At a Glance

An independent and majority women-owned company, APCO brings diverse people and ideas together and works beyond traditional boundaries, building the un/common ground upon which progress is made.  

PGIM has maintained a calling relationship with APCO since 2017 and has consistently followed the Company's growth and strategic evolution. In 2023, through a series of pivotal acquisitions, APCO expanded its capabilities in people-centered transformation, capital markets advisory, and international public affairs, broadening its service offerings and global reach. Following these acquisitions, PGIM partnered with APCO to provide flexible, long-term capital that supports continued investment in the business and diversifies the Company's capital structure.  

As a first-time issuer in the private placement market, APCO valued PGIM's flexible approach and ability to tailor terms around their objectives. They appreciated how our relationship-based approach and flexibility in transaction structure enabled us to support the Company’s continued growth.  

We are proud to partner with APCO and look forward to supporting the Company in the years to come.
