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) A limited liability company established for the purpose of making charitable donations (the "Charitable Company") of which the Reporting Person is a member and a manager received 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.) from KKR Holdings L.P. in exchange for units of KKR Holdings L.P. and exchanged such KKR Group Partnership Units for common units of KKR & Co. L.P., in each case as described in footnote 2 below.
(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 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) These securities are held by the Charitable Company, and the securities remaining after the charitable gift described in footnote 4 below will not be sold in 2012.
(4) Represents a gift from the Charitable Company to a charitable organization.
(5) The Reporting Person had previously contributed 150,000 units of KKR Holdings L.P. from the Reporting Person's direct ownership to the Charitable Company in a transaction exempt from reporting pursuant to Rule 16a-13 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which merely changed the form of the Reporting Person's pecuniary interest in such securities from direct to indirect.
(6) These units are held by a limited partnership established, whose general partner is a limited liability company (different than the Charitable Company referred to in the footnotes above) of which the Reporting Person is the sole member and investment manager. The number of units reported reflects the aggregate number of units of KKR Holdings L.P. held by the limited 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.
