Apollo Investment explores raising $200M of additional capital
In order to capitalize on various proprietary market opportunities and to maintain an appropriate capital structure, the Board has authorized management to explore whether the Company should raise up to $200 million of additional equity capital, which may be conducted, among other means, through either a marketed deal or a rights offering. Apollo Global Management has informed the Company that it intends to support AINV's equity capital raise, which in the case of a rights offering could include the exercise of oversubscription rights as a backstop for up to $50 million. In further support of an equity offering, Apollo Investment Management has informed the Company that it intends to waive its management and incentive fees associated with any shares issued through this offering. Additionally, Apollo Global Management may also purchase shares of AINV in the open market. :theflyonthewall.com
