Athene Holding Ltd. , a retirement services company, said Monday it has reached an agreement with Apollo Global Management Inc. under which Apollo will acquire an 18% stake in Athene in a deal valued at about $1.55 billion. Under the terms of the deal, Apollo will acquire about 35.5 million common shares of Athene, boosting its stake in the company to about 35%. The deal includes about 7.5 million Athene shares that will be exchanged for $350 million of cash, valued at $46.20 a share, or a 10% premium over the closing market price on October 25. It will acquire another roughly 28.0 million Athene shares for a 2.3% premium for a stake of about 7% in Apollo's operating group entities, valued at about $1.2 billion based on the closing price of Apollo's Class A common shares on October 25. As part of the deal, Athene will amend its bylaws to eliminate its multi-class structure, converting Class B shares to Class A shares, and converting Class M shares to Class A shares plus warrants to purchase Class A shares. Athene's board has approved an additional $600 million to its share repurchase authorization. Apollo will have the right to add five directors to Athene's 15-member board once the deal closes. Athene shares rose 1.2% in premarket trade and are up 5.5% in 2019, while the S&P 500 has gained 21%.
