AAA Investments Enters into Co-investment Agreement with Apollo Investment Fund VII



    AP Alternative Assets, L.P. (Euronext Amsterdam: AAA) announced
    today that AAA Investments, L.P. ("AAA Investments"), a vehicle
    through which AP Alternative Assets invests, has entered into a
    co-investment agreement with Apollo Investment Fund VII, L.P. and its
    parallel investment vehicles (together "Fund VII"). Under the
    agreement, AAA Investments will co-invest with Fund VII in each of its
    investments. AAA Investments´ initial co-investment commitment will be
    5%, applicable to all investments to which Fund VII commits during the
    2008 calendar year and to any follow-on investments in the relevant
    portfolio companies. For subsequent calendar years, the agreement
    provides for a variable co-investment commitment ranging from 0% to
    12.5%, to be determined by the board of directors of AAA Guernsey
    Limited, the managing partner of AP Alternative Assets, taking into
    account Fund VII´s projected investment pace and AAA Investments´
    estimated available capital.

    The agreement is subject to certain exceptions pursuant to which
    AAA Investments may be excluded from, or may opt out of, an investment
    where there is a reasonable likelihood that its participation in the
    relevant investment would result in a violation of the provisions of
    any applicable statute, rule, regulation, order or policy or when
    disclosure of AAA Investments´ participation in a particular
    investment would be required and when that disclosure would (as
    reasonably determined by the general partner of Fund VII) prejudice
    Fund VII´s ability to implement the investment plan for the relevant
    investment.

    Apollo formed Fund VII to continue the private equity investment
    strategy that Apollo Investment Fund VI adopted. AAA Investments has,
    to date, co-invested or committed to co-invest a total of $1.2 billion
    in 17 investments.

    sell or solicitation of an offer to purchase or subscribe for
    securities in the United States or in any other jurisdiction. The
    securities referred to herein have not been and will not be registered
