Insights

Credit Strategist

Apollo priced $750 million of senior notes; this is a routine liability management step that modestly affects liquidity and maturity profile.

The Issuer sold $400,000,000 of 4.600% notes due 2031 and $350,000,000 of 5.150% notes due 2035, yielding net proceeds of approximately $742.1 million. The new 2035 tranche will join an existing $500,000,000 series, consolidating into a single series with identical terms except issue date and price. Interest payments are semi‑annual and the notes are guaranteed by certain subsidiaries, which keeps credit structure aligned with existing obligations.

Key dependencies and risks include the use of proceeds for general corporate purposes (no earmarked deleveraging), near‑term closing conditions expected on November 7, 2025, and incremental fixed‑rate interest expense of 4.600% and 5.150% on the respective tranches. Monitor consolidated leverage, cash flow available for interest, and any announced allocation of proceeds over the next quarter; those items will determine whether this issuance is credit‑neutral or meaningfully dilutive to flexibility over a 1–3 year horizon.

NEW YORK, Nov. 05, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Apollo Global Management, Inc. (NYSE: APO) (the “Issuer” and, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, “Apollo”) today announced that it has priced an offering (the “Offering”) of $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 4.600% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “2031 notes”) and an additional $350 million aggregate principal amount of its 5.150% Senior Notes due 2035 (the “new 2035 notes” and, together with the 2031 notes, the “notes”).

The notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by certain subsidiaries of the Issuer that are obligors under the Issuer’s outstanding debt securities. The Offering is expected to close on November 7, 2025, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.
