Explanation of Responses:
(1)  On February 22, 2012, KKR Holdings L.P. distributed 4,548,024 KKR Group Partnership Units (which refers collectively to Class A partner interests in each of KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR Fund Holdings L.P.) to certain KKR employees and other persons (none of whom are executive officers of KKR & Co. L.P.). These KKR Group Partnership Units were exchanged by those employees and other persons for common units of KKR & Co. L.P. on a one-for-one basis 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. As a result, KKR & Co. L.P.'s percentage ownership in the KKR Group Partnerships (consisting of KKR Management Holdings L.P. and KKR Fund Holdings L.P.) increased, and KKR Holdings L.P.'s percentage ownership in them decreased.

Remarks:
Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, KKR Holdings L.P. states that this filing shall not be an admission that KKR Holdings L.P. is the beneficial owner of any of the securities reported herein, and KKR Holdings L.P. disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of KKR Holdings L.P.'s pecuniary interest therein.
