Sources of Funds for Repurchases
The Company may fund repurchase requests from sources other than cash flow from operations, including, without limitation, the sale of Asset-Backed Finance Assets, borrowings, return of capital or offering proceeds (including from sales of the Company’s Shares), and the Company has no limits on the amounts it may pay from such sources, as long as the Company is able to pay its indebtedness as it becomes due in the usual course of business and its total assets are not less than its total liabilities.
Repurchase Limitations
The Company may repurchase fewer Shares than have been requested in any particular calendar quarter to be repurchased under this Repurchase Plan, or none at all, in its discretion at any time. In addition, the aggregate NAV of total repurchases of S Shares, I Shares, T-S Shares, T-I Shares, P-S Shares, P-I Shares, F-S Shares, F-I Shares, A-I Shares, A-II Shares and E Shares (including repurchases at certain non-U.S. investor access funds primarily created to hold Shares of the Company, if applicable) will be limited to no more than 5.0% of the Company’s aggregate NAV per calendar quarter (measured using the average aggregate NAV across both Series as of the end of the immediately preceding three months).
In the event that the Company determines to repurchase some but not all of the Shares submitted for repurchase during any quarter, Shares submitted for repurchase during such quarter will be repurchased on a pro rata basis after the Company has repurchased all Shares for which repurchase has been requested due to death, disability or divorce and any minimum account repurchases made by the Company. Any such repurchase requests due to death, disability, divorce, dissolution, bankruptcy, insolvency or adjudicated incompetence will be subject to the Company’s approval following a review of supporting documents evidencing the applicable event, and the applicable event must have occurred post purchase of the Shares by the relevant Shareholder. All unsatisfied repurchase requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next quarter, or upon the recommencement of this Plan, as applicable. Based on a number of factors, including liquidity, market conditions, operational factors and others, we may elect not to accept repurchase requests for such quarter and Shareholders who wish to have their Shares repurchased the following quarter must resubmit their repurchase requests in a later quarter. The Transaction Price for each quarter will be available on the Company’s website at https://www.apollo.com/abc and/or in Exchange Act filings filed with the SEC.
Should repurchase requests, in the Company’s judgment, place an undue burden on the Company’s liquidity, adversely affect the Company’s operations or risk having an adverse impact on the Company as a whole, or should the Company otherwise determine that investing its liquid assets in Asset-Backed Finance Assets or other illiquid instruments rather than repurchasing the Company’s Shares is in the best interests of the Company as a whole, the Company may choose to repurchase fewer Shares in any particular quarter than have been requested to be repurchased, or none at all. Further, the Company’s board of directors may make exceptions to, modify or suspend this Plan if, in its reasonable judgment, it deems such action to be in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. Alternatively, in the event that we receive repurchase requests in excess of applicable limits, the Board may consider, in its sole discretion, steps in order to provide additional liquidity to Shareholders, including tender offers or other measures. In addition, the Board may make the determination to terminate our Repurchase Plan, temporarily or permanently, and institute a tender offer or other liquidity plan, in compliance with applicable law, regulation and policy, in its place. Material modifications, including any amendment to the 5.0% quarterly limitations on repurchases, to and suspensions of the Plan will be promptly disclosed to Shareholders in an Exchange Act filing by us. Material modifications will also be disclosed on the Company’s website. In addition, the Company may determine to suspend this Plan due to regulatory changes, changes in law or if the Company becomes aware of undisclosed material information that it believes should be publicly disclosed before Shares are repurchased. Once this Plan is suspended, this Plan requires the Company’s board of directors to consider the recommencement of the plan at least quarterly. Continued suspension of this Plan would only be permitted under the plan if the Board determines that the continued suspension of the Plan is in the best interest of the Company and its Shareholders. The Company’s board of directors must affirmatively authorize the recommencement of this Plan before Shareholder requests will be considered again. The Company’s board of directors cannot terminate this Plan absent a liquidity event which results in Shareholders receiving cash or securities listed on a national securities exchange, or results in the Shares being quoted on the over the counter market or otherwise becoming traded on a secondary market or where otherwise required by law.
