Insights

TL;DR Insider reported conversion-related dispositions and a new restricted stock unit award tied to the merger consideration.

The Form 4 documents that Mr. Morse received a grant of 447,906 restricted stock units that vest over four years while large pre-merger holdings of Class A and Class B shares and related units were disposed or cancelled. The filing explicitly attributes the disposals to the Merger Agreement dated February 23, 2025 which converted or cancelled Bridge securities into rights to Apollo parent common stock at fixed ratios, and converted unvested awards consistently into Parent awards. This is a routine disclosure following a corporate acquisition and clarifies post-merger equity positions; it does not provide numeric details about the resulting Parent common stock holdings in this filing.

TL;DR Transactions reflect standard merger-scheme equity conversions and the issuance of replacement RSUs tied to Parent company stock.

The explanatory footnotes show that at the Effective Time of the Mergers, Bridge equity instruments were cancelled and converted into rights to Parent common stock at conversion factors such as 0.07081 for Class A-equivalent instruments and 0.00006 for Class B-equivalent instruments, and unvested awards were converted into comparable Parent awards subject to the same terms. The Form 4 documents both the disposals resulting from those conversions and the new restricted stock unit award, providing transparency on how executive equity was treated in the transaction. The filing does not disclose the exact number of Parent shares received post-conversion within this Form 4.
