Item 8.01 Other Events

On August 6, 2021 Marc Rowan, Chief Executive Officer and Director of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (the “Company”) and Director of Athene Holding Ltd. (“ATH”) informed the Company that he has sold certain Class A common shares of ATH that he beneficially owns and that he intends to sell up to 1,000,000 Class A common shares of ATH in the aggregate (the “Aggregate ATH Shares”) prior to the closing of the merger of the Company and ATH. Following such sales, Mr. Rowan will beneficially own approximately 681,075 Class A common shares of ATH. Mr. Rowan informed the Company that the sales of the Aggregate ATH Shares are to generate liquidity to fund anticipated tax obligations arising from the previously announced conversion of the Company’s capital structure to a single class of voting common stock, and that he does not currently have any plan or intention to sell any additional Class A common shares of ATH (other than the Aggregate ATH Shares) or Class A common stock of the Company.

In addition, on August 6, 2021 Mr. Rowan reported a contribution of 1,500,000 shares of Class A common stock of the Company (the “Contributed APO Shares”) previously received in connection with a September 2019 exchange of Apollo Operating Group units for shares of Class A common stock, to donor advised funds in accordance with his previously disclosed intention to contribute certain shares of Class A common stock of the Company to a donor advised fund or other charity over time. The Company has been informed that no more than 250,000 of the Contributed APO Shares are currently expected to be sold by the donor advised funds and, from time to time, the donor advised funds may sell additional Contributed APO Shares to fund additional future charitable contributions.
