Forward-Looking Statements We make forward-looking statements in this presentation and other filings we make with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Forward-looking statements are subject to substantial risks and uncertainties, many of which are difficult to predict and are generally beyond our control. These forward-looking statements include information about possible or assumed future results of our business, financial condition, liquidity, results of operations, plans and objectives, including information about our ability to generate attractive returns while attempting to mitigate risk. When used in this release, the words “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “plan,” “continue,” “intend,” “should,” “may” or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward- looking statements. Statements regarding the following subjects, among others, may be forward-looking: the return on equity; the yield on investments; the ability to borrow to finance assets; and risks associated with investing in real estate assets, including changes in business conditions and the general economy. The forward-looking statements are based on our beliefs, assumptions and expectations of our future performance, taking into account all information currently available to us. Forward- looking statements are not predictions of future events. These beliefs, assumptions and expectations can change as a result of many possible events or factors, not all of which are known to us. Some of these factors are described in the company's filings with the SEC. If a change occurs, our business, financial condition, liquidity and results of operations may vary materially from those expressed in our forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made. New risks and uncertainties arise over time, and it is not possible for us to predict those events or how they may affect us. Except as required by law, we are not obligated to, and do not intend to, update or revise any forward- looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. This presentation may contain statistics and other data that in some cases has been obtained from

  • r compiled from information made available by third-party service providers.

Past Performance Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future returns, the realization of which is dependent on many factors, many of which are beyond the control of Apollo Global Management, LLC (“AGM”); Apollo Investment Management, L.P.; and Apollo Investment Corporation (collectively “Apollo”). There can be no assurances that future dividends will match or exceed historic ones, or that they will be made at all. Net returns give effect to all fees and expenses. Unless otherwise noted, information included herein is presented as of the date indicated on the cover page and may change at any time without notice. Apollo Investment Corporation (the “Corporation” or “AINV” or the “Fund”) is subject to certain significant risks relating to our business and investment objective. For more detailed information on risks relating to the Corporation, see the latest Form 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports filed on Form 10-Q. Financial Data Financial data used in this presentation for the periods shown is from the Corporation’s Form 10-K and Form 10-Q filings with the SEC during such periods. Unless otherwise indicated, the numbers shown herein are rounded and unaudited. Quarterly financial information about the Company refers to fiscal quarters.

Disclaimers, Definitions, and Important Notes (cont.)

AUM Definition Assets Under Management (“AUM”) refers to the investments AGM manages or with respect to which it has control, including capital it has the right to call from its investors pursuant to their capital commitments to various funds. AGM’s AUM equals the sum of: (i) the fair value of its private equity investments plus the capital that it is entitled to call from its investors pursuant to the terms of their capital commitments plus non-recallable capital to the extent a fund is within the commitment period in which management fees are calculated based on total commitments to the fund; (ii) the net asset value of AGM’s capital markets funds, other than certain senior credit funds, which are structured as collateralized loan

  • bligations or certain collateralized loan obligation and collateralized debt obligation credit funds that have a fee generating basis other than mark-to-market asset values, plus used or

available leverage and/or capital commitments; (iii) the gross asset values or net asset values of AGM’s real estate entities and the structured portfolio vehicle investments included within the funds AGM manages, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio vehicles; (iv) the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets that AGM manages; and (v) the fair value of any other investments that AGM manages plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments for investments that may require pre-qualification before investment plus any other capital commitments available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above. AGM’s AUM measure includes AUM for which it charges either no or nominal fees. AGM’s definition of AUM is not based on any definition of AUM contained in its operating agreement or in any of its Apollo fund management agreements. AGM considers multiple factors for determining what should be included in its definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) its ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) its ability to generate income from the underlying assets in its funds; and (3) the AUM measures that it uses internally or believes are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, AGM’s calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

Co-Investment Opportunities

11

(1) On March 29, 2016, the Company received an exemptive order from the SEC permitting greater flexibility to participate in co-investment transactions with certain of its affiliates where terms other than price and quantity are negotiated, subject to the conditions included therein.

AINV received exemptive relief from the SEC permitting it to enter into previously prohibited negotiated joint transactions with other funds / entities managed by AGM, including MidCap, (1)

We believe that the scale of AINV, MidCap and other Apollo managed capital, on a combined basis, makes us one of the largest market participants uniquely positioned to make large commitments

  • We believe exemptive relief to co-invest should improve AINV’s competitive positioning

– Allows AINV to compete more on the basis of size / scale and certainty of execution, rather than simply on price – Enhances ability to originate larger transactions with the ability to hold and / or syndicate loans – Expected to increase deal flow ─ number and variety of deals – Ability to partner with MidCap which provides AINV with access to MidCap’s expertise in niche markets with high barriers to entry – Already seeing a strong pipeline of co-investment opportunities with MidCap

  • AINV does not lend to portfolio companies owned by AGM’s private equity funds

Increased Bank Regulation & Deleveraging

Impact on Banks New Regulations Asset Quality Review Solvency II Directive Basel III Dodd-Frank / Volcker Rule Large Bank Supplementary Leverage Ratio

  • 1. Risk Based Capital Ratio

– Higher capital requirements (>10% likely)

  • 2. Total Leverage Ratio

– Captures all bank assets, including off balance sheet assets and unfunded commitments

  • 3. Classified Loan Status

– More difficulty underwriting higher leveraged transactions

  • 4. Liquidity Ratios

– Limits dependence on short-term funding markets

Investment Strategy

  • Increase exposure to senior secured loans sourced by Apollo’s direct origination platform
  • Focus on floating rate loans
  • Transition away from certain existing specialty verticals
  • Add exposure in first lien loans in life sciences, asset-based lending, and lender finance
  • Improve credit quality of portfolio
  • Emphasize portfolio diversification and avoid outsized single name or industry concentrations

We intend to reposition our portfolio in such a way that we believe will have a lower risk profile and less volatility Specifically, we will endeavor to:

With the successful execution of this repositioning plan, we believe that AINV should generate consistent and sustainable ROEs

AINV / MidCap Product Overlap

Asset-Based Lending

  • Secured loans to manufacturing, distribution, retail and services companies
  • Core product consists of revolvers advancing against accounts receivable and inventory; will

selectively include term loans against fixed assets or as supported by cash flow

  • High-touch asset class requiring liquidity for daily revolver fundings, collateral evaluation and diligence

expertise, borrowing base monitoring capabilities and complex cash dominion structures

  • Leverages MidCap’s in-place portfolio and collateral monitoring infrastructure

Life Sciences Lending

  • Low loan-to-value loans, covered by material asset values and cash on hand, made to borrowers in

product development (e.g., biotech companies) or early commercialization

  • Enterprise value loans
  • Niche market with what we believe to be disproportionate risk reward – almost no historical losses

across market

  • Typically have multiple sources of exit including strong equity support, well funded balance sheets,

and liquidation value

  • No underwriting of science – only of cash support and development timeline

Lender Finance

  • Senior secured facilities made to lenders in various industries (consumer and commercial) secured by

their underlying collateral

  • Typically benefit from multiple levels of credit support and protection in addition to support of

underlying borrowers

  • Defined eligibility criteria or loan-by-loan approval, borrowing base structure with ability to remove

specific assets, and corporate and/or personal recourse with various restrictive covenants

  • Highly structured transactions skewing towards larger commitments ($25+ million) to provide

diversification of underlying collateral

  • Significant opportunities exist to fill the capital void left by large banks exiting and descaling in this

asset class

Aircraft Leasing

Favorable Industry Fundamentals

AINV established a wholly owned portfolio company Merx Aviation Finance, LLC (“Merx”) to participate in aircraft leasing

  • Healthy global passenger traffic expected to continue

– Since the 1970’s, air traffic has roughly doubled every 15 years (1) – During the past 20 years global passenger traffic has expanded at an average annual growth rate of 5.1%, while global GDP grew by an average annual rate of 3.7% over the same period. (2)

  • Global fleet growth
  • Strong demand for leased aircraft driven by

movement of aircraft off of airlines’ balance sheets to lessor balance sheets

  • Rational OEM supply
  • Long technology cycles
  • Airlines prospering
  • Traditional capital providers to the space (other than

new deliveries) have been pulling back

  • Lack of central clearinghouse for aircraft trading

causes market to be inefficient

  • High barriers to entry

Investment Thesis / Strategy

  • Focus on the most liquid and in-demand aircraft

– Generally targeting used current generation Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft

  • Older aircraft transactions expected to be protected

by the underlying “metal” value of the aircraft

  • Deploying an opportunistic, transaction driven

strategy while leveraging strong relationships and specialized knowledge creates attractive investment

  • pportunities
  • Continually optimize portfolio through aircraft

acquisitions and dispositions

  • Maintain a highly diversified portfolio in terms of

aircraft type, lessee, geography

Regulatory Reform is Changing the Lending Landscape

37

We believe the evolving bank regulatory environment will limit banks’ willingness and / or ability to make leveraged loans, which is expected to result in new opportunities for non-bank capital providers, such as BDCs

KEY DATES DESCRIPTION IMPACT

Risk-based Capital Ratios Basel III Phase-in 2014-2019

  • Higher risk weightings on non-investment grade securities
  • Capital surcharge for 8 U.S. global systemically important

banks (“G-SIBs”) and their U.S. insured depository institutions (“IDI”)

  • Minimum common equity, Tier 1 and Total Capital ratios

are 7.0%, 8.5% and 10.5%, respectively, inclusive of 2.5% capital conservation buffer

  • Common equity capital surcharge between 1% to 2.5% for

G-SIBs Supplementary Leverage Ratio Implementation January 2018

  • Supplementary leverage ratio captures many off balance

sheet exposures including unfunded commitments

  • At least 5% for G-SIBs and 6% for IDI subsidiaries vs. 3%

for others Leveraged Lending Guidance Guidance Effective May 2013 More Specific Guidance December 2013 and November 2014 Reviews Began May 2014 Heighted Scrutiny September 2014

  • Increases universe of what is considered a leveraged loan
  • Establishes minimum lending standards
  • Changes in “criticized loan” rules may make underwriting

higher leverage transactions (i.e., LBOs) more difficult for the largest banks

  • “No exceptions policy” on new issuance
  • Expected to comply whether originating loans to hold or

distribute, even if entire deal is syndicated

  • Shifted to a deal-by-deal review and collecting data

monthly

  • Leveraged lending presumed at:

‒ Senior Debt-to-EBITDA > 3:1 ‒ Total Debt-to-EBITDA > 4:1

  • Loans levered > 6x “raises concerns”
  • 50% repayment standard over 5 to 7 year period
  • Regulators monitoring covenant-lite and PIK-toggle

structures Risk Retention Rules Final Rules Approved October 2014 Implementation 2016

  • Requires CLO managers to retain an economic interest

without selling or hedging for the life of the securitization

  • CLO managers must retain a 5% interest in all CLOs they

sponsor The Volcker Rule Finalized December 2013 Implementation July 2015

  • Prohibits banks from sponsoring a covered fund (e.g.,

hedge fund, private equity fund), subject to limited exceptions

  • Limits banks’ fund ownership interest, subject to limited

exceptions

  • Banks may not invest more than 3% of Tier 1 capital in

covered funds they are permitted to sponsor

  • Banks cannot represent more than 3% of the total capital
