Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance to Vote on Liquidation Plan
Apollo Commercial Real Estate Finance, Inc. (NYSE: ARI) has scheduled a special shareholder meeting for September 29, 2026, to vote on its formal plan of complete liquidation and dissolution. If approved, the company will distribute $3.70 to $4.00 per share in excess cash within 30 days following approval, expected by late October 2026. After this initial payout, ARI will transition into a Liquidating Trust managed at a reduced fee of 0.50% on net assets. The proxy statement estimates total remaining distributions to be between $7.75 and $8.50 per share over the next two years, bringing the projected total value returned since liquidation began to approximately $11.50 to $12.25 per share. The High Dividend Opportunities (HDO) investment group recommends shareholders vote in favor of the plan.
