Explanatory Note

As previously disclosed, the board (the “Board”) and management team of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“Apollo” or “we”) have taken a series of transformative steps over the past year that are centered on further long-term organizational alignment with the purpose of driving growth, innovation and stockholder value. Among these strategic steps, Apollo has signed an agreement to merge with Athene Holding Ltd. (“Athene”), following which merger both entities will become subsidiaries of Tango Holdings, Inc. (“HoldCo”). The merger is expected to close in January 2022, creating full long-term alignment among the two companies and their stockholders. Apollo is also in the process of revamping to a best-in-class corporate governance structure that will more completely align its stockholders with its business plan. Similarly, as described during Apollo’s Investor Day on October 19, 2021 (“Investor Day”), as part of these strategic steps, Apollo intends to implement a reset of its compensation programs across a significant part of its employee base. All of the compensation arrangements described herein are consistent with the assumptions in the five-year plan communicated at Investor Day and we believe will propel realization of our five-year plan. The goal of the compensation reset is to align the totality of the employee base with our business plan objectives for driving fee related earnings and other metrics and a recognition that Apollo is a talent-driven enterprise in a talent-driven world. We want to attract the most qualified and energized talent in the industry and want motivated, productive talent to spend the entirety of their careers at Apollo.

As part of this compensation reset, Apollo is implementing new compensation arrangements and incentive programs and making changes to certain existing employee incentive programs. These changes include (i) eliminating one broadly-owned carry program piloted since 2016 that was not achieving its human capital goals effectively and replacing it with stock of equivalent value that will further alignment across the platform, (ii) providing Apollo’s senior leaders, a group of approximately one hundred individuals, with long-term stock-based awards, (iii) providing Apollo’s senior leaders increased alignment across the totality of Apollo’s incentive income, (iv) renewing the CEO’s employment agreement and extending it by two years, and (v) entering into new compensation arrangements with Apollo’s Co-Presidents and buying out their existing unvested cash incentive compensation arrangements. Mr. Rowan’s annual base salary will remain $100,000 per year and he will receive no additional compensation.

Mr. Rowan said, “As a Co-Founder and significant stockholder, I am excited by these transformative steps, which fully align our senior leaders with stockholders and are key to executing our long-term growth strategy. Representing a critical piece of Apollo’s organizational realignment, these enhancements further solidify our best-in-class team that will deliver on Apollo’s compelling, five year growth objectives to double earnings and assets over that period.”

In general, we intend to vest these awards. This vesting paradigm is a purposeful step in empowering our employees. We want highly energized and productive employees who want to be at Apollo, rather than people who are incentivized to stay at Apollo because they need to vest. We are confident that we have created a distinctive, high performing culture where employees will continue to thrive because Apollo is a great place to work, it provides very attractive compensation for high performance and its employees are surrounded by incredibly talented colleagues who will help them drive innovation. We are encouraging our managers to be responsible for creating a great place to work and paying at the top of the market for top performance. At the same time, employees will not be able to retain these awards and compete with Apollo. Most of the awards have delivery restrictions that include not competing with Apollo for an extended period of time. The CEO and Co-Presidents further have extended non-competition employment restrictions. Awards related to incentive income for our senior leaders will be subject to vesting consistent with our strategic objectives.

In connection with these compensation changes and the issuance of Apollo stock and stock-based awards, Apollo expects to incur a one-time non-cash charge of $1.1 billion in the fourth quarter of 2021. The vast majority of the non-cash charge results from the change in approach to vesting. The non-cash charge is expected to impact our financial results under GAAP, but is not expected to impact our operating results, including key performance

metrics such as fee related earnings and distributable earnings (both of which are non-GAAP financial measures of Apollo). These non-cash charges are consistent with the assumptions used in the five year growth goals communicated at Apollo’s Investor Day on October 19, 2021, including an expected reduction in the compensation ratio of Apollo’s fee related earnings from approximately 30% to 25% over time. Additionally, the shares and RSUs that will be issued pursuant to the items described under Item 5.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K are consistent with the estimated 600 million shares that Apollo previously disclosed will be outstanding on a fully-diluted basis after the completion of the proposed merger of Apollo and Athene.

Jay Clayton, Non-Executive Chair of the Board said, “This fundamental reset will drive organizational alignment across the platform with both investors and stockholders as well as position Apollo as the best place to be a partner in the financial services industry now and in the future. The simple and transparent, long-term employment agreements for Apollo’s Co-Presidents and holistic compensation enhancement for Apollo’s senior executives are almost exclusively in stock that will be held for many years, which drives full alignment with stockholder interests. The Board remains highly confident in the senior executive team’s ability to deliver on Apollo’s attractive growth opportunity and value creation plan.”

The information included under Item 5.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K describes Apollo’s compensation reset. For more information on these charges and their performance impact on HoldCo, please refer to the Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Statements (as defined below in Item 8.01 to this Current Report on Form 8-K). For more information on Apollo’s non-GAAP measures, including their definitions and reconciliations to most comparable GAAP measures, please refer to Apollo’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).

Item 5.02    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Carry Exchange Program

Apollo has determined to cease making new awards under its employee incentive program collectively referred to as “global carry pool,” pursuant to which certain Apollo employees have had the opportunity to participate in the incentive income generated by the investment funds managed by Apollo and its affiliates.

Apollo employees who participate in the global carry pool have been given the opportunity to elect, not later than December 10, 2021 (unless such date is extended by Apollo), to exchange their rights to distributions of incentive income under their outstanding limited partner interests and rights in global carry pool for the right to receive shares of Apollo and fully vested Apollo RSUs which, following the closing of the merger of Apollo and Athene, will be shares of HoldCo common stock and fully-vested HoldCo RSUs. Apollo believes that, following this exchange, these Apollo employees will be better aligned with the business and performance of Apollo. Each of Apollo’s executive officers who hold global carry pool interests is expected to participate in the program.

If all employees who participate in the global carry pool elect to participate in this exchange, the shares and RSUs to be issued to them (a significant portion of which represents a value-for-value exchange for the global carry pool limited partner interests and rights being surrendered, rather than new remuneration), would have an anticipated value of approximately $270 million, of which $42.5 million would be attributable to the executive officers. In connection with this program, an accounting charge of approximately $200 million will be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2021, due in part to the exchange of GCP carry points, some of which were unvested, for a vested right to receive stock on a current or delayed basis.

As part of the broader compensation reset, Apollo intends to reallocate a portion of the incentive income rights it receives in this exchange as well as additional incentive income rights to senior Apollo professionals (other than the CEO and the Co-Presidents) who are primarily focused on creating incentive income.

Long-Term Stock Awards to Certain Senior Leaders

Apollo has also agreed to issue 6.5 million RSUs to its senior leaders (excluding the CEO and the Co-Presidents), a group of approximately one hundred individuals, in anticipation of its merger with Athene. These shares will be vested but with restrictions on delivery that include not competing with Apollo.

On November 30, 2021, a committee of the Board consisting of the Board’s independent directors (the “Committee”) approved a grant, on December 1, 2021, of long-term stock awards to Apollo’s Co-Chief Operating Officers, Martin Kelly (also our Chief Financial Officer) and Anthony Civale, of RSUs covering 172,413 Apollo shares each. These RSUs were fully vested at grant and the underlying HoldCo shares will be delivered in January 2027 if the executive honors his restrictive covenants until that date.

The grants approved by the Committee on November 30, 2021 to all of Apollo’s executive officers other than the Co-Presidents, including Apollo’s Co-Chief Operating Officers, Martin Kelly (also Apollo’s Chief Financial Officer) and Anthony Civale, totaled 474,136 RSUs with a value of $33.6 million based on the closing price on November 30, 2021.

Incentive Income Participation for Certain Senior Leaders

Following the closing of the merger, certain Apollo partners, including certain of its executive officers (but excluding its CEO and Co-Presidents), will participate in a new program that provides the opportunity to receive additional cash compensation based on the incentive income earned by Apollo in the year awarded. These allocations will predominantly be to investment professionals who have the greatest ability to generate incentive income. The target 2022 award for the executive officers as a group is $10 million. At the election of each participant, these amounts would be paid, without interest, or invested in one or more specified Apollo investment funds. In either case, the amounts will be subject to vesting, and paid as cash compensation, at the end of three years.

The aggregate financial impact of these incentive allocations is consistent with disclosures Apollo made in its Investor Day materials and with the five year financial targets of incentive allocations of 60% to 70% of incentive income.

Renewal and Extension of CEO Employment Agreement

On November 30, 2021, the Committee also approved the renewal of Apollo’s employment, non-competition and non-solicitation agreement with its chief executive officer, Marc Rowan. The agreement is similar to his existing agreement, has been extended by two years, includes a voluntary extension of non-competition and non-solicitation conditions to align with the Co-Presidents, and includes no change to his compensation arrangements. Specifically, the term has been extended until the end of 2023 and provides for extended restrictive non-competition and non-solicitation covenants (to 18 and 24 months following employment, respectively). Under the agreement, Mr. Rowan’s annual base salary under the agreement remains $100,000 per year. Mr. Rowan, a Co-Founder of Apollo, holds substantial equity in Apollo and receives no additional compensation and will not be awarded stock, incentive carry or bonuses.

Co-President Employment Agreements

On November 30, 2021, the Committee also approved new employment agreements for Apollo’s Co-Presidents, Scott Kleinman and James Zelter. These new agreements govern their compensation for the next five years as they lead Apollo following its merger with Athene. Under the new agreements, the Co-Presidents will each give up all existing cash incentive compensation arrangements to the extent unvested and forgo future entitlements in respect of bonus, unvested carry and other forms of compensation. In return, they will each earn the equivalent of one million shares per year for five years, plus the opportunity to earn an additional one million shares for meeting the fee related earnings and spread related earnings per share targets as set forth in the Investor Day materials. None of the shares underlying this one-time grant of six million RSUs will be delivered or transferable

until five years after grant. Consistent with Apollo’s compensation philosophy, three million shares will be vested up front and the remainder eligible to vest at the end of five years. We believe these arrangements drive complete alignment with Apollo’s stockholders.

Under the agreements, effective January 1, 2022, each of Messrs. Kleinman and Zelter will receive an annual base salary of $100,000 per year and will receive no further bonuses, allocations of carried interest or other forms of new compensation. The agreements also provide for an increase in the duration of Mr. Kleinman’s and Mr. Zelter’s existing non-competition and non-solicitation covenants, from 12 months following termination of employment to the longer of December 31, 2026, and, in the case of the non-compete, 18 months following termination of employment, and in the case of the non-solicit, 24 months following termination of employment.

As described above, the one-time grant of RSUs to Messrs. Kleinman and Zelter will provide the right to receive up to six million Apollo Class A shares, less a number of RSUs equal to the value of existing unvested carried interest awards that will be relinquished for vested transfer-restricted HoldCo shares as part of the exchange by them described below. These grants are intended to fully align the Co-Presidents with the public stockholders and incentivize them to drive stock price performance over the next five years. Such grants were made on December 1, 2021 under Apollo’s omnibus equity incentive plan, which will be assumed by HoldCo following the merger and will convert to RSUs with the right to receive HoldCo shares following the merger.

Three million of these RSUs (less a number of RSUs equal to the value of existing unvested carried interest awards that will be relinquished for vested transfer-restricted HoldCo shares as part of the exchange by Messrs. Kleinman and Zelter described below) will be vested at grant, but will not be delivered until January 2027, and delivery on such date is subject to the continued employment, or a good leaver departure (including a termination without cause, resignation with good reason or death or disability, each as defined in the applicable employment agreement) through such date. If Mr. Kleinman or Mr. Zelter voluntarily resigns or retires (not with good reason) before December 31, 2026, delivery of the shares underlying the vested RSUs will be delayed until January 2032. The remaining three million RSUs for each executive will be subject to five years of continuous service, with the vesting of one million of such RSUs, to be delivered in April 2027, also based upon attaining the per share fee related earnings and spread related earnings targets for 2026 set forth in the Investor Day materials. Such awards have certain accelerated vesting provisions for good leaver terminations as described in the applicable award agreements.

No shares under the RSUs will be delivered if the applicable executive breaches the applicable restrictive covenants in any material respect or is terminated for Cause or terminates employment at a time when such executive could have been terminated for Cause. Except for those RSUs that are subject to performance vesting, the RSUs will accrue dividend equivalents.

As a condition of the grants, each executive has agreed that he will no longer receive future grants of additional direct interests in any carried interest earned by Apollo for investment funds it manages or other forms of new compensation. In addition, as part of the new arrangements, each of Messrs. Kleinman and Zelter has agreed to give up all unvested carried interest rights through an exchange of unvested carried interest rights for shares of HoldCo. The shares delivered to them in such exchange will be subject to transfer restrictions on the same terms as the delivery schedule for shares underlying the vested RSUs (January 2027 for continued employment and good leaver situations, and January 2032 for resignations prior to January 1, 2027). Those shares will be subject to the same forfeiture and clawback provisions for the violation of restrictive covenants and engaging in Cause termination conduct, and the same restrictions on transferability, as shares underlying the RSUs, and the issuance of such shares will reduce the shares eligible to be delivered under the vested RSUs described above.

Other

Apollo is also introducing a supplemental annual cash stipend of $250,000 for its partners and certain of its executive officers (excluding its CEO and Co-Presidents) that they may use to purchase supplemental employee benefits or for other purposes.

When viewed in their totality, all actions described under this Item 5.02, are intended to empower Apollo’s professionals and better align their interests with Apollo’s business and stockholders. See the Explanatory Note to this Current Report on Form 8-K for more information.

Pro Forma Financial Statements

Apollo is supplementally providing, as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial data of HoldCo, consisting of (a) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, (b) the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2021, and (c) the summary unaudited combined non-GAAP adjusted operating earnings and related reconciliations to GAAP measures for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 (collectively, the “Supplemental Pro Forma Financial Statements”).

On March 8, 2021, Apollo entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Athene, HoldCo, Blue Merger Sub, Ltd. and Green Merger Sub, Inc. On November 30, 2021, in accordance with Section 5.01(b)(i) of the Merger Agreement, Athene consented to (i) Apollo authorizing and effecting the issuance of RSUs to Apollo’s Co-Presidents as described under Item 5.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and (ii) Apollo agreeing to the issuance by Holdco, following the consummation of the merger of Apollo and Athene, of common shares of Holdco in connection with a potential acquisition.

The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including Exhibit 99.1, contains forward-looking statements that are within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These statements include, but are not limited to, discussions related to Apollo’s expectations regarding the performance of its business, its 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 Current Report on Form 8-K, the words “believe,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend” and 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 have been correct. It is possible that actual results will differ, possibly materially, from the anticipated results indicated in these statements. These statements are subject to certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions, including risks relating to Apollo’s dependence on certain key personnel, Apollo’s ability to raise new private equity, credit or real assets funds, the impact of COVID-19, the impact of energy market dislocation, market conditions, generally, Apollo’s ability to manage its growth, fund performance, changes in Apollo’s regulatory environment and tax status, the variability of Apollo’s revenues, net income and cash flow, Apollo’s use of leverage to finance its businesses and investments by funds managed by subsidiaries of Apollo (the “Apollo funds”), litigation risks and consummation of the merger of Apollo with Athene, potential governance changes and related transactions which are subject to regulatory, corporate and stockholders approvals, among others. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been uncertainty and disruption in the global economy and financial markets. While Apollo is unable to accurately predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on Apollo’s results from operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties, including the duration and severity of the pandemic and containment measures, Apollo’s compliance with these measures has impacted Apollo’s day-to-day operations

Exhibit 99.1

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11, Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended by the final rule, Amendments to Financial Disclosures About Acquired and Disposed Businesses, adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 21, 2020 (“Article 11”). The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the pro forma effects of the following transactions (the “Transactions”):

 

  a.

On March 8, 2021, Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM”), Athene Holding Ltd. (“AHL”), Tango Holdings, Inc. (“HoldCo”), Blue Merger Sub, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company and a direct subsidiary of HoldCo (“AHL Merger Sub”) and Green Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation and a direct subsidiary of HoldCo (“AGM Merger Sub”) entered into the merger agreement. The total purchase price for the transaction was approximately $12,057 million, subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments as provided in the merger agreement. The total purchase price excludes the fair value of AHL shares previously owned by AGM of $4,485 million. The acquisition of AHL’s investments in AGM funds will result in the consolidation of additional variable interest entities. The mergers will also result in the elimination of intercompany activity and balances between AGM and AHL. After giving effect to the mergers and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, AGM and AHL will be direct subsidiaries of HoldCo, which will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.” See the section titled “The Mergers” in the prospectus of Tango Holdings, Inc., filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) with the SEC on November 5, 2021 (the “Prospectus”); and

 

  b.

the conversion of each outstanding unit in the Apollo Operating Group (“AOG units”) and reorganization of AGM from an umbrella partnership C corporation structure to a full C-corporation. See the section titled “Corporate Governance Updates” in the Prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information also presents the pro forma effects of the implementation of new compensation arrangements and incentive programs, and changes to certain existing employee incentive programs (“Compensation Reset”). See Item 5.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information of AGM and AHL is presented to illustrate the estimated effects of the Transactions as described below (collectively, “Adjustments” or “Transaction Accounting Adjustments”) and the estimated effects of the Compensation Reset program.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020 combines the historical consolidated statements of operations of AGM and the consolidated statement of income of AHL, after giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as of September 30, 2021, combines the historical consolidated statement of financial condition of AGM and the consolidated balance sheet of AHL, after giving effect to the Transactions as if they had occurred on September 30, 2021. We refer to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations and unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition as the “pro forma financial information.”

The pro forma financial information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying notes. In addition, the pro forma financial information is derived from, and should be read in conjunction with, the following historical consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes of AGM and AHL:

 

  •  

the audited consolidated financial statements of AGM as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes included in AGM’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020;

 

  •  

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AGM as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes included in AGM’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021;


  •  

the audited consolidated financial statements of AHL as of and for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, and the related notes included in AHL’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

 

  •  

the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of AHL as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, and the related notes included in AHL’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2021;

The mergers will be treated as a business combination under Accounting Standards Codification 805, Business combinations “ASC 805,” and will be accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting under GAAP. The pro forma financial information has been prepared on the basis that AGM is the accounting acquirer with AHL being the target. As a result, the term “AGM” as used herein refers to (a) for historical financial information, Apollo Global Management, Inc. and (b) for pro forma financial information, Tango Holdings, Inc. which will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.” upon consummation of the mergers.

The pro forma financial information is based on various adjustments and assumptions and is not necessarily indicative of what AGM’s combined statement of financial condition and combined statement of operations actually would have been had the Transactions and Adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or results of operations of AGM following the completion of the Transactions.

The pro forma financial information reflects Adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly AGM’s pro forma financial position and results of operations following the closing of the Transactions as of and for the periods indicated. The Adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions that management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of Adjustments necessary to reflect AGM’s financial condition and the results of operations as if AGM completed the Transactions on September 30, 2021 and January 1, 2020, respectively. These Adjustments are based on preliminary estimates and may be different from the acquisition accounting that will be made by AGM upon consummation of the Transactions, and these differences could be material.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information

1. Description of Transactions

On March 8, 2021, AGM entered into the merger agreement with AHL, HoldCo, and the Merger Subs. The total purchase price is estimated at $12,057 million as of November 26, 2021, subject to certain post-closing purchase price adjustments as provided in the merger agreement. The purchase price excludes the fair value of AHL Common Shares previously owned by AGM of $4,485 million as of November 26, 2021.

The merger agreement provides that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein, AGM and AHL will effect an all-stock merger transaction to combine their respective businesses through (a) the AHL Merger, with AHL as the surviving entity in the AHL Merger and a direct subsidiary of HoldCo; and (b) the AGM Merger with AGM as the surviving entity in the AGM Merger and a direct subsidiary of HoldCo. The mergers are intended to become effective concurrently, and, upon the consummation of the mergers, AGM and AHL will be direct subsidiaries of HoldCo. Following the mergers and the closing of the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, HoldCo will be renamed “Apollo Global Management, Inc.”

Each issued and outstanding AHL Common Share (other than AHL Shares held by AHL as treasury shares (including shares held by HoldCo, the AHL Merger Sub, the AGM Merger Sub and the Apollo Operating Group or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AGM or the Apollo Operating Group)), will be converted automatically into 1.149 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable HoldCo Shares and any cash paid in lieu of fractional HoldCo Shares. The exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted for changes in the market value of the AGM Class A Shares or the AHL Shares. No fractional HoldCo Shares will be issued in connection with the AHL Merger, and AHL’s shareholders will receive cash in lieu of any fractional HoldCo Shares.

Each issued and outstanding share of AGM Class A Shares (other than AGM Class A Shares held (a) by AGM as treasury shares or (b) by AGM Merger Sub or any direct or indirect wholly owned subsidiary of AGM) will be converted automatically into one (1) HoldCo Share.

At the effective time of the AGM Merger, each of the issued and outstanding series of preferred shares of AGM will remain issued and outstanding as preferred shares of the AGM surviving entity, and, at the effective time of the AHL Merger, each AHL Preferred Share will automatically become, under applicable Bermuda law, an equivalent preferred share of AHL, the surviving company in the AHL Merger.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information assumes that, at the effective time of the AHL Merger, whether vested or unvested, each outstanding option to acquire AHL Common Shares, awards of restricted AHL Shares and awards 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, except that outstanding awards of restricted AHL Common 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. See the sections titled “The Mergers—Interests of AHL’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions—Treatment of AHL Equity Compensation Awards” in the Prospectus.

At the effective time of the AGM Merger, whether vested or unvested, each outstanding option to purchase AGM Class A Shares, awards of restricted AGM Class A Shares and awards of AGM 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. See the section titled “The Mergers—Interests of AGM’s Directors and Executive Officers in the Transactions—AGM Equity Awards” in the Prospectus.

At the effective time of the AHL Merger, each of the issued and outstanding warrants of AHL that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the AHL Merger will be exchanged for HoldCo Shares with a fair value measured at the time of the AHL Merger equal to the fair value of such AHL warrant as of immediately prior to the consummation of the AHL Merger calculated using a Black-Scholes valuation. See the section titled “The Merger Agreement—Treatment of the AHL Warrants” in the Prospectus.


The merger agreement contains certain termination rights and provides that, upon termination of the merger agreement, AGM will be obligated to pay AHL a cash termination fee of $81,900,000 if (i) the board of directors of AGM 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 stockholder approval of the AGM Merger and the merger agreement is not obtained at the AGM stockholder meeting at which the AGM Merger and the merger agreement are submitted for approval.

2. Basis of Presentation

The pro forma financial information was prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, with AGM as the accounting acquirer, and is derived from the unaudited and audited historical financial statements of AGM and AHL.

The pro forma financial information has been prepared by AGM for illustrative and informational purposes only in accordance with Article 11. The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of what AGM’s combined statement of operations or combined statement of financial condition would have been had the Transactions and Adjustments been completed as of the dates indicated or will be for any future periods. The pro forma financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or financial results of operations of AGM following the completion of the Transactions. The pro forma financial information does not include adjustments to reflect any potential revenue synergies or cost savings that may be achievable in connection with the Transactions. The pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that management believes are necessary to present fairly AGM’s pro forma financial position and results of operations following the consummation of the Transactions as of and for the periods indicated. The pro forma adjustments are based on currently available information and assumptions management believes are, under the circumstances and given the information available at this time, reasonable, and reflective of adjustments necessary to reflect AGM’s financial condition and results of operations as if the Transactions were consummated as of the dates indicated.

The acquisition method of accounting uses the fair value concepts defined in ASC 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” (“ASC 820”). Fair value is defined in ASC 820 as “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.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible that the application of reasonable judgment could develop different assumptions, resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances.

The allocation of the estimated consideration is preliminary and is pending finalization of various estimates, inputs and analyses. Since this pro forma financial information has been prepared based on preliminary estimates of consideration and fair values attributable to the mergers, the actual amounts eventually recorded for the acquisition method of accounting, including identifiable intangibles and goodwill, may differ materially from the information presented.

The initial allocation of AGM’s purchase price to acquire AHL has been allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon management’s preliminary estimate of what their respective fair values would be as of the date of the Transactions.

At this preliminary stage, the estimated identifiable finite-lived intangible assets include the value of distribution network acquired (“VODA”), AHL’s trade name, and internally developed software. The estimated identifiable indefinite-lived intangible asset relates to state insurance licenses acquired, which will not be amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing.

Identifiable finite-lived intangible assets recognized by AGM also include the value of business acquired (“VOBA”), which represents the excess of book value over the estimated fair value of acquired insurance, annuity, and investment type contracts in force at the acquisition date. For certain acquired blocks of business, the estimated fair value of the in-force contract obligations exceeded the book value of assumed


in-force insurance policy liabilities, resulting in negative VOBA, which is presented separately from VOBA as an additional insurance liability included within Interest Sensitive Contract Liabilities and Future Policy Benefits. The estimated fair value of the acquired obligations is based on projections, by each block of business, of future policy and contract charges, premiums, mortality and morbidity, surrenders, expenses, investment returns, separate account performance, nonperformance risk adjustment and other factors.

VODA, VOBA, and other identifiable finite-lived intangible assets are amortized over their estimated useful lives.

Goodwill represents the excess of the estimated purchase price over the estimated fair value of AHL’s assets and liabilities, including the fair value of the estimated identifiable finite- and indefinite-lived intangible assets described above, less any non-controlling interest. Goodwill will not be amortized, but will be subject to periodic impairment testing.

The calculation of goodwill and other identifiable intangible assets could be materially impacted by changing fair value measurements. Under ASC 805, acquisition-related transaction costs are not included as a component of consideration transferred, but are accounted for as expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred.

The presentations in the pro forma financial information reflect the significant industry diversification of AGM and AHL. AHL operates a retirement services business, and AGM operates an alternative asset management business, each of which possess distinct characteristics. AGM applies a two-tiered approach to present the pro forma financial information. AGM believes that this two-tiered approach provides a more meaningful and informative view of the pro forma financial condition and results of operations than a traditional aggregate presentation. AGM believes that reporting AHL’s retirement services operations separately is appropriate, given, among other factors, the relative significance of AHL’s interest sensitive contract liabilities, which are not guaranteed by AGM. If more traditional presentations were used, AGM would eliminate or combine several identical or similar captions, reducing the transparency and utility of the pro forma financial information. AGM believes that traditional presentations would result in no new line items presented, compared to the two-tier presentation of the pro forma financial information.

AGM historical amounts have been converted from thousands to millions to be in line with AHL’s historical presentation. As a result, rounding differences may exist in the pro forma financial information.

The pro forma financial information reflects preliminary allocations of consolidated VIEs between asset management and retirement services. As a result, funds currently reflected as consolidated VIEs under asset management could ultimately be consolidated under retirement services, or vice versa.

3. Reclassifications and Conforming Accounting Policies

At this time, AGM is not aware of any material differences in accounting policies and financial statement classifications that would have a material impact on the pro forma financial information.

AGM is still in the process of performing a full review of AHL’s accounting policies to determine whether there are material differences that require modification or reclassification of AHL’s revenues, expenses, assets or liabilities to conform to AGM’s accounting policies and classifications. As a result of that review, AGM may identify differences between the accounting policies of AGM and AHL that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the pro forma financial information.

4. Conversion of AOG Units

As soon as reasonably practicable following receipt of required approvals and before the consummation of the mergers, the single outstanding AGM Class B Share will be reclassified into such number of shares of a new series of New AGM Preferred Stock equivalent to the number of AOG units underlying the


AGM Class B Share to and with the same aggregate voting power that the AGM Class B Share represented immediately prior to the exchange. BRH will hold all of the shares of New AGM Preferred Stock. Each share of New AGM Preferred Stock, together with its associated AOG unit, if any, will be exchangeable for one AGM Class A Share. Upon the reclassification of the AGM Class B Share, the outstanding AGM Class C Share held by AGM Management, LLC will be exchanged into such number of AGM Class A Shares equivalent to the par value of the AGM Class C Share. Upon the occurrence of the Mandatory Exchange Date (as defined below), each share of New AGM Preferred Stock, together with its associated AOG unit, if any, will be automatically exchanged into a combination of HoldCo Shares (or shares of a wholly owned subsidiary of a newly formed holding company (such company, “NewCo” and such shares, “NewCo Shares”), as applicable) and cash, as described below.

In the event that all approvals required to permit the reclassification or exchange, as applicable, of the AGM Class B Share into the shares of the New AGM Preferred Stock are received concurrently with those required to permit the consummation of the mergers, then, immediately prior to the consummation of the mergers, in lieu of the reclassification of the AGM Class B Share into shares of the New AGM Preferred Stock, on the Mandatory Exchange Date (as defined below), (x) the single outstanding AGM Class C Share held by AGM Management, LLC will be exchanged into such number of AGM Class A Shares equivalent to the par value of the AGM Class C Share, (y) the single outstanding AGM Class B Share held by BRH will be exchanged into such number of AGM Class A Shares equivalent to the par value of the AGM Class B Share, and (z) any AOG Units beneficially owned by the direct and indirect equityholders of AP Professional Holdings, L.P. (“AP Professional”) will be exchanged for HoldCo Shares in the manner described below.

The “Mandatory Exchange Date” will be a date chosen at the discretion of AGM’s management team. However, if the mergers are consummated by June 30, 2022, the Mandatory Exchange Date will be the date on which the mergers will be consummated. If the mergers have not been consummated by June 30, 2022, the Mandatory Exchange Date will be June 30, 2022; provided that, if as of June 30, 2022 (1) the mergers have not been consummated and (2) the merger agreement has not been terminated and remains in effect, then the Mandatory Exchange Date will be the earlier of (x) the date on which the mergers are consummated and (y) the date on which the merger agreement is terminated.

On or prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date, any AOG units held by AP Professional will be:

 

  •  

distributed from AP Professional to BRH Holdings, L.P. (“BRH LP”) and the other equityholders of AP Professional pro rata in accordance with their respective interests in AP Professional in a liquidating distribution (with BRH LP further distributing the AOG units to its equityholders pro rata in accordance with their respective interests in BRH LP in a liquidating distribution); and

 

  •  

exchanged for:

 

  •  

such number of HoldCo Shares or NewCo Shares (as defined below), as applicable, on a one-for-one basis; and

 

  •  

cash equal to the product of (i) number of outstanding AOG units (other than those held by subsidiaries of AGM and AHL) multiplied by (ii) $3.66, payable over a period of four years in equal quarterly installments; provided, however, that in the event that AGM consummates this exchange immediately prior to the mergers, this amount 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.

The AOG Units held by AP Professional may be exchanged for HoldCo Shares or NewCo shares and cash, as described above, prior to, or along with, the exchange of the single outstanding AGM Class B Share or all outstanding shares of the New AGM Preferred Stock, as applicable.

In the event that the merger agreement has been terminated, but all approvals required to permit the reclassification of the AGM Class B Share have been received subject to the prior approval of the stockholders of AGM (which approval is not being requested at the AGM special meeting), on the Mandatory Exchange Date, a


wholly owned subsidiary of NewCo will merge with and into AGM, with AGM to be the surviving company in the merger. Upon consummation of this merger, each holder of AGM capital stock will receive on a tax-free basis shares of NewCo capital stock and will no longer hold any equity interests in AGM. Such transaction would require the approval of the stockholders of AGM. However, we are not seeking such approval at the AGM special meeting.

The Amended and Restated Tax Receivable Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2013, as amended on September 5, 2019, will not be applicable for the mandatory exchange described above, but will remain in effect for any exchanges occurring prior to the Mandatory Exchange Date.

Following the closing of the mergers, it is intended that the AOG units held by subsidiaries of AHL will be distributed to HoldCo. For more information on the above transactions, see the section titled “Corporate Governance Updates” in the Prospectus.

The Mandatory Exchange will result in a step up in tax basis of certain assets that will be recovered as those assets are sold or the basis is amortized and a remeasurement of deferred taxes for inside basis differences. The estimated net deferred tax asset recorded is $7 million. This amount was generated by (1) a remeasurement of our net deferred tax liabilities for the additional interest acquired in the Apollo Operating Group as of September 30, 2021 of $256 million and (2) a step up in tax basis of $263 million. The deferred tax asset recorded following the close of the mergers may differ from the assumed pro forma financial information due to changes in units outstanding and inside basis differences that will exist upon the closing of the mergers.

The Mandatory Exchange will result in an adjustment to record $579 million due to related parties and the reclassification of the AOG units held by AP Professional and AHL from non-controlling interest to additional paid in capital.

5. Calculation of Preliminary Estimated Purchase Price

The all-stock transaction implies a total equity value of approximately $21,237 million for AHL, which is not expected to be finalized until January 2022 per the terms of the merger agreement.

The preliminary merger consideration is approximately $12,057 million, based on the closing price of AGM Class A Shares of $71.74 on November 26, 2021. The total preliminary merger consideration and total AHL equity value will fluctuate based upon changes in the price of AGM Class A Shares, the number of AHL Common Shares outstanding, the fair value of AHL Options, RSUs and warrants, and the fair value of non-controlling interest at the closing of the mergers. The preliminary merger consideration is as follows:

Upon closing of the mergers and the completion of a formal valuation study, the estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities will be updated, including the estimated fair value and useful lives of the identifiable intangible assets and allocation of the excess purchase price to goodwill. The calculation of goodwill, non-controlling interests, and other identified intangible assets could be materially impacted by changing fair value measurements.

7. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statement of Financial Condition

Explanations of the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition are as follows:

 

  (A)

To reflect the estimated fair value of acquired investments that were previously not carried at fair value, adjustments to credit loss allowances, and adjustments to investment funds that were previously reported on a lag.

 

  (B)

Represents the removal of unamortized historical deferred policy acquisition costs (DAC), deferred sales inducements (DSI) and VOBA, and the establishment of VOBA based on the preliminary fair value.

 

  (C)

Represents the preliminary amount assigned to new intangible assets of $1,230 million which includes VODA, trade name, and state insurance licenses, offset by the removal of related historical intangible assets of $34 million, and other assets.

 

  (D)

Represents the adjustment to estimated fair value of reserves of $7,295 million, offset by the removal of historically established negative VOBA, unearned revenue reserve, and deferred reinsurance gains of $1,924 million.

 

  (E)

Represents the adjustment to estimated fair value of long-term debt.

 

  (F)

Adjustments to other liabilities include the following:

 

  1.

Historical deferred tax liability of $908 million less the reclassification of deferred tax asset adjustments of $657 million, for a net deferred tax liability of $251 million.

 

  2.

AHL accrual for transaction costs and adjustments of $15 million.

 

  (G)

Represents the adjustment to fair value for non-controlling interests.

 

  (H)

Represents the following:

 

  1.

Removal of historical equity and the establishment of the purchase price consideration; and

 

  2.

Reduction of retained earnings to reflect $161 million in new allowances for expected credit losses, $42 million accrued as of the balance sheet date for transaction expenses, and increase to retained earnings of $247 million related to addition of AGM’s historical outside basis in AHL.

 

  (I)

Represents the elimination of AGM’s investment in AHL of $3,357 million and AHL’s investment in HoldCo Shares of $1,796 million.

 

  (J)

Represents the elimination of management fees receivable and management fees payable balances of $53 million.

 

  (K)

Reflects the reclassification of AGM preferred stock and AHL preferred shares of $554 million and $2,569 million, respectively, to non-controlling interests as the preferred shares of stockholders and shareholders’ interests remain outstanding at each of AGM and AHL, respectively.

 

  (L)

Represents an adjustment to deferred tax for AHL’s investment in the Apollo Operating Group. The adjustment to the deferred tax is due to changes in the valuation of the investment in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of financial condition.


  (M)

Consolidation of additional investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM, and related eliminations, due to AGM and AHL’s combined interests in those funds and the reclassification of assets and liabilities related to historically consolidated variable interest entities into assets and liabilities of consolidated variable interest entities. The total assets and liabilities of additional consolidated variable interest entities of AHL were $217 million and $1 million, respectively.

 

  (N)

Represents the deferred tax remeasurement for AHL’s interest in the Apollo Operating Group upon the mergers. The deferred tax recorded may differ from pro forma results due to changes in AHL’s outside basis difference in AOG and the Apollo Operating Group’s inside basis differences that will exist upon closing of the mergers.

 

  (O)

To reflect goodwill representing the excess of the preliminary merger consideration and fair value of AGM’s previously held equity interest in AHL over the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed. Goodwill is not expected to be deductible for U.S. federal income tax purposes.

8. Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

Explanations of the adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are as follows:

 

  (A)

Represents primarily the adjustment to record the GAAP elimination, in the consolidation of the AGM and AHL statements of operations, of $405 million and $451 million of management fees revenue, which AGM currently receives pursuant to existing agreements for providing a full-suite of services to AHL, and $4 million and $15 million of incentive fee revenue, for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. After completion of the mergers and the corporate governance updates, it is anticipated that these contracts and the related fee terms will remain in place and HoldCo’s management team will continue to consider the related impacts when evaluating the performance of each line of business. Accordingly, it is anticipated that after the completion of the mergers, and the corporate governance updates, HoldCo’s businesses and non-GAAP financial measures will reflect the management fees under these contracts.

 

  (B)

Represents the following:

 

  1.

Elimination, in the consolidation of the AGM and AHL statements of operations, of management fees expense and incentive fees of $409 million and $466 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively—refer to (A) above; and

 

  2.

Elimination, in the consolidation of the AGM and AHL statements of operations, of investment gains related to AHL’s investment in AOG units of $460 million and $225 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (C)

Represents the elimination of mark-to-market (gains) losses related to AGM’s investment in AHL.

 

  (D)

Reflects income tax expense, at the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 21%, on AHL’s income before income taxes, including pro forma adjustments relating to the mergers, in accordance with Article 11. The effective tax rate on AHL’s income before income taxes in the period presented was, and following the close of the mergers may be, lower than the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate.

 

  (E)

Represents the following:

 

  1.

Reclassification of $1,761 million and $192 million of income attributable to AOG unitholders following the exchange of the AOG units to AGM Class A Shares at the Mandatory Exchange Date for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively; and

 

  2.

$233 million and $78 million income attributable to non-controlling interests due to the consolidation of additional investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM due to AGM and AHL’s combined interests in those funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.


  (F)

Represents the adjustment primarily for less accretion of discounts on available-for-sale (AFS) securities and mortgage loans, resulting from adjustment to book value of AFS securities and fair value for mortgage loans.

 

  (G)

Represents the credit loss allowance adjustments subsequent to purchase accounting.

 

  (H)

Represents the revised amortization on the adjustment of the reserves to fair value, offset by the removal of historical amortization of negative VOBA, unearned revenue reserves, and deferred reinsurance gains.

 

  (I)

Represents the removal of historical DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization, offset by the amortization related to the newly established VOBA assets. The rate of DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization is correlated to the profitability of the Retirement Services businesses, and the amortization rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to higher profitability in the 2021 period, which was primarily driven by very strong alternative investment performance. Subsequent to the mergers, the expected amortization expense relating to the preliminary fair value of AHL’s VOBA asset is reflected in the table below:

  1.

Adjustment on the debt amortization to reflect the premium established at acquisition, offset by removal of the historical accretion of discounts;

 

  2.

Additional compensation cost of $21 million due to the issuance of replacement stock-based awards for the year ended December 31, 2020; and

 

  3.

Amortization of newly established intangible assets. Subsequent to the mergers, the expected amortization expense relating to the preliminary fair value of the acquired intangible assets (excluding goodwill and VOBA) is reflected in the table below:

9. Compensation Reset

These adjustments reflect the amortization expense related to the vesting of the new compensation arrangements and incentive programs. See Item 5.02 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.


SUMMARY UNAUDITED COMBINED NON-GAAP ADJUSTED OPERATING EARNINGS

AGM, which is an asset management business, currently has three business and reporting segments: credit, private equity and real assets. AHL’s business currently has one reportable segment, retirement services, and one non-reportable segment, corporate and other. After the completion of the mergers and the AGM corporate governance updates, HoldCo is expected to manage its business through three business and reporting segments: asset management, retirement services and principal investment.

Additionally, AGM and AHL currently present non-GAAP financial measures, some of which are presented below. The management team of AGM has not yet decided whether it will make any updates to these non-GAAP financial measures and references to any non-GAAP financial measure in this exhibit are not necessarily indicative of the non-GAAP measures that will be presented by HoldCo after the completion of the mergers and the AGM corporate governance updates.

AGM currently receives compensation from AHL pursuant to existing agreements for providing a full-suite of services to AHL’s retirement services businesses. These services include, but are not limited to, direct investment management, asset allocation, mergers and acquisition asset diligence, and various operational support services (such as investment compliance, tax, legal, and risk management support). After the completion of the mergers and the AGM corporate governance updates, it is anticipated that these contracts and the related fee terms will remain in place and HoldCo’s management team will continue to consider the related impacts when evaluating the performance of each line of business. Accordingly, it is anticipated that after the completion of the mergers and the AGM corporate governance updates, HoldCo’s businesses and non-GAAP performance measures will reflect the management fees under these contracts.

Definitions

“Fee Related Earnings,” or “FRE,” and “Distributable Earnings,” or “DE,” are non-GAAP key performance measures used by AGM’s management in evaluating the performance of AGM’s credit, private equity and real assets segments. These measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income /(loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. Class A Common stockholders as an indicator of operating performance. AGM’s management also believes the components of these measures, such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and net realized performance fees are indicative of AGM’s performance. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools in that they do not take into account certain items included under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of AGM’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, AGM relies primarily on its GAAP results and uses FRE and DE only supplementally. For a reconciliation of FRE and DE to net income /(loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. Class A Common stockholders, their most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, see the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures–AGM” beginning below.

“Segment DE”—Segment DE is the sum of (i) total management fees and advisory and transaction fees, (ii) other income(loss), net (iii) realized performance fees, excluding realizations received in the form of shares and (iv) realized investment income, net which includes dividends from our permanent capital vehicles, net of amounts to be distributed to certain employees as part of a dividend compensation program, less (x) compensation expense, excluding the expense related to equity-based awards, (y) realized profit sharing expense, and (z) non-compensation expenses. Segment DE represents the amount of AGM’s net realized earnings, excluding the effects of the consolidation of any of the related funds and special purpose acquisition companies, taxes and related payables, transaction-related charges and any acquisitions.

Transaction-related charges include 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 AGM, compensation and administrative related expense


reimbursements, as well as the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) that are included in AGM’s consolidated financial statements.

“Distributable Earnings” or “DE”–represents Segment DE less estimated current corporate, local and non-U.S. taxes as well as the current payable under AGM’s tax receivable agreement. DE is net of preferred dividends, if any, to the holders of AGM’s Series A preferred shares and Series B preferred shares. DE excludes the impact 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 AGM’s consolidated statements of operations under GAAP. Specifically, certain deductions considered in the income tax provision under GAAP, such as the deduction for transaction related charges and equity-based compensation, are taken into account for purposes of the implied tax provision. AGM’s 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 interpretations of tax law.

“Fee Related Earnings” or “FRE”–Fee Related Earnings or “FRE” is derived from AGM’s segment reported results and refers to a component of DE that is used as a supplemental performance measure to assess whether revenues that AGM’s management believes 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 and MidCap FinCo Designated Activity Company (“MidCap”) and (iv) other income (loss), 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 that are managed by subsidiaries of AGM.

“Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders”–Adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders is a non-GAAP measure used to evaluate our financial performance excluding market volatility and expenses related to integration, restructuring, stock compensation and other expenses. Our adjusted operating income (loss) available to common shareholders equals net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following (collectively, the non-operating adjustments:

 

  •  

Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets–Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the credit loss allowance, and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than CLOs) and investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, and the change in credit loss allowances recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments and the change in unit-linked reserves related to the corresponding trading securities. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) and guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) reserves (together, GLWB and GMDB reserves represent rider reserves) as well as the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.

 

  •  

Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives–FIAs, Net of Offsets–Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment, net of offsets related to DAC, DSI,


 

and VOBA amortization and changes to rider reserves. We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.

 

  •  

Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Expenses–Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs as well as certain other expenses, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.

 

  •  

Stock Compensation Expense–Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, excluding our long-term incentive plan, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.

 

  •  

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit–Non-operating–Consists of the income tax effect of non-operating adjustments and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to the non-operating adjustments that are subject to income tax.

Summary of unaudited combined non-GAAP pre-adjusted operating earnings and adjusted operating earnings

One factor that drives the Transaction Merger Adjustments is the elimination of existing DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization expense, offset by the addition of amortization expense related to the newly established VOBA assets. The rate of existing DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization is correlated to the profitability of the Retirement Services business. The higher profitability in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was primarily driven by very strong alternative investment performance, which was above AHL’s long-term return expectations for this asset class. Accordingly, the DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization rate in the nine months


ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, driving a higher Transaction Merger Adjustment for the nine months ended September 30, 2021.

(a)“Fee Related Earnings,” or “FRE,” and “Distributable Earnings,” or “DE,” are non-GAAP key performance measures used by AGM’s management in evaluating the performance of AGM’s credit, private equity and real assets segments. These measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income /(loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. Class A Common stockholders as an indicator of operating performance. AGM’s management also believes the components of these measures, such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and net realized performance fees are indicative of AGM’s performance. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools in that they do not take into account certain items included under U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”), and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of AGM’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, AGM relies primarily on its GAAP results and uses FRE and DE only supplementally, refer to the section “Reconciliation of Financial Measures—Summary Unaudited Combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Earnings” below.

(b) For the definition of FRE, see above. Historical non-GAAP FRE of $888 million and $1,041 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, is presented in the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures—AGM” below. See the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures —Unaudited Combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Earnings” below for a description of transaction merger adjustments.

(c) Net Realized Performance Fees refers to realized performance fees of $1,184 million and $281 million net of realized profit sharing expense of $600 million and $190 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and is presented in the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures—AGM” below. Realized performance fees refer to interests granted to subsidiaries of AGM by a fund managed by subsidiaries of AGM that entitle such subsidiaries to receive allocations, distributions or fees which are based on the performance of such fund or its underlying investments. Realized profit sharing expense primarily consist of a portion of realized performance fees earned from certain funds that are allocated to employees and former employees. There are no adjustments to Net Realized Performance Fees as a result of the Transaction.

(d) Balance Sheet and Investment Earnings represents realized principal investment income, net of $388 million and $23 million, respectively, and net interest loss and other of $105 million and $136 million for the nine


months ended September 30, 2021 and for the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as presented in the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures–AGM” below. There are no adjustments to Balance Sheet and Investment Earnings as a result of the Transaction.

(e) For the definition of Segment Distributable Earnings, see above.

(f) Pre-tax adjusted operating income equals Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders excluding AOG units, preferred stock dividends and income tax expense–operating.

(g) Total Pre-tax Adjusted Operating Earnings refers to the sum of asset management Segment Distributable Earnings and retirement services pre-tax adjusted operating income, including transaction merger adjustments. See the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures–Unaudited Combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Earnings” below for a description of the transaction merger adjustments.

(h) Taxes and related payables on asset management earnings reflect current corporate, local and non-US taxes as well as the current payable under AGM’s tax receivable agreement which excludes the impacts of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which arises from changes in estimated future tax rates. Certain deductions such as the deduction for transaction related charges and equity-based compensation are taken into account for purposes of the non-GAAP adjusted taxes and related payables. Taxes on retirement services operating income reflects the total current and deferred tax expense or benefit on income before taxes adjusted to eliminate the impact of the tax expense or benefit associated with the non-operating adjustments. Actual effective tax rate on pre-tax earnings may differ following the close of the mergers.

(i) Total After-Tax Adjusted Operating Earnings refers to Total Pre-tax adjusted operating earnings less taxes and related payables as defined in footnote (h) above less preferred dividends to the AGM Series A and Series B preferred stockholders less AHL Preferred Stock Dividends. See the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures–Unaudited Combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Earnings” below for a description of the transaction merger adjustments

(j) Adjusted Operating earnings shares consists of (1) 569 million and 569 million of HoldCo Shares outstanding as of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, after giving effect to the mergers and the AGM corporate governance updates as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020, (2) RSUs, RSAs, options and other equity consideration adjustments and (3) 20 million shares related to the Compensation Reset programs. For this share calculation of Total Adjusted Operating Earnings Shares outstanding, see the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures—Unaudited Adjusted Operating Earnings Shares” below.

(k) These transaction merger adjustments are derived from the unaudited pro forma combined financial information, giving effect to the mergers and the corporate governance updates as if they had occurred on January 1, 2020. Additionally, these transaction merger adjustments to non-GAAP earnings have important limitations in that they do not take into account certain items included under GAAP, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis as reported under GAAP and the combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Earnings measure should be used only supplementally. For (a) a reconciliation of Net income (loss) attributable to AGM Class A Common Stockholders to Segment Distributable Earnings, including transaction merger adjustments, (b) a reconciliation of Net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders to Pre-tax adjusted operating income, including transaction merger adjustments and (c) a reconciliation of Total after-tax adjusted operating earnings to the prior measures, see the section of this exhibit titled “Reconciliation of Financial Measures—Unaudited Combined Non-GAAP Adjusted Operating Earnings” below.

(a) Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders equals net income available to AHL common shareholders adjusted to eliminate the impact of the following non-operating adjustments:

 

  •  

Investment Gains (Losses), Net of Offsets–Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the credit loss allowance, and other investment gains and losses. Unrealized allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than CLOs) and investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, and the change in credit loss allowances recognized in operations net of the change in AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments and the change in unit-linked reserves related to the corresponding trading securities. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to guaranteed lifetime withdrawal benefit (GLWB) and guaranteed minimum death benefit (GMDB) reserves (together, GLWB and GMDB reserves represent rider reserves) as well as the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts.

 

  •  

Change in Fair Values of Derivatives and Embedded Derivatives–FIAs, Net of Offsets–Consists of impacts related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the


 

related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment, net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to rider reserves. We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes.

 

  •  

Integration, Restructuring, and Other Non-operating Expenses–Consists of restructuring and integration expenses related to acquisitions and block reinsurance costs as well as certain other expenses, which are not predictable or related to our underlying profitability drivers.

 

  •  

Stock Compensation Expense–Consists of stock compensation expenses associated with our share incentive plans, excluding our long-term incentive plan, which are not related to our underlying profitability drivers and fluctuate from time to time due to the structure of our plans.

 

  •  

Income Tax (Expense) Benefit–Non-operating–Consists of the income tax effect of non-operating adjustments and is computed by applying the appropriate jurisdiction’s tax rate to the non-operating adjustments that are subject to income tax.

(b) Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders, excluding AOG units, equals (a) Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders less (b) the change in fair value of AHL’s AOG units, net of tax.

(c) Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders excluding AOG units, Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders and Pre-tax adjusted operating income are non-GAAP key performance measures used by AHL’s management in evaluating the performance of AHL. These measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income available to AHL common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. These non-GAAP measures are intended to remove from the results of operations the impact of market volatility (other than with respect to alternative investments) as well as integration, restructuring and certain other expenses which are not part of AHL’s underlying profitability drivers, as such items fluctuate from period to period in a manner inconsistent with these drivers. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools in that they do not take into account certain items included under GAAP, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of AHL’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, AHL relies primarily on its GAAP results and uses Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders excluding AOG units, Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders and Pre-tax adjusted operating income only supplementally.

(d) Pre-tax Adjusted operating income equals Adjusted operating income available to common shareholders, excluding AOG units net of tax, less preferred stock dividends and income tax expense–operating.

  (A)

Represents the following Pro Forma GAAP adjustments for asset management.

 

  (1)

Represents the adjustment to record the GAAP elimination, in the consolidation of the AGM and AHL statements of operations, $405 million and $451 million of management fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, which AGM currently receives pursuant to existing agreements for providing a full-suite of services to AHL, and $4 million and $15 million of incentive fee revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively. After completion of the mergers and the corporate governance updates, it is anticipated that these contracts and the related fee terms will remain in place and HoldCo’s management team will continue to consider the related impacts when evaluating the performance of each line of business. Accordingly, it is anticipated that after the completion of the mergers, and the AGM corporate governance updates, HoldCo’s business and non-GAAP performance measures will reflect the management fees under these contracts.

 

  (2)

Elimination of $(1,414) million and $457 million mark-to-market (gains) losses related to AGM’s investment in AHL for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (3)

Reflects the impact of estimated non-recurring transaction costs of $42 million for AGM which are currently expensed as incurred for the year ended December 31, 2020.


  (4)

Represents the consolidation of additional investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM, and related eliminations, due to AGM and AHL’s combined interests in those funds and the reclassification of revenue and expenses related to historically consolidated variable interest entities into net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities. The consolidation of additional AGM-sponsored investment funds resulted in approximately $206 million and $50 million of net gains from investment activities of consolidated variable interest entities for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (5)

Represents the impact of Compensation Reset arrangements of $76 million and $102 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (B)

Pro Forma GAAP income before income tax provision of $5,650 million and $3,007 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, is comprised of Pro Forma GAAP income before income tax provision of $2,461 million and $450 million for asset management, and $3,189 million and $2,557 million for retirement services for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (C)

Represents the exclusion of (a) $65 million and $39 million of historical transaction-related charges for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, which include contingent consideration, equity-based compensation charges and the amortization of intangible assets and certain other charges associated with acquisitions, and restructuring charge and (b) $42 million of estimated non-recurring transaction costs for AGM for the year ended December 31, 2020 as noted above in footnote (a).

 

  (D)

Represents the exclusion of the historical operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements.Additionally, exclusion of transaction merger adjustments related to the consolidation of additional investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM due to AGM and AHL’s combined interests in those funds as noted above in footnote (a).

 

  (E)

Equity-based profit sharing expense and other includes certain profit sharing arrangements in which a portion of performance fees distributed to the general partner are allocated by issuance of equity-based awards, rather than cash, to employees of AGM. Equity-based profit sharing expense and other also includes non-cash expenses related to equity awards in unconsolidated related parties granted to employees of AGM.

 

  (F)

Represents the management fee adjustment related to investment management services that was reflected as a GAAP elimination in consolidation. After the completion of the mergers and the corporate governance updates, it is anticipated that these contracts and the related fee terms will remain in place and HoldCo’s management team will continue to consider the related impacts when evaluating the performance of each line of its business. Accordingly, it is anticipated that after the completion of the mergers and the corporate governance updates, HoldCo’s businesses and non-GAAP performance measures will reflect the management fees under these contracts that are received by HoldCo’s asset management business and paid by HoldCo’s retirement services business.

 

  (G)

Adjustment does not reflect $1,414 million mark-to-market gains and $457 million mark-to-market losses for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, as related to AGM’s investment in AHL as already excluded from Pro Forma GAAP Income Before Income Tax Provision.

 

  (H)

Segment Distributable Earnings,” “Pre-tax adjusted operating income,” “Total Pre-Tax Adjusted Operating Earnings” and “Total After-Tax Adjusted Operating Earnings” are non-GAAP key performance measures that AGM’s management expects to use in evaluating the performance of HoldCo’s asset management and retirement services businesses. These measures should not be construed as an alternative to net income /(loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, Inc. Class A common stockholders and net income (loss) available to AHL common shareholders as an indicator of operating performance. AGM’s management also believes the components of these measures, such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and net realized


  performance fees will be indicative of HoldCo’s performance. These measures have important limitations as analytical tools in that they do not take into account certain items included under GAAP, and you should not consider them in isolation or as substitutes for analysis of AGM’s and AHL’s results as reported under GAAP. Because of these limitations, it is expected that HoldCo will rely primarily on its GAAP results and uses these non-GAAP measures only supplementally.

Retirement Services Pro Forma GAAP Adjustments

   $ 340    $ 351
  

 

 

    

 

 

 

 

  (J)

Represents the adjustment primarily for less accretion of discounts on available-for-sale (AFS) securities and mortgage loans, resulting from adjustment to book value of AFS securities and fair value for mortgage loans.

 

  (K)

Represents the credit loss allowance adjustments subsequent to purchase accounting.

 

  (L)

Represents the revised amortization on the adjustment of the reserves to fair value, offset by the removal of historical amortization of negative VOBA, unearned revenue reserves, and deferred reinsurance gains.

 

  (M)

Represents the removal of historical DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization, offset by the amortization related to the newly established VOBA assets. The rate of DAC, DSI and VOBA amortization is correlated to the profitability of the Retirement Services businesses, and the amortization rate in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was higher than the rate for the year ended December 31, 2020, due to higher profitability in the 2021 period, which was primarily driven by very strong alternative investment performance.

 

  (N)

Represents the following:

 

  (1)

Adjustment on the debt amortization to reflect the premium established at acquisition, offset by removal of the historical accretion of discounts;

 

  (2)

Additional compensation cost of $21 million due to the issuance of replacement stock-based awards for the year ended December 31, 2020;

 

  (3)

Amortization of newly established intangible assets, and;

 

  (4)

Reflects the impact of the estimated non-recurring transaction costs of $15 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, for AHL which are currently expensed as incurred.

  (P)

  (R)

Represents the following:

 

  (1)

$85 million of historical inclusions and $(393) million historical exclusions of non-controlling interests on a pre-tax basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively;

 

  (2)

$(68) million and $(146) million of additional exclusions for non-controlling interests on a pre-tax basis attributable to ACRA for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, primarily related to certain of the transaction related merger adjustments as described in footnote (i) above; and

 

  (3)

$102 million and $44 million of additional inclusions for non-controlling interests related to the consolidation of additional investment funds managed by subsidiaries of AGM, and related eliminations, due to AGM and AHL’s combined interest in those funds for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

  (T)

Consists of impacts, net of non-controlling interests related to the fair value accounting for derivatives hedging the FIA index credits and the related embedded derivative liability fluctuations from period to period. The index reserve is measured at fair value for the current period and all periods beyond the current policyholder index term. However, the FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to hedge only the current index period. Upon policyholder renewal at the end of the period, new FIA hedging derivatives are purchased to align with the new term. The difference in duration between the FIA hedging derivatives and the index credit reserves creates a timing difference in earnings. This timing difference of the FIA hedging derivatives and index credit reserves is included as a non-operating adjustment, net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to rider reserves. We primarily hedge with options that align with the index terms of our FIA products (typically 1–2 years). On an economic basis, we believe this is suitable because policyholder accounts are credited with index performance at the end of each index term. However, because the term of an embedded derivative in an FIA contract is longer-dated, there is a duration mismatch which may lead to mismatches for accounting purposes. Represents the following:

 

  (1)

$(490) million exclusion and $235 million inclusion of historical non-operating adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively,and;

 

  (2)

$(215) million exclusion and $78 million inclusion for additional non-operating adjustments related to transaction merger adjustments for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (U)

Consists of the realized gains and losses on the sale of AFS securities, the change in fair value of reinsurance assets, unrealized gains and losses, changes in the credit loss allowance, and other investment gains and losses, net of non-controlling interests. Unrealized, allowances and other investment gains and losses are comprised of the fair value adjustments of trading securities (other than CLOs) and investments held under the fair value option, derivative gains and losses not hedging FIA index credits, and the change in credit loss allowances recognized in operations net of the change in


  AmerUs Closed Block fair value reserve related to the corresponding change in fair value of investments and the change in unit linked reserves related to the corresponding trading securities. Investment gains and losses are net of offsets related to DAC, DSI, and VOBA amortization and changes to GLWB and GMDB reserves (together, GLWB and GMDB reserves represent rider reserves) as well as the MVAs associated with surrenders or terminations of contracts. Represents the following:

 

  (1)

$86 million inclusion and $(508) million exclusion of historical investment gains and losses net of offsets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, and;

 

  (2)

$(28) million and $(43) million exclusions of additional investment gains related to transaction merger adjustments, net of offsets for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

  (V)

Total Pre-tax Adjusted Operating Earnings refers to the sum of our asset management Segment Distributable Earnings and our retirement services pre-tax adjusted operating income, including transaction merger adjustments.

 

  (W)

Taxes and related payables on asset management earnings reflect current corporate, local and non-US taxes as well as the current payable under AGM’s tax receivable agreement which excludes the impacts of the remeasurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities which arises from changes in estimated future tax rates. Certain deductions such as the deduction for transaction related charges and equity-based compensation are taken into account for purposes of the Non-GAAP Adjusted taxes and related payables.
