Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On November 23, 2020, Apollo Management Holdings, L.P., as borrower (the
"Borrower"), entered into a new credit agreement (as amended, supplemented or
otherwise modified from time to time, the "AMH Credit Facility") with the
lenders and issuing banks party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as administrative
agent for the lenders.
The AMH Credit Facility refinances that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of

affiliates of Apollo Management Holdings, L.P. party thereto, as guarantors, the
lenders party thereto, the issuing banks party thereto and Citibank, N.A., as

Credit Facility").
The AMH Credit Facility provides for a $750 million revolving credit facility to
the Borrower with a final maturity date of November 23, 2025. In addition, the
Borrower may incur incremental facilities in respect of the AMH Credit Facility
in an aggregate amount not to exceed $250 million plus additional amounts so
long as the Borrower is in compliance with a maximum net leverage ratio. The AMH
Credit Facility does not require any scheduled amortization payments or other
mandatory prepayments (except with respect to overadvances on the AMH Credit
Facility) prior to the final maturity date, and the Borrower may prepay the
loans and/or terminate or reduce the revolving commitments under the AMH Credit
Facility at any time without penalty.

ability of the Borrower, the guarantors and certain of their subsidiaries to,
among other things, create liens. Additionally, the AMH Credit Facility contains
financial covenants which require the Borrower and its subsidiaries to maintain
