Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. New Director Appointment On October 20, 2026, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apollo Global Management, Inc. (“AGM”) (i) voted to increase the size of the Board to fourteen (14) directors and (ii) appointed Mr. Meyer “Micky” Malka to fill the resulting vacancy. Both the Board size increase and Mr. Malka’s appointment to the Board will be effective as of January 1, 2027. The Board has determined that Mr. Malka is an independent director as defined by the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. There are no actual or proposed transactions between Mr. Malka or any of his related persons and AGM that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. Mr. Malka is expected to enter into a standard indemnification agreement in substantially the same form that AGM has entered into with its other non-employee directors. For his services as an independent director of the Board, he will be entitled to compensation in line with compensation paid by AGM to its other non-employee directors.
