Instructions on how to connect and participate via the Internet, including how to register for the Annual Meeting and demonstrate proof of stock ownership, are posted at www.proxyvote.com. If you authorize a proxy or provide voting instructions in advance of the meeting, you do not need to register for or attend the Annual Meeting in order for your vote to be counted.
The Annual Meeting will begin promptly at 1:00 p.m., Eastern Time. Please check in by 12:45 p.m., Eastern Time, on the day of the Annual Meeting so that any technical difficulties may be addressed before the live webcast begins.

Attending (virtually) the Annual Meeting will not automatically revoke a stockholder’s previously submitted proxy unless such stockholder votes (electronically) at the Annual Meeting. If a proxy is
1

properly authorized without specifying any voting instructions and not revoked prior to the Annual Meeting, the shares of Common Stock represented by such proxy will be voted FOR the election of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement as directors, to serve on our board of directors until our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualify, and FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year. As to any other business which may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof, the persons named as proxy holders on your proxy card will vote the shares of Common Stock represented by properly submitted proxies in their discretion, or, if any of the nominees named in this Proxy Statement are unable or unwilling to serve, FOR the election of any other nominees designated by our board of directors.
This Proxy Statement, the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and the related proxy card are first being made available or sent to stockholders on or about August 10, 2023.
ANNUAL REPORT
This Proxy Statement is accompanied by our Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2022, including financial statements audited by Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, and their report thereon, dated March 10, 2023.
VOTING SECURITIES AND RECORD DATE
Stockholders will be entitled to cast one vote for each share of Common Stock held of record at the close of business on July 21, 2023 (the “Record Date”) with respect to (i) the election of seven directors to serve on our board of directors until our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and until their respective successors are duly elected and qualify, (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year and (iii) any other proposal for stockholder action that may properly come before the Annual Meeting or any postponements or adjournments thereof.
The presence, in person or by proxy, at the virtual Annual Meeting of holders of Common Stock entitled to cast at least 50% of all the votes entitled to be cast at the Annual Meeting shall constitute a quorum. Abstentions and broker non-votes are each included in the determination of the number of shares present at the Annual Meeting for the purpose of determining whether a quorum is present. A broker non-vote occurs when a nominee holding shares for a beneficial owner (e.g., a broker) does not vote on a particular proposal because such nominee does not have discretionary voting power for that particular matter and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner. Therefore, if you hold your shares in street name and do not give the broker or nominee specific voting instructions on the election of directors, your shares will not be voted on those items, and a broker non-vote will occur. Abstentions and broker non-votes will have the effect of a vote against the nominees. Abstentions, if any, will have no effect on the voting results for the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as ARIS’ independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year.
The disposition of business scheduled to come before the Annual Meeting, assuming a quorum is present, will require the following affirmative votes: (i) for the election of a director, a majority of all the votes represented in person or by proxy at the Annual Meeting; and (ii) for the ratification of the appointment of our independent registered public accounting firm, a majority of all the votes cast on the proposal.
The board of directors knows of no other matters that may properly be brought before the Annual Meeting. If other matters are properly introduced, the persons named in the proxy as the proxy holders will vote on such matters in their discretion.
As of the Record Date, we had 5,160,104.019 shares of Class F-I Common Stock and 8,246,162.928 shares of Class A-I Common Stock issued and outstanding. No other classes of shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

2. RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT
REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
The Audit Committee of our board of directors (the “Audit Committee”) has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
Deloitte & Touche LLP has audited our financial statements since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022. Our board of directors is requesting that our stockholders ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023.
Neither our Bylaws nor other governing documents or law require stockholder ratification of the Audit Committee’s appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. However, our board of directors is submitting the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the stockholders for ratification as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that ratification of this appointment of independent registered public accounting firm is not approved at the Annual Meeting, the Audit Committee will review our future selection of our independent registered public accounting firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests.
Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting via the live webcast and will be provided with an opportunity to make a statement if so desired and to respond to appropriate inquiries from stockholders.
Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm Fees
The following table summarizes the aggregate fees (including related expenses) billed to us for professional services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022.

Ended December 31, 2022
Audit Fees(1)

All Other Fees
Total
$350,000
(1)
Audit Fees include amounts billed to us related to annual financial statement audit work, seed balance sheet audit work, quarterly financial statement reviews and review of SEC registration statements.
The Audit Committee’s charter requires the Audit Committee to review and pre-approve the engagement fees and the terms of all auditing and non-auditing services to be provided by our Company’s independent external auditors and evaluate the effect thereof on the independence of the external auditors. All audit services provided to us by the Company’s independent external auditors were reviewed and pre-approved by the Audit Committee, which concluded that the provision of such services by Deloitte & Touche LLP was compatible with the maintenance of that firm’s independence in the conduct of its auditing functions.
Our board of directors recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2023 fiscal year.
A majority of all of the votes cast on this proposal at the Annual Meeting is required for its approval. Proxies solicited by our board of directors will be voted FOR this proposal, unless otherwise instructed. Abstentions, if any, will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on the result of the vote, although they will be considered present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

We commenced operations in December 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2022, our board of directors held two meetings. All of the directors then serving on our board of directors attended all of the meetings of our board of directors and of the committees of our board of directors on which they served during 2022 (during the periods that they served). The policy of our board of directors, as set forth in the Corporate Governance Guidelines, is to encourage and promote the attendance by each director at all scheduled meetings of our board of directors and all meetings of our stockholders.
Committees of the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
Audit Committee. Gary Meltzer (Chairperson), Michael Swell, Lisa Coca, and Roberta Sydney are the current members of the Audit Committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent as required by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) governing the qualifications of Audit Committee members, our Charter, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charter of the Audit Committee. Our board of directors has also determined, based upon its qualitative assessment of their relevant levels of knowledge and business experience (see “Election of Directors” in this Proxy Statement for a description of our directors’ respective backgrounds and experience), that Mr. Meltzer qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” for purposes of, and as defined by, the SEC rules. The SEC has determined that the audit committee financial expert designation does not impose on a person with that designation any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than the duties, obligations or liability imposed on such person as a member of the audit committee of the board of directors in the absence of such designation. In addition, our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are financially literate and at least one member of the Audit Committee has accounting and related financial management expertise as required by the charter of the Audit Committee.
The Audit Committee, which met two times during 2022, assists our board of directors in overseeing:
our accounting and financial reporting processes,
the integrity and audits of our financial statements,
our compliance with legal and regulatory requirements,
the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors, and
the performance of our internal and independent auditors.
In addition, the Audit Committee selects the independent auditors to audit our annual financial statements and reviews with the independent auditors the plans and results of the audit engagement. The Audit Committee also approves the audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and the fees we pay for these services.
The Audit Committee has adopted procedures for the handling of reports pertaining to accounting, internal control and auditing matters. The Audit Committee oversees the receipt, retention and treatment of any reports and complaints received or submitted pursuant to the foregoing procedures and of any reports and complaints subject to Section 21F of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
Compensation Committee. Michael Swell (Chairperson), Gary Meltzer, Lisa Coca and Roberta Sydney are the current members of the Compensation Committee of our board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”). Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Compensation Committee are independent as required by our Charter, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charter of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee, which met one time during 2022, is responsible for overseeing our compensation programs. The Compensation Committee reviews the compensation and benefits paid by us to our directors and the compensation paid to our executive officers as well as any employment, severance and termination agreements or
8

arrangements made with any executive officer and, if required, produces the report to be included in our annual proxy statement. We are externally managed by the Adviser pursuant to an advisory agreement by and among the Adviser, ARIS Operating Partnership, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”) and us (as amended, restated, or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Advisory Agreement”), and as of the date hereof we have no employees.
The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, delegate all or a portion of its duties and responsibilities to a subcommittee of the Compensation Committee. The specific responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are set forth in its charter, which is available for viewing on our website at www.gwms.apollo.com/realtyincomesolutions.
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Roberta Sydney (Chairperson), Lisa Coca, Gary Meltzer and Michael Swell are the current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. Our board of directors has determined that all of the members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are independent as required by our Charter, the Corporate Governance Guidelines and the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, which met one time during 2022, is responsible for:
assisting our board of directors in identifying individuals qualified to become members of our board of directors;
recommending director nominees to our board of directors to fill vacancies on the board;
recommending committee assignments for directors to our board of directors;
assessing the performance of our board of directors;
developing and recommending appropriate corporate governance principles and guidelines to our board of directors; and
reviewing and assessing our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and monitoring any other corporate governance policies and procedures we may have from time to time.
The specific responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee are set forth in its charter, which is available for viewing on our website at www.gwms.apollo.com/realtyincomesolutions.
Report of the Audit Committee
The Audit Committee has furnished the following report for our fiscal year ended December 31, 2022:
The Audit Committee is responsible for monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, our system of internal controls, our risk management, the qualifications, independence and performance of our independent registered public accounting firm and our compliance with related legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee has the sole authority and responsibility to select, determine the compensation of, evaluate and, when appropriate, replace our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee operates under a charter adopted by our board of directors.
Management is primarily responsible for our financial reporting process, including the system of internal controls, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. Deloitte & Touche LLP, our independent registered public accounting firm, is responsible for performing an independent audit of our annual consolidated financial statements and expressing an opinion as to their conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to oversee and review the financial reporting process. The Audit Committee is not, however, professionally engaged in the practice of accounting or auditing and does not provide any expert or other special assurance as to such financial statements concerning compliance with laws, regulations or accounting principles generally accepted in the United States or as to auditor independence. The Audit Committee relies, without independent verification, on the information provided to it and on the representations made by our management and our independent registered public accounting firm.
9

The Audit Committee held two meetings in 2022. These meetings were designed, among other things, to facilitate and encourage communication among the Audit Committee, management and Deloitte & Touche LLP. At these meetings, among other things, the Audit Committee reviewed the consolidated financial statements contained in our quarterly reports. In addition, the Audit Committee and management discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the overall scope and plans for its audit.
At a meeting held subsequent to December 31, 2022, the Audit Committee reviewed and discussed with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP the audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and the related report prepared by Deloitte & Touche LLP. The Audit Committee met with Deloitte & Touche LLP, with and without management present, to discuss the results of their examinations. Management represented to the Audit Committee that our consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States.
The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP matters that independent registered public accounting firms must discuss with audit committees under generally accepted auditing standards and standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”), including, among other things, matters related to the conduct of the audit of our consolidated financial statements.
The Audit Committee also discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence from us. Deloitte & Touche LLP provided to the Audit Committee the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent registered public accounting firm’s communication with audit committees concerning independence and represented that it is independent from us. The Audit Committee also received regular updates on the amount of fees and scope of audit services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP.
Based on the Audit Committee’s review and these meetings, discussions and reports, and subject to the limitations on the Audit Committee’s role and responsibilities referred to above and in its charter, the Audit Committee recommended to our board of directors that our audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022 be included in our annual report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC. The Audit Committee has also appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2023 and is presenting this selection to our stockholders for ratification.

The foregoing Report of the Audit Committee shall not be deemed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act to be (i) “soliciting material” or “filed” or (ii) incorporated by reference by any general statement into any filing made by us with the SEC, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate such report by reference.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
Role of the Board and Risk Oversight
Pursuant to our Charter and Bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, our business and affairs are managed under the direction of our board of directors. Our board of directors has the responsibility for establishing broad corporate policies and for our overall performance and direction but is not involved in our day-to-day operations. Members of our board of directors keep informed of our business by participating in meetings of our board of directors and its committees, by reviewing analyses, reports and other materials provided to them and through discussions with the Adviser and our executive officers.
In connection with their oversight of risk to our business, our board of directors and the Audit Committee consider feedback from the Adviser concerning the risks related to our business, operations and strategies. The Audit Committee discusses and reviews policies with respect to our risk assessment and risk management, including, but not limited to, guidelines and policies to govern the process by which risk assessment and risk management is undertaken, the adequacy of our insurance coverage, our interest rate risk management, our counter-party and credit risks, our capital availability and refinancing risks, any environmental risks and any cyber risks, if applicable. The Adviser regularly reports to our board of directors on our leverage policies, our asset acquisition process, any asset impairments and our compliance with applicable real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and Investment Company Act of 1940 rules. Members of our board of directors routinely meet with the Adviser and our executive officers, as appropriate, in connection with their consideration of matters submitted for the approval of our board of directors and the risks associated with such matters.
We maintain separate roles for our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chair of our board of directors.
Our board of directors believes that its composition protects stockholder interests and provides sufficient independent oversight of the Adviser. A majority of our current directors are “independent” in accordance with the criteria in our Charter, as more fully described elsewhere in this Proxy Statement under “—Director Independence.” The independent directors meet separately from the personnel of the Adviser on at least a quarterly basis and are very active in the oversight of our Company. The independent directors oversee such critical matters as the integrity of our financial statements, the evaluation and compensation of the Adviser and the selection and evaluation of directors.
Each director has the ability to add items to the agenda of board of directors’ meetings or raise subjects for discussion that are not on the agenda for that meeting. In addition, our board of directors and each board of directors’ committee have complete and open access to the Adviser and its officers, employees and other personnel of the Adviser and its affiliates who support the Adviser in providing services to us under the Advisory Agreement.
Our board of directors believes that its majority independent composition and the roles that our independent directors perform provide effective corporate governance at the board of directors level and independent oversight of both our board of directors and the Adviser. The current governance structure, when combined with the functioning of the independent director component of our board of directors and our overall corporate governance structure, strikes an appropriate balance between strong and consistent leadership and independent oversight of our business and affairs.
In overseeing our corporate policies and our overall performance and direction, our board of directors has adopted the approach of operating in what it believes are the long-term best interests of our Company and our stockholders. In operating under these principles, our board of directors continuously reviews our policies, strategies and activities, including our corporate governance structure and other environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) related matters from time to time, and considers whether any changes are necessary or desirable.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
Our board of directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of our directors and officers. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is designed to comply with SEC regulations relating to codes of conduct and ethics. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our website, https://gwms.apollo.com/realtyincomesolutions. If, in the future, we amend, modify or waive a provision of our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, we may, rather than filing a current report on Form 8-K, satisfy the disclosure requirement by posting such information on our website, as necessary.
11

Corporate Governance Guidelines
Our board of directors has also adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to advance the functioning of our board of directors and its committees and to set forth the expectations of our board of directors as to how it and they should perform its and their respective functions. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines are available on our website, https://gwms.apollo.com/realtyincomesolutions.
Corporate Responsibility
We are externally managed and advised by our Adviser, an indirect subsidiary of Apollo, a high-growth, global alternative asset manager.
Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion
Apollo feels strongly that building a diverse and inclusive workforce is a strategic imperative.
Apollo is approaching its diversity, equity and inclusion strategy through the positioning of its “expanding opportunity” initiative. Expanding opportunity focuses on three specific areas – workplace, marketplace and community. In collaboration with its employees, Apollo is seeking to empower its entire organization to expand opportunity for underrepresented groups in the work its does, every day. Apollo is keenly focused on how it attracts, retains, develops and advances talent at Apollo. Apollo believes that an engaged, diverse workforce is one that will bring its best ideas to innovate and drive value for the firm. To grow a more diverse workforce, Apollo has established arrangements with several organizations to identify diverse talent. Apollo is also committed to development of its existing talent through various opportunities including internal mobility, leadership development programs, and its employee affinity networks. Today, Apollo has five communities – Apollo Women Empower (AWE), Apollo Family Network (AFN), Apollo Veterans Affinity Network (AVAN), Multi-Ethnic Organization Supporting Apollo’s Individuals and Communities (MOSAIC) and Apollo Pride Affinity Network (PRIDE) – with several chapters across every region where Apollo operates. Across the organization, from the team dedicated to citizenship initiatives to the employee affinity networks, Apollo is committed to advancing a shared goal of building a more inclusive, modern high-performance culture.
Talent Development
Apollo believes that ongoing professional development is a critical part of culture at Apollo and an important enabler of its investment process. Because of Apollo’s entrepreneurial culture, the breadth of its integrated platform, and its reputation for strong investment performance, Apollo believes it can attract, develop and retain top talent. Apollo has development programs in place at the associate, principal, managing director and partner levels which demonstrate its commitment to developing, engaging and retaining its employees. In 2022, it also launched an on-demand professional development platform that uses tailored lessons and interactive features to enhance skills and foster an environment of continuous learning. In addition to training and annual review programs, Apollo has instituted annual employee surveys that measure employee satisfaction and engagement, and help evaluate and guide human capital decision-making. Apollo works in partnership with employees to build ongoing culture and diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives that advance its goal of being a great place to work.
Compensation and Benefits
Apollo works to offer a compelling employee value proposition to support its employees’ well-being and reward strong performance. Its pay for performance compensation philosophy is designed to provide competitive compensation to reward employees for performance and to align employee interests with the firm’s long-term growth and with its stockholders. As part of that philosophy, all of Apollo’s employees are granted stock through a range of equity-based compensation programs, including the “One Apollo” stock program. Apollo’s benefits programs are intended to support its employees and their families, and include healthcare, wellness initiatives, retirement and financial wellness programs, paid time off, family leave and a variety of other benefit offerings.
Citizenship
Apollo seeks to actively invest in its communities and engage its employees and other stakeholders in meaningful and impactful Citizenship Programs. Apollo offers its employees philanthropic, volunteer, and other forms of engagement to strengthen communities and expand opportunity around the globe. To empower employees
12

to give back, Apollo hosts volunteer events, provides Citizenship Grants for matching gifts and volunteer rewards each year. Apollo is proud to amplify the efforts of employees, supporting the communities in which they live and the causes and organizations of greatest importance to them.
Apollo Opportunity Foundation
The Apollo Opportunity Foundation was launched in February 2022 to invest in non-profit organizations working to expand opportunity for underrepresented individuals. The Apollo Opportunity Foundation’s mission is to expand opportunity in communities where employees live and work around the globe by deploying capital and engaging Apollo’s people to invest in career education, workforce development and economic empowerment for all. The Apollo Opportunity Foundation seeks to partner with organizations that are championed by Apollo employees to advance economic prosperity and expand opportunity for underrepresented individuals
Sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance
Apollo views sustainable investment to be the strategy and practice of incorporating environmental, social, and governance (“ESG”) factors and sustainability outcomes into investment decisions, practices, and ownership, to the extent they are deemed to be material to financial performance and consistent with fiduciary obligations. Apollo believes that managing relevant ESG risks and realizing ESG opportunities can make Apollo better investors and better stewards of investors’ money by positioning investments of Apollo-managed vehicles for sustainable financial success.
Because Apollo recognizes the potential for ESG factors to impact clients, investments, operations, employees, and local communities, it has endeavored to equip its business to address and oversee these unique risks and opportunities. Apollo takes an integrated approach to ESG management, with oversight from Apollo leadership and collaboration from across the business. To help address client and market expectations, Apollo’s sustainable investment framework is built around five themes: Integration, Engagement, Transparency, Product Solutions, and Compliance.
Integration: Apollo defines ESG integration as the inclusion of sustainability factors into investment analysis and execution, and the assessment and management of relevant ESG risks and opportunities during the term of an investment. Accordingly, ESG integration includes the due diligence processes undertaken prior to making an investment and the ongoing monitoring of the investment.
Engagement: Apollo’s Office of Sustainability members and/or investment professionals may voluntarily engage with companies and issuers in which Apollo-managed vehicles are invested as well as other stakeholder groups to encourage positive outcomes and improved ESG and financial performance.
Transparency: Apollo believes in being transparent about the objectives and results of its the Company’s sustainable investment and ESG strategy, as well as its impact as a company. Apollo voluntarily publishes a publicly available sustainability report to communicate such performance and progress to clients, shareholders, and stakeholders alike.
Compliance: The breadth of the regulatory environment in the sustainability space is growing rapidly, both in respect of existing and emerging regulations and requirements. In recent years, ESG matters have been the subject of increased focus by certain regulators and policymakers in many jurisdictions in which Apollo operates. Governmental regulators and other authorities have proposed or implemented a number of initiatives and additional rules and regulations. To effectively monitor regulatory developments, Apollo regularly consults with external counsel and advisors to help analyze regulatory updates and develop and implement compliance programs.
In 2022, as part of Apollo’s effort to create an industry-leading corporate governance model, the Apollo Global Management, Inc. board of directors established a sustainability and corporate responsibility committee of the board of directors. This committee assists the board of directors in overseeing Apollo Global Management, Inc.’s corporate responsibility and sustainability matters, including environmental sustainability and climate change, human rights, social impact, employee health and safety, and diversity, equity and inclusion. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our board of directors in overseeing our corporate responsibility matters, including relating to environmental sustainability and climate change, social impact, diversity, equity and inclusion, and other public policy or social issues significant to us.
Apollo reports its progress annually in its corporate sustainability report, which is available on its website. The sustainability report and any other information on Apollo’s website are for informational purposes only and are
13

expressly not included as part or, or incorporated by reference into, this proxy statement. Any targets or goals discussed in the sustainability report, on Apollo’s website, and/or in this proxy statement may be aspirational, and accordingly, no guarantees or promises are made that these targets or goals may be met. In addition, statistics and metrics discussed in the sustainability report, on Apollo’s website, or in this proxy statement may be based on assumptions that turn out to be incorrect.
Director Independence
Our Charter and Corporate Governance Guidelines require a majority of the members of our board of directors to be “independent” directors in accordance with the criteria in our Charter. Our Audit Committee charter also requires that all members of the Audit Committee be independent. Based upon its review, our board of directors has affirmatively determined that each of Lisa Coca, Roberta Sydney, Michael Swell, and Gary Meltzer are “independent” members of our board of directors under all applicable standards for independence, including with respect to service on our Audit Committee.
Under our Charter, a majority of our directors must be independent directors, except for a period of up to 60 days after the death, removal or resignation of an independent director pending the election of a successor independent director. Consistent with the North American Securities Administrators Association’s Statement of Policy Regarding Real Estate Investment Trusts, as revised and adopted on May 7, 2007 (commonly referred to as the “NASAA REIT Guidelines”), our Charter defines an independent director as a director who is not and has not for the last two years been associated, directly or indirectly, with Apollo. A director is deemed to be associated with Apollo if he or she owns any interest in (other than an interest in us or an immaterial interest in an affiliate of us that was acquired and divested prior to the commencement of our initial offering (the “Offering”)), is employed by, is an officer or director of, or has any material business or professional relationship with Apollo, the Adviser or any of their affiliates, performs services (other than as a director) for us, or serves as a director or trustee for more than three REITs sponsored by Apollo or advised by the Adviser. A business or professional relationship will be deemed material per se if the gross revenue derived by the director from Apollo exceeds 5% of (1) the director’s annual gross revenue derived from all sources during either of the last two years or (2) the director’s net worth on a fair market value basis. An indirect relationship is defined to include circumstances in which the director’s spouse, parents, children, siblings, mothers- or fathers-in-law, sons- or daughters-in-law or brothers- or sisters-in-law is or has been associated with Apollo. Our Charter requires that a director have at least three years of relevant experience and demonstrate the knowledge required to successfully acquire and manage the type of assets that we intend to acquire to serve as a director. Our Charter also requires that at all times at least one of our independent directors must have at least three years of relevant real estate experience.
Identification of Director Candidates
In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines and its charter, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our board of directors in identifying individuals qualified to become director candidates for our board of directors and recommends director candidates to our board of directors for consideration as nominees to stand for election at our annual meetings of stockholders. Director candidates are recommended for nomination for election as directors in accordance with the procedures set forth in the charter of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
We seek highly qualified director candidates from diverse business, professional and educational backgrounds who combine a broad spectrum of experience and expertise with a reputation for the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee periodically reviews the appropriate skills and characteristics required of our directors in the context of the current composition of our board of directors, our operating requirements and the long-term interests of our stockholders. In accordance with the Corporate Governance Guidelines, directors should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity and values, exercise good business judgment, be committed to representing the long-term interests of our Company and its stockholders and have an inquisitive and objective perspective, practical wisdom and mature judgment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists our board of directors in reviewing director candidates with the objective of assembling a slate of directors that can best fulfill and promote our goals, regardless of gender, age or race, and recommends director candidates based upon contributions they can make to our board of directors and management and their ability to represent our long-term interests and those of our stockholders.
Upon determining the need for additional or replacement board members, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assesses potential candidates. In conducting this assessment, the Nominating and Corporate
14

Governance Committee considers knowledge, experience, skills, diversity and such other factors as it deems appropriate in light of our current needs and those of our board of directors. Although the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not have a formal policy regarding diversity, it is one of the factors that it takes into account when evaluating director candidates. Our director nominees include a total of two women, including one nominee who identifies as an underrepresented minority. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may seek input on such director candidates from other directors, including the Chair of our board of directors and our Co-Chief Executive Officers, and recommends director candidates to our board of directors for nomination. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee does not solicit director nominations, but it will consider recommendations by stockholders with respect to elections to be held at an annual meeting. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will evaluate nominees recommended by stockholders against the same criteria that it uses to evaluate other nominees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee may, in its sole discretion, engage one or more search firms or other consultants, experts or professionals to assist in, among other things, identifying director candidates or gathering information regarding the background and experience of director candidates. If the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee engages any such third party, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee will have sole authority to approve any fees or terms of retention relating to these services.
Hedging and Speculative Trading
Our board of directors has adopted, as part of our insider trading policy, prohibitions against our independent directors, non-employee directors, and all employees, partners, employee directors and officers of Apollo engaging in transactions of a speculative nature involving our securities at any time, including, but not limited to, the purchase or sale of put options. In addition, such persons are prohibited from short-selling our securities or engaging in transactions involving other derivatives based on our securities, including options, warrants, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights or similar rights whose value is derived from the value of our Common Stock (other than securities granted under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan or a successor plan) or that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our securities.
Personal Loans to Executive Officers and Directors
We comply with, and operate in a manner consistent with, applicable law prohibiting extensions of credit in the form of personal loans to or for the benefit of our directors and executive officers.
Communications with the Board of Directors
Our board of directors has approved a process to enable communications with the independent members of the board of directors or the chairperson of any of the committees of the board of directors. Communications by email should be sent to ARISstockholdercommunications@apollo.com. Communications by regular mail should be sent to the attention of our Secretary at our office at 9 West 57th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10019. Each communication received will be reviewed to determine whether the communication requires immediate action. All appropriate communications received, or a summary of such communications, will be sent to the appropriate member(s) of our board of directors. However, we reserve the right to disregard any communication we determine is unduly hostile, threatening, illegal, does not reasonably relate to us or our business, or is similarly inappropriate. Our Secretary, or such other person as appointed by our Secretary, has the authority to disregard any inappropriate communications or to take other appropriate actions with respect to any such inappropriate communications. Our board of directors has approved this communication process.
Executive Sessions of Independent Directors
The independent directors serving on our board of directors meet in executive sessions quarterly at regularly scheduled meetings of our board of directors. These executive sessions of our board of directors are presided over by the Chairperson or another of the independent directors serving on our board of directors selected on an ad-hoc basis.
15

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS
Executive Officer Compensation
We are externally managed by the Adviser and currently have no employees. Our executive officers serve as officers of the Adviser and are employees of the Adviser or one or more of its affiliates. The Advisory Agreement provides that the Adviser is responsible for managing our investment activities, as such our executive officers do not receive any cash compensation from us or any of our subsidiaries for serving as our executive officers but, instead, receive compensation from the Adviser. In addition, we do not reimburse the Adviser for compensation it pays to our executive officers. The Advisory Agreement does not require our executive officers to dedicate a specific amount of time to fulfilling the Adviser’s obligations to us under the Advisory Agreement. Accordingly, the Adviser has informed us that it cannot identify the portion of the compensation it awards to our executive officers that relates solely to such executives’ services to us, as the Adviser does not compensate its employees specifically for such services. Furthermore, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers, we do not provide pension or retirement benefits, perquisites or other personal benefits to our executive officers, our executive officers have not received any nonqualified deferred compensation and we do not have arrangements to make payments to our executive officers upon their termination or in the event of a change in control of us.
Compensation of Directors
Our independent directors receive an annual cash retainer of $100,000, plus an additional retainer of $10,000 to each chairperson of the Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. On an annual basis, $25,000 is paid in the form of an annual grant of restricted stock based on the then-current per share transaction price of our Class E Common Stock at the time of grant and the remaining amount is paid in cash. The restricted stock granted will generally vest and become non-forfeitable on the one-year anniversary of the grant date, provided, in each case, that the independent director is providing services to us as a director on each such vesting date. During 2022, the cash compensation of our independent directors was pro-rated and they did not receive a grant of restricted stock.
We do not intend to pay our non-employee directors additional fees for attending board meetings, but we intend to reimburse each of our non-employee directors for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending board and committee meetings (including, but not limited to, airfare, hotel and food). Our directors who are affiliated with Apollo, including the Adviser, will not receive additional compensation for serving on the board of directors or committees thereof.

Equity Incentive Plan Information
We have adopted the Apollo Realty Income Solutions, Inc. 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.
Purpose. The purpose of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan is to provide a means through which to attract and retain key personnel and to provide a means whereby our directors, officers, consultants and advisors can acquire and maintain an equity interest in us or be paid incentive compensation, including incentive compensation measured by reference to the value of our Common Stock. This equity interest will strengthen our participants’ commitment to our welfare and will align their interests with those of our stockholders.
Administration. The 2022 Equity Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation Committee or another subcommittee of our Compensation Committee to which it has properly delegated power, or if no such committee
17

or subcommittee exists, our board of directors. The Compensation Committee is authorized to interpret, administer, reconcile any inconsistency in, correct any defect in and/or supply any omission in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and any instrument or agreement relating to, or any award granted under, the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan; establish, amend, suspend, or waive any rules and regulations and appoint such agents as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate for the proper administration of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan; adopt sub-plans; and to make any other determination and take any other action that the Compensation Committee deems necessary or desirable for the administration of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules and regulations of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our securities are listed or traded, the Compensation Committee may allocate all or any portion of its responsibilities and powers to any one or more of its members and may delegate all or any part of its responsibilities and powers to any person or persons selected by it in accordance with the terms of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan. Unless otherwise expressly provided in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, all designations, determinations, interpretations, and other decisions under or with respect to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan or any award or any documents evidencing awards granted pursuant to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan are within the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, may be made at any time and are final, conclusive and binding upon all persons or entities, including, without limitation, us, any participant, any holder or beneficiary of any award, and any of our stockholders. The Compensation Committee may make grants of awards to eligible persons pursuant to terms and conditions set forth in the applicable award agreement, including subjecting such awards to performance criteria listed in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan.
Restricted Shares and Restricted Stock Units. The Compensation Committee may grant restricted shares of our Common Stock or restricted stock units, representing the right to receive, upon vesting and the expiration of any applicable restricted period, one share of Common Stock for each restricted stock unit, or, in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee, the cash value thereof (or any combination thereof). As to restricted shares of our Common Stock, subject to the other provisions of the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, the holder will generally have the rights and privileges of a stockholder as to such restricted shares of Common Stock, including, without limitation, the right to vote such restricted shares of Common Stock. Participants have no rights or privileges as a stockholder with respect to restricted stock units.
Effect of Certain Events on 2022 Equity Incentive Plan and Awards. In the event of (1) any dividend (other than regular cash dividends) or other distribution (whether in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock, other securities or other property), recapitalization, stock split, reverse stock split, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, split-off, spin-off, combination, repurchase or exchange of shares of Common Stock or other securities, issuance of warrants or other rights to acquire shares of Common Stock or other securities, or other similar corporate transaction or event that affects the shares of Common Stock (including a change in control, as defined in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan), or (2) unusual or nonrecurring events affecting our Company, including changes in applicable rules, rulings, regulations or other requirements, that the Compensation Committee determines, in its sole discretion, could result in substantial dilution or enlargement of the rights intended to be granted to, or available for, participants (any event in (1) or (2), an “Adjustment Event”), the Compensation Committee will, in respect of any such Adjustment Event, make such proportionate substitution or adjustment, if any, as it deems equitable, to any or all of: (A) the Absolute Share Limit, or any other limit applicable under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan with respect to the number of awards which may be granted under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, (B) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of our Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) which may be issued in respect of awards or with respect to which awards may be granted under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan or any sub-plan and (C) the terms of any outstanding award, including, without limitation, (i) the number of shares of Common Stock or other securities of our Company (or number and kind of other securities or other property) subject to outstanding awards or to which outstanding awards relate, (ii) the exercise price or strike price with respect to any award, or (iii) any applicable performance measures; it being understood that, in the case of any “equity restructuring,” the Compensation Committee will make an equitable or proportionate adjustment to outstanding awards to reflect such equity restructuring.
In connection with any change in control, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, provide for any one or more of the following: (1) a substitution or assumption of awards, or to the extent the surviving entity does not substitute or assume the awards, the acceleration of vesting of, the exercisability of, or lapse of restrictions on awards and (2) cancellation of any one or more outstanding awards and payment to the holders of such awards that are vested as of such cancellation (including any awards that would vest as a result of the occurrence of such event but for such cancellation) the value of such awards, if any, as determined by the Compensation Committee (which value, if applicable, may be based upon the price per share of Common Stock received or to be received by other
18

holders of our Common Stock in such event), including, in the case of stock options and stock appreciation rights, a cash payment equal to the excess, if any, of the fair market value of the shares of Common Stock subject to the option or stock appreciation right over the aggregate exercise price or strike price thereof.
Nontransferability of Awards. Each award will not be transferable or assignable by a participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and any such purported assignment, alienation, pledge, attachment, sale, transfer or encumbrance will be void and unenforceable against us or any of our subsidiaries. However, the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit awards (other than incentive stock options) to be transferred, including transfers to a participant’s family members, any trust established solely for the benefit of a participant or such participant’s family members, any partnership or limited liability company of which a participant, or such participant and such participant’s family members, are the sole member(s), and a beneficiary to whom donations are eligible to be treated as “charitable contributions” for tax purposes.
Amendment and Termination. Our board of directors may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan or any portion thereof at any time; but no such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination may be made without stockholder approval if (1) such approval is necessary to comply with any regulatory requirement applicable to the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan or for changes in U.S. GAAP to new accounting standards; (2) it would materially increase the number of securities which may be issued under the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan (except for adjustments in connection with certain corporate events); or (3) it would materially modify the requirements for participation in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan; and any such amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant or any holder or beneficiary of any award will not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent.
The Compensation Committee may, to the extent consistent with the terms of any applicable award agreement, waive any conditions or rights under, amend any terms of, or alter, suspend, discontinue, cancel or terminate, any award granted or the associated award agreement, prospectively or retroactively (including after a participant’s termination). However, except as otherwise permitted in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, any such waiver, amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuance, cancellation or termination that would materially and adversely affect the rights of any participant with respect to such award will not to that extent be effective without such individual’s consent. In addition, without stockholder approval, except as otherwise permitted in the 2022 Equity Incentive Plan, (1) no amendment or modification may reduce the exercise price of any option or the strike price of any stock appreciation right; (2) the Compensation Committee may not cancel any outstanding option or stock appreciation right and replace it with a new option or stock appreciation right (with a lower exercise price or strike price, as the case may be) or other award or cash payment that is greater than the value of the cancelled option or stock appreciation right; and (3) the Compensation Committee may not take any other action which is considered a “repricing” for purposes of the stockholder approval rules of any securities exchange or inter-dealer quotation system on which our securities are listed or quoted.
Clawback/Repayment. All awards are subject to reduction, cancellation, forfeiture or recoupment to the extent necessary to comply with (1) any clawback, forfeiture or other similar policy adopted by our board of directors or the Compensation Committee and as in effect from time to time and (2) applicable law. To the extent that a participant receives any amount in excess of the amount that the participant should otherwise have received under the terms of the award for any reason (including, without limitation, by reason of a financial restatement, mistake in calculations or other administrative error), the participant will be required to repay any such excess amount to us.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
The following describes all transactions during the period from February 18, 2022 (the date of initial capitalization) through December 31, 2022, and currently proposed transactions involving us, our directors, the Adviser, Apollo and any affiliate thereof.
Our Relationship with the Adviser and Apollo
We are externally managed by the Adviser, which is responsible for sourcing, evaluating and monitoring our investment opportunities and making decisions related to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of our assets, in accordance with our investment objectives, guidelines, policies and limitations, subject to oversight by our board of directors. The Adviser is an affiliate of Apollo. All of our officers and directors, other than the independent directors, are employees of the Adviser. We have and will continue to have certain relationships with the Adviser and its affiliates.
Advisory Agreement
Our board of directors has delegated to the Adviser the sourcing, evaluating and monitoring of our investment opportunities and the decision making related to the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of our assets, in accordance with our investment objectives, guidelines, policies and limitations, subject to oversight by our board of directors. We or the Adviser may retain other service providers in connection with our operations, including, without limitation, administration, legal and accounting support. The Adviser will leverage the global resources of Apollo to achieve our investment goals and objectives.
Pursuant to the terms of the Advisory Agreement, the Adviser is responsible for, among other things:
serving as an adviser to us and the Operating Partnership with respect to the establishment and periodic review of our investment guidelines and our and the Operating Partnership’s investments, financing activities and operations;
sourcing, evaluating and monitoring our and the Operating Partnership’s investment opportunities and executing the acquisition, management, financing and disposition of our and the Operating Partnership’s assets, in accordance with our investment guidelines, policies and objectives and limitations, subject to oversight by our board of directors;
with respect to prospective acquisitions, purchases, sales, exchanges or other dispositions of investments, conducting negotiations on our and the Operating Partnership’s behalf with sellers, purchasers, and other counterparties and, if applicable, their respective agents, advisors and representatives, and determining the structure and terms of such transactions;
providing us with portfolio management and other related services;
serving as our adviser with respect to decisions regarding any of our financings, hedging activities or borrowings; and
engaging and supervising, on our and the Operating Partnership’s behalf and at our and the Operating Partnership’s expense, various service providers.
All related party transactions shall be disclosed in our applicable filings with the SEC as required under applicable securities law rules and regulations.
The above summary is provided to illustrate the material functions which the Adviser will perform for us and it is not intended to include all of the services which may be provided to us by the Adviser or third parties.
Management Fee
As compensation for its services provided pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we pay the Adviser a management fee equal to 1.25% of the most recent prior month’s net asset value (“NAV”) for shares of Class S Common Stock, Class D Common Stock and Class I Common Stock per annum payable monthly. We pay the Adviser a management fee equal to 1.00% of NAV for shares of Class F-S Common Stock, Class F-D Common Stock, Class F-I Common Stock and Class A-I Common Stock per annum payable monthly. We pay the Adviser a management fee equal to 1.00% of NAV for shares of Class A-II Common Stock per annum payable monthly;
22

provided that, for the period from April 1, 2023 through September 1, 2026, this management fee will be reduced to 0.92% of NAV for shares of Class A-II Common Stock per annum payable monthly. We pay the Adviser a management fee equal to 1.00% of NAV for shares of Class A-III Common Stock per annum payable monthly; provided that, for the period from April 1, 2023 through January 2, 2027, this management fee will be reduced to 0.85% of NAV for shares of Class A-III Common Stock per annum payable monthly. The lower management fees associated with the anchor shares will not be borne by the other share classes in the Offering. Additionally, to the extent that our Operating Partnership issues Operating Partnership limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership (the “Operating Partnership units”) to parties other than us, our Operating Partnership will pay the Adviser a management fee equal to (1) 1.25% of the NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class S units, Class D units and Class I units not held by us; (2) 1.00% of NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class F-S units, Class F-D units, Class F-I units and Class A-I units not held by us; (3) 1.00% of NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class A-II units not held by us provided that, for the period from April 1, 2023 through September 1, 2026, this management fee will be reduced to 0.92% of NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class A-II units not held by us; and (4) 1.00% of NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class A-III units not held by us provided that, for the period from April 1, 2023 through January 2, 2027, this management fee will be reduced to 0.85% of NAV of the Operating Partnership attributable to Class A-III units not held by us, in each case per annum payable monthly. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we will not pay the Adviser a management fee on Class E Common Stock or Class E units, and as a result, it is a class-specific expense. In calculating our management fee, we will use our NAV before giving effect to accruals for the management fee, performance participation allocation, stockholder servicing fees or distributions payable on shares of our Common Stock.
Performance Participation Allocation
So long as the Advisory Agreement has not been terminated (including by means of non-renewal), ARIS Special Limited Partner, LLC (the “Special Limited Partner”) holds a performance participation interest in the Operating Partnership that entitles it to receive an allocation from our Operating Partnership equal to (1) 12.5% of the Total Return with respect to Class S units, Class D units and Class I units and (2) 9.0% of the Total Return with respect to Class F-S units, Class F-D units and Class F-I units, in each case subject to a 5% Hurdle Amount and a High Water Mark with respect to such class of units, with a Catch-Up (each term as defined in the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership, by and among us, as general partner, the Special Limited Partner and the limited partners party thereto from time to time, (as amended, restated or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Limited Partnership Agreement”)). Such allocation will be made annually and accrue monthly.
Under the Limited Partnership Agreement, the performance participation interest will not be paid on Class A-I units, Class A-II units, Class A-III units or Class E units, and as a result, it is a class-specific expense. To the extent no performance participation allocations will be paid with respect to the Class A-I units, Class A-II units, Class A-III units or Class E units, the performance participation allocations associated with the classes other than the Class A-I units, Class A-II units, Class A-III units or Class E units will not be affected because the fees are class-specific expenses.
Specifically, the Special Limited Partner will be allocated a performance participation in an amount equal to:
First, if the Total Return with respect to Class S units, Class D units, Class I units, Class F-S units, Class F-D units and Class F-I units for the applicable period exceeds the sum, with respect to such relevant class of Operating Partnership units, of (i) the Hurdle Amount for that period and (ii) the Loss Carryforward Amount (any such excess, “Excess Profits”), 100% of such Excess Profits until the total amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner with respect to such class of Operating Partnership units equals 12.5% (with respect to Class S units, Class D units or Class I units) or 9.0% (with respect to Class F-S units, Class F-D units or Class F-I units) of the sum of (x) the Hurdle Amount with respect to such class of Operating Partnership units for that period and (y) any amount allocated to the Special Limited Partner with respect to such class of Operating Partnership units pursuant to this clause (this is commonly referred to as a “Catch-Up”); and
Second, to the extent there are remaining Excess Profits, (i) with respect to Class S units, Class D units or Class I units, 12.5% of such remaining Excess Profits and (ii) with respect to Class F-S units, Class F-D units or Class F-I units, 9.0% of such remaining Excess Profits.
23

“Total Return” with respect to any Operating Partnership units for any period since the end of the prior calendar year shall equal the sum of:
(i)
all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on such Operating Partnership units plus
(ii)
the change in aggregate NAV of such units since the beginning of the year, before giving effect to (x) changes resulting solely from the proceeds of issuances of additional Operating Partnership units, (y) any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and (z) applicable stockholder servicing fee expenses (including any payments made to us for payment of such expenses) allocable to such Operating Partnership units.
For the avoidance of doubt, the calculation of Total Return will (i) include any appreciation or depreciation in the NAV of any relevant units issued during the then-current calendar year but (ii) exclude the proceeds from the initial issuance of such units.
“Hurdle Amount” with respect to any Operating Partnership units means, for any period during a calendar year, that amount that results in a 5% annualized internal rate of return on the NAV of such Operating Partnership units outstanding at the beginning of the then-current calendar year and such Operating Partnership units issued since the beginning of the then-current calendar year, taking into account the timing and amount of all distributions accrued or paid (without duplication) on all such units and all issuances of any such Operating Partnership units over the period and calculated in accordance with recognized industry practices. The ending NAV of such Operating Partnership units used in calculating the internal rate of return will be calculated before giving effect to any allocation/accrual to the performance participation interest and applicable stockholder servicing fee expenses, provided that the calculation of the Hurdle Amount for any period will exclude any such Operating Partnership units repurchased during such period, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below.
Except as described in Loss Carryforward Amount below, any amount by which Total Return falls below the Hurdle Amount will not be carried forward to subsequent periods.
“Loss Carryforward Amount” with respect to any Operating Partnership units shall initially equal zero and shall cumulatively increase by the absolute value of any negative annual Total Return with respect to such Operating Partnership units and decrease by any positive annual Total Return with respect to such Operating Partnership units, provided that each Loss Carryforward Amount shall at no time be less than zero and provided further that the calculation of each Loss Carryforward Amount will exclude the Total Return related to any relevant Operating Partnership units repurchased during such year, which units will be subject to the performance participation allocation upon repurchase as described below. The effect of the Loss Carryforward Amount is that the recoupment of past annual Total Return losses will offset the positive annual Total Return for purposes of the calculation of the Special Limited Partner’s performance participation. This is referred to as a “High Water Mark.”
Expense Reimbursement
We will reimburse the Adviser for out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in connection with the services it provides to us, including, but not limited to, (1) legal, accounting and printing fees and other expenses attributable to our organization, preparation of the registration statement, registration and qualification of our Common Stock for sale with the SEC and in the various states and filing fees incurred by the Adviser, (2) the actual cost of goods and services used by us and obtained from third parties, including but not limited to fees paid to administrators, consultants, attorneys, technology providers and other services providers, and brokerage fees paid in connection with the purchase and sale of investments and securities, (3) expenses of managing and operating our properties, whether payable to an affiliate or a non-affiliated person, and (4) out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the selection and acquisition of properties and real estate-related securities, whether or not such investments are acquired. Such out-of-pocket costs and expenses will include expenses relating to compliance-related matters and regulatory filings relating to our activities (including, without limitation, expenses relating to the preparation and filing of Form PF, Form ADV, reports to be filed with the CFTC, reports, disclosures, and/or other regulatory filings of the Adviser and its affiliates relating to our activities (including our pro rata share of the costs of the Adviser and its affiliates of regulatory expenses that relate to us and Other Apollo Accounts)).
“Other Apollo Accounts” means investment funds, REITs, vehicles, accounts, products and/or other similar arrangements, including insurance dedicated funds (“IDFs”) sponsored, advised, and/or managed by Apollo or its affiliates, whether currently in existence or subsequently established (in each case, including any related successor
24

funds, alternative vehicles, supplemental capital vehicles, surge funds, over-flow funds, co-investment vehicles and other entities formed in connection with Apollo or its affiliates side-by-side or additional general partner investments with respect thereto).
Organizational and Offering Costs
The Adviser has agreed that it and/or its affiliates will advance organization and offering expenses on our behalf (including legal, accounting, and other expenses attributable to our organization, but excluding upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees) through December 22, 2023, the first anniversary of the escrow break for the Offering. We will reimburse the Adviser and its affiliates for all such advanced expenses ratably over a 60-month period beginning on December 22, 2023.
General and Administrative Expenses
The Adviser has agreed that it and/or its affiliates will advance certain general and administrative expenses on our behalf through December 22, 2023, the first anniversary of the escrow break for the Offering. The Adviser will continue to advance certain of our general and administrative expenses through December 22, 2023, the first anniversary of the escrow break for the Offering. We will reimburse the Adviser for all such advanced costs ratably over a 60-month period beginning on December 22, 2023.
Terms and Termination Rights under the Advisory Agreement
Reimbursement by the Adviser
Commencing on the earlier of four fiscal quarters after January 5, 2023, the Adviser must pay us the amount by which expenses in any four consecutive fiscal quarters exceed the greater of: (1) 2% of our Average Invested Assets and (2) 25% of our Net Income (the “2%/25% Guidelines”).
Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that our Total Operating Expenses exceed these limits and the independent directors determine that the excess expenses were justified based on unusual and nonrecurring factors that they deem sufficient, the Adviser would not be required to reimburse us. Within 60 days after the end of any fiscal quarter for which our Total Operating Expenses for the four consecutive fiscal quarters then ended exceed these limits and our independent directors approve such excess amount, we will send our stockholders a written disclosure of such fact, or will include such information in our next quarterly report on Form 10-Q, or annual report on Form 10-K, or in a current report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC, together with an explanation of the factors our independent directors considered in arriving at the conclusion that such excess expenses were justified. In addition, our independent directors will review at least annually the total fees and expense reimbursements for operating expenses paid to the Adviser and the Special Limited Partner to determine if they are reasonable in light of our performance, our net assets and our net income and the fees and expenses of other comparable unaffiliated REITs. Each such determination will be recorded in the minutes of a meeting of the independent directors.
For purposes of these limits:
“Total Operating Expenses” are all costs and expenses paid or incurred by us, as determined under generally accepted accounting principles, including the management fee and the performance participation, but excluding: (i) the expenses of raising capital such as organization and offering expenses, legal, audit, accounting, underwriting, brokerage, listing, registration and other fees, printing and other such expenses and taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, distribution, transfer, registration and listing of our capital stock, (ii) interest payments, (iii) taxes, (iv) non-cash expenditures such as depreciation, amortization and bad debt reserves, (v) incentive fees paid in compliance with our Charter, (vi) acquisition fees and acquisition expenses related to the selection and acquisition of assets, whether or not a property is actually acquired, (vii) real estate commissions on the sale of property and (viii) other fees and expenses connected with the acquisition, disposition, and ownership of real estate interests, mortgage loans or other property (including the costs of foreclosure, insurance premiums, legal services, maintenance, repair and improvement of property) with respect to prospective acquisitions, purchases, sales, exchanges or other dispositions of investments, conducting negotiations on our and the Operating Partnership’s behalf with sellers, purchasers, and other counterparties and, if applicable, their respective agents, advisors and representatives, and determining the structure and terms of such transactions.
“Average Invested Assets” means, for any period, the average of the aggregate book value of our assets, invested, directly or indirectly, in equity interests in and loans secured by real estate, including all
25

properties, mortgages and real estate-related securities and consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures or other partnerships, before deducting depreciation, amortization, impairments, bad debt reserves or other non-cash reserves, computed by taking the average of such values at the end of each month during such period.
“Net Income” means, for any period, total revenues applicable to such period, less the total expenses applicable to such period other than additions to, or allowances for, non-cash charges such as depreciation, amortization, impairments and reserves for bad debt or other similar non-cash reserves.
For the period from February 18, 2022 (the date of initial capitalization) through December 31, 2022, we did not manage any assets, and as a result, the above calculations were not applicable to us during this period.
Fees and Reimbursements Paid to the Adviser and Affiliates of the Adviser
For the period from February 18, 2022 (the date of initial capitalization) through December 31, 2022, there were no fees paid or expenses reimbursed to the Adviser or its affiliates.
Independent Directors’ Review of Compensation
Our independent directors will evaluate at least annually whether the compensation that we contract to pay to the Adviser is reasonable in relation to the nature and quality of services performed and that such compensation is within the limits prescribed by our Charter. Our independent directors will supervise the performance of the Adviser and the compensation we pay to it to determine that the provisions of the Advisory Agreement are being carried out. This evaluation will be based on the factors set forth below, as well as any other factors deemed relevant by the independent directors:
the amount of fees paid to the Adviser in relation to the size, composition and performance of our investments;
the success of the Adviser in generating investments that meet our investment objectives;
rates charged to other externally advised REITs and other similar investment entities by advisors performing similar services;
additional revenues realized by the Adviser and its affiliates through their advisory relationship with us (including the performance participation allocation paid to the Special Limited Partner);
the quality and extent of the services and advice furnished by the Adviser;
the performance of the assets, including income, conservation or appreciation of capital, frequency of problem investments and competence in dealing with distress situations; and
the quality of our portfolio in relationship to the investments generated by the Adviser for its own account.
Dealer Manager Agreement
We have entered into a Dealer Manager Agreement with Apollo Global Securities, LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), pursuant to which the Dealer Manager has agreed to, among other things, manage our relationships with third-party broker-dealers engaged by the Dealer Manager to participate in the distribution of shares of our Common Stock, which we refer to as “participating broker-dealers,” and financial advisors. The Dealer Manager also coordinates our marketing and distribution efforts with participating broker-dealers and their registered representatives with respect to communications related to the terms of the Offering, our investment strategies, material aspects of our operations and subscription procedures. We will not pay referral or similar fees to any accountants, attorneys or other persons in connection with the distribution of our shares. The Dealer Manager is a registered broker-dealer affiliated with the Adviser.
Upfront Selling Commissions and Dealer Manager Fees
The Dealer Manager will be entitled to receive upfront selling commissions of up to 3.0%, and dealer manager fees of 0.5%, of the NAV per share of each share of Class S Common Stock or Class F-S Common Stock sold in the primary offering; however, such amounts may vary at certain participating broker-dealers, provided that the sum will not exceed 3.5% of the transaction price. The Dealer Manager will be entitled to receive upfront selling commissions
26

of up to 1.5% of the NAV per share of each share of Class D Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock sold in the primary offering. The Dealer Manager anticipates that all or a portion of the upfront selling commissions and dealer manager fees will be retained by, or reallowed (paid) to, participating broker-dealers.
Stockholder Servicing Fee
Subject to the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority’s limitations on underwriting compensation and certain other limitations described below, we will pay the Dealer Manager selling commissions over time as a stockholder servicing fee (i) with respect to the outstanding shares of our Class S Common Stock and Class F-S Common Stock equal to 0.85% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding shares of our Class S Common Stock or Class F-S Common Stock, respectively, and (ii) with respect to the outstanding shares of our Class D Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock equal to 0.25% per annum of the aggregate NAV of the outstanding shares of our Class D Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock, respectively. We will not pay a stockholder servicing fee with respect to the outstanding shares of our Class I Common Stock, Class F-I Common Stock, Class A-I Common Stock, Class A-II Common Stock, Class A-III Common Stock, or Class E Common Stock. The stockholder servicing fees are selling commissions paid over time. The stockholder servicing expenses borne by the participating brokers may be different from and substantially less than the amount of stockholder servicing fees charged.
The stockholder servicing fees will be paid monthly in arrears. The Dealer Manager will reallow (pay) the stockholder servicing fees to participating broker-dealers and servicing broker-dealers for ongoing stockholder services performed by such broker-dealers, and will waive stockholder servicing fees to the extent a broker-dealer is not eligible to receive it for failure to provide such services. Because the stockholder servicing fees with respect to shares of Class S Common Stock, Class D Common Stock, Class F-S Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock are calculated based on the aggregate NAV for all of the outstanding shares of each such class, it reduces the NAV with respect to all shares of each such class, including shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan
We will cease paying the stockholder servicing fee with respect to any share of Class S Common Stock, Class D Common Stock, Class F-S Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock held in a stockholder’s account at the end of the month in which the Dealer Manager in conjunction with the transfer agent determines that total upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees and stockholder servicing fees paid with respect to such shares would exceed, in the aggregate, 8.75% (or such other percentage not exceeding 10% as determined by the board of directors and disclosed by us in a press release or in a document publicly filed with the SEC pursuant to the Exchange Act) of the gross proceeds from the sale of such shares (including the gross proceeds of any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan upon the reinvestment of distributions paid with respect thereto or with respect to any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan directly or indirectly attributable to such shares). At the end of such month, such share of Class S Common Stock or Class D Common Stock (and any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan upon the reinvestment of distributions paid with respect thereto or with respect to any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan directly or indirectly attributable to such share), including any fractional share, will convert into a number of shares of Class I Common Stock (or fraction thereof) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share and such share of Class F-S Common Stock or Class F-D Common Stock (and any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan upon the reinvestment of distributions paid with respect thereto or with respect to any shares issued under our distribution reinvestment plan directly or indirectly attributable to such share), including any fractional share, will convert into a number of shares of Class F-I Common Stock (or fraction thereof) with an equivalent aggregate NAV as such share. We cannot predict the length of time over which the stockholder servicing fee will be paid due to potential changes in the NAV of our shares.
Fees Paid to the Dealer Manager
For the period from February 18, 2022 (the date of initial capitalization) through December 31, 2022, we did not pay the Dealer Manager for any upfront selling commissions, dealer manager fees, or stockholder servicing fees.
Affiliate Service Agreements
We may retain certain of the Adviser’s affiliates for necessary services relating to our investments or operations, including any administrative services, construction, special servicing, leasing, development, property oversight and other property management services, as well as services related to mortgage servicing, group purchasing, healthcare, consulting/brokerage, capital markets/credit origination, loan servicing, property, title and/or other types of insurance, management consulting and other similar operational matters. Any such arrangements will be at market terms and rates.

Fees and Expenses for Other Services
For the period from February 18, 2022 (the date of initial capitalization) through December 31, 2022, there were no fees paid to affiliates of the Adviser for other services.
Indemnification Agreements with Directors and Officers
We have entered into indemnification agreements with each of our directors and executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of these indemnification agreements, we must indemnify and advance expenses and costs incurred by our directors and executive officers in connection with any claims, suits or proceedings brought against such directors and executive officers as a result of their service. However, our indemnification obligation is subject to the limitations set forth in the indemnification agreements and in our Charter. We also maintain a directors and officers insurance policy.
Related Party Transactions Policies and Procedures
In order to reduce or eliminate certain potential conflicts of interest, our Charter and the Advisory Agreement contain restrictions and conflict resolution procedures relating to transactions we enter into with Apollo, the Adviser, our directors or their respective affiliates. The types of transactions covered thereby include the compensation paid to the Adviser, decisions to renew our Advisory Agreement, acquisitions or leases of assets, mortgages and other types of loans and any other transaction in which Apollo, the Adviser or any of our directors have an interest, reimbursement of operating expenses in excess of the 2%/25% Guidelines, issuances of options and warrants and repurchases of shares. Under the restrictions, these transactions, if permitted, must be approved by a majority of our directors, including a majority of our independent directors, not otherwise interested in such transaction. In determining whether to approve or authorize a particular related party transaction, these persons will consider whether the transaction between us and the related party is fair and reasonable to us and has terms and conditions no less favorable to us than those available from unaffiliated third parties.
Our board of directors has also adopted written policies and procedures for review, approval and ratification of transactions involving us and “related persons” (directors and executive officers, stockholders beneficially owning greater than 5% of our outstanding capital stock, or immediate family members of any of the foregoing). The policy covers any related person transaction that meets the minimum threshold for disclosure in the Proxy Statement under the relevant SEC rules (generally, transactions involving amounts exceeding $120,000 in which a related person has a direct or indirect material interest). A summary of these policies and procedures is set forth below:
Policies
Any covered related party transaction must be approved by our board of directors or by the Audit Committee or a committee of our board of directors consisting solely of disinterested directors (each an “Appointed Committee”). In considering the transaction, our board of directors or the Appointed Committee will consider all relevant factors, including, as applicable, (i) our business rationale for entering into the transaction; (ii) the available alternatives to the transaction; (iii) whether the transaction is on terms comparable to those available to or from third parties; (iv) the potential for the transaction to lead to an actual or apparent conflict of interest; and (v) the overall fairness of the transaction to us.
On at least an annual basis, our board of directors or the Appointed Committee, as applicable, will monitor each related party transaction to assess whether it is advisable for us to amend or terminate the transaction.
Procedures
Management or the affected director or executive officer will bring a potential related party transaction matter to the attention of the Chairperson of the Audit Committee or, if the Chairperson of the Audit Committee is the affected director, to the attention of the Chairperson of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.
The appropriate Chairperson will determine whether a particular matter is a related party transaction under the policy and therefore, should be considered by our board of directors or the Appointed Committee.
If a director is involved in the transaction, such director will be recused from all discussions and decisions by the board of directors or the Appointed Committee about the transaction.
28

Each related party transaction must be approved in advance whenever practicable and, if not practicable, must be ratified as promptly as practicable after the board of directors learns of the transaction.
No director will participate in any discussion or approval of a related party transaction for which such director is a related party, except that the director shall provide all material information concerning the interested transaction to our board of directors or the Appointed Committee.
If a related party transaction will be ongoing, our board of directors or the Appointed Committee may establish guidelines for our Company to follow in its ongoing dealings with the related party. Thereafter, our board of directors or the Appointed Committee, on at least an annual basis, will review and assess ongoing relationships with the related party to see that such related party is in compliance with the guidelines and that the related party transaction remains appropriate.
All related party transactions shall be disclosed in our applicable filings with the SEC as required under SEC rules.
We have also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to each of our officers and directors, which we refer to as “Covered Persons.” The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth certain conflicts of interest policies that limit and govern certain matters among us, the Covered Persons, Apollo, the Adviser and their respective affiliates.
Report of the Independent Directors
Our independent directors have examined the fairness of the transactions and arrangements described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K (the “Annual Report”), and have determined that all such transactions and arrangements are fair and reasonable to us. Our independent directors have reviewed our policies described in the Annual Report and our registration statement related to our ongoing public offering, as well as other policies previously reviewed and approved by our board of directors, and determined that they are in the best interests of our stockholders because our independent directors believe such policies are consistent with achieving our investment objectives while appropriately addressing conflicts of interest that may arise.

OTHER MATTERS
Our board of directors knows of no other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting. The proxies for the Annual Meeting confer discretionary authority on the persons named therein as proxy holders to vote on any matter proposed by stockholders for consideration at the Annual Meeting. As to any other business that may properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons named as proxy holders on your proxy card will vote the shares of Common Stock represented by properly submitted proxies in their discretion.
SUBMISSION OF STOCKHOLDER PROPOSALS
Any stockholder intending to present a proposal at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders and have the proposal included in the proxy statement and proxy card for such meeting (pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act) must, in addition to complying with the applicable laws and regulations governing submissions of such proposals, submit the proposal in writing to us no later than April 12, 2024 and must otherwise be in compliance with the requirements of the SEC’s proxy rules.
Our Bylaws currently provide that any stockholder intending to nominate a director or present a stockholder proposal of other business for consideration at the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, but not intending for such a nomination or proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card relating to such meeting (i.e., not pursuant to Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act), must notify us in writing no earlier than the 150th day and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the 120th day prior to the first anniversary of the date of the proxy statement for the immediately preceding annual meeting of stockholders; provided, however, that in the event that the annual meeting with respect to which such notice is to be tendered is not held within 30 days before or after the anniversary of the date of the preceding year’s annual meeting of stockholders, to be timely, notice by the stockholder must be received no earlier than the 150th day prior to the date of such annual meeting and not later than 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on the later of the 120th day prior to the date of such annual meeting of stockholders, as originally convened, or the tenth day following the day on which public announcement of the date of such meeting is first made. Accordingly, to submit a director candidate for consideration for nomination at our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders, stockholders must submit the recommendation, in writing, by 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, on April 12, 2024, but in no event earlier than March 13, 2024.
In addition to satisfying the notice requirements under our Bylaws, any stockholder who intends to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than our nominees must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act, including providing a statement that such stockholder intends to solicit the holders of shares representing at least 67% of the voting power of shares entitled to vote on the election of directors in support of director nominees other than management’s nominees at least 60 days before the anniversary of the prior year’s annual meeting, which, for statements delivered with respect to the 2024 annual meeting, will be July 28, 2024. If our 2024 annual meeting is changed by more than 30 calendar days from the first anniversary of our 2023 annual meeting, stockholders must comply with the additional requirements of Rule 14a-19(b) under the Exchange Act no later than the later of 60 calendar days prior to the date of the 2024 annual meeting or the 10th calendar day following the day on which public announcement of the date of the 2024 annual meeting is first made.
Any such nomination or proposal should be sent to our Secretary at Apollo Realty Income Solutions, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10019 and, to the extent applicable, must include the information and other materials required by our Bylaws.
HOUSEHOLDING OF PROXY MATERIALS
The rules of the SEC permit companies and intermediaries (such as brokerage firms, banks, broker-dealers or other similar organizations) to satisfy the delivery requirements for the Notice and proxy materials with respect to two or more stockholders sharing the same address by delivering a single Notice or copy of the proxy materials, as the case may be, addressed to each of those stockholders. This practice, commonly referred to as “householding,” is designed to reduce our printing and postage costs. Stockholders who hold shares in “street name” (as described below) may contact their intermediaries to request information about householding.
If you have received notice from your broker, nominee or other intermediary, or us that your household will receive only one copy of our proxy materials, you will be deemed to have consented to this process unless you specifically revoke your consent. If you received only one copy of our proxy materials and wish to receive a separate copy for each stockholder at your household, or if, at any time, you wish to resume receiving separate proxy

materials, or if you are receiving multiple statements and reports and wish to receive only one, please notify your broker, nominee or other intermediary if your shares are held in a brokerage account or us if you hold registered shares. If, at any time, such a record stockholder no longer wishes to participate in “householding” and would prefer to receive a separate set of our proxy materials, such stockholder should so notify us by directing written requests to: Apollo Realty Income Solutions, Inc., 9 West 57th Street, 42nd Floor, New York, New York 10019, Attn: Secretary or by calling our investor relations team at (212) 515 3200.
MISCELLANEOUS
We are bearing all costs associated with the solicitation of proxies in connection with the Annual Meeting. This solicitation is being made primarily through the Internet and by mail, but may also be made by our directors and executive officers by telephone, telegraph, facsimile transmission, electronic transmission, Internet, mail or personal interview. No additional compensation will be given to our directors or executive officers for this solicitation. We will request brokers and nominees who hold shares of Common Stock in their names to furnish proxy materials to beneficial owners of such shares and will reimburse such brokers and nominees for their reasonable expenses incurred in forwarding solicitation materials to such beneficial owners.
A COPY OF OUR ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K (FILED WITH THE SEC), WHICH CONTAINS ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT US, IS AVAILABLE FREE OF CHARGE TO ANY STOCKHOLDER. REQUESTS SHOULD BE DIRECTED TO OUR SECRETARY AT APOLLO REALTY INCOME SOLUTIONS, INC., 9 WEST 57TH STREET, 42ND FLOOR, NEW YORK, NEW YORK 10019.
