Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers, Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On March 12, 2015, Marc E. Becker, a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Apollo Residential Mortgage, Inc. (the “Company”), informed the Board that he will not be standing for re-election to the Board at the Company’s 2015 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2015 Annual Meeting”). The decision of Mr. Becker to not stand for re-election to the Board was not the result of any dispute or disagreements with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

Mr. Becker will continue to serve the remainder of his term as a director of the Board until the 2015 Annual Meeting, which is scheduled to be held on June 18, 2015. He shall also continue as a partner within the private equity business of Apollo Global Management, LLC (together with its subsidiaries, “Apollo”) and shall continue to serve in his various roles with Apollo and its affiliates.

Upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board, James Galowski has been nominated by the Board to stand for election as a director by the stockholders at the 2015 Annual Meeting to replace Mr. Becker. Mr. Galowski joined Apollo in 2012 and is currently a partner and serves as a senior portfolio manager within Apollo’s credit business.
