Explanation of Responses:
(1)	This Form 4 reflects a gift and certain transfers of KKR Holdings L.P. units for estate planning purposes involving a limited partnership (the "Partnership"), whose general partner (the "General Partner") is a limited liability company of which the Reporting Person is the sole member and investment manager and whose limited partners are the Reporting Person and a trust (the "Trust") of which the Reporting Person is not a trustee. The gift and transfers reflected in this Form 4 were exempt from reporting and/or matching pursuant to Rules 16a-13 and/or Rule 16b-5 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act").
(2)	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. and KKR Fund 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.
(3)	On August 15, 2012, for estate planning purposes, the Reporting Person made a gift of certain limited partner interests in the Partnership, which were received as described in footnote 4, to the Trust. 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 the Trust on such date.
(4)	On July 1, 2012, (i) the Reporting Person contributed 5,000 units of KKR Holdings L.P. from the Reporting Person's direct ownership to the General Partner, (ii) the General Partner contributed such 5,000 units of KKR Holdings L.P. to the Partnership in return for which the General Partner received a proportionate general partner interest and (iii) the Reporting Person contributed 495,000 units of KKR Holdings L.P. from the Reporting Person's direct ownership to the Partnership in return for which he received a proportionate limited partner interest. These contributions, which were 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 and from one form of indirect to another form of indirect.
(5)	These units of KKR Holdings L.P. are held by the Partnership, and the number reported reflects the aggregate number of units of KKR Holdings L.P. held by the Partnership.

Remarks:
Pursuant to Rule 16a-1(a)(4) under 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 beneficially owned, and the Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of such securities except to the extent of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein.
