Apollo Confidentially Files to Start Pipeline Buyout Company
Apollo Global Management LLC has formed an energy-focused blank-check company to invest in oil and gas pipeline infrastructure in North America, according to people familiar with the matter. The New York-based firm has confidentially registered a special purpose acquisition company, or SPAC, with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, said the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. Apollo has a management team in place for the SPAC, which aims to raise capital this year, the people said.
