Apollo's full exit removes a major overhang but signals lack of insider conviction. The concurrent $29.1M-share buyback provides price support but uses capital that could otherwise reduce debt. Watch for the offering price discount and subsequent trading volume; a large discount could pressure shares near-term despite the buyback.
