Sources Verified — primary document

  1. Apollo Global Management (2026-05-28) — press release. Primary announcement with scale figures and quotes
  2. Reuters via U.S. News (2026-05-27) — news. Reported ~$10B valuation

Researcher notes: Tampa nexus is the platform's own headquarters. Price is reported by a news source only, so price_disclosed is false. | Platform-level capital event, not a local operating-company sale; company_slug is null because no Tampa Bay operating brand changed hands.
