Insights

TL;DR Reporting persons disclose a 19% beneficial stake across three series of ARDC preferred shares, held with shared voting and dispositive power.

The filing is a standard Schedule 13G/A disclosure identifying Athene and affiliated Apollo entities as holders of 760,000 Mandatory Redeemable Preferred Shares (360k A, 160k B, 240k C). Ownership is disclosed as shared voting and dispositive power with no sole power, and percentages are based on issuer-reported outstanding shares as of April 1, 2025. This clarifies the ownership chain and the adviser/GP structure but does not assert control or a change in control intent.

TL;DR Multiple related entities formally report aggregated 19% ownership of ARDC preferred shares and describe the corporate ownership chain.

The filing details the interconnected structure: AAIA holds the shares; AISG is AAIA's investment adviser; AISG GP, Apollo Life, Apollo Life GP, Capital Management and Management Holdings are successive ownership/management layers. The statement includes customary disclaimers that most affiliated entities disclaim beneficial ownership, while confirming shared voting/dispositive power. The disclosure improves transparency about who exercises influence over the preferred share stake.
