Considerations The U.S. private sector education market should see growth accelerate. This $122 billion industry— serving the childcare, K-12, postsecondary, and corporate training segments—is a small component (roughly 8.1%) of the estimated $1.5 trillion to be spent on education in the U.S. in 2018. However, we believe private sector education has had a major impact on how traditional providers operate (e.g., greater acceptance of online education). Although annual growth slowed earlier this decade—owing to economic and regulatory issues, among others—we believe growth rates are starting to recover, though not to mid- to high-single-digit rates seen in the sector’s heyday last decade. We project U.S. private sector education revenues will increase at a 2.7% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the next five years, reaching roughly $139 billion in 2023, and generating about 8.4% market share. We believe the industry has many underlying growth drivers. We are still bullish on the long-term prospects for all the subsectors within the education industry. We believe private sector education could gain positive momentum from factors such as increased recognition of the benefits of early childhood education, the growing importance of accountability and education reform, rising awareness of the advantage of more education for one’s lifetime earnings potential, and the expansion of addressable markets through technology (i.e., online learning). However, we caution investors that the sector does have some regulatory and related pressures even for those not directly serving government clients. Contrary to prior popular belief, the economy does matter. In our view, the past two downturns have shown us that the acyclical theory of education may have been incorrect. Anecdotal evidence shows some companies cut back somewhat on expanding their worksite childcare offerings, as recruiting and retention perks became less of a priority in a downturn. State and local budget pressures forced severe education funding cuts, limiting what had been growth for those serving K-12 public schools. Conversely, these same limitations halted some advances by not-for-profit postsecondary institutions (e.g., online expansion) and made them weaker competitors just when demand for programs—which tend to be countercyclical—increased. We note, however, the not-for-profit sector has regained much of the “share” lost in the Great Recession. Revenue for corporate training providers declined because, in many cases, this training was considered a discretionary expense. As the economic expansion

    ANNUAL REPORT 2012 Contents | Letter to Shareholders page 1 | Form 10-K page 5 | To Our Fellow Shareholders Fiscal year 2012 marks the beginning of a period of strategic expansion for Apollo Investment Corporation (the “Company”). As a result of the global financial crisis and increased regulation of banks and other capital providers, we believe there are sizable voids in today’s lending landscape. By increasing our focus on areas where others are not, we believe that we will be able to play a crucial role of “solution provider” for businesses in need of capital. While our core strategy remains focused on providing financing solutions to middle Issuance of Asset Backed Securities* $1,400 market companies, we intend to broaden our $1,233 investment footprint to offer a more diverse array of $1,200 $1,000 -87% private market debt solutions.

To that end, in April 2012, we made an equity investment in a senior loan vehicle managed by an affiliate of Madison Capital Funding, a leading middle market senior lender.
