See Appendix for pro forma balance sheet metrics. Balance Sheet Goals Scale to support growth initiatives Liquidity to pursue attractive investments and acquisitions Significant recurring yield (plus gains) to drive distribution Strong investment returns Liquidity Yield Scale Non-PE holdings represent those held on KKR’s balance sheet that are not (i) made as a general partner or limited partner in KKR’s private equity vehicles, or (ii) co-investments in portfolio companies of KKR’s private equity vehicles. Liquid holdings represent those that KKR believes can be monetized in a relatively short time frame and at a value close to their current fair value. The determination of what holdings qualify as liquid is based on management’s judgment. Yielding holdings represent those that are expected to generate some component of their return in the form of current yield. The determination of what holdings qualify as yielding is based on management’s judgment. (1) (2) (3) 6

Distribution Policy Realized Cash Carry Net Realized Principal Investment Income Adjusted Run-Rate Income(1) Fee Related Earnings Distribution of 100% of realized earnings from KFN portfolio introduces an additional significant, recurring component to our distribution 7 Realized Gain & Other Income(2) Note: The declaration and payment of any distributions are subject to the discretion of the board of directors of the general partner of KKR & Co. L.P. and the terms of its limited partnership agreement. KKR also retains amounts necessary or appropriate to provide for the conduct of its business, to make appropriate investments in its business and its investment funds and to comply with applicable law and any of its debt instruments or other obligations. Assumes transaction closes. Represents KFN run-rate income (total revenues net of total investment costs and expenses and preferred share distributions), adjusted to deduct all other KFN expenses (total other expenses and income tax expense).

The financial results have been prepared on the basis of the specific assumptions set forth above, which assumptions are hypothetical and not representative of any actual or anticipated funds or transactions. Actual results and events may differ materially from the assumptions underlying this example. There can be no assurance that the example financial results will reflect actual financial results or reflect any actual investments, and actual results may be substantially different from those illustrated herein.

KFN Management Agreement KFN is currently managed by KKR under a management agreement that entitles KKR to: A 175 bps per annum management fee on KFN’s adjusted equity 25% of KFN’s earnings above an 8% hurdle (no catch-up)(1) An expense reimbursement for G&A expenses incurred by KKR on behalf of KFN The earnings currently associated with the KFN management fee would be reclassified as investment income post-transaction. Assuming no incentive fees, the summary financial impact on KKR: Fee related revenues would be expected to decline by approximately $39 mm Expense reimbursement would be reduced by $7 mm Investment income would be expected to increase by approximately $46 mm Taken together these adjustments result in no impact to Total Distributable Earnings 17 (1) Hurdle rate is based on the weighted average issuance price of KFN shares, which exceeds current common book value. The effective hurdle rate on KFN’s current book value is closer to approximately 12%.
