Apollo Investors Face May 1 Deadline to Seek Lead Role in Suit Over Epstein Disclosures

Overview

• Investor-rights firms including The Rosen Law Firm, Hagens Berman, and Kahn Swick & Foti issued new alerts this week urging Apollo shareholders to move by May 1, 2026 to seek lead-plaintiff status in the Southern District of New York case.
• The lawsuit, Feldman v. Apollo Global Management, No. 1:26-cv-01692, covers purchases from May 10, 2021 through February 21, 2026 and claims Apollo and senior leaders hid or misstated their dealings with Jeffrey Epstein.
• Plaintiffs say public statements that Apollo “never did business” with Epstein were false, citing alleged frequent contacts in the 2010s involving Marc Rowan and Leon Black.
• The complaint points to February 2026 reporting by the Financial Times and CNN about tax discussions, internal documents sent to Epstein, and meetings at his Manhattan townhouse, which preceded a share drop of more than 15% worth about $12 billion.
• No class has been certified, so investors are not represented unless they retain counsel, and the notices also highlight SEC whistleblower options for people with non-public information.
