Manager Commentary

As of December 31, 2019 (unaudited)

Dear Shareholders,

We would like to start by saying thank you for your interest in the Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and the Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (the “Funds”). We appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed with us through your investment in the Funds.

Combining a very robust start to the year with incremental and steady gains over the balance, 2019 proved to be a strong period for returns across all US corporate credit markets, including the US leveraged loan market and particularly for the fixed-rate US high-yield market. The latter benefited from a number of bullish themes, including oversold conditions in late 2018 from both a technical and valuation perspective, strong economic trends in the US which benefited refinancing activity and have continued to keep the default experience across the leveraged finance markets low, and substantially lower US treasury yields over the course of 2019, on the back of accommodation from the Federal Reserve, which acted as a tailwind for all US fixed income markets. While the trajectory of lower rates complicated technical conditions in the US leveraged loan market by compelling retail investors to withdraw funds from open-ended loan mutual funds, this market also generated strong returns over 2019 despite the lack of the corresponding rate catalyst. The loan market shared some of the positive themes that benefitted high-yield in 2019, primarily the benign and favorable fundamental environment which has kept default rates near their historical lows for a considerable period of time. And while technicals here were more difficult as it relates to retail demand, Collateralized Loan Obligation (“CLO”) creation was quite strong over the full year and, without the difficult comparison to 2018, would’ve represented a new record, as $119Bn across nearly 250 new deals priced over the period. This represents another example across an array of data points highlighting consistent and healthy demand for the yield generated in the US loan and bond markets.

For most of 2019, the most meaningful theme in the US leveraged finance markets was dispersion, or the outperformance of higher-rated debt compared to lower-rated debt. This is an element of a theme that in one form or another has existed across nearly all capital markets, globally, for some time; the effect of capital seeking yield against the backdrop of an investing community concerned about where we are in the credit cycle. The element of this theme unique to last year was the underperformance of lower-rated debt concurrent with the strong positive performance of risk assets in other markets, most notably stocks, where the S&P 500 finished 2019 +28.9%. As represented by the J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index, triple-C bond returns on the year were +11.3% vs. +14.1% for the complete high-yield index; similar disparities exist when comparing returns for the double-B and single-B ratings categories in the loan and bond markets. Notably, until roughly mid-November these disparities were much wider, with higher-rated debt extremely well bid and various categories of lower-rated debt lagging from a performance perspective on different demand characteristics. These kinds of conditions can create meaningfully favorable investing conditions for the Funds. As they are not subject to capital flows or constrained to invest in benchmarks determined by liquidity, there exist opportunities to take advantage of conditions unavailable to Exchange Traded Funds (“ETFs”) or other open-ended mutual funds.

The primary impact of the general demand for higher-rated paper across fixed income has been to drive yields to levels that are near cycle lows. In early October, the yield to maturity on the double-B portion of the J.P. Morgan Leveraged Loan Index hit 4.10%, the low for 2019 and also (aided by what were essentially the lows for LIBOR) a low for the last 3 year period (at the same point, the yield to maturity in the double-B portion of the J.P. Morgan Domestic High Yield Index hit 4.62%, also well below its 3 year average). This is particularly true in the parts of the market considered to be liquid, where ETFs are in certain instances nearly blindly buying risk that fits a certain profile. A consequence of these market dynamics has been that valuations for debt that does not as easily fit this profile, or requires a greater amount of fundamental analysis, is experiencing less of the froth that caught up much of the fixed income markets into the end of 2019. While the improvement in market conditions from December of 2018 to the same month in 2019 has been profound, the specifics and vagaries of the US leveraged finance market continue to provide opportunities for the Funds.

A good example of this CLO selling of lower-rated debt is in the fourth quarter of 2019. CLOs as structures work in a manner that is very formulaic; the purpose of this is to protect, in theory, debt investors in the CLO from higher probabilities of impairment by forcing managers to react to changing portfolios in specified ways. In practice, CLO managers get ahead of, or manage to tests in order to retain their access to debt capital in some ways that could be interpreted as irrational; a good example of this is the selling of loans at substantial discounts to perceived fair value in order to improve a test tied to the ratings on a broader portfolio. In October and November, this happened at a more substantial rate than is normally experienced, forcing prices lower for debt in this ratings category; from the end of the third quarter until the low of November 6th, prices on single-B loans (using the S&P sub-index) fell-1.2 points to a 12 month low of 95.77 on exactly this kind of selling. While this doesn’t create a universally attractive opportunity, forced

selling either on behalf of mutual funds seeing outflows in late 2018 or CLOs reacting to prescribed tests in the 4th quarter of 2019, when it happens for reasons that are indiscriminate, creates opportunities for investment that have a higher probability of being attractive. Going forward, we anticipate these kinds of events to happen with greater regularity. In last year’s shareholder letter we explicitly noted that “it’s reasonable to expect we are closer to the threshold for flagging economic growth than would have been contemplated” earlier. While we continue to believe this is true, we were not alone in being wrong about our proximity to the cycle. However, with these concerns outstanding, we remain of the opinion that periods of volatility should occur with more regularity and, as valuations become stretched, will be of greater magnitude. It will become increasingly important to utilize the correct structure to invest in the leveraged finance markets, and we continue to believe that there is great value in the structure of the Funds. And, as we have continued to stress, we would view periods of volatility created by technicals as moments of opportunity for the Funds.

We appreciate your interest and support in the Funds. If you have any questions about the Funds, please call1-877-864-4834, or visit our website at www.apollofunds.com.

Sincerely,

Apollo Credit Management, LLC

^(a)  “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is below investment grade as well as investments with similar economic characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and, unless otherwise indicated, are required to pay interest at floating rates that are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. In some instances, the rates shown represent the weighted average rate as of December 31, 2019. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often incorporate certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity.

^(b)  All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date and therefore are subject to change.

^(c)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). The interest rate is subject to a minimum floor, which may be less than or greater than the prevailing period end LIBOR/Prime rate. As of December 31, 2019, the 1, 2, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.76%, 1.83%, 1.91% and 1.91%, respectively, and the Prime lending rate was 4.75%. Senior Loans may contain multiple contracts of the same issuer which may be subject to base lending rates of both LIBOR and Prime (“Variable”) in addition to the stated spread.

^(d)  Fair Value Level 3 security.

^(e)  Foreign risk exposure traded in U.S. dollars.

^(f)  Represents apayment-in-kind (“PIK”) security, which may pay interest in additional principal amount/share quantity.

^(g)  The issuer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as of March 10, 2019.

^(h)  The issuer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as of July 11, 2019.

⁽ⁱ⁾  Fixed rate asset.

^(j)  Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2019, these securities amounted to $24,424,631, or 9.26% of net assets.

^(k) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of July 5, 2018.

^(l)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015.

^(m)  Non-income producing asset.

⁽ⁿ⁾  The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.

^(o)  Principal of $141,000,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $198,017.

Schedule of Investments (continued)

December 31, 2019

^(a)  “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is below investment grade as well as investments with similar economic characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and, unless otherwise indicated, are required to pay interest at floating rates that are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. In some instances, the rates shown represent the weighted average rate as of December 31, 2019. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often incorporate certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity.

^(b)  All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date and therefore are subject to change.

^(c)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks (“Prime”). The interest rate is subject to a minimum floor, which may be less than or greater than the prevailing period end LIBOR/Prime rate. As of December 31, 2019, the 1, 2, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.76%, 1.83%, 1.91% and 1.91%, respectively, and the Prime lending rate was 4.75%. Senior Loans may contain multiple contracts of the same issuer which may be subject to base lending rates of both LIBOR and Prime (“Variable”) in addition to the stated spread.

^(d)  Fair Value Level 3 security.

^(e)  Foreign risk exposure traded in U.S. dollars.

^(f)  Represents apayment-in-kind (“PIK”) security, which may pay interest in additional principal amount/share quantity.

^(g)  The issuer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as of March 10, 2019.

^(h)  The issuer has filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection as of July 11, 2019.

⁽ⁱ⁾  Fixed rate asset.

^(j)  Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At December 31, 2019, these securities amounted to $107,118,850, or 43.95% of net assets.

^(k)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of July 5, 2018.

^(l)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015.

^(m)  Non-income producing asset.

⁽ⁿ⁾  The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.

^(o)  Principal of $126,500,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $53,951.

^(p)  Structured Products include collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). A CLO typically takes the form of a financing company (generally called a special purpose vehicle or “SPV”), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying CLOs are often Senior Loans or corporate notes and bonds, the assets may also include (j) subordinated loans; (ii) debt tranches of other CLOs; and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in Senior Loans. The Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLOs, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral ornon-payment of interest than more senior tranches of the CLO. A key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV and the redemption of these securities typically takes place at maturity out of the cash flow generated by the collected claims.

^(q)  Floating rate asset. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at December 31, 2019.

Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.

Notes to Financial Statements

December 31, 2019

Note 1. Organization and Operation

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. (“AFT”) and Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (“AIF”) (individually, a “Fund” or, together, the “Funds”) are corporations organized under the laws of the State of Maryland and registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “Investment Company Act”) as diversified,closed-end management investment companies. AFT and AIF commenced operations on February 23, 2011 and February 25, 2013, respectively. Prior to that, the Funds had no operations other than matters relating to their organization and the sale and issuance of 5,236 shares of common stock in each Fund to Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Adviser”) at a price of $19.10 per share. The Adviser serves as the Funds’ investment adviser and is an affiliate of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM”). The Funds’ common shares are listed on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and trade under the symbols “AFT” and “AIF”, respectively.

Investment Objective

AFT’s investment objective is to seek current income and preservation of capital. AFT seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing primarily in senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade (“Senior Loans”) and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. Senior Loans are typically made to U.S. and, to a limited extent,non-U.S. corporations, partnerships and other business entities (“Borrower(s)”) that operate in various industries and geographical regions. AFT seeks to generate current income and preservation of capital through a disciplined approach to credit selection and under normal market conditions will invest at least 80% of its managed assets in floating rate Senior Loans and investments with similar economic characteristics. This policy and AFT’s investment objective are not fundamental and may be changed by the board of directors of AFT with at least 60 days’ prior written notice provided to shareholders. Part of AFT’s investment objective is to seek preservation of capital. AFT’s ability to achieve capital preservation may be limited by its investment in credit instruments that have speculative characteristics. There can be no assurance that AFT will achieve its investment objective.

AIF’s primary investment objective is to seek current income with a secondary objective of preservation of capital. AIF seeks to achieve its investment objectives primarily by allocating its assets among different types of credit instruments based on absolute and relative value considerations and its analysis of the credit markets. This ability to dynamically allocate AIF’s assets may result in AIF’s portfolio becoming concentrated in a particular type of credit instrument (such as Senior Loans or high yield corporate bonds) and substantially less invested in other types of credit instruments. Under normal market conditions, at least 80% of AIF’s managed assets will be invested in credit instruments and investments with similar economic characteristics. For purposes of this policy, “credit instruments” will include Senior Loans, subordinated loans, high yield corporate bonds, notes, bills, debentures, distressed securities, mezzanine securities, structured products (including, without limitation, collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and asset-backed securities), bank loans, corporate loans, convertible and preferred securities, government and municipal obligations, mortgage-backed securities, repurchase agreements, and other fixed-income instruments of a similar nature that may be represented by derivatives such as options, forwards, futures contracts or swap agreements. This policy and AIF’s investment objectives are not fundamental and may be changed by the board of directors of AIF (together with the board of directors of AFT, the “Board of Directors” or “Board”) with at least 60 days’ prior written notice provided to shareholders. AIF will seek to preserve capital to the extent consistent with its primary investment objective. AIF’s ability to achieve capital preservation may be limited by its investment in credit instruments that have speculative characteristics. There can be no assurance that AIF will achieve its investment objectives.

Note 2. Significant Accounting Policies

The Funds are investment companies that follow the accounting and reporting guidance of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 applicable to investment companies. The Funds’ financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”), which require

management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Actual results may differ from those estimates.

Fund Valuation

Each Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) per share will be determined daily generally as of 4:00 pm on each day that the NYSE is open for trading, or at other times as determined by the Board. The NAV of each Fund’s common shares is the total assets of the Fund (including all securities, cash and other assets) minus the sum of the Fund’s total liabilities (including accrued expenses, dividends payable, borrowings and the liquidation value of any preferred stock) divided by the total number of common shares of the Fund outstanding.

Security Valuation

The Funds value their investments primarily using the mean of the bid and ask prices provided by a nationally recognized security pricing service or broker. Senior Loans, corporate notes and bonds, common stock, structured products and preferred stock are priced based on valuations provided by an approved independent pricing service or broker, if available. If market or broker quotations are not available, or a price is not available from an independent pricing service or broker, or if the price provided by the independent pricing service or broker is believed to be unreliable, the security will be fair valued pursuant to procedures adopted by the Board. In general, the fair value of a security is the amount that the Funds might reasonably expect to receive upon the sale of an asset or pay to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between willing market participants at the reporting date. Fair value procedures generally take into account any factors deemed relevant, which may include, among others, (i) the nature and pricing history of the security, (ii) the liquidity or illiquidity of the market for the particular security, (iii) recent purchases or sales transactions for the particular security or similar securities and (iv) press releases and other information published about the issuer. In these cases, a Fund’s NAV will reflect the affected portfolio securities’ fair value as determined in the judgment of the Board or its designee instead of being determined by the market. Using a fair value pricing methodology to value securities may result in a value that is different from a security’s most recent sale price and from the prices used by other investment companies to calculate their NAV. Determination of fair value is uncertain because it involves subjective judgments and estimates. There can be no assurance that a Fund’s valuation of a security will not differ from the amount that it realizes upon the sale of such security.

Fair Value Measurements

Each Fund has performed an analysis of all existing investments to determine the significance and character of all inputs to their fair value determination. The levels of fair value inputs used to measure the Funds’ investments are characterized into a fair value hierarchy. The three levels of the fair value hierarchy are described below:

Level 1 — Quoted unadjusted prices for identical assets and liabilities in active markets to which the Funds have access at the date of measurement;

Level 2 — Quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active, but are valued based on executed trades, broker quotations that constitute an executable price, and alternative pricing sources supported by observable inputs which, in each case, are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset in connection with market data at the measurement date; and

Level 3 — Model derived valuations in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable. In certain cases, investments classified within Level 3 may include securities for which the Funds have obtained indicative quotes from broker-dealers that do not necessarily represent prices the broker may be willing to trade on, as such quotes can be subject to material management judgment. Unobservable inputs are those inputs that reflect the Funds’ own assumptions that market participants would use to price the asset or liability based on the best available information.

At the end of each reporting period, management evaluates the Level 2 and Level 3 assets, if any, for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from independent pricing services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market.

^(a)  For the assets which have multiple valuation techniques, the Fund may rely on the techniques individually or in aggregate based on a weight ranging from 0-100%.

^(b)  The Fund utilized a recoverability approach to fair value these securities, specifically a liquidation analysis. There are various, company specific inputs used in the valuation analysis that relate to the liquidation value of a company’s assets. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model were estimated proceeds. Significant increases or decreases in the input in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

^(c)  The Fund utilized a transaction approach to fair value this security. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model were total enterprise value (“TEV”) and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”). Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

^(d)  The Fund utilized a guideline public company method to fair value this security. The significant unobservable inputs used in the valuation model were TEV and EBITDA based on comparable multiples for a similar investment with similar risks. Significant increases or decreases in either of these inputs in isolation may result in a significantly higher or lower fair value measurement.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents of the Funds consist of cash held in bank accounts and liquid investments with maturities, at the date of acquisition, not exceeding 90 days that, at times, may exceed federally insured limits. As of December 31, 2019, cash and cash equivalents were comprised of cash deposited with U.S. financial institutions in which carrying value approximated fair value and are considered to be Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy.

Industry Classifications

The industry classifications of the Funds’ investments, as presented in the accompanying Schedules of Investments, represent management’s belief as to the most meaningful presentation of the classification of such investments. For Fund compliance purposes, the Funds’ industry classifications refer to any one or more of the industrysub-classifications used by one or more widely recognized market indexes or rating group indexes, with the primary source being Moody’s, and/or as defined by the Funds’ management. These definitions may not apply for purposes of this report, which may combine industrysub-classifications.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Funds’ assets and liabilities that qualify as financial instruments under U.S. GAAP approximates the carrying amounts presented in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities.

Securities Transactions and Investment Income

Securities transactions of the Funds are recorded on the trade date for financial reporting purposes. Cost is determined based on consideration given, and the unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) on investment securities is the difference between fair value determined in compliance with the valuation policy approved by the Board and the cost. Realized gains and losses from securities transactions and foreign currency transactions, if any, are recorded on the basis of identified cost and stated separately in the Statements of Operations. Interest and dividend income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes the accretion of original issue discounts and amortization of premiums where applicable using the effective interest rate method over the lives of the respective debt securities.

The Funds hold investments that have designatedpayment-in-kind (“PIK”) interest. PIK interest is included in interest income and reflected as a receivable in accrued interest up to the payment date. On payment dates, the Funds capitalize the accrued interest receivable as an additional investment and mark it at the fair value associated with the position.

U.S. Federal Income Tax Status

The Funds intend to maintain their status each year as regulated investment companies under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, applicable to regulated investment companies and will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net capital gains, if any, for their tax years. The Funds may elect to incur excise tax if it is deemed prudent by the Board from a cash management perspective or in the best interest of shareholders due to other facts and circumstances. For the year ended December 31, 2019, AFT and AIF did not record a U.S. federal excise tax provision. The Funds did not pay any excise tax during 2019 related to the 2018 tax year. No federal income tax provision or excise tax provision is required for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The Funds have followed the authoritative guidance on accounting for and disclosure of uncertainty in tax positions, which requires the Funds to determine whether a tax position is more likely than not to be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. The Funds have determined that there was no material effect on the financial statements from following this authoritative guidance. In the normal course of business, the Funds are subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions, where applicable, for tax years for which applicable statutes of limitations have not expired. The statute of limitations on AFT’s federal and state tax filings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2016 to 2019. The statute of limitations on AIF’s federal and state fillings remains open for the years ended December 31, 2016 to 2019.

Distributions to Common Shareholders

The Funds intend to make regular monthly cash distributions of all or a portion of their net investment income available to common shareholders. The Funds intend to pay common shareholders at least annually all or substantially all of their capital gains and net investment income after the payment of dividends and interest owed with respect to outstanding preferred shares and/or notes or other forms of leverage utilized by the Funds, although for cash management purposes, the Funds may elect to retain distributable amounts and pay excise tax as described above. If the Funds make a long-term capital gain distribution, they will be required to allocate such gain between the common shares and any preferred shares issued by the Funds in proportion to the total dividends paid to each class for the year in which the income is realized.

The distributions for any full or partial year might not be made in equal amounts, and one distribution may be larger than the other. The Funds will make a distribution only if authorized by the Board and declared by the Funds out of assets legally available for these distributions. The Funds may pay a special distribution at the end of each calendar year, if necessary, to comply with U.S. federal income tax requirements. This distribution policy may, under certain circumstances, have certain adverse consequences to the Funds and their shareholders because it may result in a return of capital to shareholders, which would reduce the Funds’ NAV and, over time, potentially increase the Funds’ expense ratios. If the Funds distribute a return of capital, it means that the Funds are returning to shareholders a portion of their investment rather than making a distribution that is funded from the Funds’ earned income or other profits. The Board may elect to change AFT’s or AIF’s distribution policy at any time.

Asset Segregation

In accordance with the Investment Company Act and various SEC and SEC staff interpretive positions, a Fund may “set aside” liquid assets (often referred to as “asset segregation”), or engage in measures in accordance with SEC or Staff guidance, to “cover” open positions with respect to certain kinds of financial instruments that could otherwise be considered “senior securities” as defined in Section 18(g) of the Investment Company Act. With respect to certain derivative contracts that are contractually required to cash settle, for example, a Fund is permitted to set aside liquid assets in an amount equal to the Fund’s dailymarked-to-market net obligations (i.e., the Fund’s daily net liability) under the contracts, if any, rather than such contracts’ full notional value. In other circumstances, a Fund may be required to set aside liquid assets equal to such a financial instrument’s full notional value, or enter into appropriate offsetting transactions, while the position is open. Each Fund reserves the right to modify its asset segregation policies in the future to comply with any changes in the positions from time to time announced by the SEC or its staff regarding asset segregation. These segregation and coverage requirements could result in a Fund maintaining securities positions that it would otherwise liquidate, segregating assets at a time when it might be disadvantageous to do so or otherwise restricting portfolio management. Such segregation and coverage requirements will not limit or offset losses on related positions.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update2018-13 “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement” which modifies disclosure requirements for fair value measurements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 and for interim period within those fiscal years. As of December 31, 2019, the Funds have fully adopted the provisions of the 2018-13 Accounting Standards Update, which did not have a significant impact on the Funds’ financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 3. Investment Advisory, Administration and Other Agreements with Affiliates

Investment Advisory Fee

The Adviser provides certain investment advisory, management and administrative services to the Funds pursuant to investment advisory and management agreements with each of the Funds. For its services, each Fund pays the Adviser monthly at the annual rate of 1.0% of the average daily value of the Fund’s managed assets. Managed assets are defined as the total assets of a Fund (including any assets attributable to any preferred shares that may be issued or to money borrowed or notes issued by the Fund) minus the sum of the Fund’s accrued liabilities, including accrued interest and accumulated dividends (other than liabilities for money borrowed (including the liquidation preference of preferred shares) or notes issued). The Adviser may elect from time to time, in its sole discretion, to waive its receipt of

Annual Report  |  39

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

December 31, 2019

the advisory fee from a Fund. If the Adviser elects to waive its compensation, such action may have a positive effect on the Fund’s performance or yield. The Adviser is under no obligation to waive its fees, may elect not to do so, may decide to waive its compensation periodically or may decide to waive its compensation on only one of the Funds at any given time. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Adviser earned fees of $4,030,100 and $3,670,685 from AFT and AIF, respectively.

Administrative Services and Expense Reimbursements

The Funds and the Adviser have entered into Administrative Services and Expense Reimbursement Agreements pursuant to which the Adviser provides certain administrative services, personnel and facilities to the Funds and performs operational services necessary for the operation of the Funds not otherwise provided by other service providers of the Funds. These services may include, without limitation, certain bookkeeping and recordkeeping services, compliance and legal services, investor relations assistance, and accounting and auditing support. Pursuant to these agreements, the Funds will reimburse the Adviser at cost, at the Adviser’s request, for certain costs and expenses incurred by the Adviser that are necessary for the administration and operation of the Funds. In addition, the Adviser or one of its affiliates may pay certain expenses on behalf of the Funds and then allocate these expenses to the Funds for reimbursement. For the year ended December 31, 2019, the Adviser provided services under these agreements totaling $806,805 and $801,110 for AFT and AIF, respectively, which is shown in the Statements of Operations as administrative services of the Adviser. Included in these amounts is approximately $79,000 and $79,000 for AFT and AIF, respectively, of remuneration for officers of the Funds. The Adviser did not waive the right to expense reimbursements and investment advisory fees for either Fund during the year ended December 31, 2019.

Each Fund has entered into separate agreements with U.S. Bancorp Fund Services, LLC, d/b/a U.S. Bank Global Fund Services, to provide accounting and administrative services, as well as separate agreements with U.S. Bank National Association to provide custodial services (together “U.S. Bank”), effective March 1, 2019. Under the terms of the agreements, U.S. Bank is responsible for providing services necessary in the daily operations of the Funds such as maintaining the Funds’ books and records, calculating the Funds’ NAV, settling all portfolio trades, preparing regulatory filings and acting as the corporate secretary. Each Fund has also entered into separate agreements with American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC (“AST”), to serve as the Fund’s transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and reinvestment plan administrator, effective March 1, 2019. Prior to March 1, 2019, The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) provided certain administrative services necessary for the operation of the Funds, including maintaining the Funds’ books and records, providing accounting services and preparing regulatory filings. BNY Mellon also served as the Funds’ custodian. BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc. (“BNYMIS”) served as the Funds’ transfer agent. U.S. Bank, AST, BNY Mellon and BNYMIS provided services totaling $173,940 and $164,062 for AFT and AIF, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019, which are included in fund administration and accounting services in the Statements of Operations.

Board of Directors Fees

On an annual basis, AFT and AIF pay each member of the Board who is not an “interested person” (as defined in the Investment Company Act) (an “Independent Board Member”) of the Funds an annual retainer of $18,000 per Fund, plus $2,000 for eachin-person Board meeting of a single Fund ($3,000, or $1,500 per Fund, for a joint meeting of both Funds), plus $1,000 for attendance at telephonic Board meetings of a single Fund or participation in special committee meetings of a single Fund not held in conjunction with regularly scheduled Board meetings ($1,500, or $750 per Fund, for a joint meeting of both Funds). In addition, the chairman of the audit committee receives $5,000 per year from each Fund. The Funds also reimburse Independent Board Members for travel andout-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with such meetings, and the Funds split the cost of such expenses for meetings involving both AFT and AIF. Included in the Statements of Operations in Board of Directors fees for the year ended December 31, 2019 is $134,841 and $134,841 of expenses related to the Board for each of AFT and AIF, respectively.

Senior Loans

Senior Loans are usually rated below investment grade and may also be unrated. As a result, the risks associated with Senior Loans are similar to the risks of below investment grade fixed income instruments, although Senior Loans are senior and secured, in contrast to other below investment grade fixed income instruments, which are often subordinated or unsecured. Investments in Senior Loans rated below investment grade are considered speculative because of the credit risk of their issuers. Such issuers are considered more likely than investment grade issuers to default on their payments of interest and principal owed to the Funds, and such defaults could reduce the Funds’ NAV and income distributions. An economic downturn would generally lead to a highernon-payment rate, and a Senior Loan may lose significant market value before a default occurs. Moreover, any specific collateral used to secure a Senior Loan may decline in value or become illiquid, which would adversely affect the Senior Loan’s value. Senior Loans are subject to a number of risks, including liquidity risk and the risk of investing in below investment grade fixed income instruments.

Senior Loans are subject to the risk ofnon-payment of scheduled interest or principal. Suchnon-payment would result in a reduction of income to the Funds, a reduction in the value of the investment and a potential decrease in the NAV of the Funds. There can be no assurance that the liquidation of any collateral securing a Senior Loan would satisfy the Borrower’s obligation in the event ofnon-payment of scheduled interest or principal payments, or that the collateral could be readily liquidated. In the event of bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower, the Funds could experience delays or limitations with respect to their ability to realize the benefits of the collateral securing a Senior Loan. The collateral securing a Senior Loan may lose all or substantially all of its value in the event of the bankruptcy or insolvency of a Borrower. Some Senior Loans are subject to the risk that a court, pursuant to fraudulent conveyance or other similar laws, could subordinate such Senior Loans to presently existing or future indebtedness of the Borrower or take other action detrimental to the holders of Senior Loans including, in certain circumstances, invalidating such Senior Loans or causing interest previously paid to be refunded to the Borrower.

There may be less readily available and reliable information about most Senior Loans than is the case for many other types of securities, including securities issued in transactions registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) or registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. As a result, the Adviser will rely primarily on its own evaluation of a Borrower’s credit quality, rather than on any available independent sources. Therefore, the Funds will be particularly dependent on the analytical abilities of the Adviser.

In general, the secondary trading market for Senior Loans is not well developed. No active trading market may exist for certain Senior Loans, which may make it difficult to value them. Illiquidity and adverse market conditions may mean that the Funds may not be able to sell Senior Loans quickly or at a fair price. To the extent that a secondary market does exist for certain Senior Loans, the market for them may be subject to irregular trading activity, wide bid/ask spreads and extended trade settlement periods.

Senior Loans are generally not registered under the 1933 Act and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the Borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which Borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown on the Schedules of Investments.

The Funds may acquire Senior Loans through assignments or participations. The purchaser of an assignment typically succeeds to all the rights and obligations of the assigning institution and becomes a lender under the credit agreement with respect to the debt obligation; however, the purchaser’s rights can be more restricted than those of the assigning institution, and the Funds may not be able to unilaterally enforce all rights and remedies under the loan and with regard to any associated collateral. In general, a participation is a contractual relationship only with the institution participating out the interest, not with the Borrower. Sellers of participations typically include banks, broker-dealers and other financial and lending institutions. In purchasing participations, the Funds generally will have no right to enforce compliance by the Borrower with the terms of the loan agreement against the Borrower, and the Funds may not directly benefit from the collateral supporting the debt obligation in which they have purchased the participation. As a result, the Funds will be exposed to the credit risk of both the Borrower and the institution selling the participation. Further, in purchasing participations in lending syndicates, the Funds will not be able to conduct the due diligence on the Borrower or the quality of the Senior Loan with respect to which they are buying a participation that the Funds would otherwise conduct if they were investing directly in the Senior Loan, which may result in the Funds being exposed to greater credit or fraud risk with respect to the Borrower or the Senior Loan.

Corporate Bonds

The Funds may invest in a wide variety of bonds of varying maturities issued by U.S. and foreign corporations, other business entities, governments and municipalities and other issuers. Corporate bonds are issued with varying features and may differ in the way that interest is calculated, the amount and frequency of payments, the type of collateral, if any, and the presence of special features (e.g., conversion rights, call rights or other rights of the issuer). The Funds’ investments in corporate bonds may include, but are not limited to, senior, junior, secured and unsecured bonds, notes and other debt securities, and may be fixed rate, variable rate or floating rate, among other things.

The Adviser expects most of the corporate bonds in which the Funds invest will be high yield bonds (commonly referred to as “junk” bonds). An issuer of corporate bonds typically pays the investor a fixed rate of interest and must repay the amount borrowed on or before maturity. The investment return of corporate bonds reflects interest on the security and changes in the market value of the security. The market value of a corporate bond generally may be expected to rise and fall inversely with interest rates. The value of intermediate and longer-term corporate bonds normally fluctuates more in response to changes in interest rates than does the value of shorter-term corporate bonds. The market value of a corporate bond also may be affected by investors’ perceptions of the creditworthiness of the issuer, the issuer’s performance and perceptions of the issuer in the marketplace.

Subordinated Loans

Subordinated loans generally are subject to similar risks as those associated with investments in Senior Loans, except that such loans are subordinated in payment and/or lower in lien priority to first lien holders. In the event of default on a subordinated loan, the first priority lien holder has first claim to the underlying collateral of the loan. Subordinated loans are subject to the additional risk that the cash flow of the Borrower and property securing the loan or debt, if any, may be insufficient to meet scheduled payments after giving effect to the senior unsecured or senior secured obligations of the Borrower. This risk is generally higher for subordinated unsecured loans or debt that are not backed by a security interest in any specific collateral. Subordinated loans generally have greater price volatility than Senior Loans and may be less liquid.

Structured Products

Investments in structured products involve risks, including credit risk and market risk. When the Funds’ investments in structured products (such as CDOs, CLOs and asset-backed securities) are based upon the movement of one or more factors, including currency exchange rates, interest rates, reference bonds (or loans) or stock indices, depending on

the factor used and the use of multipliers or deflators, changes in interest rates and movement of any factor may cause significant price fluctuations. Additionally, changes in the reference instrument or security may cause the interest rate on a structured product to be reduced to zero and any further changes in the reference instrument may then reduce the principal amount payable on maturity of the structured product. Structured products may be less liquid than other types of securities and more volatile than the reference instrument or security underlying the product.

The Funds may have the right to receive payments only from the structured product and generally do not have direct rights against the issuer or the entity that sold the assets to be securitized. While certain structured products enable the investor to acquire interests in a pool of securities without the brokerage and other expenses associated with directly holding the same securities, investors in structured products generally pay their share of the structured product’s administrative and other expenses. Although it is difficult to predict whether the prices of indices and securities underlying structured products will rise or fall, these prices (and, therefore, the prices of structured products) will be influenced by the same types of political and economic events that generally affect issuers of securities and capital markets. If the issuer of a structured product uses shorter-term financing to purchase longer-term securities, the issuer may be forced to sell its securities at below market prices if it experiences difficulty in obtaining short-term financing, which may adversely affect the value of the structured products owned by the Funds.

Certain structured products may be thinly traded or have a limited trading market. CLOs are typically privately offered and sold. As a result, investments in CLOs may be characterized by the Funds as illiquid securities. CLOs carry additional risks, including, but not limited to: (i) the possibility that distributions from collateral securities will not be adequate to make interest or other payments, (ii) the quality of the collateral may decline in value or default, (iii) the possibility that the investments in CLOs are subordinate to other classes or tranches of the CLOs and (iv) the complex structure of the security may not be fully understood at the time of investment and may produce disputes with the issuer or unexpected investment results.

LIBOR

A Fund may invest in certain debt securities, loans, derivatives or other credit or financial instruments that utilize the London Interbank Offered Rate, or “LIBOR,” as a “benchmark” or “reference rate” for variable various interest rate calculations. In July 2017, the United Kingdom Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, announced a desire to phase out the use of LIBOR by the end of 2021. Although financial regulators and industry working groups have suggested alternative reference rates, such as European Interbank Offer Rate, Sterling Overnight Interbank Average Rate and Secured Overnight Financing Rate, global consensus on alternative rates is lacking and the process for amending existing contracts or instruments to transition away from LIBOR remains unclear. The elimination of LIBOR or changes to other reference rates or any other changes or reforms to the determination or supervision of reference rates could have an adverse impact on the market for, or value of, any securities or payments linked to those reference rates, which may adversely affect a Fund’s performance and/or net asset value. Uncertainty and risk also remain regarding the willingness and ability of issuers and lenders to include revised provisions in new and existing contracts or instruments. Consequently, the transition away from LIBOR to other reference rates may lead to increased volatility and illiquidity in markets that are tied to LIBOR, fluctuations in values of LIBOR-related investments or investments in issuers that utilize LIBOR, increased difficulty in borrowing or refinancing and diminished effectiveness of hedging strategies, adversely affecting a Fund’s performance. Furthermore, the risks associated with the expected discontinuation of LIBOR and transition may be exacerbated if the work necessary to effect an orderly transition to an alternative reference rate is not completed in a timely manner. Because the usefulness of LIBOR as a benchmark could deteriorate during the transition period, these effects could occur prior to the end of 2021.

Note 7. Federal Tax Information

The timing and character of income and capital gain distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations, which may differ from U.S. GAAP. As a result, net investment income/(loss) and net realized gain/(loss) on investment transactions for a reporting period may differ significantly from distributions during such period.

Reclassifications are made to the Funds’ capital accounts at fiscal year end for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under income tax regulations.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, no permanent differences were identified.

Note 8. Credit Agreements and Preferred Shares

The Funds utilize leverage and may utilize leverage to the maximum extent permitted by law for investment and other general corporate purposes. The Funds may obtain leverage by issuing preferred shares and/or notes and may also borrow funds from banks and other financial institutions. The Funds may also gain leverage synthetically through swaps and other derivatives. The use of leverage to purchase additional securities creates an opportunity for increased common share dividends, but also creates risks for common shareholders, including increased variability of the Funds’ net income, distributions and/or NAV in relation to market changes. Leverage is a speculative technique that exposes the Funds to greater risk and increased costs than if it were not implemented. Increases and decreases in the value of the Funds’ portfolios will be magnified due to the use of leverage. In particular, leverage may magnify interest rate risk, which is the risk that the prices of portfolio securities will fall (or rise) if market interest rates for those types of securities rise (or fall). As a result, leverage may cause greater changes in the Funds’ NAV, which will be borne entirely by the Funds’ common shareholders. If the Funds issue preferred shares and/or notes or engage in other borrowings, they will have to pay dividends on their shares or interest on their notes or borrowings, which will increase expenses and may reduce the Funds’ return. These dividend payments or interest expenses (which will be borne entirely by the common shareholders) may be greater than the Funds’ return on the underlying investments. The Funds’ leveraging strategy may not be successful.

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc.

On March 1, 2019, AFT entered into an amended and restated credit facility (the “Amended Credit Facility”) with Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation (“SMBC”) as lender, which matures on March 1, 2021. Under the terms of the Amended Credit Facility, AFT may borrow a single term loan not to exceed $141,000,000. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 0.875%. AFT has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the Amended Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2019, AFT has $141,000,000 of principal outstanding under the Amended Credit Facility.

Prior to March 1, 2019, AFT had entered into a $150,000,000 credit facility (the “Prior Credit Facility”) with SMBC as lender. Borrowings under this facility bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus 1.05%. Under the terms of the Prior Credit Facility, AFT could borrow a single term loan not to exceed $112,500,000 (the “Prior Term Loan”) and could borrow up to an additional $37,500,000 on a revolving basis (the “Prior Revolving Loan”). AFT had granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the Prior Credit Facility. The unused portion of the Prior Revolving Loan was subject to a quarterly commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the average daily amount of available commitments.

For the year ended December 31, 2019, the average daily principal loan balance outstanding was $141,000,000, the weighted average annual interest rate was 3.21% and the interest expense, which is included on the Statements of Operations in interest and commitment fee expense, was $4,524,244.

The fair value of AFT’s borrowings under the Amended Credit Facility approximates the carrying amount presented in the accompanying Statements of Assets and Liabilities based on a yield analysis and remaining maturities for which AFT has determined would be categorized as Level 2 in the fair-value hierarchy.

The Amended Credit Facility contains certain customary affirmative and negative covenants, including limitations on debt, liens and restricted payments, as well as certain portfolio limitations and customary prepayment provisions, including a requirement to prepay loans or take certain other actions if certain asset value tests are not met. As of December 31, 2019, AFT was not aware of any instances ofnon-compliance related to the Amended Credit Facility.

In connection with AFT’s entry into the Amended Credit Facility, certain debt financing costs were incurred by AFT and are shown net of the principal amount in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. The deferred financing costs are amortized over the life of the credit facility. The amortization of the deferred financing costs is included in the Statements of Operations.

Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.

On April 20, 2018, AIF entered into a $133,000,000 credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) with SMBC as lender. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, AIF may borrow a single term loan not to exceed $125,000,000 (the “Term Loan”) and may borrow up to an additional $8,000,000 on a revolving basis (the “Revolving Loans”). AIF has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the Credit Facility. AIF may borrow on a revolving basis until April 20, 2020, at which time any loans outstanding under the Credit Facility must be repaid in full. The Fund pays SMBC a quarterly commitment fee equal to 0.15% per annum on the average daily amount of available commitments. As of December 31, 2019, $6,500,000 of the available revolving credit remains undrawn.

As of December 31, 2019, the Funds had unfunded loan commitments outstanding, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, as detailed below:

Borrower	AFT			AIF
Bleriot US Bidco, Inc.*		$	412,154		$	—

Note 11. Subsequent Events

Management has evaluated the impact of all subsequent events on the Funds through the date the financial statements were issued and has determined that the following subsequent events were disclosable:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors of

Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc.:

Opinion on the Financial Statements and Financial Highlights

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (collectively referred to as the “Funds”), including the schedules of investments, as of December 31, 2019, the related statements of operations and cash flows for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended, and the related notes. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of December 31, 2019, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the two years in the period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the five years in the period then ended in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of December 31, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian, agent banks, and brokers; when replies were not received from agent banks or brokers, we performed other auditing procedures. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Dividend Reinvestment Plan

Unless a shareholder specifically elects to receive common stock of the Funds as set forth below, all net investment income dividends and all capital gains distributions declared by the Board will be payable in cash.

A shareholder may elect to have net investment income dividends and capital gains distributions reinvested in common stock of the Funds. To exercise this option, such shareholder must notify AST, the plan administrator and the Funds’ transfer agent and registrar, in writing so that such notice is received by the plan administrator not less than 10 days prior to the record date fixed by the Board for the net investment income dividend and/or capital gains distribution involved.

The plan administrator will set up an account for shares acquired pursuant to the plan for each shareholder that elects to receive dividends and distributions in additional shares of common stock of the Funds (each a “Participant”). The plan administrator may hold each Participant’s shares, together with the shares of other Participants, innon-certificated form in the plan administrator’s name or that of its nominee.

The shares are acquired by the plan administrator for a participant’s account, depending upon the circumstances described below, either (i) through receipt of additional unissued but authorized shares of common stock from the Funds (“Newly Issued Shares”) or (ii) by purchase of outstanding shares of common stock on the open market (“Open-Market Purchases”) on the NYSE or elsewhere. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share of the common stock is equal to or less than the market price per share of the common stock plus estimated brokerage commissions (such condition being referred to as “market premium”), the plan administrator will invest the dividend amount in Newly Issued Shares on behalf of the Participant. The number of Newly Issued Shares of common stock to be credited to the Participant’s account will be determined by dividing the dollar amount of the dividend by the NAV per share on the date the shares are issued, unless the NAV is less than 95% of the then current market price per share, in which case the dollar amount of the dividend will be divided by 95% of the then current market price per share. If, on the dividend payment date, the NAV per share is greater than the market value (such condition being referred to as “market discount”), the plan administrator will invest the dividend amount in shares acquired on behalf of the Participant in Open-Market Purchases.

The plan administrator’s service fee, if any, and expenses for administering the plan will be paid for by the Funds. If a Participant elects by written notice to the plan administrator to have the plan administrator sell part or all of the shares held by the plan administrator in the Participant’s account and remit the proceeds to the Participant, the plan administrator is authorized to deduct a $15 transaction fee plus a 12¢ per share brokerage commission from the proceeds.

Shareholders who receive dividends in the form of stock are subject to the same federal, state and local tax consequences as are shareholders who elect to receive their dividends in cash. A shareholder’s basis for determining gain or loss upon the sale of stock received in a dividend from the Funds will be equal to the total dollar amount of the dividend payable to the shareholders. Any stock received in a dividend will have a new holding period for tax purposes commencing on the day following the day on which the shares are credited to the U.S. shareholder’s account.

Participants may terminate their accounts under the plan by notifying the plan administrator via its website at www.astfinancial.com, by filling out the transaction request form located at the bottom of the Participant’s statement and sending it to the plan administrator at American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, P.O. Box 922 Wall Street Station, New York, NY 10269-0560 or by calling the plan administrator at1-877-864-4834.

The plan may be terminated by the Funds upon notice in writing mailed to each Participant at least 30 days prior to any record date for the payment of any dividend or distribution by the Funds. All correspondence, including requests for additional information, concerning the plan should be directed to the plan administrator by mail at American Stock Transfer and Trust Company, LLC, 6201 15^th Avenue, Brooklyn NY 11219.

European Risk

The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in credit instruments issued by issuers domiciled in Europe, including issuers domiciled in the United Kingdom (“UK”). Investments in the Eurozone remain subject to the risks of substantial write-downs and reductions in the face value of the sovereign debt of certain countries and the possibility that one or more countries might leave the European Union or the Eurozone. Sovereign debt write-downs or defaults and European Union and/or Eurozone exits could have material adverse effects on investments by the Funds in securities of European companies, including but not limited to the availability of credit to support such companies’ financing needs, uncertainty and disruption in relation to financing, customer and supply contracts denominated in Euro and wider economic disruption in markets served by those companies, while measures that have been introduced in order to limit or contain these issues may themselves lead to economic contraction and result in adverse effects on the investments made by the Funds. Legal uncertainty about the funding of Euro denominated obligations following any breakup or exits from the Eurozone (particularly in the case of investments in securities of companies in affected countries) could also have material adverse effects on the Funds. The UK began its exit from the European Union (“Brexit”) on January 31, 2020 subject to a transitional period ending December 31, 2020. The uncertainty in the wake of the Brexit and subsequent political developments could have a negative impact on both the UK economy and the economies of other countries in Europe. Brexit could lead to legal uncertainty and politically divergent national laws and regulations as a new relationship between the UK and European Union is defined and the UK determines which European Union laws to replace or replicate. The Brexit process also may lead to greater volatility in the global currency and financial markets, which could adversely affect the Funds. Global central banks may maintain historically low interest rates longer than was anticipated, which could adversely affect the ability of the Funds to achieve their investment objectives.

Shareholder Tax Information

The Funds are required by Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code to advise their shareholders of the U.S. Federal tax status of distributions received by the Funds’ shareholders in respect of such fiscal year. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019, the percentage of qualified interest income related dividends not subject to withholding tax fornon-resident aliens and foreign corporations for Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. were 89.07% and 81.77%, respectively.

Item 7. Disclosure of Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures forClosed-End Management Investment Companies.

The Proxy Voting Policies are included in this Item.

Proxy Voting Policies and Procedures

of

Apollo Credit Management, LLC

SEC registered advisers that have the authority to vote client proxies (which authority may be implied from a general grant of investment discretion) are required to adopt policies and procedures (i) reasonably designed to ensure that the adviser votes proxies in the best interests of its clients and (ii) that include how the adviser addresses material conflicts that may arise between the adviser’s interests and those of its clients. It is expected that, in most cases, Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “adviser”) will invest the assets of its clients in securities that do not generally carry voting rights. When a client account does have voting rights in a security, it follows the proxy voting policies and procedures summarized below:

In determining how to vote, officers of the adviser will consult with each other and other investment professionals affiliated with the adviser, taking into account the interests of the adviser’s clients and investors as well as any potential conflicts of interest. The adviser will consult with legal counsel to identify potential conflicts of interest. Where a potential conflict of interest exists, the adviser may, if it so elects, resolve it by following the recommendation of a disinterested third party, including by seeking the direction of the independent directors of the client or, in extreme cases, by abstaining from voting. While the adviser may retain an outside service to provide voting recommendations and to assist in analyzing votes, the adviser does not expect to delegate its voting authority to any third party.

An officer of the adviser will keep a written record of how all such proxies are voted. The adviser will retain records of (1) proxy voting policies and procedures, (2) all proxy statements received (or it may rely on proxy statements filed on the SEC’s EDGAR system in lieu thereof), (3) all votes cast, (4) investor requests for voting information, and (5) any specific documents prepared or received in connection with a decision on a proxy vote. If it uses an outside service, the adviser may rely on such

service to maintain copies of proxy statements and records, so long as such service will provide a copy of such documents promptly upon request.

The adviser’s proxy voting policies are not exhaustive and are designed to be responsive to the wide range of issues that may be subject to a proxy vote. In general, the adviser will vote proxies in accordance with these guidelines unless: (1) it has determined otherwise due to the specific and unusual facts and circumstances with respect to a particular vote, (2) the subject matter of the vote is not covered by these guidelines, (3) a material conflict of interest is present, or (4) it is necessary to vote contrary to the general guidelines to maximize shareholder value or the best interests of the adviser’s clients. In reviewing proxy issues, the adviser generally uses the following guidelines:

Elections of Directors: In general, the adviser will vote in favor of the management-proposed slate of directors. If there is a proxy fight for seats on a portfolio company’s board of directors, or the adviser determines that there are other compelling reasons for withholding a vote, it will determine the appropriate vote on the matter. The adviser may withhold votes for directors that fail to act on key issues, such as failure to: (1) implement proposals to declassify a board, (2) implement a majority vote requirement, (3) submit a rights plan to a shareholder vote or (4) act on tender offers where a majority of shareholders have tendered their shares. Finally, the adviser may withhold votes for directors ofnon-U.S. issuers where there is insufficient information about the nominees disclosed in the proxy statement or where, in the adviser’s discretion, the cost of voting will outweigh the perceived benefit.

Appointment of Auditors: The adviser believes that the board of an issuer remains in the best position to choose its independent auditors and the adviser will generally support management’s recommendation in this regard.

Changes in Capital Structure: Changes in an issuer’s charter orby-laws may be required by state or federal regulation. In general, the adviser will cast client votes in accordance with management on such proposals. However, the adviser will consider carefully any proposal regarding a change in corporate structure that is not required by state or federal regulation.

Corporate Restructurings, Mergers and Acquisitions: The adviser believes proxy votes dealing with corporate reorganizations are an extension of the investment decision. Accordingly, the adviser will analyze such proposals on acase-by-case basis and vote in accordance with its perception of client interests.

Proposals Affecting Shareholder Rights: The adviser generally will vote in favor of proposals that give shareholders a greater voice in the affairs of an issuer and oppose any measure that seeks to limit such rights. However, when analyzing such proposals, the adviser will balance the financial impact of the proposal against any impairment of shareholder rights as well as of a client’s investment in the issuer.

Corporate Governance: The adviser recognizes the importance of good corporate governance. Accordingly, the adviser generally will favor proposals that promote transparency and accountability within an issuer.

Anti-Takeover Measures: The adviser will evaluate, on acase-by-case basis, any proposals regarding anti-takeover measures to determine the measure’s likely effect on shareholder value dilution.

Stock Splits: The adviser generally will vote with management on stock split matters.

Limited Liability of Directors: The adviser generally will vote with management on matters that could adversely affect the limited liability of directors.

Social and Corporate Responsibility: The adviser will review proposals related to social, political and environmental issues to determine whether they may adversely affect shareholder value. The adviser may abstain from voting on such proposals where they do not have a readily determinable financial impact on shareholder value.

Potential Conflicts of Interests

Actual or apparent conflicts of interest may arise when a Portfolio Manager hasday-to-day management responsibilities with respect to more than one fund or other account.

Certain inherent conflicts of interest arise from the fact that the Portfolio Managers, the Adviser and its affiliates provide investment management services both to the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds, including other funds, client accounts, proprietary accounts and any other investment vehicles that the Adviser and its affiliates may establish from time to time, in which the registrant will not have an interest. The Portfolio Managers, the Adviser and its affiliates may give advice and recommend securities to the other Apollo-advised funds that may differ from advice given to, or securities recommended or bought for, the registrant, even though their investment objectives may be the same or similar to those of the registrant.

The Adviser will seek to manage potential conflicts of interest in good faith; nonetheless, the portfolio strategies employed by the Portfolio Managers, the Adviser and its affiliates in managing the other Apollo-advised funds could conflict with the transactions and strategies employed by the Portfolio Managers in managing the registrant and may affect the prices and availability of the securities and instruments in which the registrant invests. Conversely, participation in specific investment opportunities may be appropriate, at times, for both the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds. It is the policy of the Adviser to generally share appropriate investment opportunities (and sale opportunities) with the other Apollo-advised funds to the extent consistent with applicable legal requirements. In general, this policy will result in such opportunities being allocated pro rata among the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds. Nevertheless, investments and/or opportunities may be allocated other than on a pro rata basis, to the extent it is done in good faith and does not, or is not reasonably expected to, result in an improper disadvantage or advantage to one participating Apollo-advised fund as compared to another participating Apollo-advised fund.

In the event investment opportunities are allocated among the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds, the registrant may not be able to structure its investment portfolio in the manner desired. Although the Adviser endeavors to allocate investment opportunities in a fair and equitable manner, it is possible that the registrant may not be given the opportunity to participate in certain investments made by the other Apollo-advised funds or portfolio managers affiliated with the Adviser. Furthermore, the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds may make investments in securities where the prevailing trading activity may make impossible the receipt of the same price or execution on the entire volume of securities purchased or sold by the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds. When this occurs, the various prices may be averaged, and the registrant will be charged or credited with the average price. Thus, the effect of the aggregation may operate on some occasions to the disadvantage of the registrant. In addition, under certain circumstances, the registrant may not be charged the same commission or commission equivalent rates in connection with a bunched or aggregated order.

It is possible that other Apollo-advised funds may make investments in the same or similar securities at different times and on different terms than the registrant. From time to time, the registrant and the other

Apollo-advised funds may make investments at different levels of an issuer’s capital structure or otherwise in different classes of an issuer’s securities. Such investments may inherently give rise to conflicts of interest or perceived conflicts of interest between or among the various classes of securities that may be held by such entities. Conflicts may also arise because portfolio decisions regarding the registrant may benefit the other Apollo-advised funds. For example, the sale of a long position or establishment of a short position by the registrant may impair the price of the same security sold short by (and therefore benefit) one or more Apollo-advised funds, and the purchase of a security or covering of a short position in a security by the registrant may increase the price of the same security held by (and therefore benefit) one or more Apollo-advised funds.

While these conflicts cannot be eliminated, the Adviser, when consistent with fund objectives, guidelines and other fiduciary considerations and when practicable, the registrant and the other Apollo-advised funds may hold investments in the same levels of an issuer’s capital structure in the same proportion at each level.

Although the professional staff of the Adviser will devote as much time to the management of the registrant as the Adviser deems appropriate to perform its obligations, the professional staff of the Adviser may have conflicts in allocating its time and services among the registrant and the Adviser’s other investment vehicles and accounts. The Adviser and its affiliates are not restricted from forming additional investment funds, from entering into other investment advisory relationships or from engaging in other business activities, even though such activities may be in competition with the registrant and/or may involve substantial time and resources of the Adviser and its professional staff. These activities could be viewed as creating a conflict of interest in that the time and effort of the members of the Adviser and their officers and employees will not be devoted exclusively to the business of the registrant but will be allocated between the business of the registrant and the management of the monies of other clients of the Adviser.

A conflict of interest may arise where the financial or other benefits available to a Portfolio Manager differ among the accounts that he manages. If the structure of the Adviser’s (or its affiliates’) management fee or the Portfolio Manager’s compensation differs among accounts (such as where certain accounts pay higher management fees or performance based management fees), the Portfolio Managers may be motivated to favor accounts in which they have investment interests, or in which the Adviser or its affiliates have investment interests. Similarly, the desire to maintain assets under management or to enhance a Portfolio Manager’s performance record or to derive other rewards, financial or otherwise, could influence the Portfolio Manager in affording preferential treatment to those accounts that could most significantly benefit the Portfolio Manager. For example, as reflected above, if a Portfolio Manager manages accounts that have performance fee arrangements, certain portions of his compensation will depend on the achievement of performance milestones on those accounts. The Portfolio Manager could be incented to afford preferential treatment to those accounts and thereby be subject to a potential conflict of interest.

The registrant and the Adviser have adopted compliance policies and procedures that are reasonably designed to address the various conflicts of interest that may arise for the Adviser and its staff members. However, there is no guarantee that such policies and procedures will be able to detect and prevent every situation in which an actual or potential conflict may arise.

(a)(3)    Compensation Structure of Portfolio Manager(s) or Management Team Members

The Adviser’s financial arrangements with its portfolio managers, its competitive compensation and its career path emphasis at all levels reflect the value senior management places on key resources. Compensation may include a variety of components and may vary from year to year based on a number of

factors. The principal components of compensation include base compensation and discretionary compensation.

Base Compensation. Generally, portfolio managers receive an annual salary that is consistent with the market rate of annual salaries paid to similarly situated investment professionals.

Discretionary Compensation. Portfolio managers also receive discretionary compensation generally consisting of two components: an annual bonus and carried interest.

Annual Bonus. Generally, a portfolio manager receives an annual bonus based on such person’s individual performance, operational performance for the Apollo-advised funds for which such person serves, and such portfolio manager’s impact on the overall operating performance and potential to contribute to long-term value and growth. A portion of each annual bonus may be deferred and, at the discretion of Apollo, may be in the form of cash or equity of an Apollo entity, such as restricted stock units of Apollo Global Management, Inc.

Carried Interest. Generally, a portfolio manager receives carried interests with respect to the Apollo-advised funds for which such person serves as a portfolio manager, subject to standard terms and conditions, including vesting.
