The strategic program is designed to significantly enhance
access for corporate and sponsor clients to the private lending
capital pool, at a scale and size which can provide funding
certainty in strategic transactions. The program will join Citi’s
expansive banking client reach, origination and capital markets
expertise with Apollo’s scaled, extensive capital base. The firms
anticipate the program will finance approximately $25 billion of
debt opportunities over the next several years, encompassing both
corporate and financial sponsor transactions. Citi and Apollo
expect strong client demand and maintain the flexibility to
significantly expand the size of the program beyond the initial $25
billion.
“This exciting project brings Citi together with Apollo and
other best-in-class partners to offer a full suite of innovative,
private financing solutions to our clients,” said Viswas Raghavan,
Head of Banking and Executive Vice Chair at Citi. “Combining the
strength of Citi’s Banking and Capital Markets franchise with
Apollo’s deep capital resources will provide clients with a range
of options to meet their evolving financing needs and achieve their
strategic goals.”
Apollo Co-President Jim Zelter said, “We are pleased to form a
first-of-its-kind, scaled direct lending program with Citi, a
preeminent banking partner and leader in capital markets and
advisory. Our collaboration will allow Citi to enhance its client
offerings and bring more private solutions to bear, while enabling
Apollo to increase origination flow and tap into Citi’s extensive
client relationships. As financial markets continue to evolve,
together we believe this is a win-win arrangement that uses our
respective strengths and assets to better serve our clients and
other stakeholders in a reliable, scalable and capital efficient
manner.”
