Explanation of Responses:
(1)  Pursuant to an exchange agreement as contemplated by KKR & Co. L.P.'s prospectus dated September 21, 2011, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 23, 2011, units of KKR Holdings L.P. are exchangeable for KKR Group Partnership Units (which term refers collectively to Class A partner interests in each of KKR Management Holdings L.P., KKR Fund Holdings L.P. and KKR International Holdings L.P.) on a one-for-one basis, and KKR Group Partnership Units are exchangeable for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis.
(2)  On November 8, 2017, for estate planning purposes, the Reporting Person made a gift of certain limited partner interests in the limited partnership described in footnote 3 below (the "Partnership"), to his spouse. The number reported reflects the portion of units of KKR Holdings L.P. held by the Partnership that corresponds to the limited partner interests gifted to his spouse on such date. The gift was exempt from matching pursuant to Rule 16b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
(3)  These securities are held by the Partnership, whose general partner is a limited liability company over which the Reporting Person has investment discretion. The number reported as beneficially owned following the reported transaction reflects the aggregate number of units of KKR Holdings L.P. held by the Partnership.
(4)  Reflects a transfer of an additional 333,333 KKR Holdings L.P. units from the Reporting Person to the Partnership. This transfer, which was exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-13 under the Exchange Act, merely changed the form of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in such securities from direct to indirect.

Remarks:
Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) of the Exchange Act, the Reporting Person states that this filing shall not be an admission that the Reporting Person is the beneficial owner of any of the securities reported herein as indirectly held, and the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein.
