Protection 1

What it does

Protection 1 was the Apollo-backed business that combined with ADT in May 2016. The transaction announcement identified Prime Security Services Borrower, LLC and its subsidiaries collectively as Protection 1.

This profile preserves the business name and historical role described in the 2016 acquisition record. It does not treat Protection 1, Apollo and ADT as interchangeable legal entities or claim a separately verified current ownership structure.
