Notes

$8.5B Apollo LBO in April 2007 — months before housing crash. $6.85B debt. Lost $1.9B in 2008. Near-bankruptcy. Apollo restructured debt, converted to equity, took public Oct 2012 amid housing recovery. Doubled its $1.34B investment. One of the greatest near-death PE recovery stories. Now Anywhere Real Estate.
