Note 13. Pending Mergers with AFT and AIF

On November 7, 2023, the Company entered into (i) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AFT Merger Agreement”) with Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AFT”), AFT Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AFT Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser, and (ii) an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “AIF Merger Agreement” and, together with the AFT Merger Agreement, the “Merger Agreements”) with Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc., a Maryland corporation (“AIF”), AIF Merger Sub, Inc., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (“AIF Merger Sub”), and, solely for the limited purposes set forth therein, the Adviser.

The Merger Agreements provide that, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Merger Agreement, at the effective time of such merger, AFT (the “AFT Effective Time”) and AIF (the “AIF Effective Time”) will, through a two-step merger process, merge with and into the Company, each share of AFT Common Stock and AIF Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the such effective time (other than shares owned by the Company or any of its consolidated subsidiaries) will be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to an exchange ratio calculated based on each of the Company’s, AFT’s and AIF’s respective NAVs (cash will be paid in lieu of fractional shares). The Company will continue as the surviving company.

Each Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties by the Company and the other parties thereto, subject to specified exceptions and qualifications. Consummation of the Mergers, which is currently anticipated to occur in the first half of 2024, is subject to certain closing conditions, including requisite approvals of the Company’s, AFT’s and AIF’s stockholders and certain other closing conditions.

The Company has filed a registration statement that includes a preliminary joint proxy statement and a prospectus of the Company with the SEC.
