On February 4, 2019, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., (the “Issuer”), an indirect subsidiary of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”), priced the previously announced offering of $550.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.872% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “notes”). The public offering price of the notes was 99.999%. The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by Apollo’s indirect subsidiaries, Apollo Principal Holdings I, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings II, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings III, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IV, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings V, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VI, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings VIII, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings IX, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings X, L.P., Apollo Principal Holdings XI, LLC, Apollo Principal Holdings XII, L.P. and AMH Holdings (Cayman), L.P. Apollo intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes for general corporate purposes, including, at the Issuer’s option, to be held in a custody account managed by Bank of America, National Association Holdings, L.P. as custodian and invested in U.S. Treasury securities and money market funds (collectively, all such investments, the “Eligible Assets”). At the Issuer’s discretion, from time to time, the Issuer may (i) remove all or any portion of the Eligible Assets from the custody account or (ii) add Eligible Assets to the custody account.

The notes were offered and sold to qualified institutional buyers in the United States pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States pursuant to Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

The notes have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.

This Current Report on Form 8–K shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to purchase the notes or any other securities, and shall not constitute an offer, solicitation or sale in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.
