Disclaimers, Definitions, and Important Notes 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 other risks associated with 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 or 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.

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 obligations 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. 2
