capital Account of a Partner shall increase the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof
(b)    If any amount paid by the Partnership was not previously accrued or reserved for but would nevertheless, in accordance with the Partnership’s accounting practices, be treated as applicable to one or more prior periods, then the General Partner may (but is under no obligation to) charge such amount to those parties who were Partners during such prior period or periods, based on each such Partner’s Points for such applicable period.
(c)    Any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b) shall be debited against the current balance in the Capital Account of the affected Partners. To the extent that the aggregate current Capital Account balances of such affected Partners are insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge, the deficiency shall be debited against the Capital Accounts of the other Partners in proportion to their respective Capital Account balances at such time; provided, that each such other Partner shall be entitled to a preferential allocation, in proportion to and to the extent of such other Partner’s share of any such deficiency, together with a carrying charge at a rate equal to the Reference Rate, of any Operating Profit that would otherwise have been allocable after the date of such charge to the Capital Accounts of the affected Partners whose Capital Accounts were insufficient to cover the full amount of the required charge. In no event shall a current or former Partner be obligated to satisfy any amount required to be charged pursuant to Section 3.6(a) or (b) other than by means of a debit against such Partner’s Capital Account.
Section 3.7    Finality and Binding Effect of General Partner’s Determinations
All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Article 3, including any accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.
Section 3.8    AEOI
(a)    Each Limited Partner:
(i)    shall provide, in a timely manner, such information regarding the Limited Partner and its beneficial owners and/or controlling persons and such forms or documentation as may be requested from time to time by the General Partner or the Partnership to enable the Partnership to comply with the requirements and obligations imposed on it pursuant to AEOI and shall update such information as necessary;
(ii)    acknowledges that any such forms or documentation provided to the Partnership or its agents pursuant to clause (i), or any financial or account information
    15


with respect to the Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership, may be disclosed to any Governmental Authority which collects information in accordance with AEOI and to any withholding agent where the provision of that information is required by such agent to avoid the application of any withholding tax on any payments to the Partnership;
(iii)    shall waive, and/or shall cooperate with the Partnership to obtain a waiver of, the provisions of any law which prohibits the disclosure by the Partnership, or by any of its agents, of the information or documentation requested from the Limited Partner pursuant to clause (i), prohibits the reporting of financial or account information by the Partnership or its agents required pursuant to AEOI or otherwise prevents compliance by the Partnership with its obligations under AEOI;
(iv)    acknowledges that, if it provides information and documentation that is in any way misleading, or it fails to provide and/or update the Partnership or its agents with the requested information and documentation necessary, in either case, to satisfy the Partnership’s obligations under AEOI, the Partnership may (whether or not such action or inaction leads to compliance failures by the Partnership, or a risk of the Partnership or its investors being subject to withholding tax or other penalties under AEOI) take any action and/or pursue all remedies at its disposal, including compulsory withdrawal of the Limited Partner, and may hold back from any withdrawal proceeds, or deduct from the Limited Partner’s Capital Account, any liabilities, costs, expenses or taxes caused (directly or indirectly) by the Limited Partner’s action or inaction; and
(v)    shall have no claim against the Partnership, or its agents, for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Partnership in order to comply with AEOI.
(b)    The Limited Partner hereby indemnifies the General Partner and the Partnership and each of their respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents and holds them harmless from and against any AEOI-related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties or taxes whatsoever which such Person may incur as a result of any action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of such Limited Partner (or any Related Party) described in Section 3.8(a)(i) through (iv). This indemnification shall survive the Limited Partner’s death or disposition of its interests in the Partnership.
Section 3.9    Alternative GP Vehicles
If the General Partner determines that for legal, tax, regulatory or other reasons (a) any investment or other activities of the Fund should be conducted through one or more parallel funds or other alternative investment vehicles as contemplated by the Fund LP Agreement, (b) any of such separate entities comprising the Fund should be managed or controlled by one or more separate entities serving as a general partner or in a similar capacity (each, an “Alternative GP Vehicle”), and (c) some or all of the Partners should participate through any such Alternative GP Vehicle, the General Partner may require any or all of the Partners, as determined by the General Partner, to participate directly or indirectly through any such Alternative GP Vehicle and
    16


to undertake such related and incidental activities and execute and deliver such related documents necessary or incidental thereto with and/or in lieu of the Partnership, and the General Partner shall have all necessary authority to implement such Alternative GP Vehicle; provided, that to the maximum extent practicable and subject to applicable legal, tax, regulatory or similar technical reasons, each Partner shall have the same economic interest in all material respects in an Alternative GP Vehicle formed pursuant to this Section 3.9 as such Partner would have had if it had participated in all Portfolio Investments through the Partnership, and the terms of such Alternative GP Vehicle shall be substantially the same in all material respects to those of the Partnership and this Agreement. Each Partner shall take such actions and execute such documents as the General Partner determines are reasonably needed to accomplish the foregoing.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1    Distributions
(a)    Any amount of cash or property received as a distribution from any of the Funds by the Partnership in its capacity as a partner, to the extent such amount is determined by reference to the capital commitment of the Partnership in, or the capital contributions of the Partnership to, any of the Funds, shall be promptly distributed by the Partnership to the Capital Partners in proportion to their respective capital commitments to the Partnership.
(b)    The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute, as promptly as practicable after receipt by the Partnership, any available cash or property attributable to items included in the determination of Operating Profit, subject to the provisions of section 10.3 of the Fund LP Agreements and subject to the retention of such reserves as the General Partner considers appropriate for purposes of the prudent and efficient financial operation of the Partnership’s business including in accordance with Section 3.6. Any such distributions (before adjustment for Holdback Amounts) shall be made to Partners in proportion to their respective Points, determined:
(i)    in the case of any amount of cash or property received from any of the Funds that is attributable to the disposition of a Portfolio Investment by such Fund, as of the date of such disposition by such Fund; and
(ii)    in any other case, as of the date of receipt of such cash or property by the Partnership;
provided, that any cash or other property that the General Partner determines is attributable to a Book-Tax Difference shall be distributed to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a share of such Book-Tax Difference pursuant to the definition of “Book-Tax Difference,” with any such distribution to be in the proportion that each such Limited Partner’s allocated share of the applicable Book-Tax Difference bears to the total Book-Tax Difference of the asset giving rise to the cash or property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner shall retain from the distribution amount apportioned to each Limited Partner other than any Capital Partner any Holdback Amount with respect to such Limited Partner, to the extent required and as determined in accordance with such Limited Partner’s Award Letter.
    17


(c)    Distributions of amounts attributable to Operating Profit and Book-Tax Difference shall be made in cash; provided, that if the Partnership receives a distribution from the Fund in the form of property other than cash, the General Partner may distribute such property in kind to Partners in proportion to their respective Points.
(d)    Any distributions or payments in respect of the interests of Limited Partners unrelated to Capital Profit or Operating Profit or Book Tax Difference shall be made at such time, in such manner and to such Limited Partners as the General Partner shall determine.
(e)    Except as the General Partner otherwise may determine, any Newly-Admitted Limited Partner shall have the right, after the distribution of any amounts attributable to Book-Tax Differences present at the time of such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner’s admission pursuant to the proviso of Section 4.1(b) to the other Limited Partners, to receive a special distribution of the Catch Up Amount (before adjustment for Holdback Amounts).
(i)    Any such special distribution of the Catch Up Amount shall be in addition to the distributions to which the Newly-Admitted Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to Section 4.1(b) and shall be made to the Newly-Admitted Limited Partner (or, if there is more than one such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner, pro rata to all such Newly-Admitted Limited Partners based on the aggregate amount of such distributions each such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner has not yet received) from amounts otherwise distributable to the other Limited Partners from whom or from which the Points allocated to such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner(s) were reallocated (including from distributions of Book-Tax Difference arising after such Newly-Admitted Limited Partner’s admission), and shall reduce the amounts distributable to such other Limited Partners pursuant to Section 4.1(b), until each applicable Newly-Admitted Limited Partner has received an amount equal to the applicable Catch Up Amount (before adjustment for Holdback Amounts).
(ii)     Any reallocation of Points to a Limited Partner who is not a Newly-Admitted Limited Partner pursuant to Article 7 shall include the right to receive any Catch Up Amount associated with such Points and shall succeed to any Book-Tax Difference accounts associated with such Points, except to the extent that the General Partner determines that the inclusion of such right would be inconsistent with the treatment of the reallocation of Points to such Limited Partner as a “profits interest” for income tax purposes.
Section 4.2    Withholding of Certain Amounts
(a)    If the Partnership incurs a withholding or other tax obligation (a “Tax Obligation”) with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner (including pursuant to section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules), then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such Tax Obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when the Partnership pays such Tax Obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold
    18


harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
(b)    If a Tax Obligation is required to be paid by the Partnership (including with respect to a tax liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) and the General Partner determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Partnership of a Person that is at such time a Partner, such Tax Obligation shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner for purposes of this Section 4.2(b) whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Partnership during which such Partner held an interest in the Partnership. To the extent that any liability with respect to a Tax Obligation (including a liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) relates to a former Partner that has transferred all or a part of its interest in the Partnership, such former Partner (which in the case of a partial Transfer shall include a continuing Partner with respect to the portion of its interests in the Partnership so transferred) shall indemnify the Partnership for its allocable portion of such liability, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the Transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, it may remain liable, pursuant to this Section 4.2(b), for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Partnership for the Partnership’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such Transfer, as applicable (including any such liabilities imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules).
(c)    The General Partner may withhold from any distribution to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement any other amounts due from such Limited Partner or a Related Party (without duplication) to the Partnership or to any other Affiliate of AGM pursuant to any binding agreement or published policy to the extent not otherwise paid. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.
Section 4.3    Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of his interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Partnership Law or other applicable law.
Section 4.4    Distributions in Excess of Basis
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may refrain from making, at any time prior to the dissolution of the Partnership, all or any portion of any cash distribution that otherwise would be made to a Partner or Retired Partner, if such distribution would exceed such Person’s United States federal income tax basis in the Partnership. Any amount that is not distributed to a Partner or Retired Partner due to the preceding sentence, as determined by the General Partner, either shall be retained by the Partnership on such Person’s behalf or loaned to such Person. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.4, 100% of any or all subsequent cash distributions shall be distributed to such Person (or, if there is more than one such Person, pro rata to all such Persons based on the aggregate
    19


amount of distributions each such Person has not yet received) until each such Person has received the same aggregate amount of distributions such Person would have received had distributions to such Person not been deferred pursuant to this Section 4.4. If any amount is loaned to a Partner or Retired Partner pursuant to this Section 4.4, (a) any amount thereafter distributed to such Person shall be applied to repay the principal amount of such loan, and (b) interest, if any, accrued or received by the Partnership on such loan shall be allocated and distributed to such Person. Any such loan shall be repaid no later than immediately prior to the satisfaction of all Partnership liabilities at the time of the liquidation of the Partnership. Until such repayment, for purposes of any determination hereunder based on amounts distributed to a Person, the principal amount of such loan shall be treated as having been distributed to such Person.
Section 4.5    Reclamation of Certain Distributions
If, after a distribution made pursuant to Section 4.1(b), a Partner’s Points are reduced, and such reduction is applied retroactively such that such Partner’s Points on the dates specified in Section 4.1(b) would have been zero, such Partner shall repay to the Partnership the amounts distributed to such Partner based on his or her Points prior to such reduction but after the effective date of the reduction.
ARTICLE 5
MANAGEMENT
Section 5.1    Rights and Powers of the General Partner
(a)    Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the General Partner shall have complete and exclusive responsibility (i) for all management decisions to be made on behalf of the Partnership, and (ii) for the conduct of the business and affairs of the Partnership, including all such decisions and all such business and affairs to be made or conducted by the Partnership in its capacity as Fund General Partner of any of the Funds and certain Voting Affiliated Feeder Funds.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the General Partner shall have full power and authority to execute, deliver and perform such contracts, agreements and other undertakings, and to engage in all activities and transactions, as it may deem necessary or advisable for, or as may be incidental to, the conduct of the business contemplated by this Section 5.1, including, without in any manner limiting the generality of the foregoing, contracts, agreements, undertakings and transactions with any Partner or with any other Person having any business, financial or other relationship with any Partner or Partners. The Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, may enter into and perform the Fund LP Agreements, any governing documents of the Voting Affiliated Feeder Funds and any documents contemplated thereby or related thereto and any amendments thereto, without any further act, vote or approval of any Person, including any Partner, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement. The General Partner is hereby authorized to enter into the documents described in the preceding sentence on behalf of the Partnership, but such authorization shall not be deemed a restriction on the power of the General Partner to enter into other documents on behalf of the Partnership.
    20


(c)    The Partnership Representative shall be permitted to take any and all actions under the BBA Audit Rules (including making or revoking the election referred to in section 6226 of the BBA Audit Rules and all other applicable tax elections) and to act as the Partnership Representative thereunder, and shall have any powers necessary to perform fully in such capacity, in consultation with the General Partner if the General Partner is not the Partnership Representative. The General Partner shall (or shall cause another Partnership Representative to) promptly inform the Limited Partners of any tax deficiencies assessed or proposed to be assessed (of which a Partnership Representative or the General Partner is actually aware) by any taxing authority against the Partnership or the Limited Partners. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the acts of the General Partner (and with respect to applicable tax matters, any other Partnership Representative) in carrying on the business of the Partnership as authorized herein shall bind the Partnership. Each Partner shall upon request supply the information necessary to properly give effect to any elections described in this Section 5.1(c) or to otherwise enable a Partnership Representative to implement the provisions of this Section 5.1(c) (including filing tax returns, defending tax audits or other similar proceedings and conducting tax planning). The Limited Partners agree to reasonably cooperate with the Partnership or General Partner, and undertake any action reasonably requested by the Partnership or the General Partner, in connection with any elections made by the Partnership Representative or as determined to be reasonably necessary by the Partnership Representative under the BBA Audit Rules.
(d)    Each Partner agrees not to treat, on his United States federal income tax return or in any claim for a refund, any item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit in a manner inconsistent with the treatment of such item by the Partnership. The General Partner shall have the exclusive authority to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other revenue law.
Section 5.2    Delegation of Duties
(a)    Subject to Section 5.1, the General Partner may delegate to any Person or Persons any of the duties, powers and authority vested in it hereunder on such terms and conditions as it may consider appropriate.

    22


Section 5.7    Duty of Care; Indemnification
(a)    The General Partner (including, without limitation, for this purpose each former and present director, officer, manager, member, employee and stockholder of the General Partner), the Partnership Representative and each Limited Partner (including any former Limited Partner) in his capacity as such, and to the extent such Limited Partner participates, directly or indirectly, in the Partnership’s activities, whether or not a Retired Partner (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim, damage or liability occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of his services hereunder, unless it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such loss, claim, damage or liability is due to an act or omission of a Covered Person (i) made in bad faith or with criminal intent, or (ii) that adversely affected any Fund and that failed to satisfy the duty of care owed pursuant to the applicable Fund LP Agreement or as otherwise required by law.
(b)    A Covered Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by or imposed upon him by reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Partner or his activities on behalf of the Partnership, including in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding before any judicial, administrative, regulatory or legislative body or agency to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the General Partner, the Partnership Representative or a Limited Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of the Partnership in its capacity as Fund General Partner of the Funds, as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, member or partner of any enterprise in which any of the Funds has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; provided, that the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that his acts or his failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal intent, or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Funds unavailable. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person. The Partnership shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the final disposition of such action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that he is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7, and in any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final Adjudication that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses
    23


pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The General Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 5.7 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership (including, without limitation, insurance proceeds and rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Article 5 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder and may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Article 5. Each Covered Person shall be deemed a third party beneficiary (to the extent not a direct party hereto) to this Agreement and, in particular, the provisions of this Article 5, and shall be entitled to the benefit of the indemnity granted to the Partnership by each of the Funds pursuant to the terms of the Fund LP Agreements.
(c)    To the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for his good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.
(d)    Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, the Partnership may but shall not be required to indemnify (i) a Retired Partner (or any other former Limited Partner) with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from any conduct occurring more than six months after the date of such Person’s retirement (or other withdrawal or departure), (ii) a Limited Partner with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses as a director, officer or agent of the issuer of any Portfolio Investment to the extent arising from conduct in such capacity occurring more than six months after the complete disposition of such Portfolio Investment by the Fund, or (iii) any Person to the extent the General Partner so determines.
Section 5.8    Discretion; Good Faith
Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or as required by law, each power and authority vested in the General Partner by or pursuant to any provisions of this Agreement or the Partnership Law shall be construed as being exercisable by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion. To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever the General Partner is authorized to make a decision (a) in its discretion, the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its and its Affiliates’ own interests, and shall otherwise have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or any other Person, or (b) in its good faith or under another express standard, the General Partner shall
    24


act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard, and may exercise its discretion differently with respect to different Limited Partners.

In the event of any Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must also be satisfied.
(b)    A Limited Partner or his legal representative shall give the General Partner notice before the proposed effective date of any voluntary Transfer and within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for

Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment acceptable to the General Partner.
(c)    In the event any Transfer permitted by this Section 6.3 shall result in multiple ownership of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees or nominees to be designated to represent a portion of the interest transferred or the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferees have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement.
(d)    A permitted transferee shall be entitled to be paid to the allocations and distributions attributable to the interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee and to Transfer such interest in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; provided, that such transferee shall not be entitled to the other rights of a Limited Partner as a result of such transfer until he becomes a substituted Limited Partner. No transferee may become a substituted Limited Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner, provided that in relation to the outgoing Limited Partner’s Related Party such consent or approval must not be unreasonably withheld in accordance with Section 6.3(a)). Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon execution of a counterpart of this Agreement or such other instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner, such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner and its agreement to adhere to and be bound to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
(e)    Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(f)    In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall
    26


not be required to, file an election under section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by section 734 or 743 of the Code.

No transfer of a partnership interest shall be effective until the transfer of the partnership interest is registered upon books maintained for that purpose by or on behalf of the Partnership.
(h)    In the event of a Transfer of all of a Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, such Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership as contemplated by Section 4.2(b) and shall, if requested by the General Partner, expressly acknowledge such liability in such agreements as may be entered into by such Limited Partner in connection with such Transfer.
Section 6.4    Withdrawal of Partners
A Partner may not withdraw from the Partnership without the prior consent of the General Partner.

If the interest of the Limited Partner in the Partnership or Co-Investors (A) or any portion thereof in respect of which a Limited Partner has granted a security interest ceases to be owned by such Limited Partner in connection with the exercise by the secured party of remedies resulting from a default by such Limited Partner or upon the occurrence of such similar events with respect to such Limited Partner's interest in Co-Investors (A), such interest of the Limited Partner in the Partnership or portion thereof shall thereupon become a non-voting interest and the holder thereof shall not be entitled to vote on any matter pursuant to this Agreement.

    27


Commissioners on Uniform State Laws and approved by the American Bar Association on February 14, 1995.
(d)    Any partnership interest in the Partnership may be evidenced by a certificate issued by the Partnership in such form as the General Partner may approve. Every certificate representing an interest in the Partnership shall bear a legend substantially in the following form:

AND RETIREMENT OF PARTNERS

(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall be responsible for the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners. The General Partner may allocate Points to a new Limited Partner and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner, in each case, solely in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein.
(b)    Unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner, the allocation of Points to any Limited Partner shall not become effective until:
(i)    the receipt of the following documents, in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the General Partner, executed by such Limited Partner: (A) a customary and standard guarantee or guarantees, for the benefit of Fund investors, of the Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of the Partnership’s obligation to make Clawback Payments, and (B) a customary and standard undertaking to reimburse APH for any payment made by it (or by another AGM Affiliate) that is attributable to such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of any Clawback Payment; and
    28


(ii)    the effective date of the acceptance by Co-Investors (A) of a capital commitment from such Limited Partner (or his Related Party, as applicable) in an amount equal to the percentage of total Fund commitments specified in the Points allocation notice delivered to such Limited Partner in writing by the General Partner. Upon the occurrence of a material default, after the expiration of the applicable cure period set forth in section 4.2 of the Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreement, in the obligation to contribute capital to Co-Investors (A) in accordance with the Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreement by a Limited Partner, the General Partner may reduce or eliminate the Points of any such Limited Partner (including the Vested Points of any Retired Partner).
(c)    The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a record of the number of Points allocated to each Partner and shall give notice to each Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the Partnership of such Limited Partner and promptly upon any change in such Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Article 7 and such notice shall include the calculations used by the General Partner to determine the amount of any such reduction.
(d)    The General Partner may enter into an agreement pursuant to which any Person other than AGM or a subsidiary of AGM would be entitled to receive one or more distributions of or attributable to Operating Profit in an amount calculated by reference to the investment performance of one or more, but not all, specified Portfolio Investments (each such distribution, a “Designated Investment Distribution”). In furtherance of the foregoing, the General Partner shall be entitled to make such equitable adjustments as it determines to be appropriate to give effect to the foregoing, including, without limitation, (i) reducing the amount of Operating Profit that would otherwise be distributable with respect to Points pursuant to Section 4.1(b) by the amount of any Designated Investment Distribution determined by the General Partner to be sourced or distributable from such Operating Profit and (ii) requiring any Limited Partner to return all or a portion of any distribution previously made to fund the payment of any such Designated Investment Distribution.
Section 7.2    Retirement of Partner
(a)    A Limited Partner shall become a Retired Partner upon:
(i)    delivery to such Limited Partner of a notice by the General Partner or any of its Affiliates terminating such Limited Partner’s employment by or service to AGM or an Affiliate thereof, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner;
(ii)    delivery by such Limited Partner of a notice to the General Partner, AGM or an Affiliate thereof stating that such Limited Partner elects to resign from or otherwise terminate his or her employment by or service to AGM or an Affiliate thereof; or
(iii)    the death of the Limited Partner, whereupon the estate of the deceased Limited Partner shall be treated as a Retired Partner in the place of the deceased Limited Partner, or the Disability of the Limited Partner.
    29


(b)    Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner, it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.
Section 7.3    Additional Points
If one or more Partners or Retired Partners is assigned additional Points and the General Partner determines in connection with such assignment that such assignment may be, for purposes of section 83 of the Code, a transfer in connection with the performance of services of an interest that would not qualify as a “profits interest” within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27, then the General Partner may make such adjustments to the amounts allocated and distributed to such Partner or Retired Partner with respect to such reallocated Points (and corresponding adjustments to other allocations and distributions for Partners and Retired Partners as determined by the General Partner) so as to cause such interest to qualify as a “profits interest” within the meaning of IRS Revenue Procedure 93-27, including by treating such reallocation as an event described in the definitions of “Carrying Value” and “Book-Tax Difference” and by treating such Partner or Retired Partner as a Newly-Admitted Limited Partner with respect to such Points.
ARTICLE 8

Section 8.1    Winding Up and Dissolution of Partnership
(a)    Upon the commencement of the winding up of the Partnership in accordance with the Partnership Law, the General Partner shall wind up the business and administrative affairs and liquidate the assets of the Partnership, except that, if the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator may be elected by a majority in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners and upon such election such liquidator shall liquidate the Partnership. Capital Profit and Capital Loss, Operating Profit and Operating Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in the following manner:
(i)    first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership including the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof); and
(ii)    thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts pro rata in accordance with and up to the positive balances of their respective Capital Accounts, as adjusted pursuant to Article 3.
(b)    Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon dissolution, any assets of the
    30


Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in Section 8.1(a), provided, that if any in kind distribution is to be made the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under Section 8.1(a).
(c)     Following the completion of the winding up of the Partnership, the General Partner (or the liquidator as applicable) shall execute, acknowledge and cause to be filed a notice of dissolution (the “Notice of Dissolution”) of the Partnership with the Registrar and the winding up of the Partnership shall be complete on the filing of the Notice of Dissolution.

(a)    The General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner by giving notice of such amendment to any Limited Partner whose rights or obligations as a Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement are changed thereby; provided, that any amendment that would effect a material adverse change in the contractual rights or obligations of a Partner (such rights or obligations determined without regard to the amendment power reserved herein) may only be made if the written consent of such Partner is obtained prior to the effectiveness thereof; provided, that any amendment that increases a Partner’s obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership or increases such Partner’s Clawback Share shall not be effective with respect to such Partner, unless such Partner consents thereto in advance in writing.

An adjustment of Points shall not be considered an amendment to the extent effected in compliance with the provisions of Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 as in effect on the date hereof or as hereafter amended in compliance with the requirements of this Section 9.1(a). The General Partner’s approval of or consent to any transaction resulting in any change to the scheme of distribution under any of the Fund LP Agreements that would have the effect of reducing the Partnership’s allocable share of the Net Income of any Fund shall require the consent of any Limited Partner on whom such change would have a material adverse effect.

(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including Section 9.1(a), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person may enter into one or more side letters or similar agreements with one or more Limited Partners which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in a side letter or similar agreement with one or more Limited Partners shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner or Limited Partners notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement. Any such side letters or similar agreements shall be binding upon the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, and the signatories thereto as if the terms were contained in this Agreement, but no such side letter or similar agreement between the General Partner and any Limited Partner or Limited Partners and the Partnership shall adversely amend the contractual rights or obligations of any other Limited Partner without such other Limited Partner’s prior consent.
(c)    The provisions of this Agreement that affect the terms of the Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreement applicable to Limited Partners constitute a “side letter or similar agreement” between each Limited Partner and the general partner of Co-Investors (A), which has executed this Agreement exclusively for purposes of confirming the foregoing.

(iii)    all such instruments, certificates, agreements and other documents relating to the conduct of the investment program of any of the Funds which, in the opinion of such attorney-in-fact and the legal counsel to the Funds, are reasonably necessary to accomplish the legal, regulatory and fiscal objectives of the Funds in connection with its or their acquisition, ownership and disposition of investments, including, without limitation:
(A)    the governing documents of any management entity formed as a part of the tax planning for any of the Funds and any amendments thereto; and
    32


(B)    documents relating to any restructuring transaction with respect to any of the Funds’ investments,
provided, that such documents referred to in clauses (A) and (B) above, viewed individually or in the aggregate, provide equivalent financial and economic rights and obligations with respect to such Limited Partner and otherwise do not:
(1)    increase the Limited Partner’s financial obligation to make capital contributions with respect to the relevant Fund (directly or through any associated vehicle in which the Limited Partner holds an interest);
(2)    diminish the Limited Partner’s entitlement to share in profits and distributions with respect to the relevant Fund (directly or through any associated vehicle in which the Limited Partner holds an interest);

(ii)    shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power- of-attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution; and
(iii)    Extends to the heirs, executors, administrators, other legal representatives and successors, transferees and assigns of such Limited Partner, and may be exercised by the General Partner on behalf of such Limited Partner in executing any instrument by a facsimile or electronic signature or by listing all the Limited Partners and executing that instrument with a single signature as attorney and/or agent for all of them.

Black with a copy to the general counsel of the Partnership.

Section 9.4    Agreement Binding Upon Successors and Assigns
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof that is not made in accordance with such express provisions shall be void and unenforceable.
Section 9.5    Merger, Consolidation, etc.
(a)    Subject to Section 9.5(b) and Section 9.6(c), the Partnership may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under the Partnership Law or
    34


other business entities pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation which has been approved by the General Partner.
(b)    Subject to Section 9.5(c) but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with Section 9.5(a) may, to the extent permitted by the Partnership Law and Section 9.5(a), (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the partnership agreement of any other constituent limited partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.
(c)    The General Partner shall have the power and authority to approve and implement any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, restructuring or similar transaction without the consent of any Limited Partner, other than any Limited Partner with respect to which such transaction will, or will reasonably be likely to, result in any change in the financial rights or obligations or material change in other rights or obligations of such Limited Partner conferred by this Agreement and any side letter or similar agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or the imposition of any new financial or other material obligation on such Limited Partner. Subject to the foregoing, the General Partner may require one or more of the Limited Partners to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership in connection with any such transaction, and each Limited Partner shall take such action as may be directed by the General Partner to effect any such transaction.
Section 9.6    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
(a)    This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of each and all of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Partnership Law, without regard to conflict of laws rules thereof.
(b)    Subject to Section 9.6(c), any dispute, controversy, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator in New York County, New York (applying Cayman Islands law) in accordance with, and pursuant to, the applicable rules of JAMS (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and none of the parties shall disclose the existence of a claim, the nature of a claim, any documents, exhibits, or information exchanged or presented in connection with such a claim, or the result of any action, to any third party, except as required by law, with the sole exception of their legal counsel and parties engaged by that counsel to assist in the arbitration process, who also shall be bound by these confidentiality terms. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Any arbitral award may be entered as a judgment or order in any court of competent jurisdiction. Either party may commence litigation in court to obtain injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, to compel arbitration, or to confirm or vacate an award, to the extent authorized by the United States Federal Arbitration Act or the New York Arbitration Act. The party that is determined by the arbitrator not to be the prevailing party will pay all of the JAMS administrative fees, the arbitrator’s fee and expenses. If neither party is so determined, such fees shall be shared. Each
    35


party shall be responsible for such party’s attorneys’ fees. IF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE THEN, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WAIVE AND COVENANT THAT THE PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREE THAT ANY OF THE PARTNERSHIP OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR THE PARTNER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS PARAGRAPH WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PARTNER, ON THE OTHER HAND, IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT ANY PROCEEDING PROPERLY HEARD BY A COURT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
(c)    Nothing in this Section 9.6 will prevent the General Partner or a Limited Partner from applying to a court for preliminary or interim relief or permanent injunction in a judicial proceeding (e.g., injunction or restraining order), in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, if such relief from a court is necessary to preserve the status quo pending resolution or to prevent serious and irreparable injury in connection with any breach or anticipated breach of any Restrictive Covenants set forth in a Limited Partner’s Award Letter; provided, that all parties explicitly waive all rights to seek preliminary, interim, injunctive or other relief in a judicial proceeding and all parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the forum described in Section 9.6(b) hereto for any dispute or claim concerning continuing entitlement to distributions or other payments, even if such dispute or claim involves or relates to any Restrictive Covenants set forth in a Limited Partner’s Award Letter. For the purposes of this Section 9.6(c), each party hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the Cayman Islands.
Section 9.7    Termination of Right of Action
Every right of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any past, present or future Partner or the Partnership against any past, present or future Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the place where the action may be brought and irrespective of the residence of any such Partner, cease and be barred by the expiration of three years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.

Section 5.7, and none of the provisions of this Agreement shall be for the benefit of or enforceable by the creditors of the Partnership and this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Members and their respective legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns. Without limitation to the foregoing, a Person who is not a party to this Agreement may not, in its own right or otherwise, enforce any term of this Agreement except that each Covered Person and any Person which retains indemnification rights pursuant to Section 5.7, may in its own right enforce directly its rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 5.7 subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Law, 2014, as amended, modified, re-enacted or replaced. Notwithstanding any other term of this Agreement, the consent of, or notice to, any Person who is not a party to this Agreement (including, without limitation, any Covered Person and any Person which retains indemnification rights pursuant to Section 5.7) is not required for any amendment to, or variation, release, rescission or termination of this Agreement.

Award Letter

«Date»

«Name»
«Address»
Dear «Prefix_and_Last_Name»:
Reference is made to the exempted limited partnership agreement referred to in the Participant Execution Page (the “Carry Plan LPA”) of Apollo ADIP Advisors, L.P. (the “Partnership”). Capitalized terms not defined herein have the meanings set forth in the Carry Plan LPA.
This letter is your “Award Letter” as defined in the Carry Plan LPA.
Your Initial Point Award
You are being granted the number of Points in the Partnership set forth on your Participant Execution Page (out of a maximum of [___] Points that will be issued by the Partnership and outstanding at any time) on the terms set forth in this Award Letter and the Carry Plan LPA. Your Points will not be reduced (or otherwise be subject to dilution) except (i) pursuant to the vesting formulas described below under “Effect of Retirement on Points; Vesting Terms,” (ii) as described below under “Dilution,” (iii) in the event of a Designated Investment Distribution pursuant to Section 7.1(d) of the Carry Plan LPA relating to one or more specific Portfolio Investments, or (iv) as a result of forfeiture in the event of a Bad Act (as defined in Annex A hereto) resulting in termination or in the event of a breach of a restrictive covenant in favor of AGM or any of its asset management subsidiaries (together, “Apollo”) (as described below).
The Partnership is the general partner of the parallel funds in the Apollo/Athene Dedicated Investment Program fund structure (collectively, the “Fund”), and as such the Partnership earns the carried interest on net profits realized for the Fund’s investors. Your Points entitle you to a share of the carried interest received by the Partnership. You will be entitled to share in distributions on the Points only to the extent that amounts received by the Partnership are determined to be (a) sourced out of appreciation in the assets of the Fund or (b) otherwise consistent with the treatment of the Points as profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Subject to the foregoing, your share of future distributions received by the Partnership after the date of this Award Letter will be calculated as if you had held your Points since «Vesting_Commencement_Date».
Effect of Retirement on Points; Vesting Terms
[If your employment by Apollo is terminated as a result of a Bad Act, all of your Points will be forfeited.


Page 2


If you cease to be employed by Apollo for any reason other than a Bad Act, your “Vested Points” will be calculated separately with respect to each award of Points having a different Vesting Commencement Date (as defined below), calculated as follows:
If you cease to be employed by Apollo for any reason other than death, disability or a Bad Act, up to [__] of the Points awarded to you are eligible for vesting upon separation from Apollo, and the remaining [__] of your Points are not eligible for vesting. Points eligible for vesting will vest [on a straight-line monthly basis as of the last day of each calendar month over the period commencing on the applicable Vesting Commencement Date and ending on the earlier of (i) the [___] anniversary of the Vesting Commencement Date or (ii) the last day of the calendar month occurring on or prior to the date on which you give or receive notice of your resignation from or termination by Apollo] (the “Vesting Period”). This means that, for every [month-end date] that occurs during the applicable Vesting Period, your “Vested Points” on separation from Apollo will increase by an amount equal to [__] ([__] of [__]) of the number of total Points you held on your separation date.
However, if you cease to be employed before the [___] anniversary of your first day of employment by Apollo other than by reason of death or disability, none of your Points will vest. If your [____] anniversary date of employment occurs after the applicable Vesting Commencement Date and you are still employed by Apollo at that time, your Vested Points will be calculated in accordance with the formula above, retroactive to the Vesting Commencement Date.
If your Vesting Period ends prior to the [__] anniversary of the applicable Vesting Commencement Date by reason of death or disability, your Vested Points will be increased by [___] of the difference between the vested amount as determined pursuant to the formula described above and the amount [__] that would have become fully vested at [__] months.
The General Partner may (but has no obligation to) agree to a lesser reduction (or to no reduction) of your Points or to extend the Vesting Period after you have ceased to be employed by Apollo.
The term “Vesting Commencement Date” means (i) «Vesting_Commencement_Date», in the case of the Points awarded pursuant to this Award Letter, and (ii) in the case of any additional Points that may be awarded to you in the future, the date specified in the subsequent award letter or notice.
Vesting is relevant only for purposes of determining your entitlement to distributions after separation from Apollo, and not to entitlements before your separation from Apollo, which are based on your total Points.]
Dilution
The number of Points allocated to you may be reduced as a consequence of an allocation of Points to another Partner only if all of the following conditions are satisfied:
(1)    The allocation of Points is to be made to a Person who is (or will become at the time of the Point allocation) a Team Member.


Page 3


(2)    Team Members will hold a number of Points in the aggregate that is greater than the Reserved Team Points.
(3)    After giving effect to any reduction in your Points, you will have at least [__] Points (or, if you are a Retired Partner at the time of the proposed reduction, the product of [__] multiplied by the applicable Vesting Percentage at the time of Retirement).
(4)    The Commitment Period has not expired. For the avoidance of doubt, a Team Member’s Points shall not be reduced as a consequence of an allocation of Points to another Person on and following the expiration of the Commitment Period.
(5)    The reduction in your Points shall not exceed a x b, where:
a =    the excess of the number of Points described in clause (1) above, over the number, determined before such allocation, of Reserved Team Points that are not held by Team Members (“Applicable Points”).
b =    a fraction equal to the number of Points that you held immediately prior to such reduction divided by the sum of (i) the aggregate number of Points that were held by APH (including for this purpose GCP, as defined below) immediately prior to such reduction plus (ii) the aggregate number of Points that were held by any other Limited Partner who had more than [__] Points at such time.
If, as a result of the formula described in clause (5) above, your Points would be reduced to below [__], your Points shall be reduced to [__] and the balance of the Points that would otherwise have reduced your Points shall instead be treated as Applicable Points. The same principle shall apply to any other Limited Partner, other than APH or a Founder Partner, whose Points would otherwise be reduced to below [__].
The term “Reserved Team Points” means a number of Points equal to the total initial number of Points that were offered to prospective Team Members or reserved for prospective Team Members by the General Partner at the time when prospective Team Members were initially invited to join the Partnership, as confirmed in writing by a Co-President and the CFO of Private Equity and Real Assets and the Manager of the Firm’s Carry and Co-Invest Plans.
No such reduction shall be applied to you for purposes of allocating, reallocating or granting Points to Apollo Global Carry Pool (or any participant therein) or any similar program, mandate or vehicle maintained by AGM or any of its Affiliates (collectively, “GCP”).
Your Points will also be subject to dilution on a pro rata basis if Points (or other rights to carry distributions) are awarded to Apollo personnel (including other participants) or to others with respect to one or more specific Portfolio Investments, as described in Section 7.1(d) of the Carry Plan LPA. You may be required to return distributions to the extent subsequently determined to be necessary to satisfy obligations associated with such an award. In addition, the General Partner may create reserves out of amounts otherwise distributable to you and other participants for anticipated amounts that may become due for such awards.
Affiliates of the Partnership may make one or more awards to Team Members residing outside the United States of “Notional Points” that are indexed to Points issued by the


Page 4


Partnership to APH. For purposes of applying the dilution provisions of the Award Letter, any Notional Points issued or proposed to be issued to Team Members will be treated for computational purposes as if such Notional Points were actual Points issued or to be issued to Team Members.
Restoration of Point Reductions
If, at a time when any of your Points have been reduced pursuant to “Dilution” above and not fully restored, any Points of any other Team Member become available for reallocation as a result of such other Team Member’s becoming a Retired Partner, such available Points shall be reallocated, on a pro rata basis, among (i) you and all other Team Members having any such unrestored Points, (ii) APH and the Founder Partners and (iii) any other Limited Partner whose Points were reduced, until all such reduced Points have been fully restored to you.
For this purpose, “pro rata” with respect to you means a/b, where:
a =    all reduction amounts previously applicable to you pursuant to “Dilution” above, net of all amounts previously restored to you.
b =    the aggregate of all such net unrestored reduction amounts for all Team Members, APH and the Founder Partners taking into account only reductions incurred as a consequence of Point allocations to Team Members, excluding reductions of APH’s Points that increased the number of Reserved Team Points then allocated to Team Members.
If a reduction occurred prior to your retirement and you have any remaining unrestored Points at the time of your retirement, the quantity of such unrestored Points will be adjusted at that time by multiplying such amount by your applicable Vesting Percentage.
After restoration of all previously reduced Points, the General Partner will determine the manner of reallocating any additional Points that become available.
Restrictive Covenants
Compliance with your contractual restrictive covenants in favor of AGM or its Affiliates is a condition to your receipt and retention of Points. Your violation of any applicable restrictive covenant results in immediate forfeiture of all your Points.
Equal Treatment
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein or in the Carry Plan LPA, the General Partner will not treat you in a manner that is adverse in comparison with the treatment of APH or the Founder Partners with respect to distributions (including liquidating distributions) of Operating Profit (including form, timing and amount of such distributions), Point dilution and funding of Clawback Shares. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing is not intended to limit the General Partner’s authority relating to forfeiture of Points due to retirement or Bad Acts and allocation of Points to APH to the extent not required to be allocated to Team Members, in each case, in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth herein and in the Carry Plan LPA.


Page 5


Fund Clawback; Corporate Clawback Policy
    You will be responsible for a pro rata share of any clawback obligation owed by the General Partner for the benefit of Fund Investors at the end of the Fund’s life, based on your pro rata share of all distributions received from the General Partner. Your Partnership admission documents include both a personal guarantee of the clawback obligation and the Secured Reimbursement Agreement, by and between you and an Affiliate of AGM, dated on or about the date hereof (the “SRA”), which is a reimbursement agreement for the benefit of the Apollo entity which has provided a guarantee to investors for the full amount of any clawback, in each case relating to your pro rata share of any clawback payment. The SRA permits Apollo to hold back amounts that would otherwise be distributable to you whenever it determines that a clawback would be due to Fund investors on a pro forma basis assuming liquidation of the Fund at fair value as of a recent valuation date. The SRA also permits Apollo to satisfy your share of any clawback obligation from any amounts due to you from other entities controlled by Apollo.
To the extent mandated by applicable law, stock exchange or accounting rule and/or set forth in a written clawback policy (e.g., with respect to compensation paid based on financial statements that are later found to have been materially misstated) adopted by AGM or an Affiliate, amounts distributed in respect of Points may be subject to clawback by AGM or an Affiliate under such law, rule and/or policy and, accordingly, you may be required to refund any relevant amounts to AGM or the relevant Affiliate.
Miscellaneous
Your admission to the Partnership as a Limited Partner will take effect upon your delivery to the General Partner of your signed Participant Execution Page. This Award Letter (including the Participant Execution Page for the purposes set forth therein) is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. This Award Letter is binding on and enforceable against the General Partner, the Partnership and you. Except as otherwise described herein and in the Carry Plan LPA, this Award Letter may be amended only with the consent of each party hereto. This Award Letter may be executed by facsimile or electronic signature and in one or more counterparts, all of which constitute one and the same instrument.

(iv)    such Partner’s allocable share of any decrease in Book-Tax Difference
(e)    If securities and/or other property are to be distributed in kind to the Partners or Retired Partners, including in connection with a liquidation pursuant to Section 8.1, they shall first be written up or down to their fair market value as of the date of such distribution, thus creating gain or loss for the Partnership, and the value of the securities and/or other property received by each Partner and each Retired Partner as so determined shall be debited against such Person’s Capital Account at the time of distribution.
(f)    Within each Capital Account a separate sub-account may be established by the General Partner for each Class or tranche of Interests held by each Partner.
(g)    The General Partner, in its capacity as the general partner of the FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicles, may elect to further establish a notional capital account at the level of each such FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle to correspond with each capital account or sub-account established at the level of the Partnership and the tranches or Classes of Interests established at the level of the Partnership.

Section 3.4    Allocation of Profit and Loss
(a)    Operating Profit or Operating Loss for any Fiscal Year shall be allocated to the Partners so as to produce Capital Accounts for the Partners (such Capital Accounts computed after taking into account any other Operating Profit or Operating Loss for the Fiscal Year in which such event occurred and all distributions pursuant to Article 4 with respect to such Fiscal Year and after adding back each Partner’s share, if any, of Partner Nonrecourse Debt Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704 -2(b)(2) and 1.704 -2(i), or Partnership Minimum Gain, as defined in Treasury Regulations Sections 1.704 -2(b)(2) and 1.704 -2(d)) such that a distribution of an amount of cash equal to such Capital Account balances in accordance with such Capital Account balances would be in the amounts, sequence and priority set forth in Article 4; provided, however, that the General Partner may allocate Operating Profit and Operating Loss and items thereof in such other manner as it determines in its sole and absolute discretion to be appropriate to reflect the Partners’ interests in the Partnership, including with respect to Operating Profit that relates to a particular Fund Investment, is borne by the Limited Partners. Income, gains and loss associated with a Book-Tax Difference shall be allocated to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a share of such Book-Tax Difference consistent with the account maintained by the General Partner pursuant to the definition of “Book-Tax Difference” and in the manner in which cash or property associated with such Book-Tax Difference is required to be distributed pursuant to the proviso of Section 4.1(a).
(b)    To the extent that the allocations of Operating Loss contemplated by (a) would cause the Capital Account of any Limited Partner to be less than zero, such Operating Loss shall to that extent instead be allocated to and debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner (or, at the direction of the General Partner, to those Limited Partners who are limited partners of the General Partner in proportion to their limited partner interests in the General Partner). Following any such adjustment pursuant to this (b) with respect to any Limited Partner, any Operating Profit for any subsequent Fiscal Year which would otherwise be credited to the Capital Account of such Limited Partner pursuant to (a) shall instead be credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) until the cumulative amounts so credited to the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to (b) is equal to the cumulative amount debited against the Capital Account of the General Partner (or relevant Limited Partners) with respect to such Limited Partner pursuant to (b).
(c)    Each Limited Partner’s rights and entitlements as a Limited Partner are limited to the rights to receive allocations and distributions of Operating Profit expressly conferred by this Agreement and any Other Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) and the other rights expressly conferred by this Agreement and any such Other Agreement or required by the Partnership Law, and a Limited Partner shall not be entitled to any other allocations, distributions or payments in respect of his interest, or to have or exercise any other rights, privileges or powers.
(d)    For purposes of (a), the General Partner may determine, in its sole and absolute discretion, to allocate any increase in value of the Partnership’s assets pursuant to the definition of “Carrying Value” solely to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a Catch Up
18


Amount (pro rata based on any method the General Partner determines is reasonable), or to specially allocate Operating Profit to such Limited Partners, or a combination thereof, until such Limited Partners have received an allocation equal to the Catch Up Amount.
(e)    Operating Profit and Operating Loss shall be determined on a daily, monthly or other basis, as reasonably approved by the General Partner using any permissible method under Section 706 and the Treasury Regulations thereunder. If any Limited Partner shall be admitted to the Partnership, retire from the Partnership or assigned additional Points at different times during the Partnership’s Fiscal Year, Operating Profit or Operating Loss shall be allocated among the Limited Partners on such proper basis as the General Partner shall determine consistent with the applicable requirements under Section 706 of the Code.
Section 3.5    Tax Allocations
(a)    For United States federal, state and local income tax purposes, Partnership income, gain, loss, deduction or credit (or any item thereof) for each Fiscal Year shall be allocated to and among the Partners in order to reflect the allocations of Operating Profit and Operating Loss pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.4 for such Fiscal Year; provided that any taxable income or loss associated with any Book-Tax Difference shall be allocated for tax purposes in accordance with the principles of Section 704(c) of the Code in any such manner (as is permitted under that Code Section and the Treasury Regulations promulgated thereunder) as determined by the General Partner in its sole and absolute discretion.
(b)    If any Partner or Partners are treated for United States federal income tax purposes as realizing ordinary income because of receiving interests in the Partnership (whether under Section 83 of the Code or under any similar provision of any law, rule or regulation) and the Partnership is entitled to any offsetting deduction (net of any income realized by the Partnership as a result of such receipt), the Partnership’s net deduction shall be allocated to and among the Partners in such manner as to offset, as nearly as possible, the ordinary income realized by such Partner or Partners.
Section 3.6    Tax Treatment of Interests in the Partnership
(a)    The Partnership and each Partner agree to treat the Interests as a “Profits Interest” with respect to the Partnership within the meaning of Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343. In accordance with Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, the Partnership shall treat a Partner holding an Interest as the owner of such Interest from the date such Interest was issued, and shall file its IRS form 1065, and issue appropriate Schedule K-1s to such Partner, allocating to such Partner its distributive share of all items of income, gain, loss, deduction and credit associated with such Interest as if it were fully vested. Each such Partner agrees to take into account such distributive share in computing its United States federal income tax liability for the entire period during which it holds the Interest. Except as required pursuant to a “Determination” as defined in Section 1313(a) of the Code, none of the Partnership or any Partner shall claim a deduction (as wages, compensation or otherwise) for the fair market value of such Interest issued to a Partner in respect of the Partnership, either at the time of grant of the Interest, or at the time the Points assigned to the holder of the Interest become substantially vested. The undertakings contained in this Section 3.6 shall be construed in accordance with Section 4 of Rev. Proc.
19


2001-43. The provisions of this Section 3.6 shall apply regardless of whether or not the holder of an Interest files an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code. This Section 3.6 shall apply only to an Interest granted while Rev. Proc. 93-27, 1993-2 C.B. 343 and Rev. Proc. 2001-43, 2001-2 C.B. 191, remain in effect.
(b)    The Partners agree that, in the event the Safe Harbor Regulation is finalized, the Partnership shall be authorized and directed to make the Safe Harbor Election, and the Partnership and each Partner (including any Person to whom an interest in the Partnership is transferred in connection with the performance of services) agrees to comply with all requirements of the Safe Harbor with respect to all interests in the Partnership transferred in connection with the performance of services while the Safe Harbor Election remains effective. The General Partner shall be authorized to (and shall) prepare, execute, and file the Safe Harbor Election. The General Partner shall cause the Partnership to make any allocations of items of income, gain, loss, deduction or expense (including forfeiture allocations) necessary or appropriate to effectuate and maintain the Safe Harbor Election.
Section 3.7    AEOI
(a)    Each Limited Partner:
(i)    shall provide, in a timely manner, such information regarding the Limited Partner and its beneficial owners and such forms or documentation as may be requested from time to time by the General Partner or the Partnership to enable the Partnership to comply with the requirements and obligations imposed on it pursuant to AEOI;
(ii)    acknowledges that any such forms or documentation requested by the Partnership or its agents pursuant to clause (i), or any financial or account information with respect to the Limited Partner’s investment in the Partnership, may be disclosed to any Governmental Authority which collects information in accordance with AEOI and to any withholding agent where the provision of that information is required by such agent to avoid the application of any withholding tax on any payments to the Partnership (including the Cayman Islands Tax Information Authority and any other Cayman Islands Governmental Authority);
(iii)    shall waive, and/or shall cooperate with the Partnership to obtain a waiver of, the provisions of any law which prohibits the disclosure by the Partnership, or by any of its agents, of the information or documentation requested from the Limited Partner pursuant to clause (i), prohibits the reporting of financial or account information by the Partnership or its agents required pursuant to AEOI or otherwise prevents compliance by the Partnership with its obligations under AEOI;
(iv)    acknowledges that, if it provides information and documentation that is in anyway misleading, or it fails to provide the Partnership or its agents with the requested information and documentation necessary, in either case, to satisfy the Partnership’s obligations under AEOI, the Partnership may (whether or not such action or inaction leads to compliance failures by the Partnership, or a risk of the
20


Partnership or its investors being subject to withholding tax or other penalties under AEOI) take any action and/or pursue all remedies at its disposal, including compulsory withdrawal of the Limited Partner, and may hold back from any withdrawal proceeds, or deduct from the Limited Partner’s Capital Account, any liabilities, costs, expenses or taxes caused (directly or indirectly) by the Limited Partner’s action or inaction; and
(v)    shall have no claim against the Partnership, or its agents, for any form of damages or liability as a result of actions taken or remedies pursued by or on behalf of the Partnership in order to comply with AEOI.
(b)    The Limited Partner hereby indemnifies the General Partner and the Partnership and each of their respective partners, members, managers, officers, directors, employees and agents (each an “AEOI Covered Person”, and collectively the “AEOI Covered Persons”) and holds them harmless from and against any AEOI-related liability, action, proceeding, claim, demand, costs, damages, expenses (including legal expenses), penalties or taxes whatsoever which such AEOI Covered Person may incur as a result of any action or inaction (directly or indirectly) of such Limited Partner (or any Related Party) described in (a)(i) through (iv). This indemnification shall survive the AEOI Covered Person’s death or disposition of its interests in the Partnership.
Section 3.8    Reserves; Adjustments for Certain Future Events
Appropriate reserves may be created, accrued and charged against the Operating Profit or Operating Loss for contingent liabilities, if any, as of the date any such contingent liability becomes known to the General Partner or as of each other date as the General Partner deems appropriate, such reserves to be in the amounts which the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate (whether or not in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles). The General Partner may increase or reduce any such reserve from time to time by such amounts as the General Partner deems necessary or appropriate. The amount of any such reserve, or any increase or decrease therein, shall be proportionately charged or credited, as appropriate, to the Capital Accounts of those Persons who are Partners at the time when such reserve is created, increased or decreased, as the case may be, in proportion to their respective Points at such time; provided that the amount of such reserve, increase or decrease may instead be charged or credited to those Persons who were Partners at the time, as determined by the General Partner, of the act or omission giving rise to the contingent liability for which the reserve item was established in proportion to their respective Points at that time. The amount of any such reserve charged against the Capital Account of a Partner shall reduce the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof; and the amount of any such reserve credited to the Capital Account of a Partner shall increase the distributions such Partner would otherwise be entitled to under Section 4.1 or Section 8.1 hereof.
Section 3.9    Finality and Binding Effect of General Partner’s Determinations
All matters concerning the determination, valuation and allocation among the Partners with respect to any profit or loss of the Partnership and any associated items of income, gain, deduction, loss and credit, pursuant to any provision of this Article 3, including any
21


accounting procedures applicable thereto, shall be determined by the General Partner unless specifically and expressly otherwise provided for by the provisions of this Agreement, and such determinations and allocations shall be final and binding on all the Partners.
ARTICLE 4
DISTRIBUTIONS
Section 4.1    Distributions
(a)    The General Partner shall use reasonable efforts to cause the Partnership to distribute, as promptly as reasonably practicable after receipt by the Partnership (not more frequently than quarterly), any available cash or property attributable to items included in the determination of Operating Profit and Book-Tax Difference, subject to the provisions of the applicable Fund LP Agreements and the retention of such reserves as the General Partner considers appropriate for purposes of the prudent and efficient financial operation of the Partnership’s business including in accordance with Section 3.8. Any such distributions shall be made to the Limited Partners separately with respect to the Interests held by the applicable Limited Partners in the particular Class or tranche of Interests to which such distributions relate in proportion to the respective Points of such Limited Partners with respect to such Class or tranche of Interests, determined (i) in the case of any amount of cash or property received from any of the applicable Fund General Partners that is attributable to the disposition of a Portfolio Investment by the applicable Fund, as of the date of such disposition by such Fund, and (ii) in any other case, as of the date of receipt of such cash or property by the Partnership, in each case, as determined by the General Partner; provided, however, that any cash or other property that the General Partner determines is attributable to a Book-Tax Difference shall be distributed to the Limited Partners that are entitled to a share of such Book-Tax Difference pursuant to the definition of “Book-Tax Difference,” with any such distribution to be in the proportion that each such Limited Partner’s allocated share of the applicable Book-Tax Difference bears to the total Book-Tax Difference of the asset giving rise to the cash or property.
(b)    Distributions of amounts attributable to Operating Profit and Book-Tax Difference shall be made in cash; provided, however, that if the Partnership receives a distribution from a Fund General Partner in the form of property other than cash, the General Partner may distribute such property in kind to Partners in proportion to their respective Points pertaining to the Class or tranche of Interests to which such distributions relate.
(c)    Any distributions or payments in respect of the interests of Limited Partners unrelated to Operating Profit or Book-Tax Difference shall be made at such time, in such manner and to such Limited Partners as the General Partner shall determine.
(d)    (i) Except as the General Partner otherwise may determine, any Limited Partner whose admission to the Partnership causes an adjustment to Carrying Values pursuant to the definition of “Carrying Value” (a “Newly Admitted Limited Partner”) shall have the right to receive a special distribution of the Catch Up Amount. Any such special distribution of the Catch Up Amount shall be in addition to the distributions to which the Newly Admitted Limited Partner is entitled pursuant to (a) and shall be made to the Newly Admitted Limited Partner (or, if there is more than one such Newly Admitted Limited Partner, pro rata to all such
22


Newly Admitted Limited Partners based on the aggregate amount of such distributions each such Newly Admitted Limited Partner has not yet received), after the distribution of any amounts attributable to Book-Tax Differences pursuant to the proviso of (a), from amounts otherwise distributable to the other Limited Partners from whom or from which the Points allocated to such Newly Admitted Limited Partner(s) were reallocated, and shall reduce the amounts distributable to such other Limited Partners pursuant to (a), until each applicable Newly Admitted Limited Partner has received an amount equal to the applicable Catch Up Amount. Any such Catch Up Amount shall be determined by the General Partner, and the General Partner may determine any such Catch Up Amount separately with respect to any Class or tranche of Interests, in each case, in its sole and absolute discretion.
(ii)    The General Partner may determine to provide for a special distribution of a Catch Up Amount in connection with a reallocation of Points pursuant to Article 7 other than in connection with the admission to the Partnership of a Newly Admitted Limited Partner if the General Partner reasonably believes such an adjustment to Carrying Values is required in order for the Interest, as affected by the reallocation of Points, to continue to be treated as profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
(iii)    Any reallocation of Points pursuant to Article 7 shall include the right to receive any Catch Up Amount associated with such Points.
(e)    Cash or property that the General Partner determines is associated with Operating Profit that has been specially allocated to a Limited Partner shall be distributed to such Limited Partner. The General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, shall make such determinations regarding distributions of cash and property that it determines are associated with such special allocations as are necessary to ensure that the manner in which distributions are made is consistent with the purpose, and benefits and burdens, of such special allocations.
(f)    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the General Partner determines, in its sole and absolute discretion, that all or a portion of the cash or property received by the Partnership from a FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle constitutes cash or property which the Partnership (or such FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) is not entitled to receive pursuant to the governing documents of the applicable Fund General Partner or otherwise, then the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, cause the Partnership (or cause the general partner of such FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle to cause such FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) to return such cash or property to such Fund General Partner, or otherwise make such adjustments as it deems necessary or advisable such that the Partnership (or such FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicle) shall not receive the economic benefits associated with the receipt of such cash or property.
Section 4.2    Withholding of Certain Amounts
(a)    If the Partnership incurs a withholding or other tax obligation (a “Tax Obligation”) with respect to the share of Partnership income allocable to any Partner (including pursuant to section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules or Section 1446(f) of the Code), then the General Partner, without limitation of any other rights of the Partnership, may cause the amount of such Tax Obligation to be debited against the Capital Account of such Partner when
23


the Partnership pays such Tax Obligation, and any amounts then or thereafter distributable to such Partner shall be reduced by the amount of such taxes. If the amount of such taxes is greater than any such then distributable amounts, then such Partner and any successor to such Partner’s interest shall indemnify and hold harmless the Partnership and the General Partner against, and shall pay to the Partnership as a contribution to the capital of the Partnership, upon demand of the General Partner, the amount of such excess.
(b)    If a Tax Obligation is required to be paid by the Partnership (including with respect to a tax liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules or Section 1446(f) of the Code) and the General Partner determines that such amount is allocable to the interest in the Partnership of a Person that is at such time a Partner, such Tax Obligation shall be treated as being made on behalf of or with respect to such Partner for purposes of this (b) whether or not the tax in question applies to a taxable period of the Partnership during which such Partner held an interest in the Partnership. To the extent that any liability with respect to a Tax Obligation (including a liability imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules) relates to a former Partner that has withdrawn (including compulsorily pursuant to Section 3.7), sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged, or otherwise transferred all or a part of its interest in the Partnership, such former Partner (which in the case of a partial withdrawal, sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge or other transfer shall include a continuing Partner with respect to the portion of its interests in the Partnership so withdrawn, sold, assigned, pledged, mortgaged, charged or transferred) shall indemnify the Partnership for its allocable portion of such liability, unless otherwise agreed to by the General Partner in writing. Each Partner acknowledges that, notwithstanding the sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer of all or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, it may remain liable, pursuant to this (b), for tax liabilities with respect to its allocable share of income and gain of the Partnership for the Partnership’s taxable years (or portions thereof) prior to such sale, assignment, pledge, mortgage, charge, or other transfer, as applicable (including any such liabilities imposed under section 6225 of the BBA Audit Rules or Section 1446(f) of the Code).
(c)    The General Partner may (i) withhold from any distribution to any Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement and (ii) arrange the withholding from any distribution from any Co-Investors (A) Entity to such Limited Partner any other amounts due from such Limited Partner or a Related Party (without duplication) to the Partnership, any Co-Investors (A) Entity or to any other Affiliate of AGM pursuant to any binding agreement or published policy to the extent not otherwise paid. Any amounts so withheld shall be applied by the General Partner to discharge the obligation in respect of which such amounts were withheld.
Section 4.3    Limitation on Distributions
Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Partnership, and the General Partner on behalf of the Partnership, shall not make a distribution to any Partner on account of his interest in the Partnership if such distribution would violate the Partnership Law or other applicable law.
Section 4.4    Distributions in Excess of Basis
Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the General Partner may refrain from making, at any time prior to the dissolution of the Partnership, all or any
24


portion of any cash distribution that otherwise would be made to a Partner or Retired Partner, if such distribution would exceed such Person’s United States federal income tax basis in the Partnership. Any amount that is not distributed to a Partner or Retired Partner due to the preceding sentence, as determined by the General Partner, either shall be retained by the Partnership on such Person’s behalf or loaned to such Person. Subject to the first sentence of this Section 4.4, 100% of any or all subsequent cash distributions shall be distributed to such Person (or, if there is more than one such Person, pro rata to all such Persons based on the aggregate amount of distributions each such Person has not yet received) until each such Person has received the same aggregate amount of distributions such Person would have received had distributions to such Person not been deferred pursuant to this Section 4.4. If any amount is loaned to a Partner or Retired Partner pursuant to this Section 4.4, (a) any amount thereafter distributed to such Person shall be applied to repay the principal amount of such loan, and (b) interest, if any, accrued or received by the Partnership on such loan shall be allocated and distributed to such Person. Any such loan shall be repaid no later than immediately prior to the liquidation of the Partnership. Until such repayment, for purposes of any determination hereunder based on amounts distributed to a Person, the principal amount of such loan shall be treated as having been distributed to such Person.

The General Partner shall have the exclusive authority to make any elections required or permitted to be made by the Partnership under any provisions of the Code or any other law.
Section 5.2    Delegation of Duties
(a)    Subject to Section 5.1, the General Partner may delegate to any Person or Persons any of the duties, powers and authority vested in it hereunder on such terms and conditions as it may consider appropriate.
(b)    Without limiting the generality of (a), the General Partner shall have the power and authority to appoint any Person, including any Person who is a Limited Partner, to provide services to and act as an employee or agent of the Partnership and/or General Partner, with such titles and duties as may be specified by the General Partner. Any Person appointed by the General Partner to serve as an employee or agent of the Partnership shall be subject to removal at any time by the General Partner; and shall report to and consult with the General Partner at such times and in such manner as the General Partner may direct.
(c)    Any Person who is a Limited Partner and to whom the General Partner delegates any of its duties pursuant to this Section 5.1(c) or any other provision of this Agreement shall be subject to the same standard of care, and shall be entitled to the same rights of indemnification and exoneration, applicable to the General Partner under and pursuant to Section 5.7, unless such Person and the General Partner mutually agree to a different standard of care or right to indemnification and exoneration to which such Person shall be subject.
26


Section 5.3    Transactions with Affiliates
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, the General Partner (or any Affiliate of the General Partner), when acting on behalf of the Partnership, is hereby authorized to (a) purchase property from, sell property to, lend money to or otherwise deal with any Affiliates, any Limited Partner, the Partnership, any of the Fund General Partners or Funds or any Affiliate of any of the foregoing Persons, and (b) obtain services from any Affiliates, any Limited Partner, the Partnership, any of the Fund General Partners or Funds or any Affiliate of the foregoing Persons.
Section 5.4    Expenses
(a)    The Partnership shall bear all ordinary course costs and expenses arising in connection with the organization and operations of the Partnership; provided, that the General Partner may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allocate certain costs or expenses to a particular Class or tranche of Interests, in which case only the Limited Partners holding Interests in respect of such Class or tranche shall bear such costs or expenses.
(b)    Any withholding taxes payable by the Partnership, to the extent determined by the General Partner to have been paid or withheld on behalf of, or by reason of particular circumstances applicable to, one or more but fewer than all of the Partners, shall be allocated among and debited against the Capital Accounts of only those Partners on whose behalf such payments are made or whose particular circumstances gave rise to such payments in accordance with Section 4.2.

27


Section 5.6    Other Activities of General Partner
Nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit the General Partner from engaging in any activity other than acting as General Partner hereunder.
Section 5.7    Duty of Care; Indemnification
(a)    The General Partner (including for this purpose each former and present director, officer, stockholder, partner, member, manager or employee of the General Partner), the Partnership Representative, and each Limited Partner (including any former Limited Partner) in his capacity as such, and to the extent such Limited Partner participates, directly or indirectly, in the Partnership’s activities, whether or not a Retired Partner (each, a “Covered Person” and collectively, the “Covered Persons”), shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any of the other Partners for any loss, claim, damage, liability or expenses (including attorneys’ fees, judgments, fines, penalties and amounts paid in settlement (collectively, “Losses”) occasioned by any acts or omissions in the performance of his services hereunder, unless it shall ultimately be determined by final judicial decision from which there is no further right to appeal (a “Final Adjudication”) that such Losses are due to an act or omission of a Covered Person (i) made in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) that adversely affected any Fund and that failed to satisfy the duty of care owed pursuant to the applicable Fund LP Agreement or as otherwise required by law.
(b)    A Covered Person shall be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law by the Partnership against any Losses incurred by or imposed upon him by reason of or in connection with any action taken or omitted by such Covered Person arising out of the Covered Person’s status as a Partner or his activities on behalf of the Partnership, including in connection with any action, suit, investigation or proceeding before any Governmental Authority to which it may be made a party or otherwise involved or with which it shall be threatened by reason of being or having been the General Partner, the Partnership Representative, or a Limited Partner or by reason of serving or having served, at the request of any Fund General Partner, as a director, officer, consultant, advisor, manager, stockholder, member or partner of any enterprise in which any of the Funds has or had a financial interest, including issuers of Portfolio Investments; provided that the Partnership may, but shall not be required to, indemnify a Covered Person with respect to any matter as to which there has been a Final Adjudication that his acts or his failure to act (i) were in bad faith or with criminal intent or (ii) were of a nature that makes indemnification by the Funds unavailable. The right to indemnification granted by this Section 5.7 shall be in addition to any rights to which a Covered Person may otherwise be entitled and shall inure to the benefit of the successors by operation of law or valid assigns of such Covered Person. The Partnership shall pay the expenses incurred by a Covered Person in defending a civil or criminal action, suit, investigation or proceeding in advance of the Final Adjudication of such action, suit, investigation or proceeding, upon receipt of an undertaking by the Covered Person to repay such payment if there shall be a Final Adjudication that he is not entitled to indemnification as provided herein. In any suit brought by the Covered Person to enforce a right to indemnification hereunder it shall be a defense that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7, and in any suit in the name of the Partnership to recover expenses advanced pursuant to the terms of an undertaking the Partnership shall be entitled to recover such expenses upon Final

Adjudication that the Covered Person has not met the applicable standard of conduct set forth in this Section 5.7. In any such suit brought to enforce a right to indemnification or to recover an advancement of expenses pursuant to the terms of an undertaking, the burden of proving that the Covered Person is not entitled to be indemnified, or to an advancement of expenses, shall be on the Partnership (or any Limited Partner acting derivatively or otherwise on behalf of the Partnership or the Limited Partners). The General Partner may not satisfy any right of indemnity or reimbursement granted in this Section 5.7 or to which it may be otherwise entitled except out of the assets of the Partnership (including insurance proceeds and rights pursuant to indemnification agreements), and no Partner shall be personally liable with respect to any such claim for indemnity or reimbursement. The General Partner may enter into appropriate indemnification agreements and/or arrangements reflective of the provisions of this Article 5 and obtain appropriate insurance coverage on behalf and at the expense of the Partnership to secure the Partnership’s indemnification obligations hereunder.
(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, to the extent that, at law or in equity, a Covered Person has duties (including fiduciary duties) and liabilities relating thereto to the Partnership or the Partners, the Covered Person shall not be liable to the Partnership or to any Partner for his good faith reliance on the provisions of this Agreement. The provisions of this Agreement, to the extent that they restrict or eliminate the duties and liabilities of a Covered Person otherwise existing at law or in equity to the Partnership or the Partners, are agreed by the Partners to replace such other duties and liabilities of each such Covered Person.
(d)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.7, the Partnership may but shall not be required to indemnify (i) a Retired Partner (or any other former Limited Partner) with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses arising from any conduct occurring more than six months after the date of such Person’s retirement (or other withdrawal or departure), or (ii) a Limited Partner with respect to any claim for indemnification or advancement of expenses as a director, officer or agent of the issuer of any Portfolio Investment to the extent arising from conduct in such capacity occurring more than six months after the complete disposition of such Portfolio Investment by the applicable Fund.
ARTICLE 6
ADMISSIONS, TRANSFERS AND WITHDRAWALS
Section 6.1    Admission of Additional Limited Partners; Effect on Points
(a)    The General Partner may at any time admit as an additional Limited Partner any Person who has agreed to adhere to and be bound by this Agreement and may assign Points to such Person and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner, in each case, subject to and in accordance with Section 7.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, an assignment of Points to a Limited Partner in one year shall not create an entitlement to, or an expectation of, an assignment or allocation of additional Points to such Limited Partner at any subsequent time.
(b)    Each additional Limited Partner shall execute either a counterpart to this Agreement or a separate instrument evidencing, to the satisfaction of the General Partner,
29


such Limited Partner’s intent to become a Limited Partner and to adhere to and be bound by this Agreement, and shall be admitted as a Limited Partner upon such execution.
Section 6.2    Admission of Additional General Partner
The General Partner may admit one or more additional general partners at any time without the consent of any Limited Partner. Any additional general partner shall be admitted as a general partner upon its execution of a counterpart signature page to this Agreement, or such other instrument satisfactory to the General Partner pursuant to which such Person undertakes and agrees to become a General Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a General Partner.
Section 6.3    Transfer of Interests of Limited Partners
(a)    No voluntary Transfer of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be valid or effective, and no transferee shall become a substituted Limited Partner. In the event of any involuntary Transfer, all of the conditions of the remainder of this Section 6.3 must be satisfied. Any interest in the Partnership that is the subject of a Transfer that does not satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.3 shall be immediately forfeited for no consideration.
(b)    A Limited Partner or his legal representative shall give the General Partner notice within 30 days after any involuntary Transfer, and shall provide sufficient information to allow legal counsel acting for the Partnership to make the determination that the proposed Transfer will not result in any of the following consequences:
(i)    require registration of the Partnership or any interest therein under any securities or commodities laws of any jurisdiction;
(ii)    jeopardize the status of the Partnership as a partnership for United States federal income tax purposes; or
(iii)    violate, or cause the Partnership, the General Partner or any Limited Partner to violate, any applicable law, rule or regulation of any jurisdiction.
Such notice must be supported by proof of legal authority and a valid instrument of assignment acceptable to the General Partner and such Transfer shall be subject to approval by the General Partner.
(c)    If any Transfer shall result in multiple ownership of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership, the General Partner may require one or more trustees or nominees whose names will be entered in the Register of Partners, to be designated to hold the legal title to the interest and to represent the entire interest transferred for the purpose of receiving all notices which may be given and all payments which may be made under this Agreement, and for the purpose of exercising the rights which the transferees have pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. The Partnership shall not otherwise be required to recognize any trust or other beneficial ownership of any interest.
(d)    A transferee shall not be entitled to any rights of a Limited Partner other than to the allocations and distributions attributable to the economic interest in the Partnership transferred to such transferee. No transferee may become a substituted Limited
30


Partner except with the prior written consent of the General Partner (which consent may be given or withheld by the General Partner). Such transferee shall be admitted to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner upon compliance with the following additional conditions: (i) execution of a deed of adherence, in a form satisfactory to the General Partner, to this Agreement pursuant to which such transferee undertakes and agrees to become a Limited Partner of the Partnership and to adhere to and be bound by the provisions of this Agreement on admission as a Limited Partner and (ii) the transferee shall have withheld any amounts required to be withheld under Section 1446(f) of the Code and provided such forms, certifications or other documentation as may be requested by the General Partner to determine that the transferor and transferee have complied with Section 1446(f) of the Code and any similar provision of U.S. state, local or non-U.S. law. Notwithstanding the above, the Partnership and the General Partner shall incur no liability for allocations and distributions made in good faith to the transferring Limited Partner until a written instrument of Transfer has been received and accepted by the Partnership and recorded on its books and the effective date of the Transfer has passed.
(e)    Any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any successor or transferee of any Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership shall be bound by the provisions hereof. Prior to recognizing any Transfer in accordance with this Section 6.3, the General Partner may require the transferee to make certain representations and warranties to the Partnership and Partners and to accept, adopt and approve in writing all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.
(f)    In the event of a Transfer or in the event of a distribution of assets of the Partnership to any Partner, the Partnership, at the direction of the General Partner, may, but shall not be required to, file an election under Section 754 of the Code and in accordance with the applicable Treasury Regulations, to cause the basis of the Partnership’s assets to be adjusted as provided by Section 734 or 743 of the Code.
(g)    The Partnership shall maintain books for the purpose of registering the Transfer of partnership interests in the Partnership. No Transfer of a partnership interest shall be effective until the Transfer of the partnership interest is registered by the General Partner on the Register of Partners.
(h)    Any Limited Partner which shall Transfer all of its interest in the Partnership shall cease to be a Limited Partner; provided that such Limited Partner shall remain liable to the Partnership as contemplated by Section 4.2(b) and shall, if requested by the General Partner, expressly acknowledge such liability in such agreements as may be entered into by such Limited Partner in connection with such Transfer.
Section 6.4    Withdrawal of Partners
A Partner in the Partnership may not voluntarily withdraw from the Partnership prior to its dissolution unless so required by the General Partner pursuant to Section 7.2(a)(i)(B). For the avoidance of doubt, any Limited Partner who transfers to a Related Party such Limited Partner’s entire remaining entitlement to allocations and distributions shall remain a Limited Partner, notwithstanding the admission of the transferee Related Party as a Limited Partner, for as long as the transferee Related Party remains a Limited Partner.
31


Section 6.5    Pledges or Charges
A Limited Partner shall not pledge, charge or grant a security interest in such Limited Partner’s interest in the Partnership.
ARTICLE 7
ALLOCATION OF POINTS; ADJUSTMENTS OF POINTS
AND RETIREMENT OF PARTNERS
Section 7.1    Allocation of Points
(a)    Except as otherwise provided herein, the General Partner shall be responsible for the allocation of Points from time to time to the Limited Partners. The General Partner may allocate Points to a new Limited Partner and/or increase the Points of any existing Limited Partner at any time; provided that (i) if the General Partner or its designee determines that a Limited Partner has engaged in Bad Acts or violated any of his restrictive covenants in favor of AGM or any of its Affiliates, such Limited Partner’s Points shall be forfeited as of the date of such engagement or violation determined by the General Partner, and (ii) the allocation or reallocation of Points will be on such terms as are consistent with the treatment of the Points as profits interests for U.S. federal income tax purposes. For the avoidance of doubt, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Points issued in respect of a particular Class or tranche of Interests shall constitute a “single” pool and entitle the holders hereof to share in all of the Operating Profit and Operating Loss of the Partnership attributable to such Class or tranche of Interests, howsoever derived, on the terms and conditions set forth herein. As of the date hereof, two thousand (2,000) Points are reserved for allocation and such number of aggregate Points so reserved shall not be increased or reduced unless otherwise determined by the General Partner.
(b)    Unless otherwise agreed by the General Partner, as a condition to the continued holding by a Limited Partner of any Points, concurrently with the Partnership’s becoming a partner or member of any Fund General Partner after the date hereof, each such Limited Partner shall execute and deliver to the General Partner (or, to the extent provided in an Award Letter or Other Agreement, by filing an election under section 83(b) of the Code, consent to a power of attorney authorizing the General Partner to execute on the Limited Partner’s behalf) the following documents, in form and substance satisfactory to the General Partner: (A) a guarantee or guarantees, for the benefit of such Fund’s investors, of such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of the Partnership’s obligation to make Clawback Payments, and/or (B) an undertaking to reimburse any Affiliate of AGM for any payment made by it that is attributable to such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share of any Clawback Payment; it being understood that any of the documents contemplated by the foregoing clauses (A) and (B) may authorize the General Partner or its Affiliate to set-off any such Clawback Payment against distributions otherwise payable to such Limited Partner in respect of its Interests in the Partnership or any other Fund with respect to which such Limited Partner has a direct or indirect interest in the Carried Interest Revenues with respect to such Fund.
(c)    Any change to a Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Agreement or such Limited Partner’s Award Letter shall apply on a prospective basis only, from and after the effective date of such change.
32


(d)    The General Partner shall maintain on the books and records of the Partnership a record of the number of Points allocated to each Partner and shall give notice to each Limited Partner of the number of such Limited Partner’s Points upon admission to the Partnership of such Limited Partner and promptly upon any change in such Limited Partner’s Points pursuant to this Article 7 and such notice shall include the calculations used by the General Partner to determine the amount of any such reduction.
(e)    Any Points that are forfeited under this Agreement or a Limited Partner’s Award Letter may be reallocated by the General Partner, in its sole and absolute discretion, to APH or any other Person or Persons. Unless otherwise provided by the General Partner, forfeited Points shall be deemed reallocated to APH.
Section 7.2    Retirement of Partner
(a)    A Limited Partner shall become a Retired Partner upon:
(i)    delivery to such Limited Partner of a notice by the General Partner (A) terminating such Limited Partner’s employment by AGM or an Affiliate thereof, unless otherwise determined by the General Partner or (B) requiring that such Limited Partner withdraw from the Partnership;
(ii)    delivery by such Limited Partner of at least 90 days’ prior written notice to the General Partner, AGM or an Affiliate thereof stating that such Limited Partner elects to resign from or otherwise terminate his employment by or service to AGM or an Affiliate thereof; or
(iii)    the death of the Limited Partner, whereupon the estate of the deceased Limited Partner shall be treated as a Retired Partner in the place of the deceased Limited Partner, or the Disability of the Limited Partner.
(b)    Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate the General Partner to treat Retired Partners alike, and the exercise of any power or discretion by the General Partner in the case of any one such Retired Partner shall not create any obligation on the part of the General Partner to take any similar action in the case of any other such Retired Partner; it being understood that any power or discretion conferred upon the General Partner shall be treated as having been so conferred as to each such Retired Partner separately.
Section 7.3    Effect of Retirement on Points
(a)    The consequences of a Limited Partner’s retirement on his Points shall be set forth in such Limited Partner’s Award Letter(s).
(b)    The right of any Retired Partner to receive distributions pursuant to this Agreement or such Retired Partner’s Award Letter(s) shall be subject to the provision by the General Partner for all liabilities of the Partnership and for reserves for contingencies.
33


ARTICLE 8
WINDING UP AND DISSOLUTION
Section 8.1    Winding Up and Dissolution of Partnership
(a)    The General Partner, except, where the General Partner is unable to perform this function, a liquidator elected by a majority in interest (determined by Points) of Limited Partners, shall commence the winding-up of the Partnership pursuant to the Partnership Law upon the occurrence of any Winding-Up Event. The General Partner or appointed liquidator shall terminate the business and administrative affairs of the Partnership and commence the liquidation of the Partnership’s assets.
(b)    Operating Profit and Operating Loss during the Fiscal Years that include the period of liquidation shall be allocated pursuant to Section 3.4. The proceeds from liquidation shall be distributed in the following manner:
(i)    first, the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Partnership, including the expenses of liquidation (including legal and accounting expenses incurred in connection therewith), up to and including the date that distribution of the Partnership’s assets to the Partners has been completed, shall be satisfied (whether by payment or by making reasonable provision for payment thereof); and (ii) thereafter, the Partners shall be paid amounts in accordance with Article  4.
(c)    Anything in this Section 8.1 to the contrary notwithstanding, the General Partner or liquidator may distribute ratably in kind rather than in cash, upon the winding-up of the Partnership, any assets of the Partnership in accordance with the priorities set forth in (b); provided that if any in kind distribution is to be made, the assets distributed in kind shall be valued as of the actual date of their distribution and charged as so valued and distributed against amounts to be paid under (b).
(d)    Upon completion of the winding-up of the Partnership in accordance with the terms hereof, the Partnership shall be dissolved by the filing of a notice of dissolution in accordance with the provisions of the Partnership Law.
ARTICLE 9
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 9.1    Amendment of Partnership Agreement and Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreements
(a)    The General Partner may amend this Agreement (including the Schedules hereto) at any time, in whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner by giving notice of such amendment to any Limited Partner whose rights or obligations as a Limited Partner pursuant to this Agreement are changed thereby; provided that any amendment that (x) increases a Limited Partner’s obligation to contribute to the capital of the Partnership, or (y) increases such Limited Partner’s Clawback Share shall not be effective with respect to such Limited Partner, unless such Limited Partner consents thereto in advance in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the General Partner may amend this Agreement at any time, in
34


whole or in part, without the consent of any Limited Partner to enable the Partnership to (i) comply with the requirements of the “Safe Harbor” Election within the meaning of the Proposed Revenue Procedure of Notice 2005-43, 2005-24 IRB 1, Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.83-3(e)(1) or Proposed Treasury Regulation Section 1.704-1(b)(4)(xii) at such time as such proposed Procedure and Regulations are effective and to make any such other related changes as may be required by pronouncements or Treasury Regulations issued by the Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department after the date of this Agreement, (ii) enable, when applicable, the Partnership (or the Partnership Representative) to comply with the BBA Audit Rules or to make any elections or take any other actions available thereunder, and (iii) comply with applicable law; provided that, unless otherwise provided in a Limited Partner’s Award Letter, any amendment pursuant to clause (i) that would cause a Limited Partner’s rights to allocations and distributions to suffer a material adverse change may be made only if the written consent of such Limited Partner is obtained prior to the effectiveness thereof. For the avoidance of doubt, an adjustment of Points shall not be considered an amendment.
(b)    Notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement, including (a), it is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the General Partner on its own behalf or on behalf of the Partnership without the approval of any Limited Partner or any other Person may enter into one or more side letters or similar agreements (“Other Agreements”) with one or more Limited Partners which have the effect of establishing rights under, or altering or supplementing the terms of this Agreement. The parties hereto agree that any terms contained in an Other Agreement with one or more Limited Partners shall govern with respect to such Limited Partner or Limited Partners notwithstanding the provisions of this Agreement. Any Other Agreements shall be binding upon the Partnership or the General Partner, as applicable, and the signatories thereto as if the terms were contained in this Agreement, but no such Other Agreement between the General Partner and any Limited Partner or Limited Partners and the Partnership shall adversely amend the contractual rights or obligations of any other Limited Partner without such other Limited Partner’s prior consent.
(c)    The provisions of this Agreement that affect the terms of any Co-Investors (A) Partnership Agreement applicable to Limited Partners constitute a “side letter or similar agreement” between each Limited Partner and the general partner of the applicable Co-Investors (A) Entity, which has executed this Agreement exclusively for purposes of confirming the foregoing.
Section 9.2    Special Power-of-Attorney
(a)    Each Partner hereby irrevocably makes, constitutes and appoints the General Partner with full power of substitution, the true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, and in the name, place and stead of such Partner, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish:
(i)    any amendment to this Agreement which complies with the provisions of this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.1);
(ii)    all such other instruments, documents and certificates which, in the opinion of legal counsel to the Partnership, may from time to time be
35


required by the laws of the Cayman Islands, or any other jurisdiction, or any political subdivision or agency thereof, or which such legal counsel may deem necessary or appropriate to effectuate, implement and continue the valid and subsisting existence and business of the Partnership as a limited partnership or partnership in which the limited partners thereof enjoy limited liability;
(iii)    any written notice or letter of resignation from any board seat or office of any Person (other than a company that has a class of equity securities registered under the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or that is registered under the United States Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended), which board seat or office was occupied or held at the request of the Partnership or any of its Affiliates; and
(iv)    all such proxies, consents, assignments and other documents as the General Partner determines to be necessary or advisable in connection with any merger or other reorganization, restructuring or other similar transaction entered into in accordance with this Agreement (including the provisions of Section 9.6(c)).
(b)    Each Limited Partner is aware that the terms of this Agreement permit certain amendments to this Agreement to be effected and certain other actions to be taken or omitted by or with respect to the Partnership without his consent. If an amendment to the Certificate or this Agreement or any action by or with respect to the Partnership is taken by the General Partner in the manner contemplated by this Agreement, each Limited Partner agrees that, notwithstanding any objection which such Limited Partner may assert with respect to such action, the General Partner is authorized and empowered, with full power of substitution, to exercise the authority granted above in any manner which may be necessary or appropriate to permit such amendment to be made or action lawfully taken or omitted. Each Partner is fully aware that each other Partner will rely on the effectiveness of this special power-of-attorney with a view to the orderly administration of the affairs of the Partnership. This power-of-attorney is intended to secure an interest in property and, in addition, the obligations of each Limited Partner under this Agreement, and as such:
(i)    shall be irrevocable and continue in full force and effect notwithstanding the subsequent death or incapacity of any party granting this power-of-attorney, regardless of whether the Partnership or the General Partner shall have had notice thereof; and
(ii)    shall survive any Transfer by a Limited Partner of the whole or any portion of its interest in the Partnership, except that, where the transferee thereof has been approved by the General Partner for admission to the Partnership as a substituted Limited Partner, this power-of-attorney given by the transferor shall survive such Transfer for the sole purpose of enabling the General Partner to execute, acknowledge and file any instrument necessary to effect such substitution.
Section 9.3    Notices
Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing. A notice to the General Partner shall be directed to the attention of Leon D. Black with a copy to the general counsel of the Partnership. A notice to a Limited Partner shall be directed to
36


such Limited Partner’s last known residence as set forth in the books and records of the Partnership or its Affiliates (a Limited Partner’s “Home Address”). A notice shall be considered given when delivered to the addressee either by hand at his Partnership office or electronically to the primary e-mail account supplied by the Partnership for Partnership business communications.
Section 9.4    Agreement Binding Upon Successors and Assigns
This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors by operation of law, but the rights and obligations of the Partners hereunder shall not be assignable, transferable or delegable except as expressly provided herein, and any attempted assignment, transfer or delegation thereof that is not made in accordance with such express provisions shall be void and unenforceable.
Section 9.5    Good Faith; Discretion
To the fullest extent permitted by law and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or in any agreement contemplated herein or applicable provisions of law or equity or otherwise, whenever in this Agreement the General Partner is permitted or required to make a decision (a) in its “sole and absolute discretion,” “sole discretion” or “discretion,” the General Partner shall be entitled to consider only such interests and factors as it desires, including its and its Affiliates’ own interests, and shall have no duty or obligation to give any consideration to any interest of or factors affecting the Partnership or any other Person, or (b) in its “good faith” or under another express standard, the General Partner shall act under such express standard and shall not be subject to any other or different standard.
Section 9.6    Merger, Consolidation, etc.
(a)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to (b) and (c), the Partnership may merge or consolidate with or into one or more limited partnerships formed under any applicable law or other business entities under any applicable law pursuant to an agreement of merger or consolidation which has been approved by the General Partner.
(b)    Subject to (c), but notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary contained elsewhere in this Agreement, an agreement of merger or consolidation approved in accordance with (a) and applicable law may, to the extent permitted by (a) and applicable law, (i) effect any amendment to this Agreement, (ii) effect the adoption of a new partnership agreement for the Partnership if it is the surviving or resulting limited partnership in the merger or consolidation, or (iii) provide that the partnership agreement of any other constituent limited partnership to the merger or consolidation (including a limited partnership formed for the purpose of consummating the merger or consolidation) shall be the partnership agreement of the surviving or resulting limited partnership.
(c)    To the fullest extent permitted by law, the General Partner shall have the power and authority to approve and implement any merger, consolidation or other reorganization, restructuring or similar transaction without the consent of any Limited Partner, other than any Limited Partner with respect to which the General Partner has determined that such transaction will, or will reasonably be likely to, result in any material adverse change in the financial and other material rights of such Limited Partner conferred by this Agreement and any
37


Other Agreement entered into pursuant to Section 9.1(b) or the imposition of any material new financial or other obligation on such Limited Partner. Subject to the foregoing, the General Partner may require one or more of the Limited Partners to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of their interests in the Partnership in connection with any such transaction, and each Limited Partner shall take such action as may be directed by the General Partner to effect any such transaction.
Section 9.7    Governing Law; Dispute Resolution
(a)    This Agreement, and the rights and obligations of each and all of the Partners hereunder, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Cayman Islands, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof that would give effect to the laws of another jurisdiction.
(b)    Subject to (c), any dispute, controversy, suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement, will be settled exclusively by arbitration, conducted before a single arbitrator in New York County, New York (applying Cayman Islands) in accordance with, and pursuant to, the applicable rules of JAMS (“JAMS”). The arbitration shall be conducted on a strictly confidential basis, and none of the parties shall disclose the existence of a claim, the nature of a claim, any documents, exhibits, or information exchanged or presented in connection with such a claim, or the result of any action, to any third party, except as required by law, with the sole exception of their legal counsel and parties engaged by that counsel to assist in the arbitration process, who also shall be bound by these confidentiality terms. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and binding upon the parties hereto. Any arbitral award may be entered as a judgment or order in any court of competent jurisdiction. Any party hereto may commence litigation in court to obtain injunctive relief in aid of arbitration, to compel arbitration, or to confirm or vacate an award, to the extent authorized by the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act or the New York Arbitration Act. The party that is determined by the arbitrator not to be the prevailing party will pay all of the JAMS’s administrative fees and the arbitrator’s fee and expenses. If neither party is so determined, such fees shall be shared. Each party shall be responsible for such party’s own attorneys’ fees. IF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE IS HELD INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE THEN, TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW THAT CANNOT BE WAIVED, EACH PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WAIVE AND COVENANT THAT THE PARTNER AND THE PARTNERSHIP WILL NOT ASSERT (WHETHER AS PLAINTIFF, DEFENDANT OR OTHERWISE) ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION ARISING IN WHOLE OR IN PART UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER NOW OR HEREAFTER ARISING, AND WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, AND AGREE THAT THE PARTNERSHIP OR ANY OF ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY PARTNER MAY FILE A COPY OF THIS SECTION WITH ANY COURT AS WRITTEN EVIDENCE OF THE KNOWING, VOLUNTARY AND BARGAINED-FOR AGREEMENT AMONG THE PARTNERSHIP AND ITS AFFILIATES, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PARTNER, ON THE OTHER HAND, IRREVOCABLY TO WAIVE THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY PROCEEDING WHATSOEVER BETWEEN SUCH PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT ANY PROCEEDING PROPERLY HEARD BY A COURT UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL
38


INSTEAD BE TRIED IN A COURT OF COMPETENT JURISDICTION BY A JUDGE SITTING WITHOUT A JURY.
(c)    Nothing in this Section 9.7 will prevent the General Partner or a Limited Partner from applying to a court for preliminary or interim relief or permanent injunction in a judicial proceeding (e.g., injunction or restraining order to enforce any restrictive covenants against a Limited Partner), in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedy to which it may be entitled at law or in equity, if such relief from a court is necessary to preserve the status quo pending resolution or to prevent serious and irreparable injury in connection with any breach or anticipated breach of covenants to which a Limited Partner is subject; provided, however, that all parties explicitly waive all rights to seek preliminary, interim, injunctive or other relief in a judicial proceeding and all parties submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the forum described in (b) hereto, for any dispute or claim concerning continuing entitlement to distributions or other payments, even if such dispute or claim involves or relates to any covenant to which a Limited Partner is subject. For the purposes of this (c), each party hereto consents to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the courts of the state and federal courts within the County of New York in the State of New York.
Section 9.8    Termination of Right of Action
Every right of action arising out of or in connection with this Agreement by or on behalf of any past, present or future Partner or the Partnership against any past, present or future Partner shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, irrespective of the place where the action may be brought and irrespective of the residence of any such Partner, cease and be barred by the expiration of three years from the date of the act or omission in respect of which such right of action arises.
Section 9.9    Third Party Rights
Any AEOI Covered Person or Covered Person not being a party to this Agreement may enforce any rights granted to it pursuant to this Agreement in its own right as if it were a party to this Agreement. Except as expressly provided above, a person who is not a party to this Agreement shall not have any rights under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Law (as amended) to enforce any term of the Agreement. Notwithstanding any term of this Agreement, the consent of or notice to any person who is not a party to this Agreement is not required for any termination, rescission, or agreement to any variation, waiver, assignment, novation, release or settlement unto this Agreement at any time.
Section 9.10    Reports
As soon as practicable after the end of each taxable year, the General Partner shall furnish to each Limited Partner (a) such information as may be required to enable each Limited Partner to properly report for United States federal and state income tax purposes his distributive share of each Partnership item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit for such year, and (b) a statement of the total amount of Operating Profit or Operating Loss for such year, including a copy of the United States Internal Revenue Service Schedule “K-1” issued by the Partnership to such Limited Partner, and a reconciliation of any difference between (i) such Operating Profit or
39

FIG Incentive Program Award Letter
[Date]
Dear [Name]:
Apollo Global Management, Inc. and its subsidiaries (together, “AGM”) have established Apollo FIG Carry Pool Aggregator, L.P. (the “Partnership”) as part of the FIG incentive program.
The purpose of the Partnership is to hold, through one or more intermediate pooling vehicles (the “FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicles”), indirect interests in certain Fund general partners, managing members, managers or other entities (“FIG Fund GPs”) in order to derive cash or other revenues therefrom that are attributable to carried interest, incentive allocations, performance allocations or similar performance-based compensation (collectively, “Carried Interest Revenues”) received by such FIG Fund GPs from Funds managed, sponsored or advised by AGM, and to distribute such amounts to the Partnership’s partners in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Partnership Agreement (such FIG Fund GPs, the “Partnership FIG Fund GPs”).
Other FIG Fund GPs are the source of Carried Interest Revenues in respect of which amounts are paid to participants outside the Partnership by subsidiaries of AGM (and, for employees, paid via payroll and subject to applicable withholding) (“Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs”). The FIG Intermediate Pooling Vehicles will generally not be admitted as partners or members of Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs.
We are pleased to have your participation in the FIG incentive program and to award you the right to receive amounts in respect of one or more Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs as set forth on Schedule I. This Award Letter confirms the award to you of a number of points representing the right to receive payments in respect of Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs (“Points”), with such amounts paid via payroll and subject to applicable withholding. Because your participation in the FIG incentive program is limited to Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs, you are not being admitted as a limited partner of the Partnership and hold no equity interests hereunder. Payments in respect of Points will be made by your employer, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. (“AMH”).
Payments in respect of your Points are payments of discretionary performance compensation additional to your base salary or drawings. The value of any Points, and the amount of any payments with respect thereto, will depend on numerous factors, including but not limited to relevant market conditions, the performance of the Funds and their underlying investments, and the performance of AGM’s other employees.
1


Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Award Letter have the meanings ascribed to them in Annex A.
A.    Your Point Award
Points are issued in various tranches of interests, each of which reflects indirect interests in different underlying FIG Fund GPs. You are being granted, as of the Point Award Date shown on the attached Schedule I, the number of Points noted on such Schedule I. The FIG Fund GPs associated with your tranche are listed on such Schedule I.
Your Points entitle you to a share of the Carried Interest Revenues derived from Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs, which amounts will be paid to you outside the Partnership in accordance with the same principles that govern Carried Interest Revenues received by the Partnership. Your Points are subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Letter. Any Points granted to you in the future shall be evidenced by and subject to a separate Award Letter.
You are entitled to payments in respect of your Points to the extent that relevant associated distributions have been received by FIG Fund GPs since [Date], in each case subject to the terms and conditions hereunder and any Reimbursement Agreement (as defined below).
B.    Retirement and Forfeiture
Your Points are not subject to vesting and will terminate upon the termination of your employment or service with AMH or the relevant Affiliate, regardless of the reason for such termination. For avoidance of doubt, you will not receive any payments under this Award Letter at any time following the termination of your employment. In addition, your Points shall be reduced automatically to zero as the result of your commission of a Bad Act or if you violate the restrictive covenants applicable to you. Any such reduction shall be effective as of such date or such subsequent date as may be determined by AMH; provided that AMH may, in its sole discretion, agree to a lesser reduction (or to no reduction) of your Points.
C.    Clawbacks
Any payments you receive in respect of your Points shall be provisional and contingent, rather than fully earned or crystalized. Such amounts shall remain subject to repayment, to the extent of your proportionate share, in the event of a clawback by a Fund from an associated FIG Fund GP to which such payments were attributable. In addition, as reflected in the reimbursement agreement you are required to enter into in connection with accepting your Points (the “Reimbursement Agreement”), a portion of the distributed Carried Interest Revenues (the “Carried Interest Distributions”) that otherwise would have been made by a Fund and received as payments by you may be withheld by AMH or an Affiliate to defray an actual or potential general partner giveback obligation in respect of Carried Interest Distributions (whether in respect of the Partnership, a FIG Fund GP or another relevant entity), if AMH or the relevant Affiliate or FIG Fund GP determines reasonably and in good faith that such withholding is appropriate to avoid subjecting the prompt collection of your share of such general partner giveback obligation to possible delay, impediment, hindrance or risk. Distributions of whatever kind or character, whether in cash or other rights or property, at any time owing or payable to you in respect of or on account of your interest in a Co-Investors (A) Entity (or its equivalent)
2


with respect to any Fund may also be withheld reasonably and in good faith for the same purposes. Any such withholding shall be proportionate to your actual or potential liability in respect of such obligations, as determined by AGM, an Affiliate or the applicable FIG Fund GP reasonably and in good faith consistent with the Reimbursement Agreement. In the event that any FIG Fund GP with respect to which you receive payments under FIG (including payments made outside the Partnership) becomes subject to clawback to a Fund, which could happen many years after you receive a payment, you hereby agree that you will be required to repay your applicable giveback/clawback share to an applicable Affiliate. The maximum amount that you would potentially be required to repay under a clawback will be based on how the clawback is calculated at the underlying Fund to which the clawback relates. You hereby agree to repay any such amounts promptly following the request therefor from the applicable Affiliate or its designee and agree to indemnify such persons against any legal fees they incur as a result of your failure to comply with such requirement. Accordingly, your right to retain amounts received by you in respect of your Points (including in respect of Non-Partnership FIG Fund GPs) is provisional and subject to the condition subsequent that such amounts do not become subject to clawback. You acknowledge that your ability to retain your Points (and any rights thereunder) is contingent on your having executed the Reimbursement Agreement in support of your obligations under this paragraph.
D.    Recoupment Policy
To the extent mandated by applicable law, stock exchange or accounting rule and/or as set forth in a written recoupment policy (e.g., with respect to compensation paid based on financial statements that are later found to have been materially misstated) adopted by AGM or an Affiliate, Points awarded hereunder and amounts paid in respect of Points shall be subject to such law or policy.
E.    Miscellaneous
1.    The Partnership Agreement, this Award Letter, and related documentation and rights are intended to be exempt from Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Code Section 409A”), or, if and to the extent subject to Code Section 409A, to comply therewith. Accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, such documents shall be interpreted and be administered to be in compliance with Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Code Section 409A, no payments owing by reason of termination of employment or service hereunder shall be due until you would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from AGM and/or its Affiliates within the meaning of Code Section 409A. Any payments that are due within the “short-term deferral period” or fall within the “separation pay exemption” within the meaning of Code Section 409A shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Each amount to be paid to you from AGM and its Affiliates, whether pursuant to the Partnership Agreement or otherwise that constitutes deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A shall be construed as a separate payment for purposes of Code Section 409A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Partnership Agreement or otherwise, to the extent that any payments to be made upon your separation from service would result in the imposition of any individual penalty tax imposed under Code Section 409A on account of your being a “specified employee” within
3


the meaning of Code Section 409A, the payments shall instead be made on the first business day after the earlier of (i) the date that is six months following such separation from service and (ii) your death. In no event shall AGM or any of its Affiliates (or any employee, officer, director, partner, principal, member, shareholder, representative, or agent thereof) have any liability to you or any other Person due to any failure of the Partnership or any associated documentation to satisfy the requirements of Code Section 409A, and you shall indemnify AGM and its Affiliates (and any agent thereof), and hold them all harmless (including with respect to their attorneys’ fees and costs) if you or your representatives allege any such liability.
2.    No officer, director, employee or agent of AGM or any of its Affiliates shall be personally liable for any action, omission, determination, or interpretation taken or made with respect to the Partnership, your award of Points or any associated documentation.
3.    The powers vested by the Partnership Agreement in the general partner of the Partnership to manage, administer and enforce the provisions of the Partnership Agreement and any award letters issued pursuant to the Partnership Agreement, together with (i) the fiduciary standards applicable to the exercise of such powers as set forth in the Partnership Agreement and (ii) the rights to indemnification set forth in the Partnership Agreement, are incorporated by reference in order to apply, as if contained herein, to AMH and the general partner of the Partnership in relation to all of their activities with respect to the program described in this Award Letter. You acknowledge that you have received a copy of the Partnership Agreement for informational purposes. Without limiting the foregoing, AMH shall have the discretion to construe, interpret, and apply the terms of this Award Letter, including but not limited to its terms regarding your eligibility for any Points; the issuance or forfeiture of any Points; the payments issued in connection with any Points; and/or the clawback of any payments. AMH’s determinations regarding this Award Letter and Points shall be final, binding and conclusive on all persons and entities to the maximum extent permissible under law, and any reviewing arbitrator (and/or court) shall defer to the determinations of AMH to the maximum extent allowable.
4.    AGM may, in its sole discretion, decide to deliver any documents related to your Points and any associated documentation by electronic means or to request your consent to participate in any of the foregoing by electronic means. You hereby consent to receive such documents by electronic delivery and, if requested, to agree to participate therein through an online or electronic system established and maintained by AGM, an Affiliate or a third party designated thereby.
5.    This Award Letter is governed by and is to be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to the principles of conflicts of laws that would cause the laws of another jurisdiction to apply. Any disputes will be resolved by binding arbitration on the same terms (other than those regarding governing law) that apply to individuals who are admitted as partners of the Partnership as described in the Partnership Agreement. This Award Letter is binding on and enforceable against AMH and you. Except as otherwise described herein, this Award Letter may be amended only with the consent of each party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Award Letter may be modified, changed or terminated at any time if such adjustment is necessary or advisable in light of tax, accounting or regulatory considerations, as determined by AMH. AMH may provide copies of this Award Letter to other
4


Persons. This Award Letter may be executed by facsimile and in one or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
6.    This Award Letter shall not be construed as creating a trust, partnership, or other association. The program described in this Award Letter has no assets, and your Points shall not be treated as property or as a trust fund of any kind. References to your Points in this Award Letter are solely as a device for the determination of any payments to be made. You shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of AMH with respect to amounts credited and payable, if any, under this Award Letter in respect of your Points, and rights no greater than the right to receive any such amounts as a general unsecured creditor with respect to such amounts, as and when payable hereunder.
7.    You may not transfer, sell, pledge, hypothecate or assign your Points, and an attempt at any such action will result in your Points being immediately forfeited. Any such forfeiture shall be without payment of any consideration.
8.    This Award Letter shall be deemed confidential information and you shall not make any use of such confidential information (other than for purposes reasonably related to your tax filing obligations) or disclose to any Person any information or matter relating to the Award Letter.
9.    By signing below, you agree to adhere to and be bound by a customary and standard undertaking to reimburse any Affiliate of AGM for any distribution or payment made (including outside the Partnership) that is attributable to your giveback/clawback share of any clawback payment or partner giveback payment, as evidenced by the Reimbursement Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, in consideration of the award of Points to you hereunder, you are deemed irrevocably to make, constitute and appoint AMH with full power of substitution, as your true and lawful representative and attorney-in-fact, and in your name, place and stead, with the power from time to time to make, execute, sign, acknowledge, swear to, verify, deliver, record, file and/or publish any agreement required to further the purposes of this Award Letter or the Reimbursement Agreement and any amendment thereto. This power of attorney is intended to secure a proprietary interest of AMH and the performance of your obligations hereunder.
