Explanation of Responses:

* If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
** Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(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 August 31, 2016, 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 a trust (the "Trust") of which the Reporting Person is not a trustee. 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. 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 reflects the aggregate number of units of KKR Holdings L.P. held by the Partnership.
(4) On November 4, 2016, for estate planning purposes, the Reporting Person made a gift of certain limited partner interests in the Partnership, which were received by the Partnership from the Reporting Person as described in footnote 5, 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. The gift was exempt from matching pursuant to Rule 16b-5 under the Exchange Act.
(5) Reflects a transfer of an additional 225,000 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.
(6) As previously reported in a Form 4 filed on February 25, 2016, these units of KKR Holdings L.P. were previously granted to the Reporting Person in connection with his service to the company. On November 2, 2016, the board of directors of the general partner of KKR & Co. L.P. consented to a modification to such units, and such units were modified by the general partner of KKR Holdings L.P. to eliminate the market price vesting condition and modify the service-based vesting schedule, to provide that the units will vest in equal annual installments beginning on May 1, 2017 and ending May 1, 2021, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through the applicable vesting dates.
(7) These units will vest in equal annual installments beginning on May 1, 2017 and ending May 1, 2021, subject to the Reporting Person's continued service through the applicable vesting dates.
