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.

This presentation may contain statistics and other data that in some cases has been obtained from or compiled from information made available by thirdparty 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.

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. 1

Market Opportunity 10
Compelling Market Opportunity If the middle market were a stand-alone country, it would be the 3rd largest economy in the world (1) There are nearly 200,000 U.S. middle market businesses that represent onethird of private sector GDP, employing ~47.9 million people. 27% Middle Market Businesses Require Capital to Support Growth (1) (2) 6% Capital Expenditure 30% Information Technology Acquisitions United States China U.S. Middle Market Japan Germany 14% 23% Human Resources Other $ in billions Significant need for refinancing of existing loans made to middle market companies; Bulk of deals come due in 2021 (3) Middle Market Institutional Loan Maturities $34 $31 $28 $21 $17 $16 $17 Significant un-invested private equity capital should translate into strong loan demand (4) $ in billions $553 $800 $4 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 Dry Powder (Middle-market focused PE Firms) Implied potential loan demand (assuming 40% capitalization rate) (1) Source: National Center for the Middle Market 2Q 2017 and 3Q 2017 Middle Market Indicator.

Bank Regulation and Related Impact Banks Cautious Approach Total Number of U.S. Banks Continues to Decline (1) Post the Global Financial Crisis, there has been a significant impact on traditional financing sources and the global capital markets Banks have markedly decreased their underwriting exposure Regulatory scrutiny has continued to intensify and is particularly noticeable with the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency ( OCC ) leveraged lending guidance. Originally introduced in 2013, but has recently been more broadly enforced to reduce banks exposure to certain types of loans. 12,000 10,000 8,000 6,000 4,000 2,000 > 40% Decline since 2000 Impacting significant portion of high yield and loan markets 0 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 2005 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Leveraged Lending Guidance Banks Reduced Participation in Loan Market (2) Main requirements for financial institutions underwriting leveraged transactions include: Leverage: cannot exceed 4x EBITDA for senior debt or 6x for total debt (including all committed capital and assuming revolvers are drawn) Repayment: senior debt must fully amortize or total debt must be reduced by half using free cash flow within 5-7 years Covenants: adequate covenant protections, including financial maintenance covenants Collateral: protection against dilution, sale or exchange of collateral or cash flow producing assets 100% 80% 60% 40% 20% 0% 1994 1996 1998 2000 2002 2004 2006 2008 2010 2012 2014 2016 Banks & Securities Firms Non-banks (3) 3Q17 90% 10% Banks are participating in fewer junior capital transactions or syndicating increasing portions of their exposure Source: (1) FDIC as of June 30, 2017 FDIC-Insured commercial banks and savings institutions.

Investment Strategy 14
Investment Strategy Our portfolio repositioning strategy is based on the following key principles: Continue to increase exposure to core strategies which are: Senior secured traditional corporate loans sourced by Apollo s direct origination platform with a focus on first lien and floating rate loans First lien loans in life sciences, asset-based lending and lender finance, areas with significant barriers to entry and areas in which MidCap has expertise Continue to transition away from certain existing specialty verticals (1) or non-core strategies, which are higher on the risk spectrum and have more volatile returns Emphasize portfolio diversification and avoid outsized single name or industry concentrations With the continued successful execution of this repositioning plan, we believe that AINV should generate consistent and sustainable ROEs (1) Oil & gas, renewables, shipping and structured credit. 15
Significant Progress Repositioning Portfolio Deployed Significant Capital in Core Strategies (1) and Meaningfully Reduced Exposure to Non-Core (2) Strategies and Legacy Assets As of June 30, 2016 (3) Non-Core Strategies & Legacy 41% Core Strategies 59% Reduced exposure to non-core strategies (2) and legacy assets by $432 million (4) Invested approximately $1 billion in core strategies (1) (4) As of September 30, 2017 (3) Non-Core Strategies & Legacy 27% Core Strategies 73% Improved Risk Profile / Portfolio Composition Increased exposure to first lien and floating rate debt, reduced average company exposure and benefitted from As of June 30, 2017 co-investment (3) exemptive relief (5) As of June 30, 2016 (3) As of September 30, 2017 (3) First Lien Debt, as % of Total Portfolio 40% 48% Floating Rate Debt, as % of Total Portfolio (5) 77% 91% Average Company Exposure $ 32.3 million $27.1 million Co-Investments, as % of Total Portfolio (6) 0% 16% (1) Core strategies include corporate lending, aviation, life sciences, asset based and lender finance.(2) Non-core strategies include oil & gas, structured credit, renewables, shipping and commodities. (3) At fair value. (4) From July 1, 2016 through September 30, 2017. (5) The Company s interest rate type information is based on its corporate debt portfolio, exclusive of investments on non-accrual status. (6) 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. 16
Target Portfolio We intend to continue to increase our exposure to senior secured loan sourced by Apollo s direct origination team, while adding exposure in first lien loans in life sciences, asset-based lending, and lender finance areas with significant barriers to entry and areas in which MidCap has expertise Current Portfolio Asset Mix (1) Life Sciences & Asset Based Other 5% 4% Target Portfolio Asset Mix Life Sciences, Asset-Based Lending and Lender Finance ~20% to 25% Existing Specialty Verticals 23% (2) (2) Corporate Lending 50% Existing Specialty Verticals and Other ~7% Corporate Lending ~ 50% 60% Aircraft Leasing 18% Aircraft Leasing ~15% (1) As of September 30, 2017. On a fair value basis. (2) Existing specialty verticals includes oil & gas, renewables, shipping, structured credit and commodities. 17
Comprehensive Approach to Originations We believe that Apollo has one of the largest and most diverse origination teams in the marketplace covering a diverse array of end markets Origination Channels Direct Origination Financial Sponsors AINV has completed transactions with 100+ different sponsors AINV and MidCap unified calling effort into financial sponsors Ability to offer full suite of products increases relevancy Corporate Lending Niche Markets Specialized industry expertise in areas with high barriers to entry AINV and MidCap specialized teams AINV has access to all MidCap specialized teams Life Sciences, ABL, Lender Finance and Aviation Wall Street Leverage Apollo s deep relationship with Wall Street intermediaries Apollo buying power provides good access Potential source of liquidity that may be used to fund core investments Combined with the recent receipt of exemptive relief to co-invest, we believe that the Apollo platform is one that very few alternative asset managers can compete against 18

Aircraft Leasing In 2012, AINV founded a wholly owned portfolio company - Merx Aviation Finance ( Merx ) - to participate in aircraft leasing. Merx currently represents 18.2% of AINV s portfolio (1) Favorable Industry Fundamentals Healthy global passenger traffic expected to continue Since the 1970 s, air traffic has roughly doubled every 15 years (2) During the past 20 years global passenger traffic has expanded at an average annual growth rate of 5.1%, while global GDP grew by an average annual rate of 3.7% over the same period. (3) Global fleet growth Strong demand for leased aircraft driven by movement of aircraft off of airlines balance sheets to lessor balance sheets Rational OEM supply Long technology cycles Investment Thesis / Strategy Focus on the most liquid and in-demand aircraft Generally targeting used current generation Boeing and Airbus commercial aircraft Older aircraft transactions expected to be protected by the underlying metal value of the aircraft Deploying an opportunistic, transaction driven strategy while leveraging strong relationships and specialized knowledge creates attractive investment opportunities Continually optimize portfolio through aircraft acquisitions and dispositions Maintain a highly diversified portfolio in terms of aircraft type, lessee, geography Airlines prospering Traditional capital providers to the space (other than new deliveries) have been pulling back Lack of central clearinghouse for aircraft trading causes market to be inefficient High barriers to entry (1) As of September 30, 2017.
