Bridge may be unable to attract or retain key employees during the pendency of the mergers.

In connection with the pending mergers, Bridge’s current and prospective
employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with Apollo following the mergers, which may materially adversely affect Bridge’s ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the mergers. Key employees may
depart because of issues relating to the uncertainty and difficulty of integration or a desire not to remain with Bridge following the merger. Accordingly, no assurance can be given that Bridge will be able to retain key employees to the same extent
that Bridge has been able to in the past.

Potential litigation against Apollo and Bridge could result in substantial costs, an injunction preventing the completion of the mergers and/or a judgment resulting in the payment of damages.

Securities class action lawsuits
and derivative lawsuits are often brought against public companies that have entered into merger agreements. Apollo and Bridge cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits, or others, nor can either company predict the amount of time and expense
that will be required to resolve such litigation. Even if such a lawsuit is unsuccessful, defending against these claims can result in substantial costs and divert management time and resources. An adverse judgment could result in monetary damages,
which could have a negative impact on Apollo’s and Bridge’s respective liquidity and financial condition.

Stockholders of
Bridge may file lawsuits against Apollo, Bridge and/or the directors and officers of either company in connection with the mergers. These lawsuits could prevent or delay the completion of the mergers and result in significant costs to Bridge and/or
Apollo, including any costs associated with the indemnification of directors and officers. There can be no assurance that any of the defendants will be successful in the outcome of any potential lawsuits.
