New Director Appointment

On February 21, 2023, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM”) (i) voted to increase the size of the Board to seventeen (17) directors and (ii) appointed Senator Patrick Toomey to fill the resulting vacancy. Senator Toomey’s appointment to the Board is expected to be effective as of March 15, 2023.

The Board has determined that Senator Toomey is an independent director as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange.

There are no actual or proposed transactions between Senator Toomey or any of his related persons and AGM that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Senator Toomey is expected to enter into a standard indemnification agreement and engagement letter in substantially the same forms that AGM has entered into with its other non-employee directors. For his services as an independent director of the Board, he will be entitled to compensation in line with compensation paid by AGM to its other non-employee directors.

On February 22, 2023, AGM issued a press release announcing the appointment of Senator Toomey as an independent director of AGM. A copy of the press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K. The information included in this Item 7.01 “Regulation FD Disclosure” and Exhibit 99.1 is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that Section, nor shall it be incorporated by reference into a filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
