Exchange Mechanics (cont'd)
Exchange Date
• For shares that will be sold in an underwritten public offering, the exchange date will be the
closing date of such offering (or the prior business day if required by APO's transfer agent)
• For shares that will be transferred other than in a public offering:
If a notice of exchange is submitted for ONE OF EITHER a charitable OR a non-charitable
exchange, the exchange date will be the opening date of the next trading window
• The Q4 2014 exchange datefor ONE OF EITHER a charitable OR a non-charitable
exchange will be November 3, 2014
If a notice of exchange is submitted for BOTH a charitable AND a non-charitable
exchange, the exchange date for the non-charitable exchange will be the opening date of
the next trading window, and the exchange date for the charitable exchange will be the
first business day that is at least ii calendar days following the non-charitable exchange
• If BOTH a charitable AND a non-charitable exchange are requestedfor Q4 2014, the
exchange datefor the non-charitable exchange will be November 3, 2014, and the
exchange datefor the charitable exchange will be November 14, 2014

Revocation
• Exchanges can be revoked:
• in the case of any exchange, if the price per share on the business day prior to
revocation has dropped 1O% or more since the deadline for delivery of the
applicable notice of exchange; and
• in the case of an underwritten public offering, if the gross price in the offering
is at least 1O% lower than the price per share on the date the notice of
exchange was delivered
• BUT if an exchange is revoked, the revoking AOG unitholder will be locked out of
making an exchange in the next upcoming quarter
- The deadline to revoke an exchange noticed on or before September 4, 2014,
for shares that will be transferred other than in a public offering, is
October 31, 2014, but only if the APO stock price has dropped at least 10%
since September 4, 2014

Resale Scenarios
> Sales in Underwritten Offerings
• Any underwritten offering would include features such as a greenshoe
(overallotment option), underwriter discount, lock-ups and potential cutbacks
• 75-day registration notice is required as described in Slide #4
• An underwritten offering must be made at a time when APO can prepare a
prospectus that includes all material information about the company

Resale Scenarios
Resales During Open Windows
• Resales may be made during open trading windows pursuant to Rule 144 or under APO's
resale shelf registration statement
• In addition to other requirements that we generally expect will be satisfied,'
Rule 144 imposes a volume limitation on sales such that, during any 3-month period, any
securities sold must not exceed the greater of 196 of the number of shares then outstanding
and the average weekly trading volume ("AWTV") for the 4 weeks preceding the first sale
As of the week of May 19, 2014,1% of the number of shares outstanding equals 1,491,026
shares and the AWTV for the preceding four weeks was 8,505,981 shares, so the Rule 144
volume limitation would permit the sale of 8,505,981 shares during the preceding 3
months
• Sales by BFP, members of the Black family and related entities (such as a family
foundation) may be aggregated for purposes of determining the amount of sales made
against the volume limit; the specific circumstances of any such sales should be
discussed with counsel
• If LB comes into possession of material non-public information ("MNPI") during an open
trading window, he would be prevented from selling unless the MNPI were to be disclosed
' Rule 144 also requires current public information about APO (not an Issue as long as APO is up-to-date on its public filings), certain
manner of sale restrictions (sales must be made in ordinary "broker transactions") and notice of the proposed sale (seller must file a
Form mg with the SEC)

Resale Scenarios
> Sales Pursuant to iobc-i Plans
• A iob5-1 Plan can be established during an open trading window while LB is not
in possession of MNPI
• Once established, resales can continue even when the trading window is closed
(whether or not LB is then in possession of MNPI)
• Resales under a lob5-1 Plan will generally be made pursuant to Rule 144
• lob5-1 Plans generally do not accommodate resales off of a shelf
• A iob5-1 Plan can be set to control the number of shares to be sold, the price for
such sales and the period during which such sales should be made
• Current APO policy is that 10b5-1 Plans must have a minimum term of 6 months
• A iob5-1 Plan can also be set to terminate in the event that APO receives a
demand for an underwritten offering in which BFP can participate so that the
shares under the Plan can be sold in the offering
• Note: this election would need to be made at the time the Plan is established

Resale Scenarios
> Private Resales
• APO shares may be sold in a private resale if the private resale would qualify as a
private placement if conducted directly by APO
• A private resale can occur:
• During an open window; or
• During a blackout period if:
• The buyer agrees to "big boy" reps and warranties (including recognition
that LB may be in possession of MNPI); or
• Any MNPI in LB's possession is shared with the buyer pursuant to a
confidentiality agreement that is satisfactory to the buyer and APO

Securities Filings
> Any exchange of AOG units for shares of APO stock (but not the notice of any such
exchange) will trigger a Form 4 filing for LB, which must be made within 2 business
days of the applicable exchange
■ For the Q4 2014 Exchange Date of November 3, 2014, a Form 4filing would be
required by no later than io:oo p.m. on November 5, 2014
> Any sale of APO stock (whether in an underwritten public offering, pursuant to
Rule 144 or otherwise) will trigger a Form 4 filing for LB, which must be made within
2 business days of the applicable sale
> A bona fide gift of APO stock made following a charitable exchange will not
necessitate a Form 4 filing for LB
■ However, if the transaction is not voluntarily reported on the Form 4 filing in
connection with the applicable exchange, it must be reported on a Form 5 filing
no later than February 14 of the following year
> If an order is placed with a broker to execute a sale of APO stock pursuant to
Rule 144, a Form 144 must be mailed to the SEC on the same day
