Table of Contents

These forward-looking statements represent management's expectations as of the date they are made. These forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and analyses that we made in light of our experience and our perception of historical trends, current conditions and expected future developments, as well as other factors we believe are appropriate in the circumstances. However, these forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties and actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied in such statements. Important factors that could cause actual results, level of activity, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, among other things, risks related to:

our decentralized business model which subjects us to various risks which may impact our ability to execute on our business strategies and integrated policies and processes;

our participation in joint ventures which presents certain risks, including risks of harm to our reputation for failures of our joint venture partners;

expansion of our international operations which subjects us to economic, political, and other risks;

improperly managed projects or project delays that may result in additional costs on claims against us;

our business strategy, which relies on our ability to successfully acquire other businesses, and integrate acquired businesses into our operations, and our inability to do so could adversely affect our business and results of operations;

we may not realize the expected benefits of acquisitions, including the Chubb Acquisition, because of integration and transition difficulties;

adverse developments in the credit markets that could adversely affect funding of significant projects in our industries and our ability to secure financing, take advantage of acquisition opportunities, or achieve our growth objectives;

a significant portion of our revenue is recognized over time based on estimates of contract revenue, costs, and profitability, and our reliance on such projections carries risk of a reduction or reversal of previously recorded revenue or profits;

we have a significant amount of goodwill and identifiable intangible assets that are subject to impairment in the future under certain circumstances;

any shortfalls in our remediation of the material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting, or in our implementation and maintenance of effective controls, creates certain risks;

our substantial level of indebtedness, and the associated compliance obligations contained in the financial maintenance covenants in our credit facilities and restrictions on our operations set forth in our Credit Agreement, increases the potential negative impact of interest rate increases and creates risks to our cash flow and operating flexibility;

we are effectively self-insured against many potential liabilities, which makes estimating our future expenses for claims difficult and which increases the financial risks associated with the realization of such potential liabilities;

a portion of our contracts allocate the risks of price increases, or reductions in the supply, of the materials we use in our business to us;

our contracts portfolio contains many highly-regulated government contracts and guaranties of subsidiary contracts, which present elevated risks in the event of contract breach;

our contracts portfolio is primarily comprised of contracts with durations of less than six months, many of which are subject to reduction or cancellation, which present risks that turn on our ability to maintain a stable pipeline of projects;

a large portion of our workforce is covered by collective bargaining agreements, works council arrangements and benefit pension plans, which limits our discretion in the management of covered employees, carries a risk of strikes or other concerted activities that may impair our operations, subjects us to potential works council claims and litigation and imposes obligations to fund certain pension plans;

we are vulnerable to the economic conditions affecting the industries we serve, including the construction industry and the energy sector, which present risks of a decline in demand for our services or in the financial condition of our customers and their ability and willingness to invest in infrastructure projects;

we often perform our services under dangerous and challenging conditions, which presents substantial risks of injury and associated liability.

we face regular litigation in our business across a broad range of claims, including costs related to damages we may be assessed relating to our contractual obligations or as a result of product liability claims against our customers;

we are governed by many health, safety and environmental laws and regulations, which presents significant risks associated with compliance deficiencies;

S-4

Table of Contents

certain of the markets we serve are seasonal, and our projects can be negatively impacted by poor or extreme weather;

we maintain confidential data and information which exposes us to risks associated with cybersecurity incidents and compliance with data privacy and security laws, identity protection and information security;

we face risks associated with, deterioration in our performance of services, increases in healthcare costs, significant employee misconduct, and adverse regulatory changes, all of which may negatively impact our operations and financial results; and

our success ultimately depends on our ability to compete successfully in the industries and markets we serve which may be jeopardized by the loss of key senior management personnel or a shortage of highly skilled personnel.

These forward-looking statements are based on management's estimates and assumptions with respect to future events and financial performance and are believed to be reasonable, though they are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual results could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. We believe these factors include, but are not limited to, those described under "Risk Factors" in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K, as amended or supplemented by subsequent quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, which have been incorporated by reference into this prospectus supplement.

You should also read carefully the factors described or referred to in the "Risk Factors" section of this prospectus supplement as well as other materials that we from time to time file with, or furnish to, the Commission to better understand the risks and uncertainties inherent in our business and underlying any forward-looking statements. Any forward-looking statements that we make in this prospectus supplement speak only as of the date of such statement, and, unless required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise. Comparisons of results for current and any prior periods are not intended to express any future trends or indications of future performance, unless expressed as such, and should only be viewed as historical data.

We have a winning leadership culture driven by entrepreneurial business leaders that deliver innovative solutions to our customers.

We have a disciplined acquisition platform which has historically provided strategic acquisitions that are integrated into our operations. Since 2005, we have completed over 100 acquisitions. We target companies that align with our strategic priorities and demonstrate key value drivers such as culture, geography, end markets and client base, capabilities, and leadership.

Recent Developments

Agreement to Acquire Elevated Facility Service Group 

On April 12, 2024, we entered into a definitive purchase agreement to acquire Elevated Facility Service Group ("Elevated"), a provider of contractually-based services for all major brands of elevator and escalator equipment, from a fund managed by L Squared Capital Partners, a private equity investment firm, for approximately $570 million in cash, subject to working capital and other standard adjustments. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2024 and is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Preliminary Results for First Quarter of 2024

Set forth below are certain estimated preliminary unaudited financial results and other data for the three months ended March 31, 2024. Our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not yet available. These ranges are based on the information available to us as of the date of this prospectus supplement. These are forward-looking statements and may differ from actual results based on, among other things, completion of our financial closing and other operational procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, are finalized.

These estimates should not be viewed as a substitute for our full interim unaudited financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on this preliminary data. See the sections titled "Risk Factors" and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between the preliminary estimated ranges of our financial and other data presented below and the actual financial and other data we will report for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The estimated preliminary financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have been prepared by, and are the responsibility of, management. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has not reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the estimated preliminary financial results. Accordingly, KPMG LLP does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we expect net revenues for the quarter will range between $1.59 billion to $1.61 billion and adjusted EBITDA will range between $172 to $177 million.

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure. Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization ("EBITDA") is the measure of profitability used by management to manage its segments and, accordingly, in its segment reporting. The Company supplements the reporting of its consolidated financial information with adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as EBITDA excluding the impact of certain non-cash and other specifically identified items ("adjusted EBITDA"). The Company believes this non-U.S. GAAP measure provide meaningful information and help investors understand the Company's financial results and assess its prospects for future performance. The Company uses adjusted EBITDA to evaluate its performance, both internally and as compared with its peers, because it excludes certain items that may not be indicative of the Company's core operating results.

While we believe these non-U.S. GAAP measures are useful in evaluating the Company's performance, this information should be considered as supplemental in nature and not as a substitute for or superior to the related financial information prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Additionally, these non-U.S. GAAP financial measures may differ from similar measures presented by other companies. A reconciliation is not provided for the preliminary estimates of adjusted EBITDA as the Company is unable to predict the amounts to be adjusted, such as the GAAP tax provision.

RISK FACTORS

Before deciding to invest in our Common Stock, you should consider carefully the following discussion of risks and uncertainties affecting us and our Common Stock, as well as the risks and uncertainties incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus from our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023, as filed with the SEC on February 28, 2024 and the other information contained or incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. If any of the events anticipated by these risks and uncertainties occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could be materially and adversely affected, and the value of our Common Stock could decline. The risks and uncertainties we discuss in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference herein and therein are those that we currently believe may materially affect our company. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial also may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Our actual results could differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of certain factors. See "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for more information relating to these factors.

Risk Related to our Common Stock and this Offering

We have broad discretion in the use of the net proceeds from this offering and our existing cash and may not use them effectively.

Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering as well as our existing cash, and you will be relying on the judgment of our management regarding such application. You will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our management might not apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that ultimately increase the value of your investment. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering or our existing cash in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which could cause our stock price to decline.

We operate as a holding company and our principal source of operating cash is income received from our subsidiaries.

We have a holding company structure and do not have any material assets or operations other than ownership of equity interests of our subsidiaries. Our operations are conducted almost entirely through our subsidiaries, and our ability to generate cash to meet our obligations or to pay dividends is highly dependent on the earnings of, and receipt of funds from, our subsidiaries through dividends or intercompany loans. As a result, we are dependent on the income generated by our subsidiaries to meet our expenses and operating cash requirements. The amount of distributions and dividends, if any, which may be paid from the Company and its subsidiaries to us will depend on many factors, including the Company's results of operations and consolidated financial condition, its constitutional documents, documents governing any indebtedness of the Company, limits on dividends under applicable law, and other factors which may be outside of our control. If our subsidiaries are unable to generate sufficient cash flow, we may be unable to pay our expenses or make distributions and dividends on the Common Stock. In addition, to the extent we intend to pay dividends on our Common Stock, we will pay such dividends at such times (if any) and in such amounts (if any) as our Board of Directors determines appropriate and in accordance with applicable law and in accordance with restrictions included in the Credit Agreement governing our term loan facility and secured revolving credit facility and in the indentures governing our outstanding senior notes. Payments of such dividends will be dependent on the generation of sufficient cash flow from operations to fund any potential dividend payment. We can therefore give no assurance that we will be able to pay dividends going forward or as to the amount of such dividends, if any.

We have equity instruments outstanding that would require us to issue additional shares of Common Stock. Therefore, you may experience significant dilution of your ownership interests and the future issuance of additional shares of our Common Stock, or the anticipation of such issuances, could have an adverse effect on our stock price.

We have 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding, which are convertible into shares of our Common Stock, at any time at the option of the holder. We are obligated to pay dividends on the 4,000,000 outstanding shares of Series A Preferred Stock based on the market price of our Common Stock if such market price exceeds certain trading price minimums. These dividends are payable in cash or shares of our Common Stock, at our sole option (which we intend to settle in shares). The issuance of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Series A Preferred Stock will reduce (by the applicable proportion) the percentage stockholdings of those stockholders holding Common Stock prior to such issuance which may reduce your net return on your investment in our Common Stock.

In addition, we have various outstanding equity awards to employees and directors under the 2019 Plan. As of April 11, 2024 we had 125,000 shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of outstanding stock options, an aggregate of 3,425,589 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding RSUs and PSUs (assuming target level) issued under the 2019 Plan, 14,533,889 shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the 2019 Plan and 6,010,495 shares of Common Stock available under the 2020 ESPP.

Table of Contents

We may also issue additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities that are convertible into or exercisable for our Common Stock in connection with future acquisitions, future issuances of our securities for capital raising purposes or for other business purposes. Future sales by us of substantial amounts of our Common Stock, or the perception that sales could occur, could have a material adverse effect on the price of our Common Stock.

We may issue preferred stock in the future, and the terms of the preferred stock may reduce the value of our Common Stock.

Under the terms of our certificate of incorporation, our Board of Directors is authorized to create and issue one or more additional series of preferred stock, and, with respect to each series, to determine number of shares constituting the series and the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, which may include dividend rights, conversion or exchange rights, voting rights, redemption rights and terms and liquidation preferences, without stockholder approval. If we create and issue one or more additional series of preferred stock, it could affect your rights or reduce the value of our outstanding Common Stock. Our Board of Directors could, without stockholder approval, issue preferred stock with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power of the holders of our Common Stock and which could have certain anti-takeover effects. For example, in connection with the Chubb Acquisition, in January 2022 we issued a series of preferred stock which had quarterly dividend rights and which were converted into 32,803,519 shares of Common Stock (inclusive of shares attributable to accrued and unpaid dividends thereon).

Delaware law and our organizational documents contain certain provisions, including anti-takeover provisions, which limit the ability of stockholders to take certain actions and could delay or discourage takeover attempts that stockholders may consider favorable.

Our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), contain provisions that could have the effect of rendering more difficult, delaying, or preventing an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors and therefore depress the trading price of our Common Stock. These provisions could also make it difficult for stockholders to take certain actions, including electing directors who are not nominated by the current members of our board of directors or taking other corporate actions, including effecting changes in our management. These provisions, alone or together, could delay or prevent hostile takeovers and changes in control or changes in our Board of Directors or management.

In addition, Section 203 of the DGCL restricts certain "business combinations" with "interested stockholders" for three years following the date that a person becomes an interested stockholder unless: (1) the "business combination" or the transaction which caused the person or entity to become an interested stockholder is approved by the Board of Directors prior to such business combination or transactions; (2) upon the completion of the transaction in which the person or entity becomes an "interested stockholder," such interested stockholder holds at least 85% of our voting stock not including (i) shares held by officers and directors and (ii) shares held by employee benefit plans under certain circumstances; or (3) at or after the person or entity becomes an "interested stockholder," the "business combination" is approved by the board of directors and holders of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock, excluding shares held by such interested stockholder. A Delaware corporation may elect not to be governed by Section 203. We have not made such an election.

Our stockholders may be required to bring certain actions or proceedings relating to us in the Delaware Court of Chancery and certain actions asserting claims arising under the Securities Act in the federal district courts of the United States.

Pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery is the sole and exclusive forum for: (1) derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of us; (2) actions asserting a claim of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or employees to us or our stockholders; (3) civil actions to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the our certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or (4) actions asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. Under our certificate of incorporation, if the Delaware Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction over any of the foregoing actions or proceedings, then the sole and exclusive forum for such actions or proceedings will be another state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, as long as such court has jurisdiction over the parties. These Delaware forum provisions require our stockholders to bring certain types of actions and proceedings relating to Delaware law in the Delaware Court of Chancery or another state or federal court located in the State of Delaware and therefore may prevent our stockholders from bringing such actions or proceedings in another court that a stockholder may view as more convenient, cost-effective or advantageous to the stockholder or the claims made in such action or proceeding, or may discourage them from bringing such actions or proceedings.

In addition, pursuant to our certificate of incorporation, unless we consent in writing to an alternative forum, the U.S. federal district courts will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). This forum provision prevents our stockholders from bringing claims arising under the Securities Act in state court, which court our stockholders may view as more convenient, cost effective or advantageous to the claims made in such action and therefore may discourage such actions. In addition, while the Delaware Supreme Court has recently upheld provisions of the certificates of incorporation of other Delaware corporations that are similar to this forum provision, a court of a state other than the State of Delaware could decide that such provisions are not enforceable under the laws of that state.

Neither the Delaware nor the Securities Act forum provisions are intended by us to limit the forums available to our stockholders for actions or proceedings asserting claims arising under the Exchange Act.

Our stock price may be volatile and, as a result, you could lose a significant portion or all of your investment.

The market price of our Common Stock on the NYSE may fluctuate as a result of several factors, including the following:

our operating and financial performance and prospects;

variations in our quarterly operating results or those of other companies in our industries;

volatility in our industries, the industries of our customers and suppliers and the securities markets;

risks relating to our businesses and industries, including those discussed above;

strategic actions by us or our competitors;

damage to our reputation, including as a result of issues relating to the quality or safety of the services we provide and systems we install;

actual or expected changes in our growth rates or our competitors' growth rates;

investor perception of us, the industries in which we operate, the investment opportunity associated with the Common Stock and our future performance;

addition to or departure of our executive officers;

changes in financial estimates or publication of research reports by analysts regarding our Common Stock, other comparable companies, or our industries generally, or termination of coverage of our Common Stock by analysts;

our failure to meet estimates or forecasts made by analysts, if any;

trading volume of our Common Stock;

future sales of our Common Stock by us or our stockholders;

economic, legal and regulatory factors unrelated to our performance;

adverse or new pending litigation against us; or

issuance of future annual Series A Preferred Stock dividends, which are intended to be settled in Common Stock.

Furthermore, the stock markets often experience significant price and volume fluctuations that have affected and continue to affect the market prices of equity securities of many companies. These fluctuations often have been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating performance of those companies. These broad market and industry fluctuations, as well as general economic, political and market conditions such as recessions or interest rate changes may cause the market price of our Common Stock to decline.

If securities or industry analysts either do not publish research about us, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about us, our businesses could be adversely impacted or, if such analysts change their recommendations regarding our Common Stock adversely, our stock price or trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our Common Stock is influenced in part by the research and reports that securities or industry analysts may publish about us, our businesses, our market, or our competitors. If one or more of the analysts initiate research with an unfavorable rating or downgrade our Common Stock, provide more favorable recommendations about our competitors, or publish inaccurate or unfavorable research about our businesses, the trading price of our Common Stock would likely decline. If any analyst who may cover us were to cease coverage of us or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our stock price or trading volume to decline.

You may experience dilution as a result of future equity offerings.

In order to raise additional capital, we may in the future offer additional shares of our Common Stock or other securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock at prices that may not be the same as the price in this offering. We may sell shares of our Common Stock or other securities in any other offering at a price that is less than the price paid by investors in this

offering and investors purchasing shares of our Common Stock or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing stockholders. The price at which we sell additional shares of our Common Stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock, in future transactions may be higher or lower than the price paid by investors in this offering.

Our preliminary financial estimates represent management's current estimates and are subject to change.

The estimated preliminary unaudited financial results and other data contained in "Prospectus Summary-Recent Developments-Preliminary Results for First Quarter of 2024" are only preliminary estimates and are based on information available to management as of the date of this prospectus supplement and these estimates could change. Our actual financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are subject to the completion of our financial closing and other operational procedures. Such actual financial results will not be available until after this offering is completed and, consequently, will not be available to you prior to investing in this offering. Our actual financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 may differ materially from the estimated preliminary financial results and other data we have provided as a result of, among other things, completion of our financial closing and other operational procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are finalized. The estimated preliminary financial results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 have not been prepared by our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP. KPMG LLP has not reviewed, compiled or performed any procedures with respect to the estimated preliminary financial results and does not express an opinion or any other form of assurance with respect thereto. Complete results for the three months ended March 31, 2024, will be included in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024. See the other risks described in this section and "Special Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements" for additional information regarding factors that could result in differences between our estimated preliminary financial results and the actual financial results we will report for the quarter ended, March 31, 2024.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The underwriting agreement provides that the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the shares of Common Stock included in this offering are subject to approval of legal matters by counsel and to other conditions. The underwriters are obligated to purchase all the shares of Common Stock (other than those covered by the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares described below) if they purchase any shares of Common Stock.

Shares of Common Stock sold by the underwriters to the public will initially be offered at the price to the public set forth on the cover of this prospectus supplement. Any shares of Common Stock sold by the underwriters to securities dealers may be sold at a discount from the price to the public not to exceed $    per share. If all the shares of Common Stock are not sold at the initial offering price, the underwriters may change the offering price and the other selling terms.

If the underwriters sell more shares of Common Stock than the total number set forth in the table above, we have granted to the underwriters an option, exercisable for 30 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, to purchase up to 1,650,000 additional shares at the public offering price less the underwriting discount. To the extent the option is exercised, each underwriter must purchase a number of additional shares approximately proportionate to that underwriter's initial purchase commitment. Any shares issued or sold under the option will be issued and sold on the same terms and conditions as the other shares of Common Stock that are the subject of this offering.

Our Common Stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol "APG."

The following table shows the underwriting discounts and commissions that we are to pay to the underwriters in connection with this offering. These amounts are shown assuming both no exercise and full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

Lock-Up Agreements

We, our officers and directors and certain stockholders have agreed that, for a period of 60 days from the date of this prospectus supplement, we and they will not, without the prior written consent of Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. and UBS Securities LLC, dispose of or hedge any shares or any securities convertible into or exchangeable for our Common Stock. Citigroup Global Markets Inc., BofA Securities, Inc. in their sole discretion may release any of the securities subject to these lock-up agreements at any time without notice.

The restrictions described in the immediately preceding paragraph do not apply to the following, subject to certain limitations and conditions:

transactions relating to shares of Common Stock or other securities acquired in open market transactions after the completion of this offering;

S-14

Table of Contents

transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock as a bona fide gift;

in the case of a non-natural person, distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to limited partners, members or stockholders of such person;

in the case of a natural person, transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock by will or intestate succession or to any trust or entity for the direct or indirect benefit of such person or any member of the immediate family of such person;

the transfer of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the Company upon a vesting event of the Company's securities or upon the exercise of options to purchase the Company's securities, in each case on a "cashless" or "net exercise" basis or to cover tax withholding obligations in connection with such vesting or exercise;

the entry by us, our officers or directors into a trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; or

in the case of a non-natural person, transfers of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to any corporation, partnership, limited liability company or other entity that controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, such person, or is wholly owned by such person.

In connection with the offering, the underwriters may purchase and sell shares in the open market. Purchases and sales in the open market may include short sales, purchases to cover short positions, which may include purchases pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares, and stabilizing purchases.

Short sales involve secondary market sales by the underwriters of a greater number of shares than they are required to purchase in the offering.

"Covered" short sales are sales of shares in an amount up to the number of shares represented by the underwriters' underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

"Naked" short sales are sales of shares in an amount in excess of the number of shares represented by the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

Covering transactions involve purchases of shares either pursuant to the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares or in the open market in order to cover short positions.

To close a naked short position, the underwriters must purchase shares in the open market. A naked short position is more likely to be created if the underwriters are concerned that there may be downward pressure on the price of the shares in the open market after pricing that could adversely affect investors who purchase in the offering.

To close a covered short position, the underwriters must purchase shares in the open market or must exercise the option to purchase additional shares. In determining the source of shares to close the covered short position, the underwriters will consider, among other things, the price of shares available for purchase in the open market as compared to the price at which they may purchase shares through the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares.

Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase shares so long as the stabilizing bids do not exceed a specified maximum.

Purchases to cover short positions and stabilizing purchases, as well as other purchases by the underwriters for their own accounts, may have the effect of preventing or retarding a decline in the market price of the shares. They may also cause the price of the shares to be higher than the price that would otherwise exist in the open market in the absence of these transactions. The underwriters may conduct these transactions on the New York Stock Exchange, in the over-the-counter market or otherwise. If the underwriters commence any of these transactions, they may discontinue them at any time.

Other Relationships

The underwriters are full service financial institutions engaged in various activities, which may include securities trading, commercial and investment banking, financial advisory, investment management, principal investment, hedging, financing and brokerage activities. The underwriters and their respective affiliates have in the past performed commercial banking, investment banking and advisory services for us from time to time for which they have received customary fees and reimbursement of expenses and may, from time to time, engage in transactions with and perform services for us in the ordinary course of their business for which they may receive customary fees and reimbursement of expenses. In the ordinary course of their various business activities, the

S-15

Table of Contents

underwriters and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (which may include bank loans and/or credit default swaps) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers and may at any time hold long and short positions in such securities and instruments. Such investments and securities activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours or our affiliates.

We have agreed to indemnify the underwriters against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments the underwriters may be required to make because of any of those liabilities.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, expresses an opinion that APi Group Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2023, because of the effect of material weaknesses on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states the Company had inadequate user access controls specific to segregation of duties in the change management process in certain information technology systems and inadequate controls over the completeness and accuracy of time keeping and service order information used in certain revenue and cost of revenue processes.

Series A Preferred Stock

As of May 4, 2023, the Company had 4,000,000 shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock are set forth in our certificate of incorporation.

Dividends

Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock of the Company then outstanding ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and on parity with the rights, if any, of any series of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding ranking on parity with the Series A Preferred Stock and, if the Average Price (as defined in the certificate of incorporation) per share of the Company's common stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the certificate of incorporation) is $11.50 or more for any ten consecutive trading days, the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive, in respect of each Dividend Year (as defined below), in the aggregate, the "Annual Dividend Amount," which is calculated as follows (the "Annual Dividend Amount"):

A X B, where:

A = an amount equal to 20% of the increase (if any) in the value of a share of the Company's common stock, such increase calculated as being the difference between (i) the Average Price per share of common stock over the last ten consecutive trading days of the Dividend Year for such Dividend Year (the "Dividend Price") and (ii) (x) if no Annual Dividend Amount has previously been paid, a price of $10.00 per share of common stock, or (y) if an Annual Dividend Amount has previously been paid, the highest Dividend Price for any prior Dividend Year (subject to adjustment in accordance with the certificate of incorporation); and

B = 141,194,638 shares, being a number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to the number of ordinary shares of the Company's predecessor outstanding immediately following the acquisition of APi Group, Inc. by the Company (the "APi Acquisition"), including any ordinary shares issued pursuant to the exercise of warrants of the Company, but excluding any ordinary shares issued to shareholders or other beneficial owners of APi Group, Inc. in connection with the APi Acquisition, which such number of shares is subject to adjustment as provided in the certificate of incorporation (the "Series A Preferred Dividend Equivalent").

"Dividend Year" means the Company's financial year (which may be twelve months or any longer or shorter period) as determined by the Company's board of directors, except that (i) in the event of the Company's dissolution, the relevant Dividend Year will end on the trading day immediately prior to the date of dissolution and (ii) in the event of the Automatic Conversion (as defined below) of shares of Series A Preferred Stock into shares of common stock of the Company, the relevant Dividend Year will end on the trading day immediately prior to the date of such Automatic Conversion.

The Annual Dividend Amount is payable in shares of the Company's common stock or cash, as determined by the Company's board of directors. Each Annual Dividend Amount will be divided between the holders of Series A Preferred Stock pro rata to the number of Series A Preferred Stock held by them on the last day of the relevant Dividend Year. If the Company's board of directors determines to pay the Annual Dividend Amount in shares of common stock, then each holder of a share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive such number of whole shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the pro rata amount of the Annual Dividend Amount to which such holders is entitled, by the relevant Dividend Price (provided that any fractional shares of common stock due pursuant to such calculation shall not be paid and instead the nearest lower whole number of shares of common stock will be paid).

Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock of the Company then outstanding ranking senior to the Series A Preferred Stock as to dividends and on parity with the common stock of the Company and any series of preferred stock of the Company ranking on parity with such common stock, (i) a dividend per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of shares of common stock into which such shares of Series A Preferred Stock could then be converted, by the dividend payable

Table of Contents

on each such share of common stock, and (ii) a dividend per share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to the amount determined by dividing an amount equal to 20% of the dividend which would be distributable on such number of shares of common stock equal to the Series A Preferred Dividend Equivalent, by the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock outstanding. Upon the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution, or winding up of the Company (a "Liquidation"). each share of Series A Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the amount that would have been received in respect of such share had it been converted into common stock.

Automatic Conversion

The Series A Preferred Stock will be automatically converted into shares of the Company's common stock on a one-for-one basis (subject to adjustment in accordance with the certificate of incorporation) on the last day of the seventh full financial year of the Company following October 1, 2019 (or if such date is not a trading day, the first trading day immediately following such date) (the "Automatic Conversion").

Optional Conversion

By notice in writing and surrender of the relevant certificate or certificates to the Company, a holder of Series A Preferred Stock will be able to convert some or all of such holder's Series A Preferred Stock into an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock (subject to adjustment in accordance with the certificate of incorporation) and, in such circumstances, the shares of Series A Preferred Stock that were subject to such notice will be converted into shares of common stock on the fifth trading day after receipt by the Company of such written notice (the "Optional Conversion"). In the event of an Optional Conversion, no relevant portion of the Annual Dividend Amount will be payable in respect of those shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are converted into shares of common stock for the Dividend Year in which the date of the Optional Conversion occurs.

Voting Rights

Each holder of Series A Preferred Stock is entitled to one vote per share of Series A Preferred Stock on all matters submitted to a vote of shareholders of the Company generally, voting together with holders of the Company's common stock as a single class. The holders of Series A Preferred Stock also have the right to vote separately as a single class on any amendment to the certificate of incorporation, whether by merger, consolidation or otherwise, that would alter or change the powers, preferences or rights or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions of the Series A Preferred Stock so as to affect them adversely and as provided by applicable Delaware law.

Series B Preferred Stock

As of May 4, 2023, the Company had 800,000 shares of Series B Preferred Stock issued and outstanding. The designations and the powers, preferences and rights, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions of the Series B Preferred Stock are set forth in the Series B Certificate of Designation.

Dividends

Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock of the Company then outstanding ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and on parity with the rights, if any, of any series of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to cumulative dividends at a rate of 5.5% per annum on the Liquidation Preference (as defined below), payable quarterly in cash or, if permitted, shares of common stock ("Regular Dividends"). Subject to applicable law and the rights, if any, of any series of preferred stock of the Company then outstanding ranking senior to the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends and on parity with the rights, if any, of any series of the Company's preferred stock then outstanding ranking on parity with the Series B Preferred Stock as to dividends, the holders of Series B Preferred Stock are also entitled to participate in dividends declared or paid on the common stock on an as-converted to common stock basis (the "Participating Dividends"). The Series B Preferred Stock ranks senior to the common stock and Series A Preferred Stock with respect to dividends and upon a Liquidation. Upon a Liquidation, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive the greater of an amount per share equal to (a) the sum of $1,000, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends (the "Liquidation Preference"), and (b) the amount that would have been received in respect of such share had it been converted into common stock.

Table of Contents

Regular Dividends are declared and paid in either cash or, if permitted, shares of common stock, will be paid to the holders of Series B Preferred Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock held by them on the relevant Regular Dividend Record Date (as defined below). Regular Dividends may be paid in shares of common stock rather than cash, as determined by the Company's board of directors, only if the Company determines that certain common stock liquidity conditions (including that the shares of common stock issuable are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) are satisfied on the relevant Regular Dividend Payment Date (as defined below). If Regular Dividends are paid in shares of common stock, then each holder of Series B Preferred Stock will be entitled to receive such number of whole shares of common stock as is determined by dividing the pro rata amount of Regular Dividends to which such holder is entitled by the Average Price per share of common stock for the period starting on the date that is ten trading days prior to the applicable Regular Dividend Record Date and ending on the business day preceding the applicable Regular Dividend Payment Date (provided that any fractional shares of common stock due pursuant to such calculation shall not be paid and instead the nearest lower whole number of shares of common stock will be paid).

Regular Dividends will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprisedof twelve 30-day months.

Mandatory Conversion

The Company may, at its option, effect conversion of all, but not less than all, of the outstanding shares of Series B Preferred Stock to common stock, but only if the volume-weighted average price of the common stock (determined as provided in the Series B Certificate of Designation) for 15 consecutive trading days exceeds 150% of the conversion price equal to $24.60 per share (subject to certain customary adjustments in the event of certain events affecting the price of the common stock) (the "Conversion Price"); provided, however, that the Company may not effect such conversion unless certain common stock liquidity conditions (including that the shares of common stock issuable are registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act) are satisfied with respect to such conversion; provided, further, that such conversion will not apply to any share of Series B Preferred Stock for which a "Fundamental Change" repurchase notice has been delivered and not withdrawn by the holder thereof; provided, further, that the Company may not effect such conversion if it does not have sufficient authorized and unissued and unreserved shares of common stock to effect such conversion.

Optional Conversion

By notice in writing and surrender of the relevant certificate or certificates to the Company, a holder of Series B Preferred Stock may elect to convert all, or any whole number of shares that is less than all, of such holder's Series B Preferred Stock to common stock at the then-applicable Conversion Price, except that such conversion is not permitted if a "Fundamental Change" repurchase notice has been delivered with respect to such share or shares (subject to certain exceptions), such share or shares have been called for redemption (subject to certain exceptions), such share or shares are subject to a mandatory conversion and such notice and surrender is submitted after the close of business on the business day immediately prior to the mandatory conversion date or the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued and unreserved shares of common stock to effect such

conversion. No adjustment will be made to the Conversion Price to account for any accumulated and unpaid Regular Dividends on any shares of Series B Preferred Stock being converted pursuant to an Optional Conversion. In the event that the Optional Conversion occurs after the date fixed to determine the holders of Series B Preferred Stock entitled to a Regular Dividend or Participating Dividend but before the next payment date, then such dividend will be paid notwithstanding such conversion.

Redemption Rights

The Company may redeem any or all of the Series B Preferred Stock on a date fixed by the Company for redemption that is on or after the five year anniversary of the closing date under the Securities Purchase Agreements for cash in an amount equal to the product of the Liquidation Preference on the close of business on such redemption date and 105%; provided that the Company may not redeem such shares of Series B Preferred Stock unless it has sufficient funds legally available and is permitted under the terms of its indebtedness for borrowed money to effect such redemption and certain common stock liquidity conditions are satisfied on such redemption date.

Right of Holders to Cause Company Repurchase

If a "Fundamental Change" (as defined in the Series B Certificate of Designation to include certain change of control transactions, as sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company and its subsidiaries (taken as a whole) or certain de-listing events), a holder of Series B Preferred Stock may elect to either (a) convert all or a portion of such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock into shares of common stock at the then-applicable Conversion Price, effective as of immediately prior to such Fundamental Change, or (b) require the Company to repurchase all or any whole number of such holder's shares of Series B Preferred Stock (that have not been converted into shares of common stock) for cash (out of funds legally available therefor) equal to the greater of (i) the sum of the Liquidation Preference, plus the "Make-Whole Amount" determined pursuant to the Series B Certificate of Designation and (ii) the amount such holder would have received had such holder exercised such holder's option to convert such shares of Series B Preferred Stock into common stock immediately prior to such "Fundamental Change."

Voting Rights

Subject to applicable law, each holder of a share of Series B Preferred Stock is entitled to vote the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock into which such share could be converted on all matters on which shareholders of the Company generally are entitled to vote.

Additionally, the consent of the holders of Series B Preferred Stock of a majority of the outstanding voting power of the Series B Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class, will be required for so long as any shares of the Series B Preferred Stock remain outstanding for (i) amendments to the certificate of designation or the Company's certificate of incorporation that would alter or change the powers, if any, or the preferences or relative, participating, optional, special or other rights, if any, or the qualifications, limitations or restrictions, if any, thereof, (ii) any increase or decrease of the authorized number of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iii) any issuance of shares of Series B Preferred Stock, (iv) the creation of any new class or series of stock of the Company that is senior to, or on parity with, the Series B Preferred Stock, (v) any amendments to the Company's certificate of incorporation, bylaws or the Series B Certificate of Designation in a manner that adversely affects the Series B Preferred Stock, (vi) any action to deregister or delist the common stock from a national securities exchange, or (vii) the entrance into a transaction with an affiliate of the Company other than on terms no less favorable to the Company than would be obtained in an arms' length transaction with a bona fide third party, as determined by the board of directors of the Company in its reasonable judgment. In addition, any action that would adversely affect the rights of any holder of Series B Preferred Stock in a manner disproportionate to the other holders of Series B Preferred Stock will require the consent of such affected holder.

10

Table of Contents

Preemptive Rights

In addition, we have agreed that so long as the applicable holder of Series B Preferred Stock holds at least 50% of the Series B Preferred Stock issued to them, at any time the Company makes any non-public offering of any capital stock or securities convertible into capital stock (subject to certain customary exceptions), such holder shall have the right to acquire from the Company its pro rata portion of the capital stock being offered for the same price and on the same terms being offered. These customary exceptions include (1) issuances to directors, officers and employees, including pursuant to the Company's equity plans, (2) issuances made as consideration for acquisitions, (3) issuances of securities as a result of a stock split, stock dividend, spin-off, reclassification or reorganization or similar event and (4) securities issued pursuant to the conversion, exercise or exchange of Series B Preferred Stock.

Exclusive Forum

The Company's certificate of incorporation provides that unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the Delaware Court of Chancery will be the sole and exclusive forum for: (1) derivative actions or proceedings brought on behalf of us; (2) actions asserting a claim of fiduciary duty owed by any of our directors, officers or employees to us or our shareholder; (3) civil actions to interpret, apply, enforce or determine the validity of the certificate of incorporation or bylaws; or (4) actions asserting a claim governed by the internal affairs doctrine. If the Delaware Court of Chancery lacks jurisdiction over any of the foregoing actions or proceedings, the certificate of incorporation provides that the sole and exclusive forum for such actions or proceedings will be another state or federal court located in the State of Delaware, as long as such court has personal jurisdiction over the parties. In addition, the certificate of incorporation provides that, unless we consent in writing to the selection of an alternative forum, the federal district courts of the United States will, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be the sole and exclusive forum for any action asserting a claim arising under the Securities Act.

Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), a Delaware corporation may include in its certificate of incorporation a provision that, subject to the limitations described below, eliminates or limits the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breaches of fiduciary duty as a director. Such a provision may not eliminate or limit the liability of a director for (i) any breach of the duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) acts or omissions not in good faith or that involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) the willful or negligent payment of unlawful dividends or purchases or redemptions of shares of stock, or (iv) transactions from which such director derived an improper personal benefit. The Company's certificate of incorporation includes a provision providing that directors of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or our shareholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent such exemption or limitation is not permitted by the DGCL.

The DGCL also provides that a Delaware corporation has the power to indemnify any person who is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative) by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee of another entity, against reasonable expenses (including attorneys' fees) and, in actions not brought by or in the right of the corporation, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement, in each case, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, but only if such person acted in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful, except that in any action brought by or in the right of the corporation, such indemnification may not be made if such person is adjudged liable to the corporation (unless otherwise determined by the court in which such action, suit or proceeding was brought or the Delaware Court of Chancery). In addition, under Delaware law, to the extent that a present or former director or officer of a Delaware corporation has been successful on the merits or otherwise in defense of any action, suit or proceeding referred to above or any claim, issue or matter therein, he or she must be indemnified by the corporation against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him or her. Furthermore, under Delaware law, a Delaware corporation is permitted to maintain directors' and officers' insurance.

The Company's bylaws require the Company to indemnify any person who is or was a party or is threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or proceeding described above by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director of the Company or, while a director or officer of the Company, is or was serving at the request of the Company as a director, officer, employee or agent of another entity, to the fullest extent permitted by law. The Company's bylaws also require the Company to pay the legal expenses (including attorneys' fees) of any such person in defending any such action, suit or proceeding in advance of its final disposition subject, in the case of present directors and officers, to the provision by such director or officer of an undertaking to repay the amounts advanced if it is ultimately determined that such director or officer is not entitled to be indemnified under the bylaws or otherwise.

Table of Contents

The Company maintains directors' and officers' liability insurance for its directors and officers. Further, effective October 1, 2019, the Company entered into director and officer indemnification agreements, which were further amended and restated, pursuant to which the Company agreed to additional indemnification and advancement procedures and protections for its directors and certain of its executive officers.

Anti-Takeover Effects of Delaware Law and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws

Delaware law and the Company's certificate of incorporation and bylaws contain provisions that may prevent or discourage a third party from acquiring the Company, even if the acquisition would be beneficial to our shareholders.

Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, our board of directors have the authority to create one or more series of preferred stock of the Company (in addition to the Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock) and to fix the designations and the powers, preferences and rights, if any, and the qualifications, limitations and restrictions, if any, of shares of such new series of preferred stock of the Company and to issue shares of such series without a shareholder vote, which could be used to dilute the ownership of a hostile acquiror.

Pursuant to the certificate of incorporation, our board of directors have the power to amend the bylaws of the Company, which may allow our board of directors to take certain actions to prevent an unsolicited takeover.

The Company is also subject to Delaware law prohibiting the Company from engaging in any "business combination" with an "interested stockholder" for a period of three years subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder unless:

prior to such time, our board of directors approved either the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder;

upon completion of the transaction that resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the outstanding voting stock (with certain exclusions); or

at or after the person becomes an interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by our board of directors and authorized by a vote of at least 66 2/3% of the outstanding voting stock of the Company not owned by the interested stockholder.

For purposes of Delaware law, an "interested stockholder" generally is defined as an entity or person (other than the corporation and any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of the corporation) directly or indirectly beneficially owning 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation and any entity or person affiliated or associated with such entity or person.

For purposes of Delaware law, a "business combination" includes mergers, asset sales and other transactions resulting in financial benefit to a stockholder. This Delaware law could prohibit or delay mergers or other takeover or change of control attempts with respect to the Company and, accordingly, may discourage attempts that might result in a premium over the market price for the shares held by shareholders of the Company.

Transfer Agent and Registrar

The transfer agent and registrar for the Company's common stock is Computershare Trust Company, N.A.

No Protection In the Event of a Change of Control

Unless we state otherwise in the applicable prospectus supplement, the debt securities will not contain any provisions which may afford holders of the debt securities protection in the event we have a change in control or in the event of a highly leveraged transaction (whether or not such transaction results in a change in control) which could adversely affect holders of debt securities.

Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets

We may not consolidate with or merge with or into, or convey, transfer or lease all or substantially all of our properties and assets to any person (a "successor person") unless:

immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default, shall have occurred and be continuing.

Notwithstanding the above, any of our subsidiaries may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties to us.

Table of Contents

Events of Default

"Event of Default" means with respect to any series of debt securities, any of the following:

default in the payment of any interest upon any debt security of that series when it becomes due and payable, and continuance of that default for a period of 30 days (unless the entire amount of the payment is deposited by us with the trustee or with a paying agent prior to the expiration of the 30-day period);

default in the payment of principal of any debt security of that series at its maturity;

default in the performance or breach of any other covenant or warranty by us in the indenture (other than a covenant or warranty that has been included in the indenture solely for the benefit of a series of debt securities other than that series), which default continues uncured for a period of 60 days after we receive written notice from the trustee or APi and the trustee receive written notice from the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series as provided in the indenture;

certain voluntary or involuntary events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of APi; or

any other Event of Default provided with respect to debt securities of that series that is described in the applicable prospectus supplement

No Event of Default with respect to a particular series of debt securities (except as to certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization) necessarily constitutes an Event of Default with respect to any other series of debt securities. The occurrence of certain Events of Default or an acceleration under the indenture may constitute an event of default under certain of our indebtedness or that of our subsidiaries outstanding from time to time.

If an Event of Default with respect to debt securities of any series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing, then the trustee or the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may, by a notice in writing to us (and to the trustee if given by the holders), declare to be due and payable immediately the principal of (or, if the debt securities of that series are discount securities, that portion of the principal amount as may be specified in the terms of that series) and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all debt securities of that series. Such acceleration will not be effective until the earlier of (1) the acceleration of indebtedness under our senior secured credit facilities or (2) five business Days after receipt by us of written notice of such acceleration, at which time the principal, premium, if any, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding series of debt securities will become due and payable immediately. In the case of an Event of Default resulting from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, the principal (or such specified amount) of and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all outstanding debt securities will become and be immediately due and payable without any declaration or other act on the part of the trustee or any holder of outstanding debt securities. At any time after a declaration of acceleration with respect to debt securities of any series has been made, but before a judgment or decree for payment of the money due has been obtained by the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series may rescind and annul the acceleration if all Events of Default, other than the non-payment of accelerated principal and interest, if any, with respect to debt securities of that series, have been cured or waived as provided in the indenture. We refer you to the prospectus supplement relating to any series of debt securities that are discount securities for the particular provisions relating to acceleration of a portion of the principal amount of such discount securities upon the occurrence of an Event of Default.

The indenture provides that the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture unless the trustee receives indemnity satisfactory to it against any cost, liability or expense which might be incurred by it in exercising such right of power. Subject to certain rights of the trustee, the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for any remedy available to the trustee or exercising any trust or power conferred on the trustee with respect to the debt securities of that series.

No holder of any debt security of any series will have any right to institute any proceeding, judicial or otherwise, with respect to the indenture or for the appointment of a receiver or trustee, or for any remedy under the indenture, unless:

16

Table of Contents

that holder has previously given to the trustee written notice of a continuing Event of Default with respect to debt securities of that series; and

the holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series have made written request, and offered reasonable indemnity or security, to the trustee to institute the proceeding as trustee, and the trustee has not received from the holders of not less than a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of that series a direction inconsistent with that request and has failed to institute the proceeding within 60 days.

Notwithstanding any other provision in the indenture, the holder of any debt security will have an absolute and unconditional right to receive payment of the principal of, premium and any interest on that debt security on or after the due dates expressed in that debt security and to institute suit for the enforcement of payment.

The indenture requires us, within 120 days after the end of our fiscal year, to furnish to the trustee a statement as to compliance with the indenture. If a Default or Event of Default occurs and is continuing with respect to the debt securities of any series and if it is known to a responsible officer of the trustee, the trustee shall mail to each holder of the debt securities of that series notice of a Default or Event of Default within 90 days after it occurs. The indenture provides that the trustee may withhold notice to the holders of debt securities of any series of any Default or Event of Default (except in payment on any debt securities of that series) with respect to debt securities of that series if the trustee determines in good faith that withholding notice is in the interest of the holders of those debt securities.

Modification and Waiver

We and the trustee may modify and amend the indenture or the debt securities of any series without the consent of any holder of any debt security:

to cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

to comply with covenants in the indenture described above under the heading "Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets";

to provide for uncertificated securities in addition to or in place of certificated securities;

to make any change that does not adversely affect the rights of any holder of debt securities;

to provide for the issuance of and establish the form and terms and conditions of debt securities of any series as permitted by the indenture;

to add covenants for the benefit of the holders or to surrender any right or power conferred upon APi;

to effect the appointment of a successor trustee with respect to the debt securities of any series and to add to or change any of the provisions of the indenture to provide for or facilitate administration by more than one trustee; or

to comply with requirements of the SEC in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

We may also modify and amend the indenture with the consent of the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of each series affected by the modifications or amendments.

We may not make any modification or amendment without the consent of the holders of each affected debt security then outstanding if that amendment will:

reduce the amount of debt securities whose holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

reduce the rate of or extend the time for payment of interest (including default interest) on any debt security;

17

Table of Contents

reduce the principal of or premium on or change the fixed maturity of any debt security or reduce the amount of, or postpone the date fixed for, the payment of any sinking fund or analogous obligation with respect to any series of debt securities;

reduce the principal amount of discount securities payable upon acceleration of maturity;

waive a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or interest on any debt security (except a rescission of acceleration of the debt securities of any series by the holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding debt securities of that series and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

make the principal of or premium or interest on any debt security payable in currency other than that stated in the debt security;

make any change to certain provisions of the indenture relating to, among other things, the right of holders of debt securities to receive payment of the principal of, premium and interest on those debt securities and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment and to waivers or amendments; and

waive a redemption payment with respect to any debt security.

Except for certain specified provisions, the holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all debt securities of that series waive our compliance with provisions of the indenture. The holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may on behalf of the holders of all the debt securities of such series waive any past default under the indenture with respect to that series and its consequences, except a default in the payment of the principal of, premium or any interest on any debt security of that series; provided, however, that the holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding debt securities of any series may rescind an acceleration and its consequences, including any related payment default that resulted from the acceleration.

Defeasance of Debt Securities and Certain Covenants in Certain Circumstances

Legal Defeasance. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, we may be discharged from any and all obligations in respect of the debt securities of any series (subject to certain exceptions). We will be so discharged upon the deposit with the trustee, in trust, of money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities.

This discharge may occur only if, among other things, we have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel stating that we have received from, or there has been published by, the United States Internal Revenue Service a ruling or, since the date of execution of the indenture, there has been a change in the applicable United States federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion shall confirm that, the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit, defeasance and discharge and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit, defeasance and discharge had not occurred.

Defeasance of Certain Covenants. The indenture provides that, unless otherwise provided by the terms of the applicable series of debt securities, upon compliance with certain conditions:

we may omit to comply with the covenant described under the heading "Consolidation, Merger and Sale of Assets" and certain other covenants set forth in the indenture, as well as any additional covenants which may be set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement; and

any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or an Event of Default with respect to the debt securities of that series ("covenant defeasance").

Table of Contents

The conditions include:

depositing with the trustee money and/or U.S. government obligations or, in the case of debt securities denominated in a single currency other than U.S. Dollars, government obligations of the government that issued or caused to be issued such currency, that, through the payment of interest and principal in accordance with their terms, will provide money in an amount sufficient in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants or investment bank to pay and discharge each installment of principal of, premium and interest on and any mandatory sinking fund payments in respect of the debt securities of that series on the stated maturity of those payments in accordance with the terms of the indenture and those debt securities; and

delivering to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that the holders of the debt securities of that series will not recognize income, gain or loss for United States federal income tax purposes as a result of the deposit and related covenant defeasance and will be subject to United States federal income tax on the same amounts and in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if the deposit and related covenant defeasance had not occurred.

Covenant Defeasance and Events of Default. In the event we exercise our option to effect covenant defeasance with respect to any series of debt securities and the debt securities of that series are declared due and payable because of the occurrence of any Event of Default, the amount of money and/or U.S. government obligations or foreign government obligations on deposit with the trustee will be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of their stated maturity but may not be sufficient to pay amounts due on the debt securities of that series at the time of the acceleration resulting from the Event of Default. However, we shall remain liable for those payments.

Governing Law

The indenture and the debt securities will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the law of the State of New York.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

We may from time to time offer and/or sell some or all of the securities covered by this prospectus. Registration of securities covered by this prospectus does not mean, however, that those securities necessarily will be offered or sold. We may sell the securities in a variety of methods from time to time, including the following:

to or through underwriters or dealers for resale;

directly to a limited number of purchasers or to a single purchaser;

in "at the market offerings," within the meaning of Rule 415(a)(4) under the Securities Act, to or through a market maker or into an existing trading market, on an exchange or otherwise;

through agents which we may designate to solicit purchases for the period of their appointment; or

through a combination of any of these methods of sale.

The applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the terms of the offering of such securities, including:

the name or names of any underwriters, dealers or agents and the amounts of shares underwritten or purchased by each of them;

the public offering price of the shares;

the net proceeds to us;

any discounts, commissions or concessions or other compensation allowed or reallowed or paid to underwriters, dealers or agents; and

any exchange or market on which the securities are listed or to which application will be made to list the securities.

Table of Contents

If we are offering shares of our common stock, we may permit those selling shareholders named in any prospectus supplement to participate in the offering. If any selling shareholders are participating in an offering, the prospectus supplement will also include the following:

the name or names of the selling shareholders;

the amount of shares to be sold by each selling shareholder and the proceeds from such sales; and

any additional terms, including lock-up provisions, that may be placed on the participating selling shareholders in connection with their sale of securities in the offering.

We may offer these securities to the public through underwriting syndicates represented by managing underwriters or through underwriters without a syndicate. If underwriters are used, the securities will be acquired by the underwriters for their own account. The underwriters may resell the securities in one or more transactions, including negotiated transactions at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Unless otherwise indicated in the related prospectus supplement, the obligations of the underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to customary conditions precedent and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all the securities offered if any of the securities are purchased. Underwriters may sell securities to or through dealers, and the dealers may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agent. Any public offering price and any discounts or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to dealers may be changed from time to time.

Underwriters and agents may from time to time purchase and sell the securities described in this prospectus and the relevant prospectus supplement in the secondary market, but are not obligated to do so. No assurance can be given that there will be a secondary market for the securities or liquidity in the secondary market if one develops. From time to time, underwriters and agents may make a market in the securities.

In order to facilitate the offering of the securities, the underwriters may engage in transactions that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of these securities or any other securities the prices of which may be used to determine payments on these securities. Specifically, the underwriters may over-allot in connection with the offering, creating a short position in the securities for their own accounts. In addition, to cover over-allotments or to stabilize the price of the securities or of any other securities, the underwriters may bid for, and purchase, the securities or any other securities in the open market. Finally, in any offering of the securities through a syndicate of underwriters, the underwriting syndicate may reclaim selling concessions allowed to an underwriter or a dealer for distributing the securities in the offering, if the syndicate repurchases previously distributed securities in transactions to cover syndicate short positions, in stabilization transactions or otherwise. Any of these activities may stabilize or maintain the market price of the securities above independent market levels. The underwriters are not required to engage in these activities, and may end any of these activities at any time.

Underwriters named in a prospectus supplement are, and dealers and agents named in a prospectus supplement may be, deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act in connection with the securities offered thereby, and any discounts or commissions they receive from us and any profit on their resale of the securities may be deemed to be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. We may have agreements with the underwriters, agents and dealers to indemnify them against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to contribute to payments they may be required to make in respect of these liabilities. Underwriters, agents and dealers may engage in transactions with or perform services for APi or our subsidiaries and affiliates in the ordinary course of business.

One or more firms, referred to as "remarketing firms," may also offer or sell the securities, if the prospectus supplement so indicates, in connection with a remarketing arrangement upon their purchase. Remarketing firms will act as principals for their own accounts or as agents for us. These remarketing firms will offer or sell the securities in accordance with a redemption or repayment pursuant to the terms of the securities. The prospectus supplement will identify any remarketing firm and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us and will describe the remarketing firm's compensation. Remarketing firms may be deemed to be underwriters in connection with the securities they remarket. Remarketing firms may be entitled under agreements that may be entered into with us to indemnification by us against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act and may be customers of, engage in transactions with or perform services for us in the ordinary course of business.

Unless indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we do not expect to apply to list the securities on a securities exchange.

The audit report on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, expresses an opinion that APi Group Corporation did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022, because of the effect of a material weakness on the achievement of the objectives of the control criteria and contains an explanatory paragraph that states the Company had ineffective user access controls related to an information technology system and ineffective operation of process level controls over revenue recognition. Further, such report contains an emphasis of matter paragraph that states the Company acquired Chubb Fire & Security during 2022, and management excluded from its assessment of the effectiveness of the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2022. The audit report also excluded an evaluation of the internal control over financial reporting of Chubb Fire & Security.
