Faruqi & Faruqi Urges Apollo Global Management Investors to Act Before May 2026 Deadline

Notice for Apollo Global Management Investors

Faruqi & Faruqi, LLP, a prominent national securities law firm, has recently issued a crucial reminder to investors regarding their potential claims against Apollo Global Management, Inc. (often referred to as 'Apollo' or 'the Company') as part of an ongoing federal securities class action. With the deadline for seeking lead plaintiff status set for May 1, 2026, the firm is actively reaching out to investors who may have suffered losses due to potentially misleading information provided by Apollo.

Background on Allegations

The firm has been probing various allegations aimed at Apollo Global Management, which has been embroiled in a series of controversies surrounding its executive dealings and disclosures. The allegations state that certain executives, including leaders such as Marc Rowan and Black, maintained communication with Jeffrey Epstein during the 2010s about Apollo's business matters, contradicting the Company’s prior assertion that they had never engaged in business transactions with Epstein.

This revelation raises significant concerns regarding the accuracy of Apollo’s public statements and poses questions about the integrity of its leadership. According to the claims, these executives’ failure to disclose their connections to Epstein not only impacts Apollo’s reputation but also misrepresents the Company's business operations and future prospects.

Recent Developments

The scrutiny intensified following a detailed Financial Times article published on February 1, 2026. This piece unveiled substantial discussions held by Apollo's top management with Epstein concerning the firm’s tax arrangements. Despite Apollo's earlier assertions to the contrary, the firm's stock experienced a notable decline—dropping approximately 5.7% over two trading days following the revelations.

In further developments, a CNN article dated February 21, 2026, reiterated the claims presented in the Financial Times while introducing additional insights concerning Apollo's inadequate responses to inquiries from a teachers' union. Notably, Eleanor Bloxham, founder of The Value Alliance Company, indicated that the unions possess a strong argument for advocating an SEC investigation into the works of Apollo Global, following their weak reply to these serious concerns.

In the wake of these reports, Apollo’s shares fell by approximately 5%, closing at $113.73 on February 23, 2026. This decline reflects investor reactions to the escalating controversy surrounding Apollo’s governance and transparency.

Importance of the Lead Plaintiff Role

Faruqi & Faruqi emphasizes that the lead plaintiff's role in a class action is pivotal, as it involves managing the litigation process while representing the interests of fellow class members. The firm encourages any affected investors who have either purchased or acquired Apollo securities during the specified timeframe of May 10, 2021, to February 21, 2026, to reach out directly to discuss their legal options.

Any member of the affected class can advocate in court for the lead plaintiff role through their chosen counsel, while remaining uninvolved is also an option. Importantly, participating in the lead plaintiff process does not alter an investor's potential to gain from any recovery that may be secured.

Faruqi & Faruqi also extends a call to anyone who may have additional insights into Apollo's conduct to connect with them. This includes, but is not limited to, whistleblowers, former employees, and shareholders affected by the Company’s actions.
