Disclaimers, Definitions, and Important Notes

AUM DefinitionAssets 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 totheir 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 investorspursuant 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 totalcommitments 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 obligations or certaincollateralized 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/orcapital 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 AGMmanages; 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-qualificationbefore 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 itcharges 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 managementagreements. 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 theinvestment 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 believesare used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, AGM’s calculation of AUM maydiffer 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 investmentmanagers.

Key Elements of Our Plan 1

Incremental investment capacity will be used to significantly increase AINV’s exposure to senior first lien floating leveraged loans sourced by Apollo’s Direct Origination platform with the following characteristics:

– Leverage range of 4.0x to 5.5x– Floating rate spreads ~500 to 700 basis points– ~ 1 to 1.5% position sizes

Prudently increase leverage over the next 18 to 24 months with a target debt-to-equity range of 1.25x – 1.40x

Reduce exposure to remaining non-core assets

Tangible improvements to the quality of AINV’s assets

Base management fee decreases to 1% on assets financed with leverage over 1.0x debt-to-equity

Plan for Reduction in Asset Coverage Requirement

1 Subject to change at any notice.

On April 4, 2018, AINV’s Board approved the increase in allowable leverage as permitted under SBCAA which will go into effect on April 4, 2019

15

We believe that the ability to increase our leverage provides a unique opportunity for AINV given the robust volume of senior floating rate assets already originated by the Apollo Direct Origination platform

Reasons to Own AINV

26

Notes: Reflects the views of Apollo. For detailed information on risks relating to AINV, see the latest 10-K and subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, filed with the SEC.1 The Company announced that on April 4, 2018, its Board of Directors approved the application of the modified asset coverage requirements set forth in new Section 61(a)(2) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended by the SBCAA. As a result, the asset coverage ratio test applicable to the Company will be decreased from 200% to 150%, effective April 4, 2019. 2 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.

1 Origination platform is highly differentiated versus other market participants

2 Uniquely positioned to benefit from increase in regulatory leverage 1

3 Receipt of exemptive relief to co-invest enhances competitive positioning 2

4 Plan for reduction in asset coverage requirement should deliver improved shareholder returns and provide significant investment capacity

5 Well-positioned to benefit from rising interest rates

6 Strong balance sheet and diverse funding sources

7 Fee structure closely aligns the incentives of the manager with the interests of shareholders

8 Active share repurchase program

Specialty Niches

Asset Based

• 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

• 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

• 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

• We believe significant opportunities exist to fill the capital void left by large banks exiting and descaling in this asset class
