 of the mergers on Apollo’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows is not consistent with
the expectations of financial or industry analysts.

The mergers may result in a loss of clients and other business partners and may result in the termination of existing contracts.

Following the mergers, some of the clients and other business partners of Bridge may terminate
or scale back their current or prospective business relationships with Apollo. In particular, the mergers require the consent of Bridge clients for the assignment of contracts governing the investment advisory services from Bridge to Apollo, and
some clients may choose to withhold their consent or whose consent may not be obtained on favorable terms to Apollo. Bridge also has additional contracts with clients and other business partners that may require it to obtain consents from these
other parties in connection with the mergers, which may also not be obtained on favorable terms or at all. If relationships with clients and other business partners are adversely affected by the mergers, or if Apollo, following the mergers, loses
the benefits of the contracts of Bridge, this could have a negative impact on Apollo’s business and financial performance.

Apollo’s certificate of incorporation provides that the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware is the sole and exclusive forum for certain legal actions between Apollo and its stockholders, which could limit Apollo stockholders’ ability to obtain a judicial forum viewed by the stockholders as more favorable for disputes with Apollo or Apollo’s directors, officers or employees, and the enforceability of the exclusive forum provision may be subject to uncertainty.

Article XIV of Apollo’s certificate of incorporation provides that, unless Apollo consents in writing to the selection of an alternative
forum, the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, be the sole and exclusive forum for: (a) any derivative action or proceeding brought on Apollo’s behalf; (b) any action asserting a
claim of breach of a fiduciary duty owed by any of Apollo’s current or former directors, officers, other employees or stockholders to Apollo or its stockholders; (c) any action asserting

a claim arising pursuant to any provision of the DGCL, Apollo’s certificate of incorporation or Apollo’s bylaws or as to which the DGCL confers jurisdiction on the Court of Chancery of
the State of Delaware; or (d) any action asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine, except for, as to each of (a) through (d) above, any claim as to
