Manager Commentary (unaudited)

As of June 30, 2016

Dear Shareholders,

We would like to start by saying thank you for your interest in the Apollo Senior Floating Rate Fund Inc. and the Apollo Tactical Income Fund Inc. (the “Funds”). We appreciate the trust and confidence you have placed with us through your investment in the Funds.

The beginning of 2016 started off much like 2015 had ended for the corporate credit markets, with both leveraged loans and high yield bonds continuing to move lower. This same move lower marked the end of the year prior for very similar reasons, primarily continued weakness in commodity prices and the negative impact this was having on retail demand for loans and bonds. Most of January and the first half of February looked very much like the months that had preceded them with regular selling by credit managers in the secondary market and a frozen primary market marked by equity and commodity price volatility. In mid-February, this dynamic reversed as commodity prices stabilized, equities began to move higher and managers of loan and high yield funds in particular saw inflows to mutual funds. After steadily climbing over the back half of 2015 and into 2016, average yields in the high yield market hit a high of 10.5% in mid-February. This peak, combined with the previously mentioned coinciding factors in equities and commodities, ended up being the point at which capital was committed to the loan and bond markets in enough size to eventually reverse nearly all of the move lower that began in early June 2015. The market movements subsequent to this have been substantial. Since the 2016 lows for high yield, on February 11, and for the loan market, on February 17, these markets are up +15.8%1 and +6.1%2 through June 30, respectively.

While this steady improvement has been almost entirely one-directional and lacking in any real volatility, aside from the short-lived period of volatility created by the United Kingdom’s referendum to exit European Union membership (“Brexit”) in late June, it was not without opportunity as it relates to investing on behalf of the Funds. There was a backup in the capital markets early this year created by market volatility that caused the forward calendar of deals scheduled to be syndicated to balloon. As conditions eased, dealers competed to bring substantial financings of many kinds to market, and the pricing and structure for most of these deals represented attractive investment opportunities relative to almost any period in the year preceding. Pricing for loans across the ratings spectrum widened compared to similar credits priced over most of 2015, with generally better terms and call protection as well. These represented opportunities for the Funds to refinance into what we believe are better credit profiles for businesses at greater rates of return, with enhanced lender protection. After the anemic totals of loan issuance in January and February, issuance increased fairly steadily into the summer with June’s institutional loan new-issuance volume of $73.0 billion the third highest on record, and sixth consecutive monthly increase in a row. While the most attractive pricing and terms of the early part of the rally have diminished, this kind of supply is important for the Fund’s ability to optimize their positionings and investments and has been healthy in the process of portfolio management.

As it relates to aforementioned Brexit, both the volatility and opportunity this created for the Funds was short-lived. Though we were able to add at the margin to existing positions that we liked at lower levels given initial selling on the event, this selling occurred over only a brief period of time and there was a substantial amount of demand waiting for it which limited the move lower in prices. Over the two weeks that followed, inflows into high yield funds in particular were historically high, and the reversal in any move lower in prices did not take long to play out. If anything, the broader reaction to the event as an immediate buying opportunity suggests a broader theme that we see as only beginning, which is that of a global search for yield in an environment of declining returns increasingly focused on the United States. While we feel the Funds are set up quite well to take advantage of increased demand, we are cognizant that it may create certain distortions in the capital markets and will remain focused on what this may bring.

We appreciate your interest and support in the Funds. If you have any questions about the Funds, please call 1-888-301-3838, or visit our website at www.agmfunds.com.

Sincerely,

Apollo Credit Management, LLC

(a) “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is rated below investment grade and investments with similar characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and pay interest at rates that are determined periodically on the basis of a floating base lending rate plus a spread. Unless otherwise identified, all Senior Loans carry a variable rate of interest. These base lending rates are primarily the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and secondarily the prime rate offered by one or more major U.S. banks and the certificate of deposit rate used by commercial lenders. The rates shown represent the weighted average rate at June 30, 2016. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often contain certain restrictions on resale and cannot be sold publicly. Senior Loans often require prepayments from excess cash flow or permit the borrower to repay at its election. The degree to which borrowers repay, whether as a contractual requirement or at their election, cannot be predicted with accuracy. As a result, the actual maturity may be substantially less than the stated maturity shown.

 

     Senior Loan assets may have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of June 30, 2016, the Fund had unfunded loan commitments, which could be extended at the option of the borrower, pursuant to the following loan agreements:

 

Borrower    Unfunded Loan
Commitments
      

The Chef’s Warehouse, Inc.

   $ 135,532      

Mitel Networks Corp.

     5,700,000      
  

 

 

    

Total unfunded loan commitments

   $         5,835,532      
  

 

 

    

 

(b)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base rate plus 1 month or 3 month LIBOR, which at June 30, 2016, was 0.47% and 0.65%, respectively. As the interest rate is subject to a minimum LIBOR floor which was greater than the 1 month or 3 month LIBOR rate at June 30, 2016, the prevailing rate in effect at June 30, 2016, was the base rate plus the LIBOR floor, except as otherwise indicated.
(c) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(d) Fixed rate asset.
(e) Fair Value Level 3 security. All remaining securities are categorized as Level 2.
(f)  All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date, therefore, are subject to change.
(g)  Represents a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) security, which may pay interest in additional principal amount.
(h)  Non-income producing asset.
(i) Securities exempt from registration pursuant to Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. These securities may only be resold in transactions exempt from registration to qualified institutional buyers. At June 30, 2016, these securities amounted to $24,228,978, or 8.9% of net assets.
(j) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued. The issuer paid a cash dividend to all shareholders on record as of January 6, 2016, which was recorded as a cost basis adjustment.
(k) The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $405,954,907. Cost for U.S. federal income tax purposes differs from book basis primarily due to the deferral of losses from wash sales. Unrealized appreciation and depreciation on investments were as follows:

 

Gross unrealized appreciation

    $     2,607,720        

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (15,024,052)       
  

 

 

    

Net unrealized depreciation

    $   (12,416,332)       
  

 

 

    

 

(l) The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.
(m) Principal $135,250,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $629,077.
