SCHEDULE 13D

This Amendment No. 21 amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") by Joshua Harris and MJH Partners II LLC on January 11, 2022, relating to the shares of the common stock, par value $0.00001 per share ("Common Stock"), of Apollo Global Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Issuer") (as so amended, the "Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 21 is being filed to reflect (i) the transfer by MJH Partners II LLC of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to MJH Partners III LLC, an estate planning vehicle for which Joshua Harris exercises voting and investment control and (ii) the entry into delayed draw variable share forward sale transactions by MJH Partners III LLC which relate to up to 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

Item 3 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following sentence immediately after the last paragraph of such item:

No funds or consideration was paid for the transfer by MJH Partners II LLC of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock to MJH Partners III LLC.

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is amended by adding the following paragraphs immediately prior to the penultimate paragraph of such item:

On October 1, 2024, MJH Partners II LLC contributed and transferred 500,000 shares of Common Stock to MJH Partners III LLC, and on October 2, 2024, MJH Partners II LLC contributed and transferred an additional 500,000 shares of Common Stock to MJH Partners III LLC.

On October 1, 2024, MJH Partners III LLC (the "Counterparty") entered into a Delayed Draw Variable Share Forward Sale Transaction with UBS, AG, London Branch ("UBS") pursuant to a Master Confirmation entered into between the Counterparty and UBS, dated February 20, 2024 (the "UBS Forward Contract"). On October 2, 2024, the Counterparty entered into a Delayed Draw Variable Share Forward Sale Transaction with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association ("Wells Fargo" and, together with UBS, the "Banks") pursuant to a Master Confirmation entered into between the Counterparty and Wells Fargo, dated September 19, 2023 (the "Wells Fargo Forward Contract" and, together with the UBS Forward Contract, the "Forward Contracts"). The Forward Contracts obligate the Counterparty to deliver to the Banks on specified dates in January of 2030 (in the case of the UBS Forward Contract) and in February of 2030 (in the case of the Wells Fargo Forward Contract) (each, a "Settlement Date"), at the Counterparty's option, up to an aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock pledged by the Counterparty or, subject to certain conditions, an equivalent amount of cash.

The Forward Contracts obligate the Counterparty to deliver to the Banks up to an aggregate number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to the number of shares of Common Stock pledged by the

CUSIP No. 03769M 106 Page 6 of 8

SCHEDULE 13D

Counterparty or, subject to certain conditions and at the Counterparty's option, an equivalent amount of cash. The Counterparty pledged (i) an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "UBS Pledged Shares") to secure its obligations under the UBS Forward Contract and (ii) an aggregate of 500,000 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock (the "Wells Fargo Pledged Shares" and, together with the UBS Pledged Shares, the "Pledged Shares") to secure its obligations under the Wells Fargo Forward Contract. The Counterparty retains ownership and voting and ordinary dividend rights in the Pledged Shares during the term of the pledges (and thereafter if the Counterparty settles the Forward Contracts in cash), subject to certain payments the Counterparty may need to make to the Banks with respect to dividends under the terms of the Forward Contracts.

Under the terms of the Forward Contracts, the Counterparty may, at its election, subject to certain terms and conditions, receive a prepayment from the Banks with respect to some or all portions of the transactions covered by the Forward Contracts, equal to the present value as of the relevant funding date of the payment of the Floor Price (as defined below) at maturity of the transactions.

For each of the up to twelve (12) components of each Forward Contract for which a prepayment has been paid to the Counterparty by the applicable Bank, the number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock to be delivered to such Bank on each Settlement Date (or on which to base the amount of cash to be delivered to such Bank on such Settlement Date) is to be determined as follows: (a) if the per-share volume weighted average price of the Issuer's Common Stock on the related valuation date (the "Settlement Price") is less than or equal to a floor price that will be determined following a hedging period (the "Floor Price"), the Counterparty will deliver to such Bank the ratable portion of the applicable Pledged Shares to be delivered with respect to each Settlement Date (such number of shares, the "Number of Shares"); (b) if the Settlement Price is between the Floor Price and a cap price that will be determined following a hedging period (the "Cap Price"), the Counterparty will deliver to such Bank a number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to the Number of Shares multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Floor Price and the denominator of which is the Settlement Price; and (c) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, the Counterparty will deliver to such Bank a number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock equal to the product of (i) the Number of Shares and (ii) a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the sum of (x) the Floor Price and (y) the Settlement Price minus the Cap Price, and (b) the denominator of which is the Settlement Price.

For each of the up to twelve (12) components of each Forward Contract for which a prepayment has not been paid to the Counterparty by the applicable Bank, the number of shares of the Issuer's Common Stock to be delivered to such Bank on each Settlement Date (or on which to base the amount of cash to be delivered to such Bank on such Settlement Date) is to be determined as follows: (a) if the Settlement Price is greater than the Cap Price, such Bank will pay to the Counterparty the Cap Price multiplied by the Number of Shares, and the Counterparty will deliver to such Bank a number of shares equal to the Number of Shares; (b) if the Settlement Price is less than the Floor Price, the Counterparty will deliver to such Bank a number of shares equal to the Number of Shares, and such Bank will pay to the Counterparty the Floor Price multiplied by the Number of Shares; or (c) if the Settlement Price is between the Floor Price and the Cap Price, no payment or delivery of shares will be made by either party.
