Analyst questions

Apollo Global and SPACs, answered

The questions a desk actually asks about a bank's blank-check franchise, answered from Apollo Global's own mandates rather than from generic explainer copy.

Which SPACs has Apollo Global underwritten?

Apollo Global appears on the underwriting syndicate of 2 special purpose acquisition company IPOs in our index, including Acropolis Infrastructure Acquisition Corp. and Apollo Strategic Growth Capital II. The full list, with the role credited on each cover page, is in the mandates table on this page.

How many SPAC IPOs has Apollo Global book-run?

We have not indexed a book-running credit for Apollo Global; every mandate on record is a co-manager or syndicate position. Bookrunner status is read from the prospectus cover, so a blank can also mean the cover did not separate the roles.

How much SPAC capital has Apollo Global underwritten?

$526.8M of gross proceeds across every offering Apollo Global was named on. That is the conventional league-table measure, which credits the full deal to each syndicate member. The narrower figure is its own allocation: $195.0M, being the units the underwriting agreements assigned to Apollo Global specifically, priced at the $10 standard SPAC unit.

What is the largest SPAC IPO Apollo Global has worked on?

Acropolis Infrastructure Acquisition Corp., which raised $338.1M in Jul 2021. Apollo Global was credited as a syndicate member on that offering.

Which Apollo Global SPACs completed a business combination?

None of the SPACs Apollo Global underwrote has yet reported a completed business combination in the filings we index. 0 remain live and 2 returned their trust.

Which Apollo Global SPACs are still looking for a target?

Apollo Global has no live SPAC mandates in our index; every vehicle it underwrote has either closed a deal or wound up.

What is Apollo Global's SPAC completion rate?

0%. Of the 2 vehicles Apollo Global underwrote that have already resolved, 0 closed a business combination and 2 liquidated. The market-wide figure is 13.2%, so Apollo Global sits below it. SPACs still searching are excluded, because an unfinished clock is not a result. The rate measures the vehicles, not the bank: a syndicate has no control over whether a sponsor finds a target.

Which Apollo Global SPAC performed best after its merger?

We hold a current quote for none of Apollo Global's closed deals, so no comparison is possible here. Post-merger price history is not part of our dataset, and we would rather say so than imply a ranking the data does not support. What this page does show is the outcome of every vehicle and the trust economics disclosed at the time.

Which sponsors does Apollo Global work with most?

Acropolis Infrastructure (1 deal) and Apollo (1 deal). Sponsor franchises are resolved from the sponsor entity named in each prospectus, so repeat issuers group together even though every vehicle is a separate legal entity.

Which banks does Apollo Global share SPAC syndicates with?

Most often Credit Suisse (2), Barclays (2), Siebert Williams Shank (2), Evercore (1) and RBC Capital Markets (1). Syndicate composition is read from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section, so these are co-appearances on the same offering, not a commercial relationship we have any other visibility into.

When did Apollo Global start underwriting SPACs, and is it still active?

Its first SPAC IPO in our index priced Feb 11, 2021 and the most recent Jul 9, 2021. It has no live vehicles at present.

What size of SPAC does Apollo Global typically underwrite?

The average offering it has been named on raised $263.4M, against a range from $188.7M to $338.1M. Deal size is a reasonable proxy for where a house sits in the market: the bulge bracket concentrates on larger trusts, the SPAC specialists on smaller ones.

Which sectors do Apollo Global's SPACs target?

Industrials (1) and Generalist (1). Mandates are read from charter language in the prospectus and are often deliberately broad. Many SPACs reserve the right to pursue any industry, in which case no sector is tagged at all.

How many of Apollo Global's SPACs liquidated?

2. A liquidation means the vehicle reached its combination deadline without closing a deal and returned the trust to public shareholders. That is the mechanism working as designed, not a default. Holders who did not redeem got their pro-rata share of the trust back.

Where does this Apollo Global data come from?

Every figure is read from filings the registrants made with the SEC. Syndicate membership and role come from the prospectus cover and the underwriting section of each IPO prospectus (Form 424B4); outcomes come from the filing record: a current report announcing completion, or a delisting notice ending a liquidation. Nothing here is sourced from press coverage or from Apollo Global itself.

Every figure on this page is read from documents the registrants filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, principally IPO prospectuses (Form 424B4), current reports (Form 8-K), delisting notices (Form 25-NSE). Nothing is sourced from press coverage, from the companies themselves, or from a third-party aggregator. Where a filing does not disclose something, the field is left blank rather than estimated.
