INFORMATION REQUIRED IN REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Item 1. Description of Registrant’s Securities to Be Registered.
The securities to be registered hereby are the P-S Shares (the “P-S Shares”), P-I Shares (the “P-I Shares”), T-S Shares (the “T-S Shares”) and T-I Shares (the “T-I Shares,” and together with the P-S Shares, P-I Shares and T-S Shares, the “New Shares”) of each of Apollo Asset Backed Credit Company LLC—Series I (“Series I”) and Apollo Asset Backed Credit Company LLC—Series II (“Series II”), each of which is a registered series of Apollo Asset-Backed Credit LLC (together with Series I and Series II, the “Registrant” or the “Company”). Each of the New Shares represents the applicable type of limited liability company interest in each of Series I and Series II. The same type of New Shares of each series will have the same terms unless otherwise indicated.
There is currently no market for the New Shares, and we do not expect that a market for the New Shares will develop in the future. We do not intend for the New Shares to be listed on any national securities exchange. Under the terms of the Registrant’s third amended and restated limited liability company agreement (as amended from time to time, the “LLC Agreement”), except as required by law, the liability of each holder of P-S Shares (the “P-S Shareholders”) in such capacity, each holder of P-I Shares (the “P-I Shareholders”) in such capacity, each holder of T-S Shares (the “T-S Shareholders”) in such capacity and each holder of T-I Shares (the “T-I Shareholders” and, together with the P-S Shareholders, the P-I Shareholders and the T-S Shareholders, the “New Share Shareholders”) in such capacity shall be limited to the amount of each such New Share Shareholder’s total investments and pro rata share of any undistributed profits. Except as may otherwise be provided in the LLC Agreement or in any type designation and except as required by law, after the payment of all subscription proceeds for the New Shares purchased by such New Share Shareholder, no New Share Shareholder shall have any further obligations to the Registrant, be subject to any additional assessment or be required to contribute any additional capital to, or to loan any funds to, the Registrant (except for the return of distributions under certain circumstances as required by Sections 18-215, 18-218, 18-607 and 18-804 of the LLC Act), unless otherwise agreed by the Registrant and such New Share Shareholder. No New Share Shareholder shall have any personal liability on account of any obligations and liabilities of, including any amounts payable by, the Registrant under or pursuant to, or otherwise in connection with, the LLC Agreement or the conduct of the business of the Registrant solely by reason of being a New Share Shareholder of the Registrant.
The New Shares have equal rights and privileges with the Registrant’s S Shares, I Shares, F-S Shares, F-I Shares, A-I Shares and A-II Shares (the “Existing Investor Shares,” and together with the New Shares, the “Investor Shares”) except that the New Shares are subject to a different fee structure.
The New Shares are not entitled to vote on any matters relating to the Company, including the election of directors, and are not entitled nominate, remove or participate in the appointment of directors of the Company.
For a further description of the New Shares being registered hereby, reference is made to certain information applicable to all Investor Shares contained in the section entitled “Description of Registrant’s Securities Registered Pursuant to Section 12 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934” comprising Exhibit 4.1 to the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2024, which is incorporated by reference herein, as such description may be updated from time to time in the Registrant’s subsequent filings with the SEC.
P Shares
P-S Shares and P-I Shares (together, the “P Shares”) are being offered to clients of certain intermediaries (“P Share Intermediaries”) designated in the Company’s sole discretion.
In the event that a P-S Shareholder or P-I Shareholder (each a “P Shareholder” and together, the “P Shareholders”) changes financial intermediaries and the new intermediary does not have that designation, then, subject to any requirements that may be imposed by the new intermediary, such P Shareholder is permitted to retain their P Shares issued prior to such change, but cannot acquire any additional P Shares except in connection with the distribution reinvestment plan (the “DRIP”).
The Company reserves the right to change the designation of a financial intermediary as a P Share Intermediary. Subject to any requirements that may be imposed by the financial intermediary, clients of a re-designated intermediary are permitted to retain their P Shares issued prior to the re-designation but cannot acquire additional P Shares except in connection with the DRIP.
P-S Shares are subject to a maximum sales load of up to 3.0% of the transaction price and are subject to a dealer manager fee of up to 0.50%. The dealer manager receives a combined annual distribution fee and shareholder servicing fee of 0.25% per annum of the aggregate net asset value (“NAV”) of the Company’s outstanding P-S Shares commencing six months after the initial closing of third-party capital through a P Share Intermediary.
P-I Shares do not pay a sales load or dealer manager fees and investors do not pay any servicing or distribution fees with respect to P-I Shares.
P-S Shares and P-I Shares are not subject to a management fee for the first six months after the initial closing of third-party capital through a P Share Intermediary and are subject to a management fee of 1.0% per annum of the month- end NAV thereafter. The P-S Shares and P-I Shares are also subject to a performance fee of 10.0% of the total return measured over a 5.0% hurdle amount and a high water mark with a catch-up.
