Apollo Diversified Credit Fund

Monthly Fund Update – August 31, 2026

 

About the Fund

 

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (“ADCF,” the “Fund,” Nasdaq: CRDIX) is a continuously offered, diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. ADCF seeks to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation through a multi-asset credit strategy spanning both public and private credit markets. Leveraging Apollo Global Management, Inc.’s (together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”) global credit platform, the Fund dynamically allocates across corporate direct lending, performing credit, and asset-backed finance. This flexible approach aims to deliver attractive current income and risk-adjusted returns, and Apollo’s investment philosophy emphasizes downside protection1 with low correlation to traditional credit markets. As an interval fund, ADCF offers periodic liquidity through quarterly share repurchases at net asset value.2

Market Overview12

 

Risk assets rallied in August amid geopolitical optimism and strong corporate earnings, while Treasuries were whipsawed by shifting expectations for monetary policy and mounting fiscal concerns.

 

The 30-year Treasury yield touched 5.31% on August 17, its highest level since June 2007, but closed the month at 5.25%. The 10-year ended unchanged at 4.75%, leaving the two-to-30-year yield curve 8 basis points (bps) flatter at 91 bps.

 

The ICE BofA US High Yield Index returned 1% as its option-adjusted spread tightened 22 bps to 263 bps. BB spreads tightened 21 bps to 152 bps and single-Bs 32 bps to 272 bps, while CCCs widened 8 bps to 1,042 bps. High yield funds lost $1.2 billion in the week of August 27, the largest weekly outflow in 21 weeks. Gross issuance reached $224 billion for the year through August, against net issuance of just $35 billion. The ICE BofA Euro High Yield Index returned 0.3% as its spread tightened 6 bps to 259 bps.

 

The Morningstar LSTA US Leveraged Loan Index returned 0.93%, taking its gain to 1.74% for the quarter and 3.07% for the year. Single-B loans gained 0.65 bps to 97.30 and tightened 21 bps; Caa loans lost 0.76 points to 76.50 and widened 45 bps to 1,586 bps; the Ca and D-rated bucket fell 3.52 bps to 33.82. Technology, 2026’s worst-performing loan sector, led August with a gain of 1.33 bps to 90.97 and 47 bps of tightening.

Class I Net Performance as of 8/31/263

 

 

Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and is net of all Fund expenses. Fund returns greater than one year are annualized. Fund returns would have been lower had expenses not been waived during the period. The Fund return does not reflect the deduction of any applicable Fund share class sales load, third-party brokerage commissions or third-party investment advisory fees paid by investors to a financial intermediary for such services. If the deduction of such fees was reflected, the performance would be lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment. Note on Fund distributions: Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, available at www.apollo.com/adcf for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution, which includes a de minimis return of capital. The most recent performance is available at www.apollo.com/adcf or by calling 888.926.2688. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The Fund offers multiple different classes of shares. An investment in any share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions, ongoing fees, expenses, distributions, and performance for each share class are different.

 

For more information on the differences in share classes, refer to the Fund’s Prospectus, as amended from time to time, (the “Prospectus”), which can be found at: www.apollo.com/adcf. The views expressed here are Apollo’s own, unless otherwise noted.

ADCF MONTHLY FUND UPDATE: AUGUST 31, 2026 

 

Portfolio Commentary

 

Performance

 

In August, the Fund’s Class I shares returned +0.97% gross / +0.80% net, compared with +0.96% for the 50/50 blend of the ICE BofA US High Yield Index and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index.

 

Year-to-date, the Fund has returned 3.13% net, outperforming the blended index. Relative outperformance is more pronounced over the one- and three-year periods. This has been supported by the higher income earned from our allocation to private securities, backed by assets originated through Apollo’s platform. Within the public credit portfolio, returns have also been driven by disciplined, bottom-up security selection and actively shifting exposure toward opportunities offering more attractive relative value. On a trailing 12-month basis, the Fund has returned 6.6% net, compared with 4.8% for both the ICE BofA US High Yield Index and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, reflecting the Fund’s objective of delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns across market environments.

 

From a positioning standpoint, the Fund participated in Project Falcon, a private financing to a large, diversified U.S. midstream business. We believe the investment offers attractive income with investment-grade credit quality, supported by strong, predominantly fee-based cash flows and meaningful structural protections. We believe the opportunity offers an attractive risk-adjusted return with limited sensitivity to commodity prices, while also showcasing the depth of the Fund’s origination ecosystem and access to differentiated private credit opportunities.

 

Outlook

 

Looking ahead, we expect the majority of the Fund’s income to be driven by strong carry captured through our private origination platform, providing a stable base of income and ballast to the portfolio.

 

Within the liquid performing credit sleeve, current spread levels warrant a patient and selective approach to deployment. We continue to focus on idiosyncratic opportunities and high-conviction positions that meet our underwriting standards and offer attractive risk-adjusted returns with meaningful downside protection.1

ADCF MONTHLY FUND UPDATE: AUGUST 31, 2026 

 

Direct Lending

 

●The Fund’s Direct Lending strategy targets large scale private corporate originations and sponsor-backed issuers, utilizing Apollo’s established sourcing channel, primarily focused on first lien, senior secured or unitranche term loans. This may include opportunities within credit secondaries and middle market direct lending.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, 62% of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to Direct Lending across 141 issuers with a weighted average EBITDA of approximately $274 million15 and weighted average net LTV of approximately 46%,16 reflecting our focus on large corporate issuers and top-of-capital structure allocations.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, the weighted average yield of the Direct Lending strategy was 11.1%.

Direct Lending Breakdown

 

Weighted Average EBITDA: $274,388,45915

 

 

The Fund’s long-term allocation target for Direct Lending is 40-60%.

 

 

 

Asset-Backed Finance

 

●The Fund’s Asset-Backed Finance strategy focuses on agile deployment of capital into origination and established sourcing channels across a broad mandate of asset-backed investments, with a focus on investments collateralized by tangible assets.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, 10% of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to the Asset-Backed Finance strategy. We believe these assets may present an attractive risk-return profile through less correlated and, in our opinion, more stable collateral pools.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, the weighted average yield of the Asset-Backed Finance strategy was 8.8%.

Asset-Backed Finance Breakdown

 

 

 

 

Performing Credit

 

●The Fund’s Performing Credit strategy focuses on liquid, performing senior secured corporate credit, with flexibility to deploy contingent capital opportunistically during periods of market dislocation.

 

●The Fund’s exposure within this strategy is predominantly focused on senior secured positions across industries with business models that have historically demonstrated strong cash flow across various economic environments. The Fund’s portfolio allocation is currently tilted towards floating rate assets over fixed rate assets, consistent with our views of a higher for longer interest rate environment.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, 28% of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to the Performing Credit strategy, which represents the second highest allocation in the Fund, across 82 issuers with a weighted average yield of 9.1%.

Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution, available at www.apollo.com/adcf, and the Fund’s semi-annual or annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and available on the Fund’s website for additional information regarding the composition of distributions.

It is important to note that differences exist between the Fund’s accounting records prepared in accordance with GAAP and recordkeeping practices required under income tax regulations. Therefore, the characterization of Fund distributions for federal income tax purposes may be different from GAAP characterization estimates. The determination of what portion of each year’s distributions constitutes ordinary income, qualifying dividend income, short- or long-term capital gains or return of capital is determined at year-end and reported to shareholders on Form 1099-DIV, which is mailed every year in late January. The Fund does not provide tax advice. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Fund’s Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors. There is no assurance that the Fund’s distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed.

Annualized Return: Calculated by annualizing cumulative return (i.e., adjusting it for a period of one year). Annualized return includes capital appreciation and assumes a reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

 

Asset-Backed Securities (ABS): Financial securities backed by income-generating assets.

 

Attribution: An assessment of the performance of a portfolio or its investments.

 

Basis Point (bps): A unit of measure used to describe the percentage change. One basis point is equivalent to 0.01% (1/100th of a percent) or 0.0001 in decimal form.

 

Bond: A debt instrument, also considered a loan, that an investor makes to a corporation, government, federal agency or other organization (known as an issuer) in which the issuer typically agrees to pay the owner the amount of the face value of the bond on a future date, and to pay interest at a specified rate at regular intervals.

Glossary (continued)

 

Bond Rating: A method of evaluating the quality and safety of a bond. This rating is based on an examination of the issuer’s financial strength and the likelihood that it will be able to meet scheduled repayments. Ratings range from AAA (best) to D (worst). Bonds receiving a rating of BB or below are not considered investment grade because of the relative potential for issuer default.

 

Capital Stack: Refers to the hierarchy of debt and equity used to finance a borrower, ranked by priority of repayment. An investment’s position in the stack determines the level of protection and level of return an investor may expect. Positions higher in the capital stack generally offer lower risk and lower potential returns. Conversely, positions that are lower in the stack typically offer higher yields and greater risk. In credit investing, senior secured debt typically sits at the top of the capital stack, meaning it is generally backed by collateral and repaid first.

 

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A structured credit security backed by a pool of bank loans, structured so there are several classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches. Debt and equity securities of CLOs are sold in tranches where each CLO tranche has a different priority on distributions, unique risk exposures, and yield expectations based on the tranche’s place in the capital structure. Distributions begin with the senior debt tranches (CLO debt) and flow down to the equity tranches (CLO equity).

 

Cumulative Return: The compound return of an investment. It includes capital appreciation and assumes a reinvestment of dividends and distributions.

 

Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization (EBITDA): A statistic used to assess operating performance and profitability.

●Limited Liquidity. An investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity and is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. The Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange, and no secondary public market for the sale of the Fund’s shares exists, nor is one likely or expected to develop. As described in the Prospectus under “Quarterly Repurchases of Shares,” the Fund provides limited liquidity through quarterly offers to repurchase a limited amount of the Fund’s shares (at least 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares); however, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the shares that the investor desires to sell in the repurchase offer.

 

●Below Investment Grade. The Fund anticipates that it may invest substantially all of its assets in instruments that are rated below investment grade. Below investment grade instruments are commonly referred to as “junk” or high-yield instruments and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns, which could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such instruments to repay principal and pay interest thereon, increase the incidence of default for such instruments and severely disrupt the market value of such instruments.

 

●Use of Leverage. The Fund utilizes leverage which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in the Fund.

 

●Fees and Expenses. The Fund is subject to charges for management and other fees regardless of whether the Fund has a positive return. Please refer to the Prospectus for a complete description of expenses to be charged to the Fund.

 

●Distributions. The Fund will ordinarily pay distributions, if any, once a quarter. There is no assurance that the Fund’s distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed. The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that may be unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as return of capital and borrowings. Shareholders should note that a return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, available at www.apollo.com/adcf, for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution which includes a de minimis return of capital. The Fund’s semi-annual and annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are available on the Fund’s website and include additional information regarding the composition of distributions. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors.

 

●Potential Loss of Investment. Investing in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and no guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment strategy will be successful under all market conditions, nor do we guarantee any level of return or risk. An investment in the Fund could require a long-term commitment, with limited liquidity and the risk of loss of capital. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication, experience and willingness to evaluate the merits and bear the risks of such an investment. Such an investment is not suitable for all potential investors. Investors could lose part or all of an investment, and the Fund could incur losses in markets where major indices are rising and falling. Results could be volatile. Accordingly, investors should understand that past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results. Investors in the Fund should understand that the net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate, which may result in a loss of the principal amount invested. The Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the broad investment environment and capital markets in which the Fund invests. The value of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. The Fund is “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

 

●Highly Volatile Markets. The prices of financial instruments in which the Fund may invest can be highly volatile. The prices of instruments in which the Fund may invest are influenced by numerous factors, including interest rates, currency rates, default rates, governmental policies and political and economic events (both domestic and global). Moreover, political or economic crises, or other events may occur that can be highly disruptive to the markets in which the Fund may invest. In addition, governments from time to time intervene (directly and by regulation), which intervention may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and its investment activities. The Fund is also subject to the risk of a temporary or permanent failure of the exchanges and other markets on which its investments may trade. Sustained market turmoil and periods of heightened market volatility make it more difficult to produce positive trading results, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s strategies will be successful in such markets.

 

●Repurchase Offers. The Fund is an interval fund and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, will conduct repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding shares at net asset value, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has in the past received, and may in the future receive, repurchase requests that exceed the limits of a quarterly repurchase offer, and the Fund has in the past repurchased less than the full amount of shares requested, resulting in the repurchase of shares on a pro rata basis. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash, cash from the sale of shares or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance.

 

Neither the SEC nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

APOLLO DIVERSIFIED CREDIT FUND

 

NOTICE OF QUARTERLY REPURCHASE OFFER

 

**IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT THIS TIME, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS NOTICE**

 

September 24, 2026

 

Dear Apollo Diversified Credit Fund Shareholder,

 

Thank you for your investment. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the quarterly repurchase offer by Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”). Quarterly repurchase offers provide a degree of liquidity to shareholders of the Fund. You will receive a notice similar to this once per quarter. The Fund will offer to repurchase shares only during each regularly scheduled quarterly repurchase offer period.

 

The repurchase offer period will begin on September 24, 2026 and end on November 3, 2026 (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”). If you own shares through a financial intermediary, financial adviser or broker/dealer (“Financial Intermediary”), please contact your Financial Intermediary.

 

Please also note that Class C shareholders who tender for repurchase of such shareholder’s Class C shares such that they will have been held less than 365 days after purchase, as of the time of repurchase, will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the original purchase price which is payable to the Fund’s distributor out of the repurchase proceeds.

 

If you wish to tender shares, your Financial Intermediary will provide you with specific instructions. If you are unable to contact your Financial Intermediary or own shares directly and wish to tender shares, you can alternatively complete the Repurchase Request Form.

 

IMPORTANT

 

All repurchase requests must be received in good order prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline. The Repurchase Request Deadline will be strictly observed. If you fail to submit your repurchase request in proper form prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will not repurchase your shares or a portion thereof until a subsequent quarterly repurchase offer, at which time you must submit a new repurchase request for that offer. Shares would be subject to NAV fluctuation during that time.

 

If you have any questions, please refer to the attached Repurchase Offer or contact your Financial Intermediary. You may also contact us directly at 1-888-926-2688.

 

Sincerely,

 

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund

APOLLO DIVERSIFIED CREDIT FUND
REPURCHASE OFFER

 

1

 

THE OFFER

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is offering to repurchase, for cash, up to 5% of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares (Class A, Class C, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shares) (“Repurchase Offer Amount”) as of the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined below) at a price equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) of the applicable class of shares as of the close of regular business trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Repurchase Pricing Date (as defined below). The purpose of this offer is to provide a level of liquidity to shareholders, as no secondary market exists for these shares. This offer is not conditioned on the tender of any minimum number of shares. This offer is made subject to the terms and conditions made in this Repurchase Offer and the Fund’s current effective prospectus and statement of additional information.

2

 

NET ASSET VALUE

The Fund’s NAV on September 17, 2026 of the Class A shares (CRDTX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class C shares (CGCCX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class F shares (CRDFX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class I shares (CRDIX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class L shares (CRDLX) was $22.11 per share and of the Class M shares (CRDMX) was $22.06 per share. The NAV at which the Fund will repurchase shares will not be calculated until the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below).

 

The Fund’s NAV fluctuates. Therefore, the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV stated above or the date on which you submit your repurchase request.

 

The current NAV may be obtained by calling 1-888-926-2688 and asking for the most current NAV per share or by visiting www.apollo.com/adcf. The shares of the Fund are not traded on any organized market or securities exchange.

3

 

REPURCHASE REQUEST DEADLINE

All repurchase requests must be received in good order prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 3, 2026.

4

 

REPURCHASE PRICING DATE

The NAV used to calculate the repurchase price will be determined as of the close of regular business trading on the NYSE on November 3, 2026 (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”). There is a risk that the NAV per share fluctuates between the date on which you submit your repurchase request and the Repurchase Pricing Date, and that the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV on the date you submit your repurchase request.

5

 

PAYMENT FOR SHARES REPURCHASED

The Fund will pay repurchase proceeds within seven (7) calendar days from the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Fund will not charge a repurchase fee. However, as stated above, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply to Class C shares tendered for repurchase.

6

 

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF SHARES REPURCHASED

If shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if shareholders tender shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than one hundred (100) shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell as many of your shares as you desire to sell in the repurchase offer or in any subsequent repurchase offer. If a portion of your shares were not repurchased due to proration, you will have to wait until the next quarterly repurchase offer to submit a new repurchase request if you still wish to tender your shares for repurchase.

 

With respect to any required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan, it is the obligation of the shareholder to determine the amount of any such required minimum distribution and to otherwise satisfy the required minimum. In the event that shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, and the Fund repurchases shares on a pro rata basis, it may result in the shareholder not receiving the full amount of a required minimum distribution.

7

 

WITHDRAWAL OR MODIFICATION

Requests to repurchase shares may be withdrawn or modified at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 3, 2026.

8

 

SUSPENSION OR POSTPONEMENT OF REPURCHASE OFFER

The Fund may suspend or postpone this Repurchase Offer only by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, and only in the following limited circumstances:

 

●    If the repurchase of shares would cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code;

●    For any period during which the NYSE or any other market in which the securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which such trading is restricted;

●    For any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the Fund’s NAV of each of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shares; and

●    For any other periods that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may permit by order for the protection of shareholders.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

You should review the tax information in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information and consult with your tax adviser regarding any specific consequences, including potential state and local tax consequences, of participating in the repurchase. Generally, any tender of shares to the Fund would be treated as a taxable event and any gain or loss would be treated as a capital gain or loss, either short or long term, depending on the length of time the shares have been held.

10

 

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES ON CLASS C SHARES

Class A, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shareholders are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class C shareholders who tender for repurchase of such shareholder’s Class C shares such that they will have been held less than 365 days after purchase, as of the time of repurchase, will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the original purchase price which is payable to the Fund’s distributor out of the repurchase proceeds. The Fund or its designee may waive the imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge in the following shareholder situations: (1) shareholder death or (2) shareholder disability. Any such waiver does not imply that the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived at any time in the future or that such contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for any other shareholder.

11

 

NO REPURCHASE FEE

The Fund does not charge a transaction fee to repurchase Fund shares. However, as stated above, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply to Class C shares tendered for repurchase. If your shares are held at a Financial Intermediary, your intermediary may charge transaction or other fees in connection with your repurchase request.

12

 

REPURCHASE REQUESTS IN PROPER FORM

All questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including time and receipt) and acceptance of tenders of shares will be determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. The determination by the Fund shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of shares (even if such tenders are determined to be in good and proper form) and to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or to pay for any shares if, in the opinion of Fund’s counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of this offer or any defect in any tender of shares, whether generally or with respect to any particular shares or shareholders. The Fund’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of this offer shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of shares must be corrected within such times as the Fund shall, in its absolute discretion, decide. Tenders of shares will not be deemed to have been made until any defects or irregularities have been corrected or waived.

 

None of the Fund, Apollo Capital Credit Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”), Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), SS&C GIDS, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), nor any other person or entity is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

 

None of the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, nor the Distributor, is or will be obligated to ensure that your Financial Intermediary, or any other third party through which your shares may be held or registered, submits to you this Repurchase Offer or submits your tender of shares to the Fund on your behalf.

 

Neither the Fund nor its Board of Trustees makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering shares. Each shareholder must make an independent decision as to whether or not to tender shares and, if so, how many shares to tender.

 

No person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether shareholders should tender shares pursuant to this offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offer other than those contained herein or contained in the Fund’s current effective prospectus or statement of additional information. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund.

 

For additional information about this Repurchase Offer, contact your Financial Intermediary. If this repurchase request is due to shareholder death, please call the Fund at 1-888-926-2688 or contact your Financial Intermediary regarding additional required documentation (such as a death certificate).

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund

Monthly Fund Update – August 31, 2026

 

About the Fund

 

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (“ADCF,” the “Fund,” Nasdaq: CRDIX) is a continuously offered, diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. ADCF seeks to generate a return comprised of both current income and capital appreciation through a multi-asset credit strategy spanning both public and private credit markets. Leveraging Apollo Global Management, Inc.’s (together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”) global credit platform, the Fund dynamically allocates across corporate direct lending, performing credit, and asset-backed finance. This flexible approach aims to deliver attractive current income and risk-adjusted returns, and Apollo’s investment philosophy emphasizes downside protection1 with low correlation to traditional credit markets. As an interval fund, ADCF offers periodic liquidity through quarterly share repurchases at net asset value.2

Market Overview12

 

Risk assets rallied in August amid geopolitical optimism and strong corporate earnings, while Treasuries were whipsawed by shifting expectations for monetary policy and mounting fiscal concerns.

 

The 30-year Treasury yield touched 5.31% on August 17, its highest level since June 2007, but closed the month at 5.25%. The 10-year ended unchanged at 4.75%, leaving the two-to-30-year yield curve 8 basis points (bps) flatter at 91 bps.

 

The ICE BofA US High Yield Index returned 1% as its option-adjusted spread tightened 22 bps to 263 bps. BB spreads tightened 21 bps to 152 bps and single-Bs 32 bps to 272 bps, while CCCs widened 8 bps to 1,042 bps. High yield funds lost $1.2 billion in the week of August 27, the largest weekly outflow in 21 weeks. Gross issuance reached $224 billion for the year through August, against net issuance of just $35 billion. The ICE BofA Euro High Yield Index returned 0.3% as its spread tightened 6 bps to 259 bps.

Class I Net Performance as of 8/31/263

 

 

Past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results. Investment return and the principal value of an investment will fluctuate. Shares may be worth more or less than original cost when redeemed. Investing involves risk, including loss of principal. Performance includes reinvestment of distributions and is net of all Fund expenses. Fund returns greater than one year are annualized. Fund returns would have been lower had expenses not been waived during the period. The Fund return does not reflect the deduction of any applicable Fund share class sales load, third-party brokerage commissions or third-party investment advisory fees paid by investors to a financial intermediary for such services. If the deduction of such fees was reflected, the performance would be lower. Returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Investing in the Fund involves risks, including the risk that you may receive little or no return on your investment or that you may lose part or all of your investment. Note on Fund distributions: Shareholders should not assume that the source of a distribution from the Fund is net profit. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, available at www.apollo.com/adcf for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution, which includes a de minimis return of capital. The most recent performance is available at www.apollo.com/adcf or by calling 888.926.2688. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. The Fund offers multiple different classes of shares. An investment in any share class of the Fund represents an investment in the same assets of the Fund. However, the purchase restrictions, ongoing fees, expenses, distributions, and performance for each share class are different.

 

For more information on the differences in share classes, refer to the Fund’s Prospectus, as amended from time to time, (the “Prospectus”), which can be found at: www.apollo.com/adcf. The views expressed here are Apollo’s own, unless otherwise noted.

Portfolio Commentary

 

Performance

 

In August, the Fund’s Class I shares returned +0.97% gross / +0.80% net, compared with +0.96% for the 50/50 blend of the ICE BofA US High Yield Index and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index.

 

Year-to-date, the Fund has returned 3.13% net, outperforming the blended index. Relative outperformance is more pronounced over the one- and three-year periods. This has been supported by the higher income earned from our allocation to private securities, backed by assets originated through Apollo’s platform. Within the public credit portfolio, returns have also been driven by disciplined, bottom-up security selection and actively shifting exposure toward opportunities offering more attractive relative value. On a trailing 12-month basis, the Fund has returned 6.6% net, compared with 4.8% for both the ICE BofA US High Yield Index and the Morningstar LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, reflecting the Fund’s objective of delivering consistent risk-adjusted returns across market environments.

 

From a positioning standpoint, the Fund participated in Project Falcon, a private financing to a large, diversified U.S. midstream business. We believe the investment offers attractive income with investment-grade credit quality, supported by strong, predominantly fee-based cash flows and meaningful structural protections. We believe the opportunity offers an attractive risk-adjusted return with limited sensitivity to commodity prices, while also showcasing the depth of the Fund’s origination ecosystem and access to differentiated private credit opportunities.

 

Outlook

 

Looking ahead, we expect the majority of the Fund’s income to be driven by strong carry captured through our private origination platform, providing a stable base of income and ballast to the portfolio.

 

Within the liquid performing credit sleeve, current spread levels warrant a patient and selective approach to deployment. We continue to focus on idiosyncratic opportunities and high-conviction positions that meet our underwriting standards and offer attractive risk-adjusted returns with meaningful downside protection.1

Direct Lending

 

●The Fund’s Direct Lending strategy targets large scale private corporate originations and sponsor-backed issuers, utilizing Apollo’s established sourcing channel, primarily focused on first lien, senior secured or unitranche term loans. This may include opportunities within credit secondaries and middle market direct lending.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, 62% of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to Direct Lending across 141 issuers with a weighted average EBITDA of approximately $274 million15 and weighted average net LTV of approximately 46%,16 reflecting our focus on large corporate issuers and top-of-capital structure allocations.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, the weighted average yield of the Direct Lending strategy was 11.1%.

Direct Lending Breakdown

 

Weighted Average EBITDA: $274,388,45915

Asset-Backed Finance

 

●The Fund’s Asset-Backed Finance strategy focuses on agile deployment of capital into origination and established sourcing channels across a broad mandate of asset-backed investments, with a focus on investments collateralized by tangible assets.

 

●As of August 31, 2026, 10% of the Fund’s portfolio was allocated to the Asset-Backed Finance strategy. We believe these assets may present an attractive risk-return profile through less correlated and, in our opinion, more stable collateral pools.

The Fund’s portfolio allocation is currently tilted towards floating rate assets over fixed rate assets, consistent with our views of a higher for longer interest rate environment.

The Fund does not provide tax advice. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Fund’s Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors.

Glossary (continued)

 

Bond Rating: A method of evaluating the quality and safety of a bond. This rating is based on an examination of the issuer’s financial strength and the likelihood that it will be able to meet scheduled repayments. Ratings range from AAA (best) to D (worst). Bonds receiving a rating of BB or below are not considered investment grade because of the relative potential for issuer default.

 

Capital Stack: Refers to the hierarchy of debt and equity used to finance a borrower, ranked by priority of repayment. An investment’s position in the stack determines the level of protection and level of return an investor may expect. Positions higher in the capital stack generally offer lower risk and lower potential returns. Conversely, positions that are lower in the stack typically offer higher yields and greater risk. In credit investing, senior secured debt typically sits at the top of the capital stack, meaning it is generally backed by collateral and repaid first.

 

Collateralized Loan Obligation (CLO): A structured credit security backed by a pool of bank loans, structured so there are several classes of bondholders with varying maturities, called tranches. Debt and equity securities of CLOs are sold in tranches where each CLO tranche has a different priority on distributions, unique risk exposures, and yield expectations based on the tranche’s place in the capital structure. Distributions begin with the senior debt tranches (CLO debt) and flow down to the equity tranches (CLO equity).

ADCF MONTHLY FUND UPDATE: AUGUST 31, 2026 

 

Summary of Risk Factors

 

This material is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation to purchase any security. Prospective investors should carefully consider the investment objectives, risks, tax information, charges and expenses of Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund” or “ADCF”). This and other important information about the Fund is contained in the Prospectus, which can be obtained by visiting www.apollo.com/adcf. Please read the Prospectus carefully before investing.

 

The Fund is a continuously offered, diversified, closed-end management investment company that is operated as an interval fund. The Fund invests at least 80% of its Managed Assets in debt securities. Prior to investing, prospective investors should consult with their own tax and legal advisors. Prior to investing, prospective investors should consult with their own tax and legal advisors. This investment involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should invest in the Fund only if the investor can afford the complete loss of their investment. Prospective investors should carefully read the Prospectus for a description of the risks associated with an investment in the Fund in determining whether an investment in the Fund is suitable. These risks include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

●Limited Liquidity. An investor should consider an investment in the Fund to be of limited liquidity and is suitable only for investors who can bear the risks associated with the limited liquidity of the Fund and should be viewed as a long-term investment. The Fund’s shares are not listed on any securities exchange, and no secondary public market for the sale of the Fund’s shares exists, nor is one likely or expected to develop. As described in the Prospectus under “Quarterly Repurchases of Shares,” the Fund provides limited liquidity through quarterly offers to repurchase a limited amount of the Fund’s shares (at least 5% of the Fund’s outstanding shares); however, there is no guarantee that an investor will be able to sell all the shares that the investor desires to sell in the repurchase offer.

 

●Below Investment Grade. The Fund anticipates that it may invest substantially all of its assets in instruments that are rated below investment grade. Below investment grade instruments are commonly referred to as “junk” or high-yield instruments and are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. Lower grade instruments may be particularly susceptible to economic downturns, which could adversely affect the ability of the issuers of such instruments to repay principal and pay interest thereon, increase the incidence of default for such instruments and severely disrupt the market value of such instruments.

 

●Use of Leverage. The Fund utilizes leverage which will magnify the potential for loss on amounts invested in the Fund.

 

●Fees and Expenses. The Fund is subject to charges for management and other fees regardless of whether the Fund has a positive return. Please refer to the Prospectus for a complete description of expenses to be charged to the Fund.

 

●Distributions. The Fund will ordinarily pay distributions, if any, once a quarter. There is no assurance that the Fund’s distribution rate will be sustainable in the future nor are distributions guaranteed. The Fund may pay distributions in significant part from sources that may not be available in the future and that may be unrelated to the Fund’s performance, such as return of capital and borrowings. Shareholders should note that a return of capital will reduce the tax basis of their shares and potentially increase the taxable gain, if any, upon disposition of their shares. Please refer to the Fund’s most recent Section 19(a) notice, available at www.apollo.com/adcf, for an estimate of the composition of the Fund’s most recent distribution which includes a de minimis return of capital. The Fund’s semi-annual and annual reports filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) are available on the Fund’s website and include additional information regarding the composition of distributions. The Fund’s distributions may be affected by numerous factors, including but not limited to changes in Fund expenses including the amount of expenses waived by the Adviser, investment performance, realized and projected market returns, fluctuations in market interest rates, and other factors.

 

●Potential Loss of Investment. Investing in the Fund is speculative and involves a high degree of risk and no guarantee or representation is made that the Fund’s investment strategy will be successful under all market conditions, nor do we guarantee any level of return or risk. An investment in the Fund could require a long-term commitment, with limited liquidity and the risk of loss of capital. Investors must have the financial ability, sophistication, experience and willingness to evaluate the merits and bear the risks of such an investment. Such an investment is not suitable for all potential investors. Investors could lose part or all of an investment, and the Fund could incur losses in markets where major indices are rising and falling. Results could be volatile. Accordingly, investors should understand that past performance is not indicative nor a guarantee of future results. Investors in the Fund should understand that the net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate, which may result in a loss of the principal amount invested. The Fund’s investments may be negatively affected by the broad investment environment and capital markets in which the Fund invests. The value of the Fund’s investments will increase or decrease based on changes in the prices of the investments it holds. This will cause the value of the Fund’s shares to increase or decrease. The Fund is “diversified” under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended. Diversification does not eliminate the risk of experiencing investment losses. The Fund is not intended to be a complete investment program.

 

●Highly Volatile Markets. The prices of financial instruments in which the Fund may invest can be highly volatile. The prices of instruments in which the Fund may invest are influenced by numerous factors, including interest rates, currency rates, default rates, governmental policies and political and economic events (both domestic and global). Moreover, political or economic crises, or other events may occur that can be highly disruptive to the markets in which the Fund may invest. In addition, governments from time to time intervene (directly and by regulation), which intervention may adversely affect the performance of the Fund and its investment activities. The Fund is also subject to the risk of a temporary or permanent failure of the exchanges and other markets on which its investments may trade. Sustained market turmoil and periods of heightened market volatility make it more difficult to produce positive trading results, and there can be no assurance that the Fund’s strategies will be successful in such markets.

 

●Repurchase Offers. The Fund is an interval fund and, in order to provide liquidity to shareholders, the Fund, subject to applicable law, will conduct repurchase offers of the Fund’s outstanding shares at net asset value, subject to approval of the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Fund has in the past received, and may in the future receive, repurchase requests that exceed the limits of a quarterly repurchase offer, and the Fund has in the past repurchased less than the full amount of shares requested, resulting in the repurchase of shares on a pro rata basis. The Fund believes that these repurchase offers are generally beneficial to the Fund’s shareholders, and repurchases generally will be funded from available cash, cash from the sale of shares or sales of portfolio securities. However, repurchase offers and the need to fund repurchase obligations may affect the ability of the Fund to be fully invested or force the Fund to maintain a higher percentage of its assets in liquid investments, which may harm the Fund’s investment performance.

 

Neither the SEC nor any state securities regulator has approved or disapproved of these securities or determined if the Prospectus is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

This sales material must be accompanied or preceded by the Prospectus and must be read in conjunction with the Prospectus in order to fully understand all the implications and risks of an investment in the Fund.

APOLLO DIVERSIFIED CREDIT FUND

 

NOTICE OF QUARTERLY REPURCHASE OFFER

 

**IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO SELL YOUR SHARES AT THIS TIME, PLEASE DISREGARD THIS NOTICE**

 

September 24, 2026

 

Dear Apollo Diversified Credit Fund Shareholder,

 

Thank you for your investment. The purpose of this notice is to inform you of the quarterly repurchase offer by Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”). Quarterly repurchase offers provide a degree of liquidity to shareholders of the Fund. You will receive a notice similar to this once per quarter. The Fund will offer to repurchase shares only during each regularly scheduled quarterly repurchase offer period.

 

The repurchase offer period will begin on September 24, 2026 and end on November 3, 2026 (the “Repurchase Request Deadline”). If you own shares through a financial intermediary, financial adviser or broker/dealer (“Financial Intermediary”), please contact your Financial Intermediary.

 

Please also note that Class C shareholders who tender for repurchase of such shareholder’s Class C shares such that they will have been held less than 365 days after purchase, as of the time of repurchase, will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the original purchase price which is payable to the Fund’s distributor out of the repurchase proceeds.

 

If you wish to tender shares, your Financial Intermediary will provide you with specific instructions. If you are unable to contact your Financial Intermediary or own shares directly and wish to tender shares, you can alternatively complete the Repurchase Request Form.

 

IMPORTANT

 

All repurchase requests must be received in good order prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline. The Repurchase Request Deadline will be strictly observed. If you fail to submit your repurchase request in proper form prior to the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will not repurchase your shares or a portion thereof until a subsequent quarterly repurchase offer, at which time you must submit a new repurchase request for that offer. Shares would be subject to NAV fluctuation during that time.

 

If you have any questions, please refer to the attached Repurchase Offer or contact your Financial Intermediary. You may also contact us directly at 1-888-926-2688.

 

Sincerely,

 

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund

REPURCHASE OFFER

THE OFFER

Apollo Diversified Credit Fund (the “Fund”) is offering to repurchase, for cash, up to 5% of the Fund’s issued and outstanding shares (Class A, Class C, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shares) (“Repurchase Offer Amount”) as of the Repurchase Request Deadline (as defined below) at a price equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) of the applicable class of shares as of the close of regular business trading on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) on the Repurchase Pricing Date (as defined below). The purpose of this offer is to provide a level of liquidity to shareholders, as no secondary market exists for these shares. This offer is not conditioned on the tender of any minimum number of shares. This offer is made subject to the terms and conditions made in this Repurchase Offer and the Fund’s current effective prospectus and statement of additional information.

2

 

NET ASSET VALUE

The Fund’s NAV on September 17, 2026 of the Class A shares (CRDTX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class C shares (CGCCX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class F shares (CRDFX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class I shares (CRDIX) was $22.12 per share, of the Class L shares (CRDLX) was $22.11 per share and of the Class M shares (CRDMX) was $22.06 per share. The NAV at which the Fund will repurchase shares will not be calculated until the Repurchase Pricing Date (defined below).

 

The Fund’s NAV fluctuates. Therefore, the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV stated above or the date on which you submit your repurchase request.

 

The current NAV may be obtained by calling 1-888-926-2688 and asking for the most current NAV per share or by visiting www.apollo.com/adcf. The shares of the Fund are not traded on any organized market or securities exchange.

3

 

REPURCHASE REQUEST DEADLINE

All repurchase requests must be received in good order prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 3, 2026.

4

 

REPURCHASE PRICING DATE

The NAV used to calculate the repurchase price will be determined as of the close of regular business trading on the NYSE on November 3, 2026 (the “Repurchase Pricing Date”). There is a risk that the NAV per share fluctuates between the date on which you submit your repurchase request and the Repurchase Pricing Date, and that the NAV on the Repurchase Pricing Date may be higher or lower than the NAV on the date you submit your repurchase request.

5

 

PAYMENT FOR SHARES REPURCHASED

The Fund will pay repurchase proceeds within seven (7) calendar days from the Repurchase Pricing Date. The Fund will not charge a repurchase fee. However, as stated above, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply to Class C shares tendered for repurchase.

6

 

INCREASE IN NUMBER OF SHARES REPURCHASED

If shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, the Fund may, but is not required to, repurchase an additional amount of shares not to exceed 2% of the outstanding shares of the Fund on the Repurchase Request Deadline. If the Fund determines not to repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, or if shareholders tender shares in an amount exceeding the Repurchase Offer Amount plus 2% of the outstanding shares on the Repurchase Request Deadline, the Fund will repurchase the shares on a pro rata basis. However, the Fund may accept all shares tendered for repurchase by shareholders who own less than one hundred (100) shares and who tender all of their shares, before prorating other amounts tendered. There is no assurance that you will be able to sell as many of your shares as you desire to sell in the repurchase offer or in any subsequent repurchase offer. If a portion of your shares were not repurchased due to proration, you will have to wait until the next quarterly repurchase offer to submit a new repurchase request if you still wish to tender your shares for repurchase.

 

With respect to any required minimum distributions from an IRA or other qualified retirement plan, it is the obligation of the shareholder to determine the amount of any such required minimum distribution and to otherwise satisfy the required minimum. In the event that shareholders tender for repurchase more than the Repurchase Offer Amount, and the Fund repurchases shares on a pro rata basis, it may result in the shareholder not receiving the full amount of a required minimum distribution.

7

 

WITHDRAWAL OR MODIFICATION

Requests to repurchase shares may be withdrawn or modified at any time prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on November 3, 2026.

8

 

SUSPENSION OR POSTPONEMENT OF REPURCHASE OFFER

The Fund may suspend or postpone this Repurchase Offer only by a vote of a majority of the members of the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the independent Trustees, and only in the following limited circumstances:

 

●    If the repurchase of shares would cause the Fund to lose its status as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code;

●    For any period during which the NYSE or any other market in which the securities owned by the Fund are principally traded is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings, or during which such trading is restricted;

●    For any period during which an emergency exists as a result of which it is not reasonably practicable for the Fund to dispose of securities it owns or to determine the Fund’s NAV of each of the Fund’s Class A, Class C, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shares; and

●    For any other periods that the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission may permit by order for the protection of shareholders.

TAX CONSEQUENCES

You should review the tax information in the Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information and consult with your tax adviser regarding any specific consequences, including potential state and local tax consequences, of participating in the repurchase. Generally, any tender of shares to the Fund would be treated as a taxable event and any gain or loss would be treated as a capital gain or loss, either short or long term, depending on the length of time the shares have been held.

10

 

CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGES ON CLASS C SHARES

Class A, Class F, Class I, Class L and Class M shareholders are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge. Class C shareholders who tender for repurchase of such shareholder’s Class C shares such that they will have been held less than 365 days after purchase, as of the time of repurchase, will be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% of the original purchase price which is payable to the Fund’s distributor out of the repurchase proceeds. The Fund or its designee may waive the imposition of the contingent deferred sales charge in the following shareholder situations: (1) shareholder death or (2) shareholder disability. Any such waiver does not imply that the contingent deferred sales charge will be waived at any time in the future or that such contingent deferred sales charge will be waived for any other shareholder.

11

 

NO REPURCHASE FEE

The Fund does not charge a transaction fee to repurchase Fund shares. However, as stated above, a contingent deferred sales charge may apply to Class C shares tendered for repurchase. If your shares are held at a Financial Intermediary, your intermediary may charge transaction or other fees in connection with your repurchase request.

12

 

REPURCHASE REQUESTS IN PROPER FORM

All questions as to validity, form, eligibility (including time and receipt) and acceptance of tenders of shares will be determined by the Fund in its sole discretion. The determination by the Fund shall be final and binding. The Fund reserves the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of shares (even if such tenders are determined to be in good and proper form) and to refuse to accept for payment, purchase, or to pay for any shares if, in the opinion of Fund’s counsel, accepting, purchasing or paying for such shares would be unlawful. The Fund also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of this offer or any defect in any tender of shares, whether generally or with respect to any particular shares or shareholders. The Fund’s interpretations of the terms and conditions of this offer shall be final and binding. Unless waived, any defects or irregularities in connection with tenders of shares must be corrected within such times as the Fund shall, in its absolute discretion, decide.

None of the Fund, Apollo Capital Credit Adviser, LLC (the “Adviser”), Apollo Credit Management, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), SS&C GIDS, Inc. (the “Transfer Agent”), ALPS Distributors, Inc. (the “Distributor”), nor any other person or entity is or will be obligated to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders, nor shall any of them incur any liability for failure to give any such notice.

 

None of the Fund, the Adviser, the Sub-Adviser, nor the Distributor, is or will be obligated to ensure that your Financial Intermediary, or any other third party through which your shares may be held or registered, submits to you this Repurchase Offer or submits your tender of shares to the Fund on your behalf.

 

Neither the Fund nor its Board of Trustees makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering shares. Each shareholder must make an independent decision as to whether or not to tender shares and, if so, how many shares to tender.

 

No person has been authorized to make any recommendation on behalf of the Fund as to whether shareholders should tender shares pursuant to this offer. No person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representations in connection with this offer other than those contained herein or contained in the Fund’s current effective prospectus or statement of additional information. If given or made, such recommendation and such information and representation may not be relied upon as having been authorized by the Fund.

 

For additional information about this Repurchase Offer, contact your Financial Intermediary.
