For more information, see the section entitled “ The Mergers—Opinions of Bridge ’s and the Special Committee’s Financial Advisors” beginning on page 65 and the full text of the written opinion of Lazard attached as Annex E to this proxy statement/prospectus. Interests of Directors and Executive Officers of Bridge in the Mergers In considering the recommendation of the Bridge Board with respect to the mergers, Bridge stockholders should be aware that the directors and executive officers of Bridge may have certain interests in the mergers that are different from, or in addition to, the interests of Bridge stockholders generally. The special committee was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in evaluating and overseeing the negotiation of the merger agreement, and in recommending that the Bridge Board (i) approve the mergers and the transactions contemplated by the merger agreement, (ii) recommend the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby be approved and the merger proposal adopted by Bridge stockholders and (iii) instruct Bridge LLC to approve the merger agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby. The Bridge Board was aware of these interests and considered them, among other matters, in making its recommendation that Bridge stockholders vote to approve the merger proposal and the adjournment proposal. These interests include, among others, the following:

 Award or Bridge RSA immediately prior to the effective time of the mergers. Bridge’s executive officers have contractual entitlements that allow for all of the unvested Apollo RSAs received by the executive officer in the mergers to
