**APOLLO DEBT SOLUTIONS BDC** 

**SUPPLEMENT NO. 5 DATED AUGUST 19, 2025** 

**TO THE PROSPECTUS DATED APRIL 16, 2025** 

This prospectus supplement ("**Supplement**") is part of and should be read in conjunction with the prospectus of Apollo Debt Solutions BDC (the "**Company**"), dated April 16, 2025, (as supplemented to date, the "**Prospectus**"). Unless otherwise defined herein, capitalized terms used in this Supplement shall have the same meanings as in the Prospectus.

The purposes of this Supplement are:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To disclose the Company amended and restated its senior secured credit facility;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To disclose that the Company closed a collateralized loan obligation transaction; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• To update the Prospectus.

**Credit Facility Amendment** 

On August 12, 2025, the Company amended and restated its senior secured, multi-currency, revolving credit facility (the "**Facility**"). The parties to the Facility include the Company, as borrower, the lenders party thereto and JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent.

The Facility provides for, among other things, (i) an extension of the final maturity date from October 17, 2029 to August 12, 2030, (ii) an increase of the total facility amount from $2.740 billion to $3.453 billion, (iii) a reduction of the commitment fee from 0.375% to 0.325%, (iv) an increase of the accordion provision from $4.110 billion to $5.180 billion, (v) a reduction of the applicable margin as follows: (x) if the Gross Borrowing Base is greater than or equal to 2.0 times the Combined Debt Amount, (A) with respect to any ABR Loan, 0.525% per annum and (B) with respect to any other Loan, 1.525% per annum, (y) if the Gross Borrowing Base is less than 2.0 times the Combined Debt Amount and greater than or equal to 1.6 times the Combined Debt Amount, (A) with respect to any ABR Loan, 0.650% per annum and (B) with respect to any other Loan, 1.650% per annum or (z) if the Gross Borrowing Base is less than 1.6 times the Combined Debt Amount, (A) with respect to any ABR Loan, 0.775% per annum, (B) with respect to any other Loan, 1.775% per annum, and (vi) resets the minimum shareholders' equity test.

Borrowings under the Facility (and the incurrence of certain other permitted debt) continue to be subject to compliance with a Borrowing Base that applies different advance rates to different types of assets in the Company's portfolio. The advance rate applicable to any specific type of asset in the Company's portfolio depends on the relevant asset coverage ratio as of the date of determination. Borrowings under the Facility continue to be subject to the leverage restrictions contained in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

Terms used in the foregoing paragraphs have the meanings set forth in the Facility. The description above is only a summary of the material provisions of the Facility and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the provisions in such Facility, which is attached as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part.

**2025 Debt Securitization** 

On August 12, 2025 (the "**Closing Date**"), the Company completed a $502,100,000 term debt securitization (the "**2025 Debt Securitization**"). Term debt securitizations are also known as collateralized loan obligations and are a form of secured financing incurred by a subsidiary of the Company, which is consolidated by the Company and subject to the Company's overall asset coverage requirements.

On the Closing Date and in connection with the 2025 Debt Securitization, ADS CLO 2 LLC (the "**CLO Issuer**"), an indirect, wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company, entered into a Note Purchase and Placement Agreement (the "**CLO Purchase and Placement Agreement**") with BofA Securities, Inc., as the initial purchaser (the "**Initial Purchaser**") and Apollo Global Securities, LLC, as placement agent, pursuant to which the CLO Issuer agreed to sell certain of the notes to the Initial Purchaser issued as part of the 2025 Debt Securitization pursuant to an indenture by and between the CLO Issuer and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee (the "**CLO Indenture**").

------

The notes issued as part of the 2025 Debt Securitization consist of $300,000,000 of AAA(sf)/Aaa(sf) Class A-1 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2037, which bear interest at the three-month secured overnight financing rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York ("**SOFR**") plus 1.30% (the "**Class A-1 Notes**"); $30,000,000 of AA(sf) Class A-2 Senior Secured Floating Rate Notes due 2037, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 1.70% (the "**Class A-2 Notes**"); $65,000,000 of A(sf) Class B Senior Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2037, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 1.80% (the "**Class B Notes**"); $35,000,000 of BBB-(sf) Class C Senior Secured Deferrable Floating Rate Notes due 2037, which bear interest at the three-month SOFR plus 2.75% (the "**Class C Notes**" and together with the Class A-1 Notes, the Class A-2 Notes and the Class B Notes, the "**Secured Notes**"). Additionally, on the Closing Date, the CLO Issuer will issue $72,100,000 of Subordinated Notes due 2037 (the "**Subordinated Notes**"), which do not bear interest. The Secured Notes together with the Subordinated Notes are collectively referred to herein as the "Notes".

The 2025 Debt Securitization is backed by a diversified portfolio consisting primarily of first-priority commercial loans. The Notes are scheduled to mature on July 15, 2037; however, the Notes may be redeemed by the CLO Issuer, at the direction of ADS CLO 2 Depositor LLC (the "**CLO Retention Provider**"), a wholly-owned, consolidated subsidiary of the Company, as owner of a majority of the Subordinated Notes, on any business day on or after July 15, 2027. The CLO Retention Provider acts as retention holder in connection with the 2025 Debt Securitization for the purposes of satisfying certain U.S. regulations requiring sponsors of securitization transactions to retain exposure to the performance of the securitized assets and as such is required to retain a portion of the Subordinated Notes. The Company, through the CLO Retention Provider, has retained 100% of the Class B Notes, the Class C Notes and the Subordinated Notes issued in the 2025 Debt Securitization.

The CLO Issuer intends to use the proceeds from the 2025 Debt Securitization to, among other things, purchase certain loans ("**Collateral Obligations**") from time to time on and after the Closing Date from the Company pursuant to a master loan sale agreement entered into on the Closing Date (the "**Loan Sale Agreement**") among the Company, the CLO Retention Provider and the CLO Issuer. Under the terms of the Loan Sale Agreement that provide for the sale of Collateral Obligations to the CLO Issuer, the Company will transfer to the CLO Retention Provider, and the CLO Retention Provider will transfer to the CLO Issuer, a portion of its ownership interest in the Collateral Obligations securing the 2025 Debt Securitization for the purchase price and other consideration set forth in the Loan Sale Agreement from time to time on and after the Closing Date. Following these transfers, the CLO Issuer, and not the CLO Retention Provider or the Company, will hold all of the ownership interest in such loans and participations. The Company made customary representations, warranties and covenants in the Loan Sale Agreement.

The Secured Notes are the secured obligation of the CLO Issuer, the Subordinated Notes are the unsecured obligations of the CLO Issuer, and the CLO Indenture governing the Notes include customary covenants and events of default. The Notes have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any state securities or "blue sky" laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration with the Securities and Exchange Commission or an applicable exemption from registration.

The Company serves as collateral manager to the CLO Issuer under a collateral management agreement entered into on the Closing Date (the "**Collateral Management Agreement**"). Pursuant to the Collateral Management Agreement, so long as the Company is the collateral manager, the collateral management fee will equal 0.0% per annum of the fee basis amount.

The above description of the documentation related to the 2025 Debt Securitization and other arrangements entered into on the Closing Date do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the underlying agreements, including the CLO Purchase and Placement Agreement, the CLO Indenture, the Collateral Management Agreement and the Loan Sale Agreement, which are attached as exhibits to the registration statement of which this Prospectus is a part.
