Apollo Global Management, Inc.
Securities Class Action

On February 1, 2026, the Financial Times reported that “Top Apollo Global Management executives including chief Marc Rowan held wide-ranging discussions over the firm’s tax arrangements with Jeffrey Epstein throughout the 2010s, despite the private capital firm having previously said it ‘never did any business’ with” Epstein. On this news, Apollo’s stock price fell $7.69 per share, or 5.72%, to close at $126.85 per share on February 3, 2026. Then, on February 17, 2026, the Financial Times published an article entitled “SEC urged to investigate Apollo over Epstein ties”, reporting, in relevant part, that the American Federation of Teachers and the American Association of University Professors “told the SEC’s enforcement director Margaret Ryan . . . that they believed Apollo’s communications to investors ‘give an inaccurate and incomplete picture of the firm and its partners’ connection to Epstein’.” Then, on February 21, 2026, CNN published an article entitled “How Wall Street’s Apollo got tangled up in the Epstein files”. The article quoted Eleanor Bloxham, founder and CEO of The Value Alliance Company, which advises boards and executives, as stating that the unions have a “strong case” for pushing for an SEC investigation, describing Apollo’s response as “very weak”, and questioning why Apollo CEO Marc Rowan’s meetings and correspondence with Jeffrey Epstein were not previously disclosed. On this news, Apollo’s stock price fell $5.99 per share, or 5%, to close at $113.73 per share on February 23, 2026.
