Item 5.02. Departure of Director or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On January 4, 2017, Apollo Global Management, LLC
(the Company) entered into new employment agreements with each of Leon Black, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Joshua Harris, Senior Managing Director of the Company and Marc Rowan, Senior Managing Director of the
Company (each of Messrs. Black, Harris and Rowan, an Executive and collectively, the Executives), providing the terms of their continued employment by the Company (the Employment Agreements and each an
Employment Agreement). The terms of each of the Employment Agreements are substantially similar to the terms of the employment agreements each of the Executives previously executed on July 9, 2012.
Description of the Executives Employment Agreements
Pursuant to the Employment Agreements, each Executive is entitled to receive an annual salary of $100,000. Each Executive is entitled to
participate in the Companys employee benefit plans as in effect from time to time.
The term of each Employment Agreement commences
on January 4, 2017 and will terminate on the third anniversary of such date. Each Executive has the right to terminate his employment voluntarily at any time, but the Company may terminate his employment only for cause or by reason of
disability.
The Employment Agreements require each Executive to protect the confidential information of the Company both during and after
employment. In addition, until one year after his employment terminates, each Executive is required to refrain from soliciting employees under specified circumstances or interfering with the Companys relationships with investors and to refrain
from competing with the Company in a business that involves primarily (i.e., more than 50%) third-party capital, whether or not the termination occurs during the term of the agreement or thereafter.
The Company may terminate each Executives employment during the term of the Employment Agreement solely for cause or by reason of his
disability (as such terms are defined in the Employment Agreement). Under each Employment Agreement, if the Company terminates the Executives employment for cause or his employment is terminated by reason of death or disability, or if he
terminates his employment voluntarily, he will be paid only his accrued but unpaid salary through the date of termination.
The
description of the terms of the Employment Agreements contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreements, copies of which will be filed as exhibits
to the Companys Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2016.
SIGNATURES
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the
