Manager Commentary (unaudited)

As of June 30, 2017

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. Much of this year has represented a continuation of the last as buoyant conditions for the corporate credit markets have persisted against the backdrop of benign fundamentals, and with most of this marked by a lack of volatility. There have been different versions of this largely positive market environment. Substantial demand for floating-rate credit over the first half of the year driven by expectations for higher rates flagged somewhat coming into the summer, as US Treasury yields came off their highest levels of 2017, but overall the US high-yield and leveraged loan markets have seen heavy demand over the first half of this year. The broader themes that have been most impactful on these markets not only in 2017 but over much of 2016 as well include a yield-starved investor base reaching increasingly farther afield and working a broader opportunity set to put capital to work at appropriate rates, and a supply of loans and bonds that has seen sporadic levels of more robust issuance but remains limited, relative to demand, by similarly limited corporate activity in the public markets and a difficult buyout environment for sponsors given lofty valuations for most companies, this despite historically low levels for the cost of acquisition capital. As per the broadly used BofA/Merrill Lynch US High Yield Index and the S&P/LSTA Leveraged Loan Index, the bond and loan markets returned +4.9% and +1.9%, respectively, over the first half of 2017. There have been examples of performance that have been potentially indicative of renewed periods of volatility, including a substantial rally in levels for energy-related loans and bonds in the first two months of the year that faded as commodity levels came under pressure, and a brief period in early June during which floating-rate fund flows turned slightly negative as market yields moved lower. But, for the most part, the broader loan and bond markets have experienced positive total returns in a nearly straight line over the course of the year.

The investing environment over the first half of 2017 was very different than the same period the year before. Wherein the first half of 2016 was marked by limited supply and more limited competition for paper, leading to tighter structures and generally higher pricing by rating than was experienced in the second half of the year and currently, the enormous inflows that open-ended floating-rate funds experienced beginning just after the election and into 2017 coupled with outsized CLO creation has led to a much more competitive dynamic around securing both bonds and loans at attractive rates and within attractive structures. At the same time, while the supply figures that represent market activity have been relatively high, a more nuanced view suggests the benefits of this supply to lenders have been limited and represented the taking advantage of issuer-friendly conditions by opportunistic borrowers. At the end of the second quarter of 2017 leveraged loan new-issue activity stood at $577Bn, which would be the second highest such annual total on record (behind just 2013) and compare to $161Bn in loan issuance over the same period in 2016. However, when you net that figure of repricing and refinancing activity, which in a positive market does not usually represent opportunities for investors to make new investments, that supply number stands at just $141Bn YTD, meaning nearly 76% of 2017’s new loan issuance has been for refinancing or repricing purposes. This kind of situation admittedly makes for more difficult periods for credit investors. The repricing phenomenon the leveraged loan markets have been experiencing essentially since the beginning of 2017 is a function of this heavy demand, limited supply, and a result of prevailing secondary loan prices moving through par. This phenomenon has impacted the Funds as it has impacted all corporate credit investors.

In such market conditions, when demand is overriding supply, our focus for the Funds is primarily on managing the existing portfolio, avoiding crowded situations where this demand is leading to activities on behalf of lenders being forced to put capital to work, and identifying opportunities that may be overlooked by the broader investing community or represent situations that others cannot participate in. Fundamentally, away from industries that are seeing unique competitive pressures due either to continued commodity volatility (Energy, Metals & Mining) or to changes in business models and consumer activities (Retail), we are generally seeing good fundamental performance in the corporate credit markets and in the areas where we invest. While the US leveraged loan default rate ticked up in June by 12 basis points to 1.54%, it stood much closer to the low of the last twelve months (1.41% in February) than the high of 2.17% in July 2016. That said, given where valuations have stretched on the basis of yield, spread and leverage, amongst other measures, we remain focused on positioning the portfolio defensibly where possible and on the fundamentals of the credits where we are invested. With regards to new opportunities, operating outside the consensus view is a particular focus at Apollo, and we believe active managers of funds that are closed to regular periods of inflows can operate more efficiently. As we regularly posit, we would welcome periods of volatility over the latter half of the year that would change the competitive dynamic and create the kinds of investing opportunities that have historically been most attractive to the Funds.

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

Schedule of Investments  (continued)

June 30, 2017 (unaudited)

 

 

 

(a)  “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is below investment grade as well as investments with similar economic characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and, unless otherwise indicated, are required to pay interest at floating rates that are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. In some instances, the rates shown represent the weighted average rate as of June 30, 2017. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often incorporate 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.

 

     Senior Loan assets may have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of June 30, 2017, 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
       
 

 

 
  Bass Pro Group, LLC      $3,726,495        
  Equian, LLC*      205,348        
  NVA Holdings, Inc.**      419,893        
  TCB Holdings III Corp.      116,601        
  USS Parent Holding Corp.      142,893        
    

 

 

   
  Total Unfunded Loan Commitments      $4,611,230        
    

 

 

   

 

   * The loan commitment was partially funded on July 6, 2017.
   ** The loan commitment was fully funded on July 26, 2017.

 

(b)  The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base lending rate plus a spread. 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 (“Prime”). The interest rate is subject to a minimum floor, which may be less than or greater than the prevailing period end LIBOR/Prime rate. As of June 30, 2017, the 1, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.22%, 1.30% and 1.45%, respectively, and the Prime lending rate was 4.25%. Senior Loans may contain multiple contracts of the same issuer which may be subject to base lending rates of both LIBOR and Prime (“Variable”) in addition to the stated spread.
(c) All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date and therefore are subject to change.
(d) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(e)  Fair Value Level 3 security.
(f) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of June 7, 2017, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(g)  Non-income producing asset.
(h) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of March 28, 2017, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(i)  Fixed rate asset.
(j) Represents a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) security, which may pay interest in additional principal amount.
(k) The issuer is in default of its reporting and covenant obligations as of May 23, 2017, however it is current with its payment obligations and income is still being accrued.
(l) 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, 2017, these securities amounted to $31,842,804, or 11.31% of net assets.
(m)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(n) The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $423,975,218. 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

   $ 6,004,435   
 

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (10,557,409)  
    

 

 

 
 

Net unrealized depreciation

   $ (4,552,974)  
    

 

 

 

 

(o)  The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.
(p)  Principal $141,000,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $408,968.

(a) “Senior Loans” are senior, secured loans made to companies whose debt is below investment grade as well as investments with similar economic characteristics. Senior Loans typically hold a first lien priority and, unless otherwise indicated, are required to pay interest at floating rates that are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. In some instances, the rates shown represent the weighted average rate as of June 30, 2017. Senior Loans are generally not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “1933 Act”) and often incorporate 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.

 

     Senior Loan assets may have additional unfunded loan commitments. As of June 30, 2017, 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
 
  

 

 
   Bass Pro Group, LLC        $ 3,726,495      
   Equian, LLC*      205,348      
   TCB Holdings III Corp.      116,601      
   USS Parent Holding Corp.      142,893      
     

 

 

 
   Total unfunded loan commitments        $ 4,191,337      
     

 

 

 
  

 

*The loan commitment was partially funded on July 6, 2017.

 

 

(b) The interest rate on this Senior Loan is subject to a base lending rate plus a spread. 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 (“Prime”). The interest rate is subject to a minimum floor, which may be less than or greater than the prevailing period end LIBOR/Prime rate. As of June 30, 2017, the 1, 3 and 6 month LIBOR rates were 1.22%, 1.30% and 1.45%, respectively, and the Prime lending rate was 4.25%. Senior Loans may contain multiple contracts of the same issuer which may be subject to base lending rates of both LIBOR and Prime (“Variable”) in addition to the stated spread.
(c) All or a portion of this Senior Loan position has not settled. Full contract rates do not take effect until settlement date and therefore are subject to change.
(d) Foreign issuer traded in U.S. dollars.
(e)  Fair Value Level 3 security.
(f) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of March 19, 2017, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(g)  Non-income producing asset.
(h) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of June 7, 2017, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(i)  The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of March 28, 2017, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(j)  Fixed rate asset.
(k) Represents a payment-in-kind (“PIK”) security, which may pay interest in additional principal amount.
(l) The issuer is in default of its reporting and covenant obligations as of May 23, 2017, however it is current with its payment obligations and income is still being accrued.
(m) 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, 2017, these securities amounted to $76,819,940, or 30.38% of net assets.
(n) The issuer is in default of its payment obligations as of May 5, 2015, as such, income is no longer being accrued.
(o) Structured Products include collateralized loan obligations (“CLOs”). A CLO typically takes the form of a financing company (generally called a special purpose vehicle or “SPV”), created to reapportion the risk and return characteristics of a pool of assets. While the assets underlying CLOs are often Senior Loans or corporate notes and bonds, the assets may also include (i) subordinated loans; (ii) debt tranches of other CLOs; and (iii) equity securities incidental to investments in Senior Loans. The Fund may invest in lower tranches of CLOs, which typically experience a lower recovery, greater risk of loss or deferral or non-payment of interest than more senior tranches of the CLO. A key feature of the CLO structure is the prioritization of the cash flows from a pool of debt securities among the several classes of the CLO. The SPV is a company founded for the purpose of securitizing payment claims arising out of this asset pool. On this basis, marketable securities are issued by the SPV and the redemption of these securities typically takes place at maturity out of the cash flow generated by the collected claims.
(p) Floating rate asset. The interest rate shown reflects the rate in effect at June 30, 2017.
(q) The aggregate cost of securities for federal income tax purposes was $388,926,322. 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

     $ 6,430,481   
 

Gross unrealized depreciation

     (8,961,083)  
    

 

 

 
 

Net unrealized depreciation

     $ (2,530,602)  
    

 

 

 

 

(r) The Fund has granted a security interest in substantially all of its assets in the event of default under the credit facility.
(s) Principal $138,000,000 less unamortized deferred financing costs of $30,115.
