On December 7, 2022, the Board of Directors (the "Board") of KKR & Co. Inc. (the "Company" and together with its subsidiaries, “KKR”) approved the vesting of equity awards representing 150,000 shares of the Company's common stock previously granted to David Sorkin, the Company's Chief Legal Officer, pursuant to the Amended and Restated KKR & Co. Inc. 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, on May 1, 2026, without requiring his continued employment with KKR through May 1, 2026.  After vesting, these equity awards will be subject to the Company's customary 1- and 2-year transfer restrictions. 

The vesting of these equity awards was approved in connection with Mr. Sorkin’s previously announced plans to step down as Chief Legal Officer by the end of the first quarter of 2023, when Kathryn King Sudol, the Company's General Counsel and Secretary, will assume the role of the Company's Chief Legal Officer.  As part of the Board's approval, the remaining 150,000 equity awards previously granted as part of a 300,000 equity award grant to Mr. Sorkin were immediately forfeited.
