 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:

| • |     | Each of Bridge’s executive officers holds outstanding and unvested Bridge LLC Unit Awards and Bridge RSAs                                                                                                                                               
 that will be converted into Apollo RSAs (rounded down to the nearest whole share of Apollo common stock with cash paid in lieu of fractional shares), generally on the same terms and conditions as were applicable under such unvested Bridge LLC Unit 
 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 remain         
 outstanding and continue to vest on the original vesting schedule if (x) with respect to Katherine Elsnab, Chief Financial Officer of Bridge, she experiences a termination of employment without cause within 18 months following the effective        
 time of the mergers or (y) for Robert Morse, Executive Chairman of Bridge, Jonathan Slager, Chief Executive Officer of Bridge, Adam O’Farrell, Chief Operating Officer of Bridge and Dean Allara, Vice Chairman of Bridge (collectively, the            
 “Retirement Eligible Executives”), such individuals satisfy certain obligations under Bridge’s existing Executive Emeritus/Alumnus Policy (the “Emeritus Policy”) described below, which such executive officers were entitled                          
 to participate in prior to the transaction. Each of Bridge’s executive officers has waived their right to receive any benefits, including any equity award vesting, as a result of a resignation for “good reason” following the effective              
 time of the mergers.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
