Explanatory Note.

On June 8, 2023, Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Original Form 8-K”) related to, among other things, the results of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) held on June 6, 2023. This Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to supplement the disclosures made under Item 5.07 of the Original Form 8-K to disclose the decision of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board of Directors”) with respect to the frequency of future stockholder advisory votes on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

 

Item 5.07

Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, the fourth proposal on which the Company’s stockholders voted at the Annual Meeting was whether a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers should be held every one, two or three years. The results of the voting are as shown below:

In light of the stockholders’ recommendation that the advisory vote be held every year, which was consistent with the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the Board of Directors has decided that the Company’s stockholders shall vote annually on a resolution to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.
