The $350.2 million decrease in ENI after taxes was driven by lower Incentive Business ENI, partially offset by an increase in Management Business ENI.

Apollo reported ENI after taxes of $567.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to ENI after taxes of $2.0 billion in 2013. The $1.4 billion decrease in ENI after taxes was driven by Apollo's Incentive Business, which reported ENI of $177.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to $1.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Apollo reported DE after taxes and related payables of $374.4 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $508.2 million for the same period in 2013.

Apollo’s total AUM was $159.8 billion as of December 31, 2014, a decrease of $1.4 billion, or 1%, compared to $161.2 billion as of December 31, 2013. Fee-generating AUM was $128.7 billion as of December 31, 2014, an increase of $0.3 billion, compared to $128.4 billion as of December 31, 2013.

"In 2014 Apollo continued to position itself for consistent long term growth, investment excellence and diversification,” said Leon Black, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We maintained our strong pace of realization activity, which resulted in total distributions for 2014 of more than $16 billion for our fund investors and $2.89 in cash distributions for our shareholders. In addition, the funds we manage deployed approximately $10 billion during the year across Apollo’s integrated investment platform, which we believe can generate meaningful future returns for our investors and shareholders."

Combined Segments

Total revenue for Apollo’s combined segments was $294.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $528.4 million, or 64%, compared to the same period in 2013, due to a decrease in Incentive Business revenues of $531.8 million primarily due to a $418.4 million decrease in unrealized carried interest. Total expenses for Apollo’s combined segments were $183.7 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $201.2 million, or 52%, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily driven by a decrease in profit sharing expense resulting from the decline in carried interest income.

Total revenue for Apollo’s combined segments was $1.6 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.2 billion, or 58%, from 2013, driven primarily by a $2.5 billion decrease in total carried interest income. Total expenses for Apollo's combined segments were $988.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $847.8 million, or 46%, from 2013, driven primarily by a decrease in profit sharing expense.

Total revenue for Apollo's Management Business was $299.1 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $3.4 million, or 1%, from the same period in 2013. This includes management fee revenues of $220.6 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $11.2 million, or 5%, from the same period in 2013, primarily due to the absence of one time management fees. In addition, there was $67.9 million of advisory and transaction fees for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $12.7 million, or 23%, compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to higher monitoring fees earned from Athene Holding Ltd. and its subsidiaries ("Athene").

Total revenue for Apollo's Management Business was $1.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $294.2 million, or 31%, from 2013 driven by higher monitoring fees earned from Athene. This includes management fee revenues of $901.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $170.4 million, or 23%, from 2013. In addition, there was $316.1 million of advisory and transaction fees for the full year 2014, an increase of $119.5 million from 2013, primarily due to the higher monitoring fees earned from Athene.

Total compensation expenses, including salary and benefits and equity-based compensation, were $97.5 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $11.1 million, or 13%, compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was principally driven by increased headcount to support future growth in fee-

generating AUM. Non-compensation expenses for Apollo's Management Business were $68.9 million during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $31.8 million compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to the absence of placement fee expenses incurred in 2013 related to the closing of Apollo Investment Fund VIII, L.P. ("Fund VIII").

Total expenses for Apollo's Management Business were $712.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $49.2 million, or 7%, from 2013. Total compensation expenses, including salary and benefits and equity-based compensation, were $446.8 million for the full year 2014, an increase of $85.7 million, or 24%, from 2013. Non-compensation expenses for Apollo's Management Business were $265.6 million during the full year 2014, a decrease of $36.5 million from 2013 primarily due to the absence of placement fee expenses incurred in 2013 related to the closing of Fund VIII.

Other income for Apollo's Management Business was $34.5 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, an increase of $25.8 million compared to the same period in 2013. This increase was primarily attributable to a gain resulting from a reduction of the tax receivable agreement liability due to changes in projected income estimates and in estimated tax rates.

Apollo's Incentive Business reported total carried interest loss of $5.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $531.8 million compared to the same period in 2013. Apollo reported net total profit sharing expense of $17.3 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, resulting in a decrease in total profit sharing expense of $180.5 million compared to the same period in 2013. The decrease in total profit sharing expense was driven by the corresponding decrease in carried interest income from the same period in 2013, partially offset by a higher incentive pool allocation. During the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, the Incentive Business generated $518.4 million of realized gains, which were largely attributable to the sales of a number of investments held by funds managed by Apollo, including Athlon Energy, Inc., Taminco Corporation, and Prestige Cruise Holdings, Inc.

Apollo's Incentive Business reported total carried interest income of $365.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $2.5 billion from 2013. As a result of the decrease in carried interest income, Apollo reported total profit sharing expense of $276.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2014, a decrease of $897.0 million from 2013. During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Incentive Business generated $1.7 billion of realized gains, which was attributable to dispositions relating to numerous investments held by funds managed by Apollo.

Private Equity Segment

Apollo's private equity segment reported ENI of $40.0 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to ENI of $314.8 million for the same period in 2013. The year-over-year decrease in ENI of $274.8 million was primarily driven by lower carried interest income of $20.6 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to $445.4 million for the same period in 2013.

Apollo's traditional private equity funds appreciated by less than 1% during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014. From its inception in 2008 through December 31, 2014, Apollo Investment Fund VII, L.P. ("Fund VII") generated an annual gross and net IRR of 37% and 28%, respectively. Apollo Investment Fund VI, L.P. ("Fund VI"), which began investing in 2006, generated an annual gross and net IRR of 13% and 11%, respectively, since its inception through December 31, 2014. As of December 31, 2014, Fund VI's remaining investments were valued at 104% of their remaining cost, which was below a specified return ratio of 115%. As a result, Fund VI is required to place in escrow current and future carried interest income distributions to the general partner until the specified return ratio of 115% is met (at the time of a future distribution) or upon liquidation of Fund VI.

Management fees from Apollo's private equity segment were $76.8 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, which decreased by $11.2 million compared to the same period in 2013 due to the commencement of Fund VIII's investment period, partially offset by significant realizations in Fund VI and Fund VII as well as a change in the fee basis with respect to Fund VII. Total Management Business expenses

within the private equity segment were $54.1 million for the fourth quarter of 2014, which decreased by $26.0 million compared to the same period in 2013 primarily due to the absence of placement fee expenses related to the closing of Fund VIII in 2013.

Uncalled commitments within Apollo's private equity segment were $22.4 billion as of December 31, 2014.

The year-over-year decrease in ENI of $66.8 million was primarily driven by a net reversal of carried interest income of $33.5 million during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, compared to carried interest income of $74.2 million for the same period in 2013, offset by higher Management Business ENI.

Management fees from Apollo's credit segment were $132.8 million for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2014, which increased by $2.2 million, or 2%, compared to the same period in 2013.

Total revenues for the real estate segment during the fourth quarter of 2014 were $19.9 million, a decrease of $1.6 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to lower management fees compared to the same period in 2013. Total expenses for the real estate segment during the fourth quarter of 2014 were $21.4 million, an increase of $1.4 million, or 7%, compared to the same period in 2013 due to higher profit sharing expense.

Uncalled commitments within Apollo's real estate segment were $997.0 million as of December 31, 2014. During the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2014, Apollo's real estate funds and SIAs with a defined maturity date, and funds and SIAs in Apollo's real estate debt strategy, deployed $941.0 million and $2.7 billion of capital, respectively.

During the first quarter of 2014, the calculation of the income tax provision on economic net income was revised to include the benefit of tax deductions in excess of GAAP deductions from share-based arrangements, as further discussed in the definition of ENI After Taxes in the non-GAAP financial information and definitions section of this press release. The prior period financial data was recast to conform to the revised definition of income tax provision on economic net income. The difference in the ENI tax provision under the revised definition as compared to the previous methodology is $22.3 million or $0.06 per Class A share for each quarter presented in 2013.

During the fourth quarter of 2014, the calculation of Distributable Earnings was revised to exclude the gains (losses) arising from the reversal of a portion of the tax receivable agreement liability. The prior period financial data was recast to conform to the revised definition of Distributable Earnings included in the non-GAAP financial information and definitions section of this press release. The difference in Distributable Earnings After Taxes and Related Payables under the revised definition as compared to the previous methodology is $13.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 and year ended December 31, 2013.

As of December 31, 2014, approximately 66% of the value of our funds’ investments on a gross basis were determined using market-based valuation methods (i.e., reliance on broker or listed exchange quotes) and the remaining 34% were determined primarily by comparable company and industry multiples or discounted cash flow models. For our private equity, credit and real estate segments, the percentages determined using market-based valuation methods as of December 31, 2014 were 45%, 78% and 48%, respectively.

FUND PERFORMANCE (UNAUDITED)


(1)	Figures include the market values, estimated fair value of certain unrealized investments and capital committed to investments.


(2)	Amounts presented are computed based on actual timing of the funds' cash inflows and outflows.


(3)	Returns have not been presented as the fund commenced investing capital less than 24 months prior to the period indicated and therefore such return information was deemed not meaningful.

(4)

Fund I and Fund II were structured such that investments were made from either fund depending on which fund had available capital. Apollo does not differentiate between Fund I and Fund II investments for purposes of performance figures because they are not meaningful on a separate basis and do not demonstrate the progression of returns over time. The general partners and managers of Funds I, II and MIA, as well as the general partner of Fund III were excluded assets in connection with the 2007 reorganization. As a result, Apollo Global Management, LLC did not receive the economics associated with these entities. The investment performance of these funds is presented to illustrate fund performance associated with Apollo's managing partners and other investment professionals.


(5)	Total IRR is calculated based on total cash flows for all funds presented.


(6)	The investment record table for the credit and real estate funds and SIAs presented is computed based on the actual dates of capital contributions, distributions and ending limited partners’ capital as of the specified dates.


(7)	Apollo Credit Opportunity Fund III, L.P. ("COF III"), Apollo Structured Recovery Fund III, L.P. ("ACRF III") and Apollo U.S. Real Estate Fund II were launched prior to December 31, 2014 and have not established their vintage year.


(8)	Funds are denominated in Euros and historical figures are translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of €1.00 to $1.21 as of December 31, 2014.


(9)	AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund, L.P., a closed-end private investment fund has $149 million of co-invest commitments raised, which are included in the figures in the table above. A co-invest entity within AGRE U.S. Real Estate Fund is denominated in GBP and translated into U.S. dollars at an exchange rate of £1.00 to $1.56 as of December 31, 2014.

(10)

As part of the CPI acquisition, Apollo acquired general partner interests in fully invested funds. The gross and net IRRs are presented in the investment record table above since acquisition on November 12, 2010. The net IRRs from the inception of the respective fund to December 31, 2014 were (7)%, 7% and (7)% for the CPI Capital Partners North America, Asia Pacific and Europe funds, respectively. These net IRRs were primarily achieved during a period in which Apollo did not make the initial investment decisions and Apollo only became the general partner or manager of these funds upon completing the acquisition on November 12, 2010.

(11)

CPI Other consists of funds or individual investments of which Apollo is not the general partner or manager and only receives fees pursuant to either a sub-advisory agreement or an investment management and administrative agreement. CPI Other fund performance is a result of invested capital prior to Apollo’s management of these funds. Return and certain other performance data are therefore not considered meaningful as Apollo performs primarily an administrative role.

AAA is the sole limited partner in AAA Investments, L.P. (“AAA Investments”). Athene was AAA Investments’ only investment as of December 31, 2014. During the second quarter of 2014, Athene Holding Ltd. raised $1.2 billion of net equity commitments primarily from third-party institutional investors, certain existing investors in Athene, and employees of Athene and its affiliates (the “Athene Private Placement”). For the period December 31, 2013 through December 31, 2014, AAA Investments' ownership stake in Athene was reduced as a result of the Athene Private Placement, the issuance of shares under the amended AAA services agreement and the issuance of 3.7 million unrestricted common shares of Athene Holding Ltd. under Athene’s management equity plan and was increased by the conversion to common shares of AAA Investments' note receivable from Athene, resulting in an approximate 47.7% economic ownership stake (calculated as if the commitments in the Athene Private Placement closed through December 31, 2014 were fully drawn down but without giving effect to (i) restricted common shares issued under Athene’s management equity plan or (ii) common shares to be issued after December 31, 2014 under the amended AAA services agreement or the amended Athene services agreement) and effectively 45% of the voting power of Athene.

The investment record tables exclude certain funds with an aggregate AUM of approximately $5.1 billion as of December 31, 2014 because management deemed them to be immaterial.

(1)

Fund VI's remaining investments were valued at 104% of their remaining cost, which was below a specified return ratio of 115%. As a result, Fund VI is required to place in escrow current and future carried interest income distributions to the general partner until the specified return ratio of 115% is met (at the time of a future distribution) or upon liquidation of Fund VI. As of December 31, 2014, Fund VI carried interest receivable includes $165.6 million of carried interest income in escrow.


(2)	Includes certain strategic investment accounts.

(3)

Includes $121.5 million of carried interest receivable from AAA Investments which will be paid in common shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (valued at the then fair market value) if there is a distribution in kind of shares of Athene Holding Ltd. (unless such payment in shares would violate Section 16(b) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), or paid in cash if AAA sells the shares of Athene Holding Ltd.


(4)	As of December 31, 2014, two of our credit funds had an aggregate $3.4 million general partner obligation to return carried interest income that was previously distributed. The fair value gain on investments and income at the fund level needed to reverse the general partner obligations for these two credit funds was $7.0 million and $2.2 million, respectively as of December 31, 2014.


(5)	There was a corresponding profit sharing payable of $434.9 million as of December 31, 2014, including profit share payable related to amounts in escrow, that resulted in a net carried interest receivable on an unconsolidated basis of $523.9 million as of December 31, 2014. Included within profit sharing payable are contingent consideration obligations of $96.1 million.

APOLLO GLOBAL MANAGEMENT, LLC

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND DEFINITIONS (UNAUDITED)

Non-GAAP Financial Information

Apollo discloses the following financial measures that are calculated and presented on the basis of methodologies other than in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“Non-GAAP”):

•

Economic Net Income, or ENI, as well as ENI After Taxes are key performance measures used by management in evaluating the performance of Apollo’s private equity, credit and real estate segments. Management also believes the components of ENI such as the amount of management fees, advisory and transaction fees and carried interest income are indicative of Apollo’s performance. Management uses these performance measures in making key operating decisions such as the following:



	—		Decisions related to the allocation of resources such as staffing decisions including hiring and locations for deployment of the new hires;



	—		Decisions related to capital deployment such as providing capital to facilitate growth for the business and/or to facilitate expansion into new businesses; and



	—		Decisions related to expenses, such as determining annual discretionary bonuses and equity-based compensation awards to its employees. With respect to compensation, management seeks to align the interests of certain professionals and selected other individuals with those of the investors in the funds and those of Apollo's shareholders by providing such individuals a profit sharing interest in the carried interest income earned in relation to the funds. To achieve that objective, a certain amount of compensation is based on Apollo's performance and growth for the year.

These measures of profitability have certain limitations in that they do not take into account certain items included under U.S. GAAP. ENI represents segment income (loss) attributable to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which excludes the impact of (i) non-cash charges related to RSUs granted in connection with the 2007 private placement and amortization of AOG units, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) amortization of intangibles associated with the 2007 reorganization as well as acquisitions, (iv) Non-Controlling Interests excluding the remaining interest held by certain individuals who receive an allocation of income from certain of our credit management companies and (v) non-cash revenue and expense related to equity awards granted by unconsolidated affiliates to employees of the Company. In addition, segment data excludes the assets, liabilities and operating results of the funds and VIEs that are included in the consolidated financial statements.

•

ENI After Taxes represents ENI adjusted to reflect income tax provision on ENI that has been calculated assuming that all income is allocated to Apollo Global Management, LLC, which would occur following an exchange of all AOG units for Class A shares of Apollo Global Management, LLC. Economic assumptions and methodology that impact the implied income tax provision are made and is similar to those methodologies and certain assumptions used in calculating the income tax provision for Apollo’s consolidated statements of operations under U.S. GAAP. We believe this measure is more consistent with how we assess the performance of our segments which is described above in our definition of ENI.

•

Non-GAAP Weighted Average Diluted Shares Outstanding is calculated using the GAAP Weighted Average Outstanding Class A Shares plus Non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG units for Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the weighted average vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure in determining ENI After Taxes per share.

•

Non-GAAP Diluted Shares Outstanding is calculated using the GAAP Outstanding Class A Shares plus Non-GAAP adjustments assuming (i) the exchange of all of the AOG units for Class A shares and (ii) the settlement of the vested RSUs in the form of Class A shares during the period. Management uses this measure, taking into account the unvested RSUs that participate in distributions, in determining our Class A shares eligible for cash distributions.

•

Distributable Earnings, or DE, as well as DE After Taxes and Related Payables are derived from our segment reported results, and are supplemental measures to assess performance and amounts available for distribution to Class A shareholders, holders of RSUs that participate in distributions and holders of AOG units. DE represents the amount of net realized earnings without the effects of the consolidation of any of the affiliated funds. DE, which is a component of ENI, is the sum across all segments of (i) total management fees and advisory and transaction fees, excluding monitoring fees received from Athene based on its capital and surplus (as defined in Apollo's transaction advisory services agreement with Athene), (ii) other income (loss), excluding the gains (losses) arising from the reversal of a portion of the tax receivable agreement liability, (iii) realized carried interest income, and (iv) realized investment income, less (i) compensation expense, excluding the expense related to equity-based awards, (ii) realized

profit sharing expense, and (iii) non-compensation expenses, excluding depreciation and amortization expense. DE after taxes and related payables represents DE less estimated current corporate, local and non-U.S. taxes as well as the payable under Apollo's tax receivable agreement.


•	Assets Under Management, or AUM, refers to the assets we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services, including, without limitation, capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts have the right to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments. Our AUM equals the sum of:


(i)	the fair value of the investments of the private equity funds, partnerships and accounts we manage plus the capital that such funds, partnerships and accounts are entitled to call from investors pursuant to capital commitments;

(ii)

the net asset value, or “NAV,” of the credit funds, partnerships and accounts for which we provide investment management services, other than certain collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”) and collateralized debt obligations (“CDOs”), which have a fee generating basis other than the mark-to-market value of the underlying assets, plus used or available leverage and/or capital commitments;


(iii)	the gross asset value or net asset value of the real estate funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, and the structured portfolio company investments of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, which includes the leverage used by such structured portfolio company investments;


(iv)	the incremental value associated with the reinsurance investments of the portfolio company assets we manage; and

(v)

the fair value of any other assets that we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services, plus unused credit facilities, including capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts for investments that may require pre-qualification before investment plus any other capital commitments to such funds, partnerships and accounts available for investment that are not otherwise included in the clauses above.

Our AUM measure includes Assets Under Management for which we charge either no or nominal fees. Our definition of AUM is not based on any definition of Assets Under Management contained in our operating agreement or in any of our Apollo fund management agreements. We consider multiple factors for determining what should be included in our definition of AUM. Such factors include but are not limited to (1) our ability to influence the investment decisions for existing and available assets; (2) our ability to generate income from the underlying assets in our funds; and (3) the AUM measures that we use internally or believe are used by other investment managers. Given the differences in the investment strategies and structures among other alternative investment managers, our calculation of AUM may differ from the calculations employed by other investment managers and, as a result, this measure may not be directly comparable to similar measures presented by other investment managers.

We use AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs.

•

Fee-generating AUM consists of assets we manage for the funds, partnerships and accounts to which we provide investment management services and on which we earn management fees, monitoring fees pursuant to management or other fee agreements on a basis that varies among the Apollo funds, partnerships and accounts we manage. Management fees are normally based on “net asset value,” “gross assets,” “adjusted par asset value,” “adjusted cost of all unrealized portfolio investments,” “capital commitments,” “adjusted assets,” “stockholders’ equity,” “invested capital” or “capital contributions,” each as defined in the applicable management agreement. Monitoring fees, also referred to as advisory fees, with respect to the structured portfolio company investments of the funds, partnerships and accounts we manage, are generally based on the total value of such structured portfolio company investments, which normally includes leverage, less any portion of such total value that is already considered in fee-generating AUM.

•	Non-fee generating AUM consists of assets that do not produce management fees or monitoring fees. These assets generally consist of the following:


(i)	fair value above invested capital for those funds that earn management fees based on invested capital;


(ii)	net asset values related to general partner and co-investment ownership;


(iii)	unused credit facilities;


(iv)	available commitments on those funds that generate management fees on invested capital;


(v)	structured portfolio company investments that do not generate monitoring fees; and


(vi)	the difference between gross asset and net asset value for those funds that earn management fees based on net asset value.


•	Carry Eligible AUM refers to the AUM that may eventually produce carried interest income. All funds for which we are entitled to receive a carried interest income allocation are included in Carry Eligible AUM, which consists of the following:


◦	Carry Generating AUM refers to funds' invested capital that is currently above its hurdle rate or preferred return, and the funds' profit is allocated to the general partner in accordance with the applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements.


◦	AUM Not Currently Generating Carry refers to funds' invested capital that is currently below its hurdle rate or preferred return.


◦	Uninvested Carry Eligible AUM refers to available capital for investment or reinvestment subject to the provisions of applicable limited partnership agreements or other governing agreements that are not currently part of the NAV or fair value of investments that may eventually produce carried interest income, which would be allocated to the general partner.

We use non-fee generating AUM combined with fee-generating AUM as a performance measurement of our investment activities, as well as to monitor fund size in relation to professional resource and infrastructure needs. Non-fee generating AUM includes assets on which we could earn carried interest income.

•

Dollars invested is the aggregate amount of capital, including capital commitments from the limited partner investors in our funds, that have been invested by our multi-year drawdown, commitment-based funds and SIAs that have a defined maturity date and for funds and SIAs in our real estate debt strategy during a given period, which we believe is a useful supplemental measure because it provides shareholders with information about the capital deployed for investment opportunities in a given period.

•

Uncalled commitments represents unfunded capital commitments that certain of Apollo’s funds and SIAs have received from limited partners to fund future or current investments and expenses, which we believe is a useful supplemental measure because it provides shareholders with information about the unfunded capital commitments available to be deployed for future or current investments and expenses for our private equity funds.

•

Gross IRR of a private equity fund represents the cumulative investment-related cash flows in the fund itself (and not the investors in the fund) on the basis of the actual timing of investment inflows and outflows (for unrealized investments assuming disposition on December 31, 2014 or other date specified) aggregated on a gross basis quarterly, and the return is annualized and compounded before management fees, carried interest and certain other fund expenses (including interest incurred by the fund itself) and measures the returns on the fund’s investments as a whole without regard to whether all of the returns would, if distributed, be payable to the fund’s investors.

•

Net IRR of a private equity fund means the cumulative investment-related cash flows in the fund itself (and not the investors in the fund) on the basis of the actual timing of cash inflows and outflows aggregated on a quarterly basis, less expenses. For the calculation of Net IRR the realized and estimated unrealized value is adjusted such that a percentage of up to 20.0% of the unrealized gain is allocated to the general partner, thereby reducing the balance attributable to fund investors' carried interest all offset to the extent of interest income, and measures returns based on amounts that, if distributed, would be paid to investors of the fund, to the extent that a private equity fund exceeds all requirements detailed within the applicable fund agreement.
