 certain pre-closingrestructuring activities having been completed, (vii) the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, (viii) the approval for listing on the NYSE of the shares of Apollo common stock to be issued as merger consideration in connection with the mergers, subject to official notice of issuance, (ix) the Second A&R Tax Receivable Agreement remaining in full force and effect, and (x) other customary conditions specified in the merger agreement. For a more detailed discussion regarding conditions to the mergers, see “ The Merger Agreement—Conditions to Completion of the Merger” beginning on page 118. Further, either Apollo or Bridge may terminate the merger agreement if the mergers have not been completed by February 23, 2026. However, this right to terminate the merger agreement will not be available to any party whose failure to perform any covenant or obligation under the merger agreement has principally caused or resulted in the failure of the mergers to be completed on or before that date. If the mergers are not completed, Bridge’s ongoing business, financial condition, financial results and stock price may be materially adversely affected. Without realizing any of the benefits of having completed the mergers, Apollo and Bridge will be subject to a number of risks, including the following:

| • |     | the market price of Apollo common stock and/or Bridge common stock could decline to the extent that the current 
 market price reflects a market assumption that the transactions will be completed;                              |

| • |     | Bridge could owe a termination fee of $45,000,000 to Apollo under certain circumstances; |

| • |     | if the merger agreement is terminated and Apollo or the Bridge Board seeks another business combination, Apollo                                                                                                                                         
 stockholders and Bridge stockholders cannot be certain that Apollo or Bridge will be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms that the other party has agreed to in the merger 
 agreement;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                              |

| • |     | time and resources committed by Apollo’s and Bridge’s respective management to matters relating to the               
 mergers could otherwise have been devoted to pursuing other beneficial opportunities for their respective companies; |
