Item 5.07 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.
On August 24, 2016, Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. (
AMTG
) held a special meeting of AMTG common stockholders (the
Meeting
) at which three proposals were submitted to a vote of the common stockholders of AMTG: (i) a proposal to approve the merger of Arrow Merger Sub, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Apollo Commercial Real Estate
Finance, Inc. (
ARI
), with and into AMTG (the
Merger
) pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated February 26, 2016 (the
Merger Agreement
), and the other transactions contemplated
by the Merger Agreement (the
First Proposal
); (ii) a proposal to approve to adjourn the Meeting to a later date, if necessary, to solicit additional proxies in favor of the First Proposal (the
Second
Proposal
); and (iii) a proposal to approve on an advisory basis the merger-related compensation of AMTGs named executive officers as disclosed in Schedule 14A, filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on July 27, 2016
(the
Third Proposal
).
The First Proposal required (i) pursuant to Maryland law and the Merger Agreement, the
affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of AMTG common stock as of July 12, 2016 (the
Record Date
) and (ii) pursuant to the Merger Agreement the affirmative vote of the holders of
at least a majority of the outstanding shares of AMTG common stock as of the Record Date that were beneficially owned by persons unaffiliated with Apollo Global Management, LLC (the
Unaffiliated Stockholders
). At the Meeting, the
First Proposal was approved by holders of 56.61% of the outstanding shares of AMTG common stock and by holders of 55.47% of the outstanding shares of AMTG common stock held by Unaffiliated Stockholders.
The Second Proposal required, pursuant to Maryland law, the affirmative vote of a majority of the votes cast on such proposal. At the Meeting,
the Second Proposal was approved by 78.77% of the votes cast on such proposal.
The Third Proposal required, pursuant to applicable law,
the affirmative vote on an advisory basis of a majority of the votes cast on such proposal. The Third Proposal was an advisory vote and therefore not binding on AMTG. At the Meeting, the Third Proposal was approved by 76.71% of the votes cast on
such proposal.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On
August 24, 2016, AMTG and ARI issued a joint press release announcing that the common stockholders of AMTG approved the proposed acquisition of AMTG by ARI at a special meeting of AMTG stockholders. Upon the completion of the acquisition, AMTG
common stockholders will receive 0.417571 shares of ARI common stock and $6.86 in cash for each share of AMTG common stock that they hold, based upon AMTGs book value per share of common stock on the pricing date of $15.52. The transaction is
expected to close on August 31, 2016, subject to customary closing conditions.
