Key Details

• Filing date: August 6, 2026.
• Document: Exhibit 1.1 — Amendment No. 2 to Equity Distribution Agreement (filed as part of the 8-K).
• Parties named: Jefferies, Robert W. Baird, BMO Capital Markets, BofA Securities, BTIG, Huntington Securities, KeyBanc, Regions, Truist, and Wells Fargo.

Why It Matters

• Equity distribution agreements govern how a company can sell shares into the market (commonly used for “at‑the‑market” offerings). An amendment can affect the terms, agents, or mechanics under which APLE may raise equity capital.
• For investors, changes to an equity distribution agreement are relevant because they relate to the company’s potential ability to issue additional shares, which could affect share supply and dilution if and when the company sells securities under the agreement.
• This 8-K is informational; it does not itself offer securities or confirm any immediate sale.
